How to share a Figma link

• Anyone: works for anyone who has the link. Good for sharing with clients or the public, risky with can edit.
• Organization: works for anyone signed in to your organization. Needs an Organization or Enterprise plan.
• Workspace: works for people in your workspace only. Needs an Enterprise plan.
• Only invited people: works only for people you've invited by email or user group. The tightest option.

The link setting and the invite list work together. A person you invited keeps their own permission, and the link setting decides what everyone else gets. If the link says can edit, anyone it reaches can edit, whatever you set for individual people. When in doubt, keep the link at can view and invite editors by name.

In Share, set link access to Anyone and the permission to can view. Anyone with the link can then open the file. Use can edit with Anyone only when you really mean it: every person who gets the link, including anyone it's forwarded to, can change the file.

Set link access to Only invited people. The link then only works for people you've invited by email or user group, each with their own can view or can edit permission. Review that list in the same menu and change anyone who shouldn't edit to can view. The edit access guide explains why someone with can edit may still open the file view-only.

On paid plans, the Share settings also have Allow viewers to copy, share, and export. Turn it off to stop viewers from duplicating the file, exporting assets or using Save local copy.

Set the link permission to can edit. People who open it can edit only if their seat covers the product too, so a teammate on a View or Collab seat still lands in view-only. For outside collaborators, inviting them by email with can edit is safer than an editable Anyone link.

A prototype-only link shows the flow without the design file behind it. It's a paid-plan feature. On the Starter plan, people who open a shared prototype can choose Open in editor and see the file. Each prototype flow also has its own copyable link, so you can send people straight to one flow. To check how it looks on a phone, see viewing a Figma prototype on your phone.

Open Share, click the permission next to the person, choose Owner, then Transfer ownership. Keep these rules in mind:

• Only the current owner can do it, and it can't be undone.
• A file in your drafts can go to anyone you've shared it with. A file in a team can only go to an existing collaborator.
• It changes the owner, not the location. The file stays where it is, so move it to the right team or project separately.

1. Check the link access is no wider than it needs to be.
2. Check the link permission. Most links should be can view.
3. On a paid plan, decide whether viewers may copy, share and export.
4. For a prototype review, send the prototype or flow link instead of the file link.

Anyone with at least view access can leave comments, on every plan. That makes a can view link the usual way to collect feedback without risking edits. Here's how comments work in Figma.
