Figma is completely changing how you can view, edit, and organise your drafts. Unlimited drafts are going away and will be limited to teams inside Figma only. I'm breaking down these Figma draft updates and what this change really means for its users.

What a great news for competition. Seems like Figma forgot (or doesn't care) about what made them the go-top solution for UI in the first place.

True! It's sad that Dev mode is essentially paid now.

@giljuwu9728 Ай бұрын

That's the type of things we expected would happen under Adobe. Instead, Adobe didn't bought them, gave them a whole billions of dollars and now this ? Either I never understood Figma's values as a company or it doesn't make sense.

@PunitChawla Ай бұрын

I believe it was inevitable! It's the same thing with other software was well. I get why they made this change, but it surely a huge jump

@balkosa Ай бұрын

That's why I use all cracked software. 😂

@Bodom1978 Ай бұрын

The goal of every SAAS is to first get you in with lots of great features and affordable pricing. Next comes the slow but ever increase of costs as users are locked in or require too much effort or training to move to something else. This goes for everything that is SAAS from Webflow to Vercel. Always try to avoid being locked into any SAAS where possible.

Hey! Isn't this an old update? I mean, you could have as many drafts as you want but to share it with other people you would need to shigt it to another category (I don't remember what its called) and in the free plan, you get only 3 seats for this category. Is this different?

@Sallysite105 Ай бұрын

Time just keep making new accounts when the draft is full and you don't want to delete them

@abhaykumar_v Ай бұрын

So now drafts can only be created in teams right? So do I need to purchase plans to create more than 3 drafts? If I add a member to the team can he/she view the entire files in the team or only the ones that shared with them? What might be some other downsides of purchasing a team plan

@PunitChawla Ай бұрын

Drafts are unlimited, but to share and collaborate and for access to other full features you will have a limit of 3. Some designers recently discovered that they were not able to add collaborators, Hopefully it's just a bug

So let’s say, if I’m on free plan, can I still have unlimited drafts in a team? But I’ll be the only one to edit the files and I can’t share files with others?

@PunitChawla Ай бұрын

According to their official website, yes! You can share up to 3 files in a starter plan, rest the drafts section is private to you only. Also, to be able to share your drafts you will have to be added as an editor on a paid team.

@ShravanAnbhule Ай бұрын

With increasing demand, money is to be made, understandable, but a simple pricing model would've been better. Can create / cant share / gotta move - sounds like they took some intern's idea seriously.
