Design & Creativity · Lesson 6

Collaborate in Figma without Losing Design Context

Create shared working habits for feedback, decisions and file organization across a product team.

Real-time collaboration is valuable only when people can tell what is current, what is exploratory and what decision is needed. Make status visible inside the file.

What you will learn

  • Separate work in progress from approved design
  • Use comments for specific, resolvable feedback
  • Document decisions where future collaborators will find them
Practice assignmentRun a design review with one frame labeled Ready for review and a short decision question. Resolve comments only after recording the chosen direction.
