Creating a New Design File

Our Figma files follow a loose organization structure outlined above. If you're uncertain about where a new file should live, don't hesitate to reach out to the Figma Admin for clarification.

Select the Team in the left sidebar where the file should live (this will usually be the Product Design Team).
