How Do I Restore a Figma File?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 11:00 am

If you’re a Figma user, you may have noticed that there’s no easy way to restore a Figma file to an older version. Fortunately, there is a workaround that will allow you to do just that. Here’s how:

First, open the file that you want to restore in Figma. Then, go to the File menu and select the “Revert to Version” option.

A dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm your action. Click “Revert” to proceed.

Now, all you need to do is wait for Figma to revert your file back to the selected version. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to continue working on your project as usual.

PRO TIP: When you restore a Figma file, all changes made since the last backup will be lost. This includes changes made to the file structure, as well as any changes to the design itself. Be sure to backup your Figma file before restoring it, to avoid losing any work.

There are a few things to keep in mind when using this method to restore a Figma file. First, it’s important to note that this will only work if you have an internet connection.

Second, reverting to an older version will overwrite any changes that have been made since that version was saved. So, if you’ve made any changes to the file since then, they will be lost when you revert back.

Finally, it’s also worth mentioning that this method can only be used to restore files that were created in Figma. If you try to use it on a file that was imported from another program, it won’t work.

How Do I Restore a Figma File?

If you need to restore a Figma file to an older version, the process is fairly simple. Just open the file in question and select the “Revert to Version” option from the File menu. A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm your action – click “Revert” and wait for Figma to finish reverting the file.
