Two quality-of-life changes landed in Figma in early August, and both matter more for big teams than the flashier launches do.
Projects are now folders
Every team file now lives in a folder, and folders can nest up to ten levels deep. You can colour-code them, and nested folders inherit access permissions from their parent, with the option to restrict a folder to specific people. If your team has been faking hierarchy with naming conventions like ‘2026 / Client / Web / v3’, you can finally stop.
Limits on AI credits
Admins can now set a custom AI credit limit for individual people. When someone hits their limit, they can request more from an admin rather than being stuck. It's a sensible control as AI features use up more of each plan's credits.
Quick tip
Before restructuring, agree a folder template with your team, for example Client → Project → Phase, so everyone files work the same way from day one.
