Client work often passes through agencies, contractors, internal teams, and external stakeholders. Access control keeps that collaboration from turning into accidental oversharing.
For teams working on secure sharing for Figma designs and prototypes, the useful question is not just “which tool exports this?” It is “what has to be true before this asset, file, or review flow is safe to ship?” Crypto is useful because it helps turn Figma work into password-protected links, secure review assets, and private design handoff flows, but the quality still comes from a clear workflow.
What to Check
- Review who has file access, project access, team access, and link access before sharing.
- Separate edit access from review access wherever possible.
- Check whether prototypes, PDFs, or password-protected links are safer than file access.
- Remove access for old reviewers, former contractors, or completed project phases.
- Document sharing decisions for NDA or procurement-sensitive clients.
Common Mistakes
- Team-level permissions can expose more than one client project if files are organized poorly.
- Convenience links may outlive the review they were created for.
- Access cleanup is easy to forget after delivery unless someone owns it.
A Practical Workflow
Crypto adds another sharing option when client review needs password protection without granting broad file access.
Start by preparing the Figma source file with real content, clear naming, and the constraints that matter for production. Then run a focused review against the checklist above before exporting or sharing. That keeps the work from turning into a last-minute cleanup job.
When This Matters Most
This matters most when the work is repeated, client-facing, compliance-sensitive, performance-sensitive, or likely to be reused by another team. One-off manual fixes can survive on memory. Repeatable production work needs a documented process.
Next Step
Use this checklist alongside the relevant Crypto tutorial or product workflow, then review Crypto when you are ready to make this process faster inside Figma.
