“Figma uses a hierarchy of organizations, workspaces, teams, folders, and files.”
“Shared workspaces: Teams organize projects, documents, and design resources.”
“Asset libraries: Components, styles, variables, and other reusable resources can be published and shared across teams.”
“Permissions: Access can be managed at team, folder, and file levels, with view and edit permissions.”
“Administrative control: Team admins can manage membership, settings, and shared libraries.”
“A particularly useful feature is the ability to maintain a dedicated design-system team that publishes libraries for other teams to consume.”
“One important consideration: team-level edit access can extend to everything inside that team, so sensitive client projects may need separate teams or more restrictive folder permissions.”
“Canva puts considerable emphasis on brand management and accessible team collaboration.”
“Shared workspaces: Team members collaborate through shared folders and designs.”
“Brand asset libraries: Brand Kits hold logos, fonts, colors, and other approved assets.”
“Multiple brands: Different Brand Kits can be created for clients, departments, or campaigns.”
“Permissions: Organization, team, and folder access controls determine who can manage or use resources.”
“Brand governance: Brand Controls help maintain consistency in the designs people create.”
“A particularly useful capability is assigning specific Brand Kits to particular folders and user groups.”
“Adobe takes a more project-centric approach to organizing collaborative work.”
“Shared projects: Related files and folders are grouped into a common project repository.”
“Asset management: Creative Cloud Libraries help teams reuse creative resources.”
“Permissions: Project access can be inherited by files and folders within the project.”
“Granular access: Individual files can receive additional permissions, but inherited project permissions cannot necessarily be reduced.”
“Granular access: Individual files can receive additional permissions, but inherited project permissions cannot necessarily be reduced.”
“The main caveat is that Adobe's documented project-sharing functionality is currently organization-level for enterprise customers.”
