The Final Step: Why How You Share Your Figma UX Report Matters
You've crafted the perfect UX report in Figma. But the final step—sharing it—is often where the process breaks down. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls.
Many UX teams pour enormous effort into creating comprehensive UX reports in Figma. They conduct research, analyze data, and design beautiful, insightful presentations with interactive prototypes. But when it's time to share these crucial documents with stakeholders, the process often reverts to clumsy, outdated methods that undermine the report's impact.
The Friction After You Click 'Export'
The problem isn't Figma. It's a fantastic tool for creation. The problem is the broken workflow that begins the moment you export your report.
- Static, Lifeless Files: Exporting to PDF or a series of PNGs kills the very interactivity you worked so hard to build. Stakeholders can't click through the prototype or appreciate the nuanced user flows. They're left with a flat, lifeless representation of a dynamic design.
- Version Control Chaos: You email
UX_Report_v1.pdf. Feedback comes in. You make changes, re-export, and sendUX_Report_v2_final.pdf. Then, a key stakeholder gives feedback on the first version, creating confusion and rework. This cycle of resending files is inefficient and prone to error. - The Black Hole of 'Sent': Did they open it? Did they read past the first page? With email attachments, you have zero visibility. You can't know if your report has been reviewed, which pages received the most attention, or if it's having the intended impact.
- Poor Mobile Experience: Stakeholders are often on the move, trying to view documents on their phones. A complex PDF report designed for a desktop is frustrating to pinch, zoom, and navigate on a small screen, diminishing its clarity and professionalism.
A Better Direction: Link-Based Document Sharing
Instead of exporting and attaching a file, imagine sharing a single, intelligent web link. This modern approach keeps your document alive and centralized. The report is viewed in a browser, optimized for any device, and any updates you make to the source document are reflected instantly without having to resend anything. This is where a link-based sharing method becomes a game-changer for UX professionals. It decouples the document from the cumbersome process of file delivery.

Realistic Scenario: Sharing a Figma UX Audit
The Old Way:
A UX researcher completes a detailed UX audit in Figma, complete with videos and interactive mockups. They export a 60MB PDF. They email it to five busy executives. One exec can't open it on their phone. Another asks for a change, forcing the researcher to update the Figma file, re-export, and send a new email blast with UX_Audit_v3_final-FINAL.pdf. They have no idea if the head of product has even opened the file.
The Featpaper Way:
The researcher uploads their report to Featpaper and shares a single link. All executives open it on their desktop or mobile, and the viewing experience is seamless. The researcher gets a notification and sees that the head of product spent five minutes on the "Key Recommendations" page. When a last-minute data correction is needed, the researcher updates the document, and the same link automatically points to the new version. No confusion, no resending files.
