The Hidden Problem with Sharing Your Figma Partnership Proposal
You've crafted the perfect partnership proposal in Figma. But the real challenge isn't creating it—it's sharing it. Learn how to solve the hidden problems of exporting and sending Figma designs.
Many teams invest heavily in creating visually compelling partnership proposals in Figma. Its collaborative power makes it the perfect tool for designing beautiful, persuasive documents. But a critical problem emerges the moment you finish: how do you share it effectively? Most teams fall back on old habits. They export the design as a PDF and attach it to an email. This simple act seems harmless, but it quietly undermines all the hard work you put into the design. The vibrant, interactive proposal you built in Figma becomes a static, lifeless file.
The Limitations of 'Export to PDF'
The problem isn't Figma; it's the outdated sharing method. Relying on file exports creates a series of frustrating, after-sharing frictions that weaken your proposal's impact.
- Loss of Control: Once you email a file, you have no idea if or when the potential partner opened it. You're left guessing whether your message landed or got lost in a crowded inbox.
- Version Hell: What happens when you spot a typo moments after sending? You have to correct it in Figma, re-export the PDF, and send a confusing "updated version" email. This creates multiple file versions and makes your team look disorganized.
- Poor Mobile Experience: PDFs are notoriously difficult to read on mobile devices. Your carefully crafted design becomes a frustrating mess of pinching and zooming, ruining the experience for busy decision-makers on the go.
- No Analytics: You get zero feedback. Which sections did they focus on? Did they read it all the way through? This lack of insight makes your follow-up efforts a complete shot in the dark.
The Solution: Link-Based Document Sharing
Instead of attaching a file that creates distance between you and your potential partner, there's a better way: share your document as a web link. This modern approach keeps your proposal dynamic, trackable, and easy to access. You don't send a copy; you grant access to the source. It fundamentally changes the post-creation workflow from a one-way street into a two-way conversation.
