The receipts — real demand
“I hope Figma can add this read-only feature to avoid this sort of thing in the future! Thanks for sharing your real-life experience. ... Please add read only feature!!! It ruins all the product. ... I also wish for a possibility to set myself in read/comment only mode as an editor for a file in order to avoid any unintentional changes when inspecting/browsing/looking for any details etc.”
