A step by step guide on creating a new design file in Figma.

Please note that this tutorial requires you to have setup a team in Figma.

Step One: Select a Project

A screenshot of Figma that shows a team has been selected. We have highlighted a tile that appears - this represents a project. Double click a tile for the project that you wish you create a new design file in.

Within a team, select the project in which you wish to create a new design file.

Step Two: Create a new Design File

A screenshot of Figma showing a project with no design files. Highlighted on the top right is the "+ Design File" button. Click it to create a new untitled project.

Click + Design File on the top left of the screen.

Step Three: Rename the Design File

A screenshot of a newly created untitled Figma Design File. An arrow points to "Untitled" found centered at the top of the screen. Click this to rename your project.

On the top, click Untitled to rename your design file.

As shown below, this will allow you to alter the name of the design file using your keyboard.
