Same article: "By default, content training is turned on for Starter teams." and "Admins of a Starter team can toggle off content training at any time in the team's settings." The AI Terms (3) let Figma use Customer Content to improve its products when the toggle is on. One setting covers 'AI models', so both parts carry the same answer.
- Headline Organization, Enterprise covers customer content in organization files
No*
By default, content training is turned off on Organization and Enterprise plans.
Manage AI settings and content training for your team or organization (help article), read 2026-10-26 · link to this fact

Export static designs from Figma (help article), read 2026-10-26 · link to this fact
Reading: the article is "Available on any plan" and lets anyone with view access export unless the file's owner restricted copying and sharing; exporting is file by file, there is no one-click export of a whole team, so 'all' means everything can be exported, one file at a time.
How much history does the plan keep?
| Plan | Answer | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 30 days, older data hidden, not deleted | version history (current files are kept while the team exists) |
| Professional | All of it* | version history (current files are kept while the team exists) |
| Organization | All of it* | version history (current files are kept while the team exists) |
| Enterprise | All of it* | version history (current files are kept while the team exists) |

View a file's version history (help article), read 2026-10-26 · link to this fact
Reading: 'the full version history' with no limit stated for paid plans. No page read gives a number of days for Professional, Organization or Enterprise.
How long is data kept after the account ends, and can it still be exported?
30 days to export · covers all customer content

30 days to export
available to you for electronic retrieval for a period of 30 days

What the read couldn't settle
- Content training is one setting that covers 'AI models' without splitting generative from other models, so both parts carry the same answer.
- On Organization and Enterprise the help article says content training 'can't be toggled on right now'; scored 'no' for those plans rather than opt-in, since no customer can turn it on.
- Export formats beyond .fig (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF) sit on a separate export-settings article that was not read; formats lists only FIG.
- Paid-plan version history is read as 'all of it' from 'the full version history'; no page states a number of days for paid plans. The pricing table shows '30 days' in the version history row without naming the plan.
- First read 2026-10-26; second read pending.
