Figma new Features
There is a lot of stuff that was announced during the Figma conference. Here is a quick summary:
- Branching & Merging — Now, you may create branches of your designs and merge the changes once they are ready to include them in the main file. Just like git for designers!
- Audio Calls — You may quickly discuss the file with collaborators directly in Figma! Some say that Figma is the new Clubhouse. 😉
- Up to 500 collaborators — You may now add an enormous number of people to collaborate together.
- Enhanced Figma Mirror — Update your mobile app to get a better workflow between Figma & your mobile preview. View your files & prototypes directly on mobile!
- Figma Community — The feature is out of Beta. Everyone can now join the Community!
There was also the announcement of the new big thing. Let’s see what it is!
The Big News — Figjam
Figjam is an entirely new product. Obviously, it is perfectly integrated with Figma, but when it goes out of Beta, it will be a separate paid solution.
What may you do with Figjam? Well, it is created to collaborate better in the era of remote work. It is something like an online whiteboard — the connection of Figma, Miro, Zoom & Freehand.
Figjam is created to organize Brainstorming, Design Thinking sessions and all kind of creative activity that allows you to express ideas together with your team & clients. With Figjam, you may also create all kinds of Diagrams. To help you get started, folks from Figma prepared series of Templates that allows you to see how you may organize your creative workshops. Cool!
