Search preview now includes recent searches and a list view shows file owners.

Text alignment shortcuts (⌘-⌥-L for left, ⌘-⌥-T for center, ⌘-⌥-R for right) also work when you apply them inside the text box.

Navigate to links in comments without the interruption of an interstitial.

No more group/​align/​ungroup — quickly align objects as a temporary group by holding Shift while pressing alignment buttons. (Option/Alt also seems to work.)

Retain formatting, including bullets and text styles, when pasting between text nodes.

Not mentioned in the blog post, but a very timely and important update!

Get more efficient in your selection — if a top-level frame is selected, Figma will now select any subsequent top-level frames registered.

Annotation is a lot smoother with Pencil strokes no longer getting clipped or disturbing Auto Layout in frames. See also Marcin Wichary’s short thread on how they got to this solution.

Figma shipped a batch of lovely small improvements. See demo videos in their blog post, or read a full list with a few behind-the-scene links below.

One of my personal favorites 🙌 Organize the gradient panel faster by double-clicking on gradient stops to evenly distribute them.

A few navigational improvements (e.g. the addition of breadcrumbs and a new page layout) were released on all plans along with updates to workspaces available only on the Enterprise plan.

In May, Dylan Field announced that Figma incorporated in Japan, set up an office in Tokyo, and started working on localizing Figma into Japanese. Last week, they launched a fully localized product interface, website, and in-region support for Japanese users.

The fresh look of the Figma Community with improved search and a new browsing experience makes it easier to discover and differentiate between categories like product (Figma or FigJam), use cases (like design systems), and resources (widgets or plugins).

Nice shipment of improvements to the FigJam iPad app, branches review in Figma, and email notifications. You can also import the contents of a Miro board into FigJam now!

Nice improvement! Too bad I can’t stamp +1 on my ideas ten times anymore… BTW, there is a cool easter egg on really old stamps.

Widgets are now available in Figma! Their addition was quite predictable, considering how useful and popular they are in FigJam. Widgets for GitHub, Asana, and Jira were part of the launch. Also, both plugins and widgets are now accessible from the toolbar and easier to try before installing in the Community.

Now organization admins can better control which widgets are available to their organization’s members.

The main menu order was updated to reach full parity between Figma and FigJam.

Figma fixed a number of bugs that should make your branch merges go a lot smoother.

It’s finally here! Pro tip: open the Quick Actions panel (Cmd-/) and type ​“dark” to switch quickly and avoid going through nested menus.
