Rogie: 3 new features to ease communication with your developers

Rogie demonstrates a few recent improvements to the Inspect tab.

Override Improvements and More

A few quality-of-life improvements to components, team libraries, and the Inspect tab.

Color Picker Update

You can now type CSS color names into the color picker. Here is a good demo.

Desktop App: Better Copy as PNG

“Copy as PNG” now has a keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧C or Ctrl+Shift+C) and defaults to 2x resolution.

Offline Autosave

Figma now won’t lose offline changes you make even if you close your browser or your computer crashes.

Improved Reordering in the Properties Panel

“When more than one fill, stroke, or effect is applied to an element you’ll now see a draggable icon on hover, making it easier to reorder things.” A small but mighty update — it was really painful to drag properties before!

Updated Missing Fonts Dialog

Minor UI cleanup, but you can now select all text objects using the missing font.

New Instance Swap Menu and Inspect Tab

Two features announced on the Config Europe are already live! New Instance Swap menu and updated Inspect tab help both designers and developers navigate large, complex libraries in Figma.

An easier way to manage tabular data

A smart combination of using components and Auto Layout.

Updated Fonts

“All Google Fonts, Inter, Noto, Font Awesome 5 Free, and Font Awesome 5 Brands have been updated.”

Figma now uses up to 2,000% less memory

Huge performance improvement.

A new experience for Figma Organization admins

Figma redesigned admin settings for Figma Organizations. To introduce the changes, they recorded the whole playlist of demo videos.

New Ways to Create Higher-Fidelity Prototypes in Figma

Two new prototyping features! Now, you can show multiple ways to interact with a single object and make your transitions pop with custom easing curves.

Explore Figma Community

Figma keeps improving its Community. Now you can filter resources by type, see trending files and plugins, and follow popular creators.

Figma moves away from the “master component” terminology

Sho Kuwamoto provides some context for their decision.

Style Picker Improvements

List view for color styles. In-line details for text styles. Search. The edit icon is available in the list view. Fantastic update!

A deep dive on deep search

Figma released Universal Search in April, and now they rolled out Deep Search, which allows to search for files that contain a given word or phrase.

Behind the feature: shedding light on shadow spread

Now you can adjust shadow spread in Figma on some kinds of objects to create better depth, glows, and borders. It’s fully compatible with the CSS property box-shadow.

Templates

It seems like Figma is either rolling out or testing support for templates, but so far, it’s been available only to some people.

Fine-Tune Your Typography

Tweak the spacing for individual letters, adjust the line height of individual paragraphs, and fine-tune font weights.
