List view for color styles. In-line details for text styles. Search. The edit icon is available in the list view. Fantastic update!
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.
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
.
It seems like Figma is either rolling out or testing support for templates, but so far, it’s been available only to some people.
OMG @figmadesign has templates now?!?! It just keeps getting better and better omg ♥️♥️♥️ (source - @skd2492) pic.twitter.com/HnBbj6UHHQ

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

Better integrate Figma with your team’s favorite tools. Trigger actions in tools like Slack and Jira whenever a file or library is updated, commented on, published, and more.
