Now you can use copy and paste to quickly replace image fills in FigJam.

Experience a more responsive Apple pencil when you’re using FigJam on iPad mobile app.

Find more stickers by right-clicking on one to reveal a link to the parent library.

Easily size shapes to the same dimensions using new guidelines to match height and width.

Old news for our readers ;-) Hover over stamps to see who left them.

Stay in the diagram flow, with Connector tool (X) now persisting by default; hit Esc or V to return to the Move tool.

Create shapes and stickies faster with new auto-create prompts at the top, bottom, left, and right.

Another personal favorite! 📐 Connectors will automatically straighten when objects look center aligned — no more wonky lines!

Miggi shows how to create a FigJam file, maximize the FigJam collaboration features, navigate the FigJam toolbar, add text, images, and stickers to your file, use sections for organization, and finally, how to invite others to your FigJam file.

Interesting talk by Zeplin​’s co-founder and Head of Product Berk Cebi on the evolution of design systems over the last 10 years, the role that design tools play in this process, and the unfortunate disconnect between our design components, code, and documentation. He suggests design tokens may be one of the potential solutions and shows how they can be used to connect the parts of the design system.

I’m not a big fan of Sketch’s ​“Sketch vs Figma” page, but I had a big laugh over this. Highly resourceful.

The team at LottieFiles explains how to recreate an animation from Apple’s iPad mini website.

Cool update to a LottieFiles plugin: ​“Instantly change the colors of your animation. Apply your own custom colors, or try out our carefully curated preset color palettes.”

“In this tutorial, we redesigned SVBs banking dashboard using Anima’s open source Component Library for Figma, then connected our data using Strapi’s headless CMS. Now you can launch fullstack React apps at lightning speed using the same approach.”

Join to hear from the team at Coda and learn about their regular ​“design jams.” In this talk, Helena, Alicia, and Steve will share stories of using jams for everything from team building, to brainstorming without restraints, and even gathering input from the full company.

Great set of FigJam templates that the Figma team uses for roadmap reviews, brainstorms, team retrospectives, and product roadmap timelines.

Cool widget recommendations by Zander Whitehurst: Voice Memo, Storymapper, and FigJenda.

SystemFlow is a lightweight landing page UI kit with hundreds of components and sections that are easy to use and customize. I wrote about it back in issue 28 almost two years ago, but they’ve just released a major new version and added support for the latest Figma features. If that wasn’t enough, it also has a matching Webflow kit for building your designs.

Charli Marie helps get started with using FigJam by introducing the tools for creating user flows, sitemaps, wireframes, and brainstorming activities.

“I’m thrilled to announce that Storybook Connect for Figma is now in beta. It’s a Figma plugin which brings your stories into the design workspace. That streamlines design handoff and UI review because teams can reference code components alongside their designs.”
