And another short video from Miguel, this time about Bezier curves.

With support for components, hyperlinks, PDF export, presentation mode, and shared community files, Figma became a fantastic tool for designing slides and creating presentations. This article provides an overview of the modern workflow.

Zapier announced a new set of features for product teams, including native support for Figma Variants.

“If you’ve added a description when publishing changes to your team library, your collaborators will now be able to see your notes as they review the updates.” Also, Figma Organization Admins can now turn templates off for their organization.

Multiple updates in a single release. First, Styles can now be reordered, grouped together, and opened in a floating window. Second, you can add co-creators to your public Community files and plugins. And last, Figma files can be embedded in Asana’s project overview.

When creating a new Figma file, you can now choose from a selection of common presets and Community templates to get started. (I first wrote about templates back in July of 2020, but then it was only a limited trial.)

The plugin adds support for variable-width strokes. Made by Evan Wallace, a co-founder of Figma. (Hopefully, this is just a sign that native support is coming to the app soon!)

“Unlocking collaboration is hard, especially for large remote teams. In this livestream, LinkedIn’s Renee Reid and GitHub’s Ash Guillaume share their insights and methodologies for creating collaborative and inclusive design processes.”
