Use stickers and libraries in FigJam
- FigJam is Figma's new digital whiteboarding tool.
- Anyone with can edit access in a FigJam file can use libraries.
With libraries in FigJam, you can add to your board stickers and components created by your team and members of the Figma Community.
- Stickers are default objects curated by Figma you can add to your FigJam board. Use them to add flair and reactions to your board.
- Components are reusable design elements created in Figma design, by you or your team. Learn more about components →
