  Before you start you should know

  • Supported on Professional, Education, and Organization plans.
  • Anyone with can edit access in a FigJam file can start an open session.

  Open sessions let you temporarily invite anyone to edit and interact with your FigJam files. This includes viewers and visitors without Figma accounts.

  You can use an open session to host public meetings, workshops, or feedback sessions with people who may not already have a FigJam account or be part of your team.

  • Give anyone can edit access to a FigJam file for unlimited 24 hour periods
  • Invite visitors by sharing the file's link
  • Join as a visitor without needing to create a Figma account
  • Visitors can edit and interact with your file

  Comments and audio in open sessions

  Open sessions don't currently support audio conversations and comments with visitors. To use these features, you need to log in or create an account.

  Start an open session

  Open sessions last for 24 hours at a time. You can always start a new open session for the same file to continue the open session beyond 24 hours.

  You can also add password protection to open sessions. This means only people with the link and the correct password can join the open session.

  1. Click Share in the top toolbar to open the share modal.
  2. Confirm the link sharing settings for the file. You can create public links, password-protected links, and on organization plans, organization-wide links.
  3. In the Open session section, click Start.
  4. Click Copy link to add the file link to your clipboard. You can share the file link with anyone you want to join the session.
  5. People can join the file based on the file’s link sharing settings.

  

  Open sessions aren't available in drafts

  It's not possible to start an open session for a FigJam file in your drafts when you're on a Professional team. Figma Organization admins can turn off the ability to invite temporary visitors to FigJam files from their dashboard.

  Join an open session

  When you're invited to join an open session as a visitor, you'll have access to interact with the board and make edits.

  

  To join as a visitor:

  1. Click the invite link shared with you by the file's owner.
  2. Enter your name or a fun alias. If you want to join the file using a Figma account, click Log in to sign in or create a new account.

  At this point, you can edit and interact with the file.

  If you need to access the file once an open session has ended, the file owner will need to start a new open session or invite you to the file, which requires creating a Figma account.

• Run voting sessions in FigJam
  Before you start you should know

  • Anyone in a Professional, Education, Organization, and Enterprise team can start a voting session.
  • Anyone with can edit access can participate in a voting session. This includes visitors in an Open session.

  Hold a vote in FigJam to narrow down a board full of ideas and reach decisions faster. Each participant’s choices are hidden while they vote, then the responses and final tally are revealed to all when the voting session ends.

  Use voting to:

  • See which ideas people like most to make fast decisions
  • Solicit genuine feedback without the gaze of others
  • Make sure the whole team is heard

  When voting in FigJam:

  • You can create a prompt and set how many votes each participant can cast
  • Participants can only see how their collaborators voted once the voting session is ended
  • You can view results as a team and how each participant voted

  The permissions table below shows a list of file locations and team types. Icons indicate if a file in that location can ✓ or can't ✕ have a voting session.

  File location	Starter	Education	Professional	Organization	Enterprise
  In drafts	✕	✕	✕	✓	✓
  In a team	✕	✓	✓	✓	✓

  Start a voting session

  

  You can create multiple voting prompts in a single file, and run them one at a time. This means you can separate a board into different sections and create a voting session for each section. Voting sessions can be started in files that are part of a paid team, and anyone with access to edit the file, including guests in an Open session, can cast a vote.

  To start a voting session:

  1. Click in the top toolbar.
  2. Enter a prompt for the voting. For example, “Pick your 3 favorite ideas.”
  3. Use the + / - icons to set how many votes each participant can cast.
  4. Click Start.

  At this point, anyone in the file can cast their vote using the stamp tool. Participants can see their own votes to help keep track of their picks, while their collaborator’s votes are kept hidden until the session ends.

  Note

  During a voting session, multiplayer cursors in the file are hidden so votes aren't revealed until voting has ended.

  Cast votes

  

  When a voting session starts, collaborators in the file are invited to join and given the option to Ignore the invite. Anyone who ignored the invite can click the Voting icon to join an active voting session and cast their vote.

  During a voting session, the Stamp tool is activated by default. You can:

  • Use any stamp to cast your vote
  • Vote on stickies, shapes, text, images, code blocks, and components from a Figma design file
  • Vote the amount set by the session

  End voting

  Voting sessions can be ended at any time. Anyone in the file can end the session. You can set a timer to keep the meeting on track, but still have to manually end the session.

  To end a voting session:

  1. Click in the top toolbar.
  2. Click End for everyone and confirm.

  Once a participant has cast the allowed amount of votes, they can click I’m done in the stamp wheel to exit voting mode.

  View results

  

  When a session ends, results are immediately shown so you can review them as a team. Once you’re done viewing results, you can either delete them or leave them saved in the file for future reference.

  To view results from past voting sessions:

  1. Click in the top toolbar.
  2. Select the Results tab.
  3. Select a session from the list.

  Click to delete results for a voting session.

• Facilitate meetings with spotlight

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  Anyone with can view access can use spotlight.

  Spotlight lets you gather collaborators in a file to follow your view of the Figma design canvas, prototype, or FigJam board. Spotlight yourself to:

  • Facilitate workshops, meetings, and team exercises
  • Guide your audience through your design, prototype, team exercise, or slide deck
  • Request everyone in a file follow you around a canvas, FigJam board, or prototype
  • Gather all collaborators in one part of your canvas, FigJam board, or prototype

  Use spotlight

  When you spotlight yourself, all collaborators viewing a file are notified you’ve requested they follow you. Collaborators in a file have the option to ignore your request. Once they accept your invitation to follow, they’re shown your view of the file’s board, canvas, or prototype. This comes in handy when using audio conversations for running meetings and workshops in FigJam and Figma design.

  Start spotlight

  

  1. Hover over your avatar in the top toolbar of a FigJam or Figma design file.
  2. Click Spotlight me.

  At this point, everyone currently viewing the file will be notified you’d like them to follow you. They have a few seconds to ignore your request before being shown your view of the file.

  Once you’re in the spotlight, you’ll see how many people in the file are following you and your avatar will have a dashed border.

  End spotlight

  To stop a spotlight, click Stop at the top-center of your canvas or board.

  

  Switch presenter

  Presenting is more fun when you share the spotlight. Collaborators can take the spotlight at any time. When someone else in the file hovers over their avatar and clicks Spotlight me, everyone in the file is notified that someone else is asking to be followed.

  Tip! To show someone else’s view while keeping the spotlight, presenters can click on another collaborator’s avatar to follow them around the board or canvas while keeping the spotlight on themselves.

  Follow a presenter

  When a collaborator asks everyone in the file to follow them using spotlight, you have the option to ignore their request and keep your current view and location in the file or prototype. Don’t worry, you can still follow them at any time while they’re in the spotlight. Otherwise, you’ll be placed in follow mode and be shown the view of the person in the spotlight. The avatar for the person in the spotlight will have a dashed border.

  

  Tip! Follow anyone’s view in a file at any time by clicking their avatar.

  Stop following

  To stop following someone in the spotlight, click anywhere on the canvas or board. At this point, you can explore the file as you please.

  If you want to go back to following the person in the spotlight, click their avatar in the top toolbar, which will have a dashed border.

• Stay on track with the timer in FigJam

  Before you start you should know

  • Anyone with can view or can edit access in a FigJam file can use the timer.

  Track time and manage working sessions with the timer in FigJam, whether you're working solo or in a group setting.

  

  A few things to note about the timer:

  • Anyone in the file can start, pause, add time, and stop the timer
  • You can set a timer up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds
  • There can only be one active timer per file
  • You can play music while the timer runs or on its own
  • During the countdown, time can be added but not reduced

  Note

  You currently cannot assign timer controls to a single facilitator.

  Use the timer

  To access the timer modal, click in the upper left corner of your FigJam file and select Timer from the dropdown. Once the timer is started, you can click to hide the modal and keep the timer running in the toolbar. To reopen the timer modal, click the countdown in the toolbar.

  When time is up, everyone in the file will see the timer modal shake and announce 00:00, even if they have closed the modal.

  Start timer

  To add time to the clock:

  • Type to enter the minutes and seconds
  • Press ↑ / ↓ arrows to adjust the time by a minute, or ⇧ Shift↑ / ↓ to adjust the time by 5 minute intervals. You can also adjust the seconds field by 1 or 5 seconds using these shortcuts.

  Once you're ready, press Return / Enter or click to start the countdown.

  Add time

  If you or your team need to add more time, you can press +1 min in the modal to add 1 minute per click to the timer. This can be done when the clock is running or paused.

  Pause timer

  Click to pause the timer for everyone in the file. Once paused, the clock will flash in the timer modal and the toolbar. To resume the timer, click .

  Stop timer

  Click to stop the timer for you and everyone in the file. Once stopped, the modal resets and you're able to start a new timer or click to close the modal.

  Play music

  Fill the silence by playing music while you work. In the Timer & music modal, click  and choose from the selection of preset tracks. The same music track plays for everyone in the file but users control their own music volume and can mute it for themselves.

  Note: Anyone in the file can set or change a music track.

  

  Music volume

  Hover over to mute and control the music's volume for yourself. This won't change the music's volume for anyone else in the file.

• Send messages with cursor chat
  Before you start you should know

  • Anyone with can view or can edit access in a FigJam file can use cursor chat.

  Cursor chat allows you to type live, temporary messages to others in your FigJam file. This is great for quick communication, such as:

  • Reacting to a presenter's diagram ("love this!")
  • Lightweight collaboration ("solid or dashed connectors?")
  • Discussions about the contents of a file ("wait, how did you do that?")
  • Spontaneous file encounters ("I'm in here too! Wanna voice chat?")

  

  Enter cursor chat mode

  There are multiple ways to enter cursor chat mode:

  • Deselect everything on the board and use keyboard shortcut /
  • Right-click the board and select Cursor chat from the menu
  • With the emote wheel open, click
  • Click in the upper right-hand corner and select cursor chat

  Once you've entered cursor chat mode, an empty speech bubble appears next to your cursor.

  Your chat bubble is anchored to your cursor and follows you around the board. You can pan around and pinch-to-zoom the board without exiting cursor chat.

  

  Use cursor chat

  Once cursor chat mode is activated, start typing and other collaborators in your file will see what you're typing as you're typing it. Because cursor chat is live, there is no action to confirm or send your message. Your cursor displays the message for five seconds after you're done typing.

  Tip!

  Add more to the conversation by using temporary emote reactions.

  Clear your chat

  To clear your chat and type a new message, press Return / Enter on your keyboard. Your previous message will disappear, and you can immediately type a new one.

  

  Note

  Figma does not keep a log of messages from cursor chat. Once you clear your chat, it'll disappear forever. If you need your messages to be permanent, consider dropping a comment instead.

  Exit cursor chat mode

  There are several ways to quickly exit out of cursor chat mode:

  • Press Esc
  • Click anywhere in your FigJam file
  • Switch to a different tool
  • Open a menu

  FigJam also eventually fades your cursor chat and switches you back to the select tool if you haven't typed a new message in a while.

  When you and your team have finished a jam session in FigJam, we understand why you'd want to save it and show the world what you made. FigJam lets you export your entire board as an image or your sticky notes and tables to CSV files.

  

  Note: SVG exports from FigJam aren't currently supported, but you can copy objects to a Figma design file and export that file as a SVG. Learn more about Figma's export options →.

  Export as CSV

  You can export FigJam tables or sticky notes to a CSV file.

  1. Select the content you want to export. (If exporting a table, you can select an entire table, or select specific cells, rows, or columns.)
  2. Open up the export modal using one of the below options:
     • Right-click and select Export selection.
     • Press Command + Shift + E (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + E (Windows).
  3. Fill out the export modal details, choosing whether you are exporting Stickies or Tables.
  4. Click Export.

  Note: Each sticky note translates to a cell in a CSV file. The CSV file contains one column for the Content of a sticky and a Created by column to show who created the sticky.
  
  Stickies must have the option turned on for the author's name to be included in the Created by column of the CSV file. Learn how to add your name to a sticky note →

  Export entire file

  You can export an entire FigJam board as an image.

  1. Click in the top toolbar.
  2. Go to File > Export as.
  3. Select a file type. If exporting as PNG or JPG, select a Background style.
  4. Click Export.

  Export selection

  If you only need to save a portion of your board, you can export a selection. This is useful if you want to break up your board into separate files, focus on one section of the board, or save a diagram created in FigJam.

  1. Select the items on the board you want to export.
  2. Right-click your selection, click Export selection.
  3. Select a file type. If exporting as PNG or JPG, select a Background style.
  4. Click Export.

  Image background options

  Depending on the file type, your exported image can have a solid, transparent, or grid background.
