UI3: Figma, redesigned limited beta
Figma has grown more complex over time, and UI3 is an effort to simplify your design experience. Our intent is to make Figma Design feel more focused for designers and more approachable for a broad range of people. We’re also creating a consistent foundation for our existing products—and products yet to come.
This new design:
- Gives you more control over the interface, with resizable and collapsible panels
- Draws more emphasis to your work on the canvas
- Makes features more intuitive by improving their placement, grouping, and how they adapt to different contexts
- Adds consistency with our other products, making it easier to switch between Figma Design, FigJam, Dev Mode, and Figma Slides

AI tools let you leverage the knowledge of large language models to help speed up your work and explore your creativity in FigJam.
Use AI tools in FigJam to:
- Generate boards and diagrams: save time preparing and building boards for any team exercise or meeting.
- Sort and summarize stickies: FigJam is the perfect place for hosting collaborative exercises like brainstorms, design critiques, and retrospectives. Afterwards, sort and summarize what happened during the meeting and create clear action items using AI.
- Jambot: a FigJam widget that adds a visual version of ChatGPT to your board. Jambot helps you summarize stickies from a meeting, brainstorm ideas, rewrite text in new styles, and more.
Desktop app open beta
Figma has a beta version of the desktop app available.
By using the beta version of the app, you're helping Figma test bug fixes and performance improvements, before we release them to the general public. The beta version does not give you access to features Figma hasn't released yet.
You can install and use the Figma desktop app and the beta version at the same time. Both versions of the desktop app will offer the same core features and functionality.
