• Guide to FigJam

  Before you start you should know

  • FigJam is Figma's new digital whiteboarding tool.
  • Supported on any team or plan.

  FigJam is a whiteboard collaboration tool you and your team can use to brainstorm and organize ideas. You don't need to have any prior knowledge of design tools to get jamming.

  FigJam files are lightweight, inclusive environments where anyone can take part. Think of them as digital whiteboards where you and your team discover and explore ideas.

  • Brainstorm and explore ideas
  • Create decision trees, diagrams, and mind maps
  • Run critiques or feedback sessions on designs
  • Collect ideas, note feedback, and organize research
  • Plan and run meetings, tutorials, or other interactive sessions

  FigJam or Figma design?

  You can identify FigJam files in the file browser by the on the file card.

  Colors

  Color is a valuable tool that can be used in FigJam to visually communicate your ideas. FigJam comes with default color palettes depending on the object it is applied to.

  You can apply colors to text, shapes, connectors, and stickies. To improve contrast, you'll see less saturated versions of these colors on objects that support text, like shapes and stickies.

  Apply curated colors in FigJam →

  Toolbar

  With FigJam files there's less focus on precision and polish, and more focus on joyful exploration and collaboration.

  

  Tip

  Both stickies and shapes support quick create mode, allowing you to add ideas and explore concepts. Learn more about quick create →

  • A

    Navigation

    Pan, zoom, and move around FigJam files like you would in a design file:

    • Move tool: Select, move, and order objects →
    • Hand tool: Pan and zoom in FigJam files →
  • B

    Drawing tools

    Use the marker tool and highlighter to draw freehand lines and expressive shapes. It's a fun way to add doodles to the board, call attention to something important, or make abstract connections.

    Switch between thin and thick versions to make your mark(er). Figma will apply some smoothing to any lines you create with the marker.

    Use the eraser tool to remove any drawings if you make a mistake or want to make changes.

    Use drawing tools →
  • C

    Shapes

    A curated selection of shapes gives you the tools to build detailed flows and diagrams. Add text to shapes to capture ideas and use connectors to connect them.

    There are eight shapes you can access in FigJam files:

    • Ellipse (otherwise known as a circle)
    • Square
    • Rounded rectangle
    • Diamond
    • Triangle
    • Downward-pointing triangle
    • Right-facing parallelogram
    • Left-facing parallelogram
    • Cylinder
    • Horizontal cylinder
    • File
    • Folder
    Create and edit shapes with text →
  • D

    Stickies

    Stickies are the virtual equivalent to the sticky notes we all know and love.

    Capture your thoughts in stickies and move them around the board to organize your ideas. Unlike their paper counterparts, they grow vertically giving you more space to explore your ideas.

    Figma will add your name to any stickies you create, so you can easily keep track of who said what.

    Access stickies from the toolbar or the S shortcut in FigJam files.

    Create and edit stickies →
  • E

    Text

    Text is a crucial element while brainstorming and communicating information to others.

    Use the text tool to create titles and headings, add blocks of body text, or quickly jot down ideas.

    Add links to text to reference other FigJam or Figma files, direct collaborators to product documentation, or link to external websites.

    Add text and links →

  • F

    Connectors and lines

    Lines in FigJam let you create paths between shapes and stickies, illustrate order, or annotate something on your board.

    Use the connector tool to draw straight lines or elbow connectors between objects.

    Every line can be customized with its own color, text, end points, and stroke weight.

  Emotes, stamps, and high fives

  • Anyone on the file can add emotes, including people with view-only access.
  • Anyone on the file can use high fives.
  • Only people with edit access to the file can add stamps to boards.

  Emotes are temporary expressions that are great for live multiplayer experiences. They're energetic reactions that you share with others who are currently active in a file.

  Stamps are permanent stickers that you can add to the board. They're great for both live and async collaboration when you want to show your support or impressions.

  High fives are a fun way to celebrate achievements, greet others, or capture someone's attention in a file.

  Add stamps and emotes →

  Cursor chat

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

  In cursor chat mode, start typing and other collaborators in your file will see what you're typing as you're typing it. There's no action to confirm or send your message. Your cursor displays the message for five seconds after you've finished typing.

  Select cursor chat from the emote wheel.

  Anyone on the file can connect via cursor chat, including people with view-only access.

  Connect with cursor chat →

• Select, move, and order objects

  Move tool

  When you create or enter a FigJam file, the move tool is selected by default. Use the move tool to select, move, and resize objects on your board.

  Select the move tool in the toolbar or press V . 

  • Select a single object.
  • Click and hold an empty space, then drag your cursor to select multiple objects.
  • Click and hold an object, then drag your cursor to move it.

  Select

  Select objects to interact with them and change their properties. Selected objects are surrounded by a bounding box. In FigJam, components and stickers from libraries have a purple bounding box, while all other objects have a blue bounding box.

  You can deselect an object once you are done interacting with it.

  Select a single object

  1. Select the move tool in the toolbar or press V.
  2. Click on an object to select it.

  Select multiple objects

  You can select more than one object at a time. This is great when you want to perform the same action on multiple objects to save time, like changing the color of multiple shapes and stickies to blue.

  This is useful when you want to:

  • Group a selection of objects
  • Move a group of selected objects
  • Update a property, like color, across more than one object
  • Align, distribute spacing, and reorganize objects
  • Resize objects in bulk
  • Lock/unlock multiple objects

  There are a few ways to select more than one object:

  Shift key

  1. Select an object on the board.
  2. Hold down Shift and click another object.
  3. Repeat for each object you want to select.

  

  Tip!

  Click an object while holding Shift to remove it from the current selection.

  Click and drag

  Click and drag your cursor to create a box selection and select all objects in a specific area of the board. Any object that the box selection touches will be selected.

  1. Click and hold an empty part of the board.
  2. Drag the cursor across any objects you'd like to select.
  3. A blue box will appear around each object in the selection.

  

  To remove an object from the selection, hold down the Shift key and click on the object.

  Note

  Click and drag will not select locked objects.

  Select all

  If you want to select everything on your board, use the following keyboard shortcuts to select all.

  • Mac: ⌘ Command A
  • Windows: Ctrl A

  Deselect objects

  To clear your selection entirely:

  • Use the Esc key
  • Click an empty space on the board

  To deselect an object from a selection of multiple objects, hold down the Shift key and click on the object again.

  Group

  Groups allow you to combine objects together so they can be treated like a single object. To select a group, click on one of the grouped objects.

  Learn more about using groups →

  Align, tidy up, and organize your objects

  When you diagram with shapes and connectors, and leave fire stamps on that great idea your PM Emily wrote on a sticky note, you're creating objects on the FigJam board. Each object has a location on the board, and you can align and distribute them to keep things tidy.

  Align objects

  Alignment tools allow you to arrange layers on the board in relation to one another. Figma will determine your layer's alignment based on your specific selection.

  Objects in FigJam can only be aligned to other objects. There are six different alignment options:

  • Align left
  • Align horizontal centers
  • Align right
  • Align top
  • Align vertical centers

  Tidy up

  Use tidy up to rearrange and organize objects like stickies and shapes into a uniform grid of rows and columns. You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical spacing between objects and rearrange their order while maintaining their spacing.

  1. Select at least three objects on your board. Learn how to select multiple objects ↑
  2. Click in the selection's toolbar.

  Your objects are moved into a grid formation with even spacing. The dots and lines that appear in the selection's bounding box allow you to rearrange objects and adjust spacing.

  Note

  Tidy up is not available for connectors. Learn more about connectors →

  Adjust spacing

  If a selection of objects have been tidied up or have evenly distributed spacing, pink lines appear within the selection's bounding box. Click and drag the lines to increase or decrease the spacing in between objects on a horizontal or vertical plane.

  

  Rearrange objects in a grid

  If a selection of objects have been tidied up or have evenly distributed spacing, dots appear within the selection's bounding box. Click and hold a pink circle, then drag your cursor to move the object to a different position within your selection

  Rearrange multiple objects

  1. Hold Shift.
  2. Click the pink circles for each object you'd like to move.
  3. Click and hold the pink circle for a selected object, then drag your cursor to move them to a different position.

  

  Swap positions between two objects

  1. Click and hold the pink circle of a selected object.
  2. Hold the modifier key:
     • Mac: ⌘ Command
     • Windows: Control
  3. Drag your cursor over another object's position to swap two objects' positions.

  

  Change object order

  Sometimes an object on your board stacks on top of others, making it hard to see objects beneath it. Or an object might be hidden in the back behind other ones. Change your object's stack order to move it forward or backward on your board.

  

  Right click an object and select from the four options in the menu:

  • Bring forward: shift object forward one stack position.
  • Bring to front: shift object all the way to the front of the stack, on top of all other objects.
  • Send backward: shift object back one stack position.
  • Send to back: shift object all the way to the back of the stack, below all other objects.

  Apply colors to objects

  Once an object is selected and you would like to modify its color, you can select the Color dropdown from the toolbar:

  

  Note

  Selecting multiple objects with mixed colors and changing the color of the new selection will override any previously applied colors.

  Sticky notes

  Modifying the color of a sticky note on the board will change the default color of the Sticky note tool in the toolbar. It does not affect the color of pre-existing stickies.

  The new default color will be applied to all future sticky notes until the color is changed again.

  

  Learn more about creating and editing sticky notes →

  Shapes

  Modifying the color of a shape on the board will change the default color of the Shape tool in the toolbar. It does not affect the color of pre-existing shapes.

  Just like sticky notes, the new default color will be applied to all future shapes until the color is changed again.

  When a shape's fill property is removed, the shape border is still shown. The border color of a shape cannot be modified independently of the shape's color.

  

  Learn more about creating and editing shapes →

  Connectors

  Changing the color of a connector will change the background color of the connector text when the Text background property is applied.

  The new default color will be applied to all future connectors until the color is changed again.

  Note

  Text colors within a sticky note, shape or connector cannot be modified.

  Learn more about connectors in FigJam →

  Text

  Unlike the text in shapes, stickies and connectors, text created with the Text tool can take on different colors. However, changing the color of one text object will not apply the same styling to future text objects.

  Attempting to change the color of a substring within a text object will modify all text color in the same object. The default color for a new text object is always Charcoal.

  

  Learn more about the Text tool in FigJam →

  Drawing tools

  You can change the stroke color of the marker and highlighter tools by clicking it in the toolbar and selecting a color from the palette:

  FigJam's free beta period ended on February 1, 2022. On this day:

  • FigJam became a paid product
  • Anyone with a FigJam editor role has been reset to a viewer role
  • Starter teams now have a limit of 3 FigJam files

  Figma has two products: Figma design and FigJam. Each product has separate pricing, but you’ll be billed for both on the same invoice. Your invoice amount is determined by the number of editor seats in each product. Learn how invoices are calculated →

  Editor seats include people with an editor role in a team or organization. People can have editor roles on both Figma design and FigJam, or an editor role on just one product.

  Sam wants to participate in the Product team's critique sessions and retrospectives, but doesn't need edit access to any Figma design files in that team.

  An admin on the product design team gives them an editor role on FigJam, and a viewer-restricted role on Figma design. Sam will only be counted in the team's FigJam editor seats.

  The cost of each editor seat is determined by your plan. Plans apply to both Figma and FigJam products. You cannot have different plans for each product. Compare plans and pricing →

  If your team is on the Professional plan, Professional plan pricing applies to both FigJam and Figma design.

  2022 updates

  FigJam became a paid product on February 1, 2022. Learn how these changes affect your files and billing depending on your plan.

  Starter

  Teams on the Starter plan can continue to use FigJam for free. Starting February 1, 2022, a limit of 3 files will apply to FigJam files. This means you can have up to 3 FigJam and 3 Figma design files (with 3 pages each) in each team.

  • These changes don't impact any existing FigJam files. You can still access and edit any files your created before February 1, 2022.
  • Teams on the Starter plan can continue to use FigJam for free. There are no limits to the number of editors you can have on the Starter plan.
  • If you already have 3 FigJam files in your team, you won't be able to create any more FigJam files. Upgrade to a paid plan to unlock unlimited file creation and more →

  Draft limitations

  These limits do not apply to files in a person's drafts. Anyone can continue to edit FigJam files in their drafts without impact to plans or billing.

  Education

  People who use Figma's free education plan can continue to create and edit FigJam files at no additional cost. There are no limits to the number of files or editors you can have on the Education plan.

  If you are a qualified student or educator, you can verify your education status to gain access to this plan.

  Professional, Organization, and Enterprise

  Figma reset anyone with a FigJam editor role to a viewer role on February 1, 2022. This makes sure only the people who need to edit FigJam files are included in the first invoice after this update.

  Anyone who had can edit access before February 1, 2022 can still open any FigJam files they had access to.

  The first time you open a FigJam file after the update, Figma will prompt you to select what kind of access you still need to FigJam files. You'll only have to do this once.

  • Select I'm a viewer to continue for free with only can view access.
  • Select I'm an editor to take an editor role and continue to edit FigJam files. Figma includes anyone with a FigJam editor role in your next invoice.
