Figma has introduced a new, more approachable and ergonomic interface known as UI3. This redesign aims to enhance workflow consistency and ease of use across Figma products. The new UI is currently in a limited beta, and users can sign up for the waitlist through the Figma product or using quick actions.
Improved User Experience
The UI3 update includes several key changes and improvements:
Streamlined Navigation
The navigation has been streamlined, making it easier for users to find and access the tools and features they need. The toolbar has been reorganized, and the menu structure has been simplified.
Enhanced Accessibility
The new UI has been designed with accessibility in mind, with improved keyboard shortcuts and support for screen readers. This makes Figma more inclusive and easier to use for users with disabilities.
Responsive Design
The UI3 interface is designed to be responsive, adapting seamlessly to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures a consistent and optimized experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms.
Iterative Improvements
Figma has stated that the UI3 update is the first step in an ongoing process of iterative improvements and refinements. They will continue to gather feedback from users and make further enhancements based on that feedback.
