It’s prototyping day!

We’re excited to announce that interactive components are now available for everyone to use. Plus, we have some other updates to make your prototyping life easier.

Read about the updates on our blog: bit.ly/PrototypingUpd…

👇
1/ We’ve added a shortcut to toggle between the design and prototyping tabs.

Speed up your workflow by using Shift + E to easily navigate between the tabs in Figma.
2/ We’ve also made updates to copy and paste interactions for prototyping.

You can now copy prototype interactions and paste them into frames, reducing the amount of repetitive work involved with building prototypes.
3/ You can now hide inherited interactions.

We’re making prototypes easier to understand at first glance by hiding interactions “inherited” from main components.

But don’t worry, you can still see the details by selecting an object to view all associated interactions.
4/ You can now show interactions in view only mode.

Another noodle related update - file viewers are now able to see and explore interactions on the canvas to better understand the design functionality without clicking through frames.

As part of today's prototyping launch, we’re excited to announce that interactive components are available to everyone. 🥳

During the beta, we were blown away by what our community created.

Interested in getting started? Check out these examples for inspiration…
1/ Try using interactive components to create UI microinteractions at scale. @abelfhancock has made it easy for you to get started.

Duplicate the Figma community file: bit.ly/3m5aAqM
2/ Create your own pixel art in Figma using interactive components.

Choose between two themes: Figma and Retro to create the pixel art of your dreams.

1/ Hi, I’m Tom, aka @negativespaceca👋

At Figma we love talking about design systems and hearing about people’s library structures and how they're improving over time.

We love it so much that we’re dedicating a whole day to it. Plus we have a really exciting announcement…👇
2/ I’m excited to introduce #Schema2021– Figma’s first design systems conference.

Design systems people– join us for a day of virtual sessions led by top design systems leaders from @Atlassian, @lyftdesignteam, and @netflix to name a few.
Apply to attend: bit.ly/Schema2021
3/You may be wondering, why a design systems conference?

Back when I was first introduced to design systems, there was a lot to be desired.

Everything was static and linear and PDF style guides were the norm. Plus workflows were siloed, making alignment challenging.

Level up your skills in Figma with some of our favorite community files and plugins inspired by video games. #NationalVideoGameDay

Level 1: Medals Design System🏅
Download the community file by @RyanYu0527 for access to components to use in your own work. bit.ly/3A5lOjy
Level 2: Virtual Escape Room 🕵️‍♀️

Use components and instances to find clues hidden around the house to lead you to the end of this virtual escape room created by @pigeonerTM.

Grab some friends and play: bit.ly/38Yt8la
Level 3: Protoyping 🎮

Prototyping in Figma with a keyboard or gamepad is great for making TV and game-based interactive prototypes.

It's also important when thinking about designing for mobility and dexterity-limited accessibility.

1/ Let's get organized. ✨

We've rounded up some of our favorite plugins for tidying up your Figma files.

Here's the collection, created by @rogie bit.ly/3y4K1Vk

👇
2/ First up, Figma Measure, created by @phlp_ and @crlhsr.

This plugin provides on-canvas documentation to show customizable redlines for heights and widths.

You can also add tooltips for font details, fill colors, border radius, and more. bit.ly/FigmaMeasure
3/ Downsize, created by @alexeinars, allows you to compress images right on the canvas, reducing the file size and load time to increase performance.

1/30 First up: a redesigned stroke panel for easier customization of vector objects.

Now you can:
→ Adjust end caps to easily create arrows
→ Fine-tune the stroke properties of connectors copied and pasted from FigJam
2/30 Bigger? Smaller? Left? Right? You can now use math operations to adjust properties with a mixed value.
