Switch to the old Figma UI


Cristian_Banu

Hey guys,
Is there a way to switch back to the old Figma UI? The new one doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure there are people who like it, but personally, I prefer the previous Figma look and structure. I really dislike the current look and feel of the new UI, not to mention its structture, the previous version was a lot more organized and a lot cleaner and more intuitive.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello guys,

I am having a headache with the new Figma UI update. Its so not user friendly and its more difficult to work with. Is there a way to revert the current edition to the previous one?

It’s in the help button (the question mark in the bottom left. The menu contains “Go back to previous UI” I love the previous UI 😃

Maybe contact support about this, could be a bug. I doubt they took it out on purpose, at least I really hope they didn’t.

Hey @Sarah_Maddox, sorry to hear this!

@Raphael_M’s solution above is correct. What are you seeing on your end from the ? menu? Are you able to share a screenshot?

I am struggling with the same issue that has been mentioned by other users - as shown in the uploaded screenshot, I am unable to access the previous UI. The option seems to be entirely absent - has it been moved to a different place, or is it inaccessible to certain users?

Hey @19bwhite180, sorry for the confusion!

From your screenshot, you are in a Slides file. The option to go back to previous UI is only available via the ? icon when you are in a Figma Design file.

Just wanted to thank the Figma team for listening to the community regarding UI3. Initially I hated it, it was awful, I just tried it now and it doesn’t feel like I’m using an entirely different app, which was my initial feeling :)))) Not sure what was wrong with the previous one, but the new one feels good too :)
