Hello, I would like to change the view. Currently, the editing toolbar is located centrally at the bottom of the screen. Previously, this toolbar was located at the top left. In the old view, the options such as “Create Component” etc. were also at the top center. How can I switch back to that view? I am still learning from older YouTube videos, which is why the new view is a bit confusing for me. Thank you!

Hey All,

With the rollout of UI3 to 100% of users today, the capability to Go back to the previous UI has been added for all users.

Be sure to refresh your tabs to ensure you see the option. A good rule of thumb if you already had UI3 beta access, your panels will revert from floating to fixed.

Then, from within a Figma file, click the ? Help icon in the lower, right-hand corner > Go back to previous UI.

I agree about the floating panels, I find that the margins on their outer side is distracting for the eye compared to panels that go all the way to the edge.

I’d just like to add that I’ve been monitoring this topic for several months on Reddit. To date out of the hundreds of comments I’ve read about the the UI there hasn’t been not even one person who has anything good to say about it. In fact it’s been very disruptive for so many people.

Honestly Figma, what the hell are you doing? Your customer base is telling you clearly you’ve made a mistake and need to unbreak what was not broken. Thet was zero reason to “fix” it.

I’ve been in the industry for over 25 years. I’m telling you if a new tool comes along that is better than Figma and if you continue not to listen to your customer base your customers are going to jump ship and you will be redundant.

Thank you so much, I worked with the new UI for a day and I had to spend double the time I usually do for the same amount of work…

The new UI3, this concept of hover overside bars is not at all user friendly for neurodivergent users. The little view of the back with rounded corner siderbar). It triggers OCD, and problems for users with aphasia, lazy eyes and wandering eyes. Its a poorly thought out design design decision and trend followed by a lot of platforms insensitive to users with comprehension issues as well.
