Missing the new left navbar announced at Schema 2025

Hi! I don’t have it too at the moment. Still waiting...

Is it still rolling out ​@Celine_ ? I’m the only person in my immediate team without it now.

Hi @Iain M Norman, thanks for checking in.

I totally get how that can be confusing when others on your team have it and you don’t.
We're slowly rolling out the new left navigation bar to users in Figma Design. We don’t have a timeline to share right now, but we’ll update this thread as soon as we have more to share. Thanks for your understanding!

Totally understandable ​@Celine_ , thanks for updating us. After that it’ll be the wait for slots, which is going to be a total game changer for me.

I have updated Figma a while ago and I still can’t see the new left panel navigation. My colleague in the same organization does have it working. I have reinstalled, reloaded, tried in the browser and I do not see this feature anywhere.

See screenshot for version number and missing left menu.

 

It’s still rolling out, not everyone has it yet (and there is no exact date when it will appear either)

That is very strange, it was mentioned in the release notes early January as part of the released software with no mention of a rolling release. I have access to other features after that it seems, like the rasterize feature and the new tab navigation.

Hey ​@MarjoleinKl, I totally understand the confusion here!

Thank you ​@Nellya for jumping in to help! We’re slowly rolling out the new navigation bar to users in Figma Design. While we’re rolling this out, users might see different versions of the Figma UI until we’ve fully rolled out the new navigation bar!

Appreciate your patience while it makes its way to your account!

I still don’t have the sidebar, although it rolled out to my teammates about six weeks ago.
It feels like Figma is becoming slower and more unstable as it shifts toward AI coding and vector design features instead of focusing on UI and design system workflows.
