Missing the new left navbar announced at Schema 2025

Any update on the left sidebar? It’s been three months and it still hasn’t been rolled out. When will there be an estimated timeline for when it will be available to all users?

It was billed as Jan update IIRC. Clearly it’s taking longer.

I have it now on two old accounts from previous employers, but not my current account.

It’ll come in time I’m sure. Everyone else in the team got it back in Jan. Mine’s the newest account. Wonder if my lack of usage on this new account puts me to the back of the queue?

But I have had the new Make embed feature already.

Who knows...

Yeah, this roll out has been terribly inconsistent. I have team members in the same organisation who have the new layout, yet I don’t. 

I’ve been waiting 2 months now. I’ve sent support requests and get the same generic feedback.

Same here, still don’t have it on one of my accounts either. It’s a bit confusing seeing teammates already using the new layout while mine looks the same in Figma 😅

Guess it’s just part of the gradual rollout, but yeah… the wait is real.

My Co-worker has the new left sidebar on her personal account. We’re still waiting at the office. This sucks very hard that we have to use two workflows! Hopefully it will update fast.

How slowely is slow. It is f*cking slow.

Does anyone have an update yet? I’ve been waiting for about three months. It’s weird that we already have slots, but it’s taking three months for this to be fully rolled out… maybe they should spend less time on all those AI features?

Hi, it’s me again.. I see the conversation has been marked as ‘solved’, but it’s not solved at all!!!! This is really taking far, far too long. It’s a real shame, Figma!! It just goes to show where the focus lies: on all the AI stuff and not on people!!!!! I think this is absolutely outrageous. I’m going to look into alternatives to Figma. Does anyone know of a good replacement?

Hi ​@FelaNova, thanks for following up!  

I hear your frustration, and I’m sorry this has taken longer than expected.
 

Just to clarify, the updated navbar is still in the process of being rolled out gradually. This is intentional, so the team can closely monitor performance and avoid any disruptions as more users gain access.

Because of that, not all accounts receive it at the same time. I also want to acknowledge your point about the thread being marked as solved. I understand how that could feel confusing given you’re still waiting, but the Community team only marked that previous post as the best answer to pin the latest update from our team to make it clear to all users in this thread that the navbar is still being rolled out. 

We appreciate your patience here, and I’ll share your feedback with the team. While I don’t have a specific timeline to offer, the rollout is ongoing and you should see it become available to your account in a future wave.

Sitting in the same boat as all you guys. Got Slots, but no new UI, but my jr. designer does and has for quite some time.
