Missing the new left navbar announced at Schema 2025

Hi! During the opening keynote at Schema 2025 (on October 28), the Figma team announced a new left navbar as part of the updated UI, mentioning it would start rolling out the following week.

It’s been a few weeks since then, and I’ve already received an app update, but I still don’t see that new sidebar.

Is the rollout still in progress, or is there something I need to do to enable it? Thanks!

    Hi, ​@Michael Descharles! Thanks for your post. Just an FYI - I’ve moved it to another thread regarding the same topic as your first question.

     

    As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, we’re rolling the left sidebar of the newer UI out gradually to everyone. While I don’t have more specific info as far as a timeline goes, you will get this update once it reaches your account. Thank you for your patience!

     

    With the Check Designs feature, this is also rolling out gradually. You should see it soon, though! Also, this would also explain why some team mates might have it before you do - just mentioning that in case this is something you and your team have noticed. In the meantime, I recommend reading through the help article on Check Designs, and the Prepare your file section in particular. Prepping the file first should ensure that you can get the most out of the feature once you have access.

    Are we talking to AI-Chatbots? You realize you say the same thing over and over again with no new information?
