Figma changed the toolbar to floating over work area. Personally, I hate this… please leave my canvas free. Anyone know how to revert to old toolbar menu?? thanks

Hello @KochADV, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!


You can switch between UI2 and UI3 by following these steps:



  1. Open a design file

  2. Open the help(?) menu

  3. Switch by clicking the option:

    • UI3 > UI2: Click on “Go back to previous UI”

    • UI2 > UI3: Click on “Use new UI(beta)”





I hope this information is helpful.

Thanks again for reaching out!


Thanks for sharing this! I can now finally work in peace…


You can also stay in the new UI3 and hide the toolbar using some hidden functionalities of the Figma Desktop App:
