Stickies name labels should have the option to turn off

Dimitri_Hadjichristou

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into?

  • Post-Its by default display the creator’s name, which is useful but you should have the ability to turn this off for workshop purposes as a key workshop principle is to keep things anonymous i.e. when we do a post-it session asking everyone to say what’s wrong with something they are more honest because no-one knows who wrote what.

2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps?

3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.

cln.sh

4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both?

  • Both

5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?
Chrome

@Dimitri_Hadjichristou You can do that - look at the last option in the bar where you can change font or color.
It even remembers your choice for the next sticky

I know this is an old thread, but it re-surfaced when I was trying to find details about providing truly anonymous stickies in Figma/FigJam for workshops, retrospectives, etc.

The issue with the current functionality is that it is NOT providing anonymous authoring. You can turn the attribution off, which looks like anonymity, except that you can just toggle the name field back on and see who last edited the note.

Agree! Here’s what happens with the signature feature:

  1. When I work on my own to create a board, I wish signature was hidden by default, to avoid information that is not relevant at that moment and competes with my content.
  2. When I run a collaborative session, I wish I could manage this setting for everyone in the FigJam (or have it hidden by default) so I can create that psychological safety during a session.
  3. This is not truly anonymous, so participants may have a feeling of anonymity when in reality names are being captured and exposed later making them feel betrayed.

My team’s got the same concerns about anonymity in FigJam. We’re switching from Mural to FigJam right now and the biggest complaint I hear is that Mural had an anonymous mode and FigJam doesn’t.

To try and help give my team’s researchers and scrum masters a way to get feedback with some semblance of anonymity I stumbled my way through creating a FigJam widget that lets folks type feedback privately (I have users that don’t like being watched while typing) and then posted it onto the board as a square with text (so it doesn’t tie back to the user’s ID). I thought I’d share in case anyone else finds it a helpful step in the right direction: https://www.figma.com/community/widget/1407466423563652165.
