Hi ​@Heath Dyer, ​@Badredine Aniba, and ​@David_Galliford, thanks for following up here! 


As mentioned above, we’re still gradually rolling out the new left navbar to users. This rollout is happening at the user level (not the team or organization level), so it’s expected that people within the same team or organization may see different experiences for now. We understand this can be frustrating, but thanks for your patience while the rollout completes.
 

Regarding Slots, this feature has already been fully rolled out to all Full seat users. If you’re unable to access it, try refreshing your design file, confirming you have edit access to the file, or creating a new main component. For step-by-step guidance, you can visit:

If you’re still having trouble accessing Slots, please feel free to let me know!

Still can’t access slots. It’s been months since the launch and my colleagues are creating files I can’t work on!

Hi ​@Andrea_Avesani, thanks for letting us know! 

That definitely doesn’t sound right. Slots has already been fully rolled out to all Full seat users. Have you already tried all the recommendations I’ve given in the thread above?


Again, if you’re not seeing slots, could you double-check the following?

  • You have a Full seat on the team where the file lives
  • You have edit access to that specific file
  • You’re using Figma Design (or design mode in Figma Buzz)

If everything above looks correct, I also recommend trying to create a new main component. As a reminder, a slot can only be applied to layers nested within a main component or within variants of the same component set. Are you trying to add slots to variants or convert a frame inside a main component into a slot? 

For step-by-step guidance, you can also check out our Help Center article: Use slots to build flexible components in Figma


If after everything, you’re still having trouble; please feel free to let me know.

Hi @Takaz cao, thanks for chiming in here!
 

As mentioned above, we’re still gradually rolling out the new left navigation to users. At this time, both our forum team and direct support team aren’t able to manually grant access.

I understand the wait can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience while the rollout continues. You should receive access in a future rollout wave.
