I have updated Figma a while ago and I still can’t see the new left panel navigation. My colleague in the same organization does have it working. I have reinstalled, reloaded, tried in the browser and I do not see this feature anywhere.

See screenshot for version number and missing left menu.

It’s still rolling out, not everyone has it yet (and there is no exact date when it will appear either)

That is very strange, it was mentioned in the release notes early January as part of the released software with no mention of a rolling release. I have access to other features after that it seems, like the rasterize feature and the new tab navigation.

Hey ​@MarjoleinKl, I totally understand the confusion here!

Thank you ​@Nellya for jumping in to help! We’re slowly rolling out the new navigation bar to users in Figma Design. While we’re rolling this out, users might see different versions of the Figma UI until we’ve fully rolled out the new navigation bar!

 

Appreciate your patience while it makes its way to your account!

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.

Is there any update, when the new layout will be available for all users? It is really annoying, that members of the same team have to work with different layouts and different possibilities.

Hey, totally hear you both! 

I don’t have a new timeline to share just yet, but I’ve passed along your feedback about the inconsistency to the team. This is still being slowly rolled out, so it’s expected that some users may see different versions of the UI until the rollout is complete.!-->

Really appreciate your patience in the meantime!
