Hi Figma team,

I submitted a support case and would like to make sure this issue can be reviewed by the right team.

Support case number: 1941098

I’m on a Professional plan and I have a Full seat. My account already has the UI3 main interface enabled, as shown by the bottom floating toolbar.

However, I still don’t have access to the new left navigation bar and some recent UI3-related rollout features that other Full seat users can see.

I checked the Help menu, and there is no switch, opt-in, or “Use new UI” option available.

Could someone from Figma please help check whether my account or team has the correct rollout flags enabled?

Thank you.

    Hey ​@Ethan Xie, thanks for reaching out! 

    We're slowly rolling out the new left navigation bar to users in Figma Design. You haven't missed a setting or done anything wrong. While the rollout is in progress, it's expected for different users on the same team to see different versions of the UI.

    Here's what the new left navigation bar changes:

    • File, Assets, and Find move from the top panel area into the left navigation bar
    • Variables gets a new entry point in the left navigation bar, replacing its previous location in the properties panel
    • The left navigation bar is available in Figma Design, Draw mode, and Dev Mode

     

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to manually opt in or enable it ahead of schedule. We don’t have a timeline to share right now, but we’ll update this thread as soon as we have more to share. 

    To learn more about how the new navigation bar works, including where everything has moved, you can check out Navigating UI3 in our Help Center.

     

    I'll go ahead and close your support ticket (#1941098)out now, but don't hesitate to reply here if you have any more questions, I'm happy to help!
