Hello!

At our workplace the rightside panel that allows you to see the design options is missing from all Figjam docs, old and new. It shows up in slides, but disappears when viewing as a grid. We have tried show/hide UI and are using the desktop app. Is this a new update or a glitch? we miss the sidebar and would like it back :(

Hi @Rachel Olson, thanks for reaching out!


I completely understand how this may be a bit confusing, because most of our tools do have sidebars, but FigJam hasn’t included any static side panels on either the left or right. Its layout has always featured only the bottom FigJam toolbar.


Each FigJam file is made up of three main areas: the board, the FigJam toolbar, and the main tools and objects bar.
