Figma UI3 is a huge downgrade and they are forcing it on us. Are we even surprised?

I'm honestly furious. The new design is simply bad and they are forcing it on us. Basic tasks now take more clicks, which slows us down. The bar underneath is distracting, and I can't understand why every single thing in the panel needs a different background color or a stroke. It's visually overwhelming and makes it harder to focus and find what I need. The interface feels cluttered and inefficient. It's honestly ironic—and disappointing—that a UX/UI tool is creating such usability problems. What is this? Actions that were previously accessible at the top are now crammed awkwardly into the top of the side panel—because apparently the panel was too clean before? For some reason, position and dimensions are now separated, adding more friction to simple tasks. And then there’s the action bar... at the bottom? Seriously? We read from top to bottom. We work from top to bottom. Putting key actions at the bottom—where they overlap the workspace—goes against the most basic UX principles. It’s

UI3 is very difficult to use

I want to go back to UI1. I want to go back to the most original!The sidebar layout of UI3 and the move of the top tools to the bottom both make me very uncomfortable.Is the person who designed the figma interface a designer? Don't you know how important a larger space is to designers? Why is it annoying to have a buoy at the bottom? Just for the sake of looking good?When using figma, I mostly implement designs within web pages, so I hardly look at the top web page tags. Similarly, I also ignore the top tool navigation of figma.Now it's fine. Not only do I have no top space, but the bottom space has also been reduced.If figma were to force a change in users' habits, I would have to leave figma and use other design tools that make me comfortable.

Changes We Don't Want

Why should I continue to be a customer when you, Figma, will just do whatever you like with my workflow? Why would I trust you to do what’s best for me and my JOB when you make changes like this? When you make a tool that people rely on for their livelihoods, they really don’t like it when you fuck around with it for your shitty business reasons. Stop making it your customers problem that you feel the need to staple new bullshit into an already over stuffed tool. “You’ll get used to it” is a really shitty business model to force your your customers in to. All your telling me is I need to find an alternative ASAP so I don’t get locked into an Adobe like ecosystem and business model again. I won’t be renewing our contract with you.

Figma UI3: A Masterclass in Making Everything Worse

This new Figma UI3 is just awful. Everything looks weird and it's super confusing now. I hate it. Why did you even change anything? It was fine before. Nothing makes sense anymore. Total downgrade. Please just put it back or something. I'm literally begging. Ew. Also, if you're not going to revert it, at least give us a 'Classic UI' toggle so we can pretend everything’s still okay. Thanks, I guess.

ui3 is terrible

ui3 feels like illustrator for babies. the interface is so horrifyingly oversimplified and dumbed down that it makes microsoft paint look like feature-rich professional software. everything has been inexplicably moved around. essential features are buried so deep within cryptic menus that finding a tool feels like trying to find the minotaur at the end of a labyrinth. whose idea was it to move 90% of figma’s most useful features into this barely visible menu-thing? image depicting nonsensical ui3 design changes why was the toolbar suddenly moved to the bottom when it was stickied right at the top for at LEAST most of figma’s existence awful toolbar these design changes feel like they were made by someone who never used figma, or any design software at all, ever, beyond apple notes for ipad.

I could live with the unmoveable toolbar but "Actions" is really terrible UX to use.

I scroll through here and see many folks upset about UI3… and I guess my feelings about it overall are not as strong because I could live with the unmovable toolbar but I will say that tucking Plugins and Assets under “Actions” is a terrible user experience. Ironic… considering who uses Figma primarily are UX designers. 99% of the time I’m going into “Actions” it’s to grab a component and it’s incredibly annoying to have to click open, search, click assets, click more when it doesn’t show in the first 4 suggestions… Even using hotkeys to do this is painful. Could I just have a “Assets” button that has all my components in a scrollable little window? Please?

Is there any way that the max / min could be a fill

Hi, Is this crazy? But wondering if there was any way the max / min could be a fill so you didn't have to set to variable?

Bring back switch to old Design!

If you value the users, you should listen to your community. Someone is fine with the new design, but some people raise a strong voice that they prefer the classic one. Why you ignore them and remove the option to use the classic interface?!

Bring back switch to old interface

Dear Figma, I would kindly ask to give users control over interface. Even in Adobe I can tailor my setup. I don't need a floating bar, I would like to customize my interface and make in more like original UI. Please keep in mind Figma is a tool! not fancy game or app. Hiding some functions that was easy to access before to dropdown is very bad move.

Annotation dragging

I love the annotations feature! It would be great if I could move an annotation from one frame to another. If the note was made on the wrong screen or an earlier iteration, I’m currently just copying and pasting the text from the annotation attached to the old frame to the new annotation on a new frame. Also a keyboard shortcut to quickly tag the annotation would be handy.

Why is UI3 made everything multi steps

In UI2, when you needed to add a property to a text component there was a button for it just next to a text field, so you when you use variants the text will be easy to change.For some reason someone thought that putting that function under “Apply variables” button (with variant icon) and adding extra steps to access this function will be SO user friendly and so much better. As a software for UX designers, have you even tested it on various UX designers?When you read the amount of complains for new UI update, maybe it’s something you should consider to make your customers satisfy? At least bring back the option to bring back the old UI!

Allow for component positioning, even when instances are "simplified"

Our design system has many components that can’t be edited beyond what is available in the props list. In the past, we generally enabled the “simplify all instances” option for these types of components (things like icons, checkboxes, switches, etc.). With the latest UI, “simplify all instances” hides the alignment features within the Position section of the design panel by default, which means any designer wanting to align one of these components within their design must first un-hide additional properties. It seems to me that a component’s alignment to other components shouldn’t be an “additional property” — positioning components within a layout is the first thing we do, and doesn’t involve editing the component itself. As a result, we’ve had to disable the “simplify” option across the board to make things easier for designers. This means displaying extra layers unnecessarily.

Figma font weight too thin since UI3

With UI3, the font weight of the Figma UI is thinner than it used to be, which makes it less legible. This is particularly bad when reading lengthy comments in my files. As with all body text, I would expect a regular weight, at least in this context. Is there a way to change that in the future?

Annotations Positioning

Introducing annotations is great, they’re super helpful ✨ That said, the lack of flexibility when it comes to their positioning is quickly counter intuitive. They end up overlapping with other elements, which can make designs harder to read and manage—especially when multiple annotations are stacked in the same area. It would be incredibly helpful to be able to manually drag the annotations component to reposition it (e.g. top, bottom, left, or right of the target element), while still maintaining their link to the relevant object.

Add a quick access to Publish library

As I am publishing library quite often - I need to do it quickly. The current flow is slowing down my process. I need to go to all libraries (it shows Updates by default) I need to switch to This file and then hit the teeny-tiny button Publish. It is way too hidden for a such frequntly-used action. Make it accessible from main UI or add a shortcut.

New UI - Scale Properties - Tab Order

I use the Scale options a lot and 9 out of 10 times I know exactly what size in width or height I want to scale to. I also use Tabs a lot to navigate through options whenever possible. In the new UI when I click K and open the Scale options the first focus is on the 1x multiplayer and the Tab goes through the alignment box, it takes 20 tabs to go from the multiplayer 1x option to the Width input. In the old UI, I click K to open the Scale properties, press Tab once and enter my Width… I believe that most users will agree that the Width and Height inputs should come next after 1x in the tab order. (I am not even sure what that alignment box is supposed to do exactly , I have never used it.)

Suggestion: Allow users to customize Auto Layout default settings (e.g., Exclude Strokes, Canvas Stacking)

Hi everyone 👋 I'm a daily Figma user and really appreciate how flexible and powerful Auto Layout has become.That said, there are still a few small but recurring pain points in my workflow that I believe many other users may also be experiencing — especially when it comes to Auto Layout default settings. Currently, certain Auto Layout options like Exclude strokes and Canvas stacking are always turned on or off by default. While this might suit some use cases, it can feel counterintuitive or inefficient in others. 1. Exclude strokes — A repeated manual step that can lead to dev/design misalignment Every time I apply Auto Layout, I find myself manually disabling "Include strokes."In web development environments, it's common to build layouts using border for visual separation — not stroke.Because of this, including strokes in padding calculations can often result in misaligned spacing between design and front-end implementation. If designers could set "Exclude strokes" as a default, it wo

SUGGESTION: Allow AI organization of more than sticky notes in Figjam

This suggestion is the result of a random gripe in Figjam, but i don’t always like using stickies in figjam as they are big and bulky and have limited style options. i love the AI sorting features for things like card sorting, but this is only possible with stickies. I’d much prefer to use the rectangles and other shapes to group things like fields in a complex profile. they’re smaller and less annoying to resize and rearrange. this makes it easier to export snapshots to send to stakeholders, as let’s be real - many normal business folks just don’t understand how to navigate horizontal scrolling or infinite canvases. the sorting works great, just don’t force sticky notes. or give us more freedom to style and resize stickies. The rectangles on the left are smaller and easier to style than the stickies.

Can't we default search "all libraries" – I have to click this option CONSTANTLY

I spend a lot of time clicking "search all libraries" when there are zero results to a component search, such as when swapping an instance. Can we default to searching all libraries if there are zero results, and just note that there are zero results in the highlighted library (I’m not even sure which library is being searched or why that one is being searched instead of the others, by the way, so that’s a UX issue).

When i paste to replace in autolayout, it should stay in the same order

Every time i go to paste replace a section of my website instead of pasting exactly where i want, it puts it at the bottom of the autolayout stack. Figma can you fix this?

New Permissions Don't show Difference betwene View (1 file) and View (team projects)

In the old permissions, you can the ability to see if a person had view permissions for a specific file, now you cannot. I would go through and proactively invite people who had a single file permission to the team so that we don’t have to piecemeal provide permissions. With the new permissions wether a person has access to view a single file, or all the files on the team, they have a “View” seat type. I need a way to see who is only viewing a file vs viewing all things on the team.
