UI3 Feedback

Just want to echo all the sentiment in here. Every time I try to use Ui3 - I just end up asking myself why I am bothering. It makes almost everything I do harder to achieve. I think sentiment in here is almost unanimous - this redesign is “fixing” problems that don’t exist.

The effort could be better deployed on some of the long standing issues on the feedback forum that would actually add to Figma rather than just change it

Blimey - it’s like reading a software manual from the 90’s. Painful. My team need to get on with client work - not re-learn Figma (for no benefit to our clients.)

Stop redesigning the UI and start fixing bugs.

It’s like you took an industry standard tool that was working well and messed with it because you had budget to spend and needed an excuse to spend it. Let’s make the view/working area smaller by detaching things from the edges! Let’s move the major tools to a location that’s always going to be in the way!

The only thing I can say, is thank’s for offering a way to revert to the old UI which works well and efficient and is in no need of improvement.

I hope they don’t take out UI2 when they release UI3. Although that’s probably what’s gonna happen.

Apparently there is a rollback option, click on the little question mark in the bottom right corner to revert.

I didn’t realize there was a way to revert. Thank god! My workflow has been so slow today!

I’m sure I will get used to it, but changing the UI seems useless so far, and is just slowing down my workflow. All the same tools are there, but now they are harder to find or simply not where they were. So on top of my work, now I am searching for tools and having to re-learn the icons and sections. I think it’s a great UI, but for a new software. Why would you “fix” something that was already working? Every time you change a UI please remember how many designers you are disrupting.

Hi Figma team, appreciate that you guys listened and made some improvements to reverting some of the designs in UI3. I’m still sticking to UI2 for now but if you want to continue to enhance the user experience for us, I would very much appreciate a bigger text area. It was already quite small to work with in the old UI, the update makes it even smaller. I can only see half as much content and am forced to scroll within a teeny tiny box to edit my text 🫠 Thank you again for considering this.

Can you also make the layers scrollable horizontally please? All the indentation from nesting puts critical info in hiding (cropped off on the right side). I find myself constantly dragging the layers section wider to view them, and dragging it back after so I can have more space to work with in the main area.
