Anonymous Voting & Stickies

Frequently, when facilitating a workshop in FigJam, it is necessary to gather open and honest feedback from attendees, such as during a retrospective/health check. In other tools, such as Miro, it is possible for people to provide opinions and vote on topics anonymously. Anonymity really helps to get people to express themselves and thus get the most constructive engagement. Having moved from Miro to FigJam the lack of this feature has proven really problematic and decreases the value we can get from the tool.

There are some plug-ins that provide a limited version of this, however they require manually selecting each instance of the plug-in and selecting to reveal results, which is really inefficient and often for my purposes, unworkable as a solution.

Hey @Thomas_Herrington-Trueman, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this onto the FigJam team for future consideration.

I’m looking for this feature too. We have to use a different app for anon voting.

I think this is really needed, especially for retros. And you might need to mask cursor identity for this to work as well.

Specifically, I wish there was a way to disable multiplayer cursors for everyone and also entirely disable signatures on stickies, probably on a file-by-file basis. Right now, we ask all participants to turn off Multiplayer Cursor and also turn off signatures on stickies, but anyone can turn on multiplayer cursors or toggle the signatures to reveal identities.
