Connect or embed FigJam files with Figma files

My ticket was merged with this but I meant adding a page structure to a figjam document similar to how it functions in figma.

Although tying them to figma files is also a very useful feature

Same here, I don’t think we’ll use FigJam if we can’t have a jam page in our already existing normal Figma files

Is this being considered?

PS. IMO If you land this you are going to crush MIRO, Klaxoon and other similar products! 😉

Another important point @Chris_northswiss

I think this post should be renamed to “Embed FigJam Files within Figme Files”, all the posts being merged in this one talk about having a figjam page in a normal fig file. “Connect FigJam files with Figma files” is not really it.

Thanks,

@Philippe_Leger I didn’t want to jump to solutions on this one so kept it somewhat vague. I have reworded the title to cover linking and embedding.

I’m not sure what is technically feasible or what would actually lead to the best UX, so I will leave that with the team to explore.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Would love Figjam linked more directly with an existing file! Having it as a separate page, but still inside the document would make it so much easier.

Would also like to have sticky notes in design pages, or something similar for comments. Maybe sticky notes that are pinned to the side of a frame? Something that can be seen while looking around and editing. The moment you click in an element in the file, the comment disappears.

#1 request is to FigJam right next to my wires. FigJam in a frame, or free form on the board. I use it to demo the workflow and then show the wires as I scroll the board and talk. Links in between from FigJam to frames could be beneficial for shares to stakeholders.

Embedding Figma designs in Figjam to be used as a designer->stakeholder handover/feedback/workshopping would be a absolute gaaaaaame-changer!

Often I’m using one file with multiple pages for a project. To keep things tight it would be great to Jam within the Figma file. And maybe better to avoid file separation completely.

Figjam and Figma could be the same file. The Figma toolbar and grid could be toggled via sharing options (something like share as Figjam) or the mode could be chosen by the user (depending on role ofcourse) See it like Simple (Figjam) vs Advanced (Figma) editing.

In this way users:

• Dont need to choose how to start and continue a project in another file, because there is just 1 file type
• Are not forced to use multiple files for a project and can stick to their preferred way of file organization
• Can also create/edit/iterate easily on Hi-fi user flows… starting with a flow of boxes and lines and swap them later with fully designed mockups/components, without breaking the connector lines
• Can Jam whenever needed and where needed… (think of it like an option… I need to Jam with you on this part of the design, lets call and Jam)
• There is no need anymore to buy tools like Overflow.io to keep hi res flows updated

Of course from a marketing perspective a separated Figjam project is interesting, and it provides a great amount of focus… but please better integrate it so the power of components, overrides, nesting, document organization and swapping is maintained while adding lines. This is especiallysaving a lot of time when creatingmultiple hi res user flows for a project.

+1 for everyone saying they want FigJam as a page type in a Figma file.

As a designer, I’d like to create a FigJam as a page inside my Figma project so that I don’t have to jump between two files all the time.

In deed. I’d support this as well.

BTW It might be the case that the products stay separated because in the future you would need to pay two licenses.
