Connect or embed FigJam files with Figma files

Another nice addition would be to connect your FigJam files with related Figma files. So as not to rely on file naming. Creating links between the two would allow for easier navigation and discovery from others in the team.

Big +1 to being able to embed Figma designs into FigJam.

That’d be a great way to enable focused feedback / reactions / workshopping in a more approachable way (and without modifying the main design file). This could simply be a matter of enabling embeds in FigJam and using the existing embed functionality in Figma.

I feel like this would be a nice addition if we could add the figjam to the pages panel. I currently do a lot of my research in Miro and will add links but those can be overlooked by collaborators. Would be nice to name a page “research” and have it open a Figjam file.

As a designer, I’m often in my figma file working on something - and realize I need to step back and do higher level visual thinking where FigJam is the better tool. ie: I realize I’m making too many assumptions, and I should think through the users journey or flow better. I want to be able to just + create fig jam → opens up a related fig jam file → do my diagraming/workflowing → and then it embeds a widget/preview of that file in the original figma file so that I can easily hop back into the fig jam file for reference later.

It’s conceptually like creating a new Dropbox paper document by typing “+document title”. Links ideas, thinking, between documents.

FigJam boards are a great environment to collect research and brainstorm with peers. However, we lose all that convenience and content when we need to create a Figma file to begin the work.

FigJam boards about be a page option in Figma files, so that you can keep all the relevant and arguably most important project information in the same place you will be designing in, not in a separate document.

  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

I find it a bit distracting to navigates between a design page and a figjam page that belongs to the same project. It’ll be great if users can add figjam pages in design pages… that way, everything from Discivery to Prototyping can be found in a single document …. Consolidated.

  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

  2. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.
    Does anyone find it disorienting when you have to look for assets (design file and whiteboard file) belonging to a single project in multiple locations?

    I use FigJam sometimes, but it is not well integrated with design files. i need to use link to direct me to figjams…what if FigJam could be a page in design files?

We want to use FigJam for our project.
FigJam is a powerful feature for designers and PMs.
But, it is not good to use because there is no function of Inspect for developers to use.
And since Figma Design File and FigJam are separated, they cannot be managed in one space.
The basic functions found in Figma Design File are also required by FigJam.

We need this feature.

  • Ability to add FigJam to Figma Design Page
  • Inspect function to see information and values of Component or Instance
