When creating hand-off documents I like to showcase user flows by using arrows between different UI elements. I have to use plugins to create these arrows at the moment. When playing with Figjam I notice it had a connector option - this is great. I would love it if we could also have this connector option inside Figma as it would be a HUGE timesaver for hand-off.

I would like to think this would be a super easy update given that we can already edit connectors inside Figma. We just need a connector button in the toolbar like so:

Named sections in Figma would be great for organizing related screens or a flow within a page. Zooming in and out would allow you to see the section name regardless of the zoom level.

Yeah this works, it sucks you can’t put a connector line in a frame to make it a library component. That would be almost as good as having it native to regular figma.

It’s a useful tools to show the connection between screens and elements and it should be created directly in Fig Design. Waiting to use it soon on next releases 🙃

I’m hoping they bake this in ASAP to Figma so we don’t have to copy from Figjam. And the thing is the connectors behave so, so hacky and downright goofy. Not being able to just drop a completely connector around independently drives me nuts. In my company we have to design the exact same flows for two brands and if I could just copy/paste and drag the exact same connector lines to the respective brand flows… my productivity could go so much further.
