FigJam connectors in Figma

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:

    I just stopped creating flows in Figma because it is such a pain. Instead I just have to verbally explain this during handoff. I know FigJam is a better tool for diagrams, but honestly I have no time to copy and paste screens (plus more maintaining with two separate files).

    Just as there is Design/Prototype/Inspect mode, I wish there would be a Diagramming mode, so arrows could be “toggled” on/off

      I was just about to write a suggestion on the same topic, but found this thread. Seems like a no-brainer to add this into figma as well, it would be EXTREMELY helpful while working with large user flows in a team setting. Manually drawing lines for this purpose is really finicky.

      We can’t create component using FigmaJam connectors on Figma file either

        I know you can copy and paste Connectors from Figjam, but what about something like that?

          Agree, very useful, just add it as a type of shape.

          Hey @Nikita33,

          We launched sections for Figma today! 🎉

          We’re going to edit & merge your topic to ensure the team still gets your feedback regarding connectors & arrows.

            @dvaliao Thank you, I love it! I did find one bug in setting x/y values of a section where it doesn’t move the contents (dragging the section works).
