With Miro, we are able to copy cells from a google sheet/excel, then paste them into Miro where each cell becomes an individual sticky note with respective colors applied.

This is great for transcription and affinity diagramming during research.

I’d LOVE to see this in FigJam 🙂

It would appear this coincided when FigJam introduced the Tables functionality within FigJam back in March. Tables in FigJam is cool, but breaking this essential csv==>stickie feels odd

Hey @Richard.Nichol,

Yes, that is correct. The FigJam team is already aware, and we’ll continue to pass along your feedback and desire to have it back.

In the meantime, the best workaround is using the plugin:

UPDATE

Hi all, we heard you!
Our team had seen your feedback that you would still love the option to paste spreadsheet data as FigJam tables or stickies.
Now, you can use the quick actions menu to convert pasted data to stickies with Cmd or Ctrl +.

Steps:

Paste items from CSV or Google Sheet (places items into a table)
Select all items in table
Type “Cmd + /” and search for the word “sticky”
Select “Convert to Stickies”

I appreciate y’all fixing this, however the directions above were not super clear.

Here’s the steps I used to convert the table to stickies:

Paste items from CSV or Google Sheet (places items into a table)
Select all items in table
Type “Cmd + /” and search for the word “sticky”
Select “Convert to Stickies”

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the details @Victor_Kernes1 ! I added your workflow for more clearance, and I also added a video screenshot to make it clearer. 😀

following those steps. But finally worked out that I have to select every table cell before ‘convert to stickies’ is an option. Is there a quick way to select all table cells?
