I know there's a lot of UI3 topics, but inconsistent rollout to orgs is making things difficult on me

I know this has been talked about a lot already and the rollout is what it is, but the inconsistent rollout of UI3 in our org has been causing problems and I wanted to provide feedback about why. This isn’t a topic about how UI3 could be improved or why those of us who don’t have it are lucky, so please leave that out of it if anyone replies. It’s a nightmare of a design project and I would think more designers would be sympathetic to that.

I do a lot of Figma education programs for designers at our company and the sessions have become difficult because some people are on UI3 and others aren’t. That’s the bottom line really—the differences between old and new are significant enough that you can probably imagine why it’s causing problems. Additionally, many of the people in our org who have UI3 are in viewer seats, causing dumb situations where a designer will not have UI3 and their PM or engineers have it, which has also raised similar communication issues for us.

If it’s possible at this stage, I really think you should reconsider rolling UI3 out more evenly in teams and I’m wondering if others on org-level tiers and above have experienced similar issues.

wait until they start encountering all the bugs (*insert so many tears here)

This is still a challenging situation at our company.

You can use this Chrome extension until you get UI3 from Figma
