I can’t say for all designers, but I have a pattern when I’m going to start a new design project which consists of splitting my design process and documentation into two fronts: one in a Figma file where all my UI work lies, and the other in a FigJam file which tells more about the business rules, brainstorms, workshops, text documentation, personas studies, diagrams, etc.
Well, since both those files complete each other as one thing, I usually work by switching the Figma tabs between those two. Why don’t we have a feature where we can “see” a piece of a FigJam workspace inside a Figma file to avoid situations like this: To avoid constantly switching tabs to check a value canvas which lies in the FigJam file, I copied and pasted it into Figma. If I make any changes to it while I’m thinking, I need to remember to replace it in the FigJam file too. The need to look at both files arises because the information from both needs to be in the same field of view.
