Here’s how to go back to the old UI. kzbin.infojiI_4mOjJ-I?feature=shared

[@upworkobserver]

You're absolutely right, figma should take it serious.

[@duffs021]

I’ve just found your channel, because I was searching something about scrolling interactions, and I loved your content. Thank you for showing your perspective on the new Figma UI. 🙌

[@MrMonkey0016]

You are right bro, handing off project files to clients who don’t really know how to use figma is already difficult, then being myself confused about the pages section is a whole different hassle I didn’t expect!

[@AMDesignAndDev]

I missed pointing out where the constraints are in the new Figma UI: kzbin.infoH8TwXD7R_Go?feature=share Check it out!

[@sumberdanadesign7588]

You always amazing, thank you!

[@petermichael604]

thankyou sir for the tips!! brw more uploads about Framer , cheers from the philipiines! 💯💯💯

[@suniljadhav1889]

Nice explanation....Thanx

I've only used this new version for 3+ hours thus far, but still having a hard time adapting. I really hate the tool bar at the bottom -- if it was movable, it would make life much easier. Also having issues with ALL the reduced tap areas (lots of accidental clicks!). I'm betting that Figma will eventually take the route Adobe has with 'views' -- UI layouts optimized for whatever type of task a user is focused on.

[@AMDesignAndDev]

I feel you, ts just horrible!

[@MunzirKareem]

Thanks, brother, for this critical analysis.

[@angrybearduk]

"The problem with fanboys is that if Apple, Google or Figma make a mistake, fanboys try to justify it." Man... respect! True words of wisdom! I couldn't agree more with this statement.

[@AntanasGeguzinskas]

Where is "Constrains" i have no see on new Figma UI :(

Actually, it's "CleanShot X"

[@BugarskiMarko]

Can we choose not to have this UI? please...

[@psddesignernet]

I got the new ui today, my next 6 hour after that was an absolute nightmare

[@AMDesignAndDev]

I feel ya!

[@jakseen]

even the transition animations are clunky, almost like they were done by a junior developer. the more they try to fix it, the more it would look and function like ui2.

[@jakseen]

got my hands on the new ui today. all I can say is: the stable ui2 is wayyy better than the beta ui3. honestly, I don’t think figma hires seasoned product designers and ux testers. either that or the release was rushed ahead of config.

[@breality7411]

The accessibility is insanely bad in the new one with smaller tap targets and context for tools being moved to weird places... Very good analysis!

[@AMDesignAndDev]

Thank you, and it is truly horrible.

[@cirkulyaciya]

When they ship new UI?

[@AMDesignAndDev]

They're shipping it over time. Press CMD+K and search for UI, and sign up for it.

[@suyashhandke]

This ui upgrade is a downgrade for Real 😢

[@rjabrm]

hate that UI3 ..

[@GustavKnuttsen]

floating the navbar on the bottom is a bad design decision as you design from top to bottom these days, for mobile and web 90% of the time. So it is bad decision, it UX 101..

[@bruhmoment3731]

The UI is pissing me off so much. Who the hell approved this???

[@nobody-bt7mu]

I also don't like it... Great review still.

[@Softgears]

the new interface is a complete disappointment, very inconvenient, return the old mode
