Real-time Collaboration
Imagine you bring in 2-10 designers, solving the same problem with a 10 minutes deadline. What you’ll notice is that after a few minutes, some might be blocked. At that point, they will look at others and duplicate the work to branch out and start from others ideas. That’s a powerful way to solve problems.
Sharing
Since Figma is web-based you can share your design/prototype with a link or inviting a specific person via email. This can be useful when you want to share your designs with clients or stakeholders to get feedback or to show the progress you've been making!
Handoffs
Figma offers you the ability to invite developers. Inviting them with a "Can View" access shows all the essential options that a developer needs such as specs, Android, iOS, and CSS properties, to view prototypes and the options to export necessary assets.
Live Embeds
You can share Live Embeds by simply going to the Share button and clicking on Public embed. Before doing that, it’s important to allow public access to your file. If done right, it’s going to give you an iFrame HTML code that can be pasted into your Website or even on platforms such as Slack.
Comments
Comments in Figma enable designers to have real-time collaboration right in the design file. Comments can be used to give feedback and respond to said feedback. This makes iteration and editing based on the feedback way more easier.
Viewing Comments
To enter comment mode in Figma, simply click the 'Add/Show Comments' ( C on keyboard ) option in the toolbar. Once you click on the 'Add/Show Comments' option, you'll be able to see the comments, both on the canvas and in the Properties panel.
- The comments on the Canvas appear where they've been added. You can reply by clicking on the 'pin' icon and then typing out your response
- The Properties panel will contain a list of all the comments. Click on a particular comment to see where it is on the canvas
Resolve Comments
When a comment has been taken into consideration or when the changes have been made according to the feedback, you can remove a comment by clicking on the comment in the canvas and then on the checkmark on the right. This will delete the comment from both the canvas as well as the Properties panel.
Filter Comments
Figma gives its users the ability to directly mention a person by their name. Due to the addition of this, you can filter comments based on whether you'd like to see all the comments or whether you'd prefer the comments that mention you. You can apply the filter in the Properties panel.
Link Sharing
- You can access the link sharing settings via the 'Share' button on the toolbar
- Once you click on the button, a modal containing all the settings opens up
Link Sharing Settings
Let's go through all the settings that are available to us.
- A user can directly invite a person by entering their information in the input field at the top
- The next option allows you to choose if you'd like anyone with the link to view the design file or just the people whom you've sent an invite to can view it
- Both of the above options allow you to decide whether you'd like to give editing access or if you'd prefer them to simply preview the file instead
Sharing the URL
You can also copy and share the link via the modal.
- Click on the 'Copy link' option at the bottom of the modal. This copies the link to the clipboard
- Click 'Get embed code' to view the embed code. This opens up a modal that contains the code. Click the Copy button to copy the code to the clipboard
- Lastly, you can directly link a selected frame by simply checking the 'Link to selected frame' option
Conclusion
Figma has taken design collaboration to the next level with these features, making it easy for teams to collaborate and work with designers and engineers worldwide without worrying about having them in-person for feedback or other collaborative processes.
