Release Notes

Rolling out this week, you can push your Make project directly to a new GitHub repository. Back up your code, track version history, and keep building in your preferred development tools. Push ongoing updates from Make to your GitHub repository whenever you make changes.

Following our recent accessibility updates on Sites, we’re introducing over 15 accessibility improvements across Figma, FigJam, Slides. This is part of our continued commitment to making Figma more accessible for everyone. Our recent improvements expand keyboard-only controls, improve screen reader reliability, and give you more ways to work.

• Canvas keyboard controls
  • Rotate objects, draw and adjust lines, and open and tab through links
  • Resize presenters notes and adjust writing tone with AI in Slides
  • Add, remove, and reorder tables in FigJam
  • Add and adjust stamps, votes, highlighter strokes, and washi tape in FigJam
  • Navigate through canvas objects like AI summaries and embedded links and videos in Figjam
  • Add, select, and adjust pencil lines in FigJam and Design
  • Add, remove, and edit ruler guides in Design and Dev Mode
  • Create and edit arcs from ellipses in Design
• Feedback keyboard controls
  • Add, move, and navigate comments and Dev Mode annotations

A more reliable screen reader experience. Screen readers now provide clearer and more consistent announcements while you’re working.

• Easier tabbing through Actions
• Richer and more detailed object descriptions
• More consistent and reliable announcements
• Clearer support for formatted text (lists, bold, italics, links)
• Toggle to receive info about canvas objects in Buzz and Slides

We're proud of the progress we’ve made, but there’s more work to do as we make design in Figma accessible to all. Check out our Shortcut post for more on our recent accessibility updates.

Starting today, customers using the Governance+ add-on can now require users to agree to specific policies before continuing to work in their organization and connect more than one identity provider to your Enterprise account and map domains to the right provider.

We've launched the ability to create FigJam diagrams directly from ChatGPT. Transform conversations, documents, and photos into jumping off points for collaboration.

Use ChatGPT to generate the following FigJam diagram types: flowcharts, gantt charts, state diagrams, and sequence diagrams.

FigJam diagrams are available to ChatGPT users on Free, Pro, and Plus Plans. Support is coming soon for ChatGPT users on Enterprise or Business plans or users in the European Union.

Figma for Government now supports the Figma desktop app, which has been assessed as part of the FedRAMP boundary in this year’s audit.

Self-updating installers

Automatically check for updates and prompt users when a new version is available:

• Mac (Apple Silicon)
• Mac (Intel)
• Windows (Intel)
• Windows (ARM)

Enterprise installers

Organizations using deployment tools will need to distribute updates manually:

• Windows MSI installer feed
• macOS PKG installer feed

Vectors are now easier to edit. The Cut tool allows you to precisely divide vector objects and shapes into separate objects.

When editing a vector, select the cut tool and either click and drag to slice an object or click on a point to split the vector.

Rolling out to Enterprise plans over the next few weeks, Organization admins can now enable or disable AI features for individual workspaces. When toggled on, AI functionality will be available in all files within that workspace.

Try the new “Copy design” feature and turn your Figma Make preview into design layers you can paste and edit in Figma Design.
