You’ll spend a lot of time during a workshop in FigJam. FigJam is Figma’s digital board solution. If you used Miro or something similar, you’ll have no problems using FigJam.

Since FigJam features are on par with competitors, its edge, in our case, is the easy sharing of Figma assets to FigJam and vice-versa. It makes life easier for both product strategists and designers.

FigJam has a great guide, so we won’t go into too much detail.

A few important things about the logistics of FigJam:

• Make sure that the FigJam file you’re creating is within that project or client’s folder in Figma. If you’re unsure, ping design team leads to help you out
• Re-use as many FigJam template exercises as you can → FigJam template
• Invite client team members as viewers to the file when it’s ready
• A few minutes before the workshop, turn on the Open session
• Be sure to update access privilege on a daily basis and be careful sharing an editable link with non-workshop participants or collaborators

Most important commands in FigJam

• Clicking on an avatar in the top right corner – follow that person on the board
• S – create a sticky note, the third option from the right in the toolbar
• Shift+s – create a section that you can shape, great for organizing content
• E – stamps and emoticons that you can use to quickly get feedback from participants
• cmd/ctrl + d – duplicate any element on the board
• Right-click + “Copy link to” – share a link that lands the person on a specific asset within the board
