In September 2022, Adobe announced it would be acquiring Figma for $20 billion, although the deal has faced a number of regulatory hurdles including an investigation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the European Commission.“Figma’s web-based, multiplayer platform can accelerate the delivery of Adobe’s Creative Cloud technologies on the web, making the creative process accessible to more people,” said David Wadhwani, Adobe executive vice president and chief business officer for digital media, when the deal was announced. “We want to set ourselves apart from the bullets and blankness of a paper document.” Adobe's $20B planned acquisition of Figma under scrutiny “We're really trying to look for ways we make a little bit more human,” Latimer said. Thankfully, Sections has Figma components that are easy to use and customize. Although Sketch symbols can be imported into Figma, sometimes, it’s smoother to just use a wireframe kit made specifically for a particular tool.

Anyone in the file can set or change a music track. Sketch is a really popular wireframing tool, but Figma’s got its own set of wild fans. The same track will play for everyone in the file but users can control their own music volume and can mute it for themselves. Users will be able to choose from a selection of preset music tracks that will play for a set period of time while they are working on a file. Companies will also be able to set their brand colors as the default for files to make spaces that are more personalized. With its latest round of platform updates, FigJam has sought to push this element of fun even further by giving users the ability to use team face stamps to attribute and assign objects to team members and use emojis to react to other people’s ideas. The other new features were born out of the driving principles behind FigJam - the company’s strong emphasis on fun and playfulness. Users will also be able to turn ideas captured on stickies into Productboard notes via a new widget. Meanwhile, new integrations with products from UserTesting, a maker of customer-feedback software, and Productboard, a creator of collaboration applications, aim to allow organizations to bring their conversations in those products directly into FigJam. New custom templates are designed to make it easier to recycle and create templates that anyone in an organization can use, allowing teams to standardize the way they work. Templates, integrations streamline workflow Latimer says the company wanted to focus on improving efficiency and enabling teams to stay more aligned from the first idea to final delivery.

“It becomes this space where people are able to have conversations, work together and have a common ground for collaboration throughout the product development process.” “We really see as this conversation canvas, a space where it's not just brainstorming or diagramming happening, but where teams define ideas, align on decisions and then move plans forward, all together in one place,” she said.
