10 Pro tips to get the most out of FigJam

It's about time I admitted it... FigJam is my favorite. I spend SO much time in FigJam... If I can use it in any form of work, I will. So I'm covering ten tips (from a self-proclaimed FigJam pro) for how you can get the most out of this super helpful and visual tool!

That's for the tips Charli! I am trying to get my team to think visually like I do and will definitely be employing some of your tips and tricks to help me along the way.
As usual, great editing!

[@gmpoitras]

Thank you!!! I love this, I think I'll try it for my next team meeting :) I do run brainstorms in FigJam a lot, but I like the idea of using it for meetings.

[@lakicia30]

thank you for the tips. I'm in a UI/UX course and the most challenging part (in a good way) has been the new tools I have to learn. Knowing now that I can use figjam in my meetings, I'll start doing this at work- in a completely unrelated field- just to get some practice in figjam, to help me in my quest to as a new designer.

[@srikkanth-tech]

Hi love your way of presentation. I will purchase the scribbles library. One request, could you post some sample jamboards using the scribbles? It will be a great inspiration to start with figjam.

[@carlacabeca7444]

Hi Charli :) Will you do a videos about the new Figma features? We need it ahah
Thanks for all your amazing content 🙏

[@HardikArya-je2ry]

I love that you can add any type off link do thank you spool much

[@srikkanth-tech]

Figma is not accepting payments from India. Is it possible to host the file in any other portals like behance?

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Considering the price how would you compare figjam to miro?

[@AkshayMudakavi]
