What’s new in Figma: March 2022 | Figma Blog
Figma’s March 2022 updates focus on making Figma and FigJam more accessible, flexible, and useful across devices and global teams. Major additions include FigJam for iPad, right-to-left text support, font-independent superscript and subscript characters, and improved Slack notifications. Together, these features help users ideate anywhere, design for more languages, and keep distributed teams informed. ## FigJam for iPad - FigJam is now available on the iPad through the App Store. - Users can sketch, brainstorm, and annotate away from desktop distractions. - Work can be resumed across iPad and desktop, supporting more fluid workflows. ## Right-to-left text support - Figma and FigJam now support right-to-left writing systems. - Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and other languages can be designed and edited more naturally. - The update improves Figma’s suitability for global audiences and international products. ## Superscript and subscript in any font - Superscript and subscript characters can now be used even when the selected font lacks those glyphs. - Figma automatically creates a synthetic, or “faux,” glyph. - The glyph is resized and repositioned to match the surrounding font style. ## Slack notifications for teams - Figma’s updated Slack app helps teams track activity in shared files, teams, and projects. - Notifications can arrive in real time or as hourly and daily digests. - Teams can subscribe project files to dedicated Slack channels. - Comment and collaboration updates can be shared where teammates already coordinate work. Overall, the release recommends using Figma’s new cross-device, localization, typography, and collaboration features to make design work more accessible and connected.
