Figma's latest interface, UI3, reimagines the user experience by minimizing distractions and placing work at the center stage. Significant changes include fixed but resizable docked panels, the introduction of Minimize UI for distraction-free work, and a revamped properties panel with reorganized features. The update has been guided by extensive user feedback, the design team's vision, and real-world testing during the open beta phase. Users can opt-out of UI3 during the beta to adapt at their own pace, with the full rollout planned for October 10.
