Figma updates FigJam with offline-first editing and threaded audio notes

Design · 3 min read

The FigJam update makes sessions resilient to spotty network conditions—users can continue adding sticky notes, sketches and comments offline and sync changes once they reconnect. Conflict resolution is handled by an intent-based merge engine that surfaces ambiguous edits for manual reconciliation.

Threaded audio notes let participants leave short voice clips attached to specific objects; replies can be audio or text, enabling richer asynchronous brainstorming. FigJam also added templates for remote workshops and facilitators, including timeboxing tools and built-in retrospective boards.

Figma highlighted that these features target distributed teams that run workshops across time zones and intermittent connectivity, making it easier to maintain momentum even when live sessions aren’t possible.
