Figma Interface Overview

Figma can be used on both desktop and browser versions. But the desktop version is preferred for comfort and performance, but the interface is identical to the browser version.

Top bar icons

• Bell icon: view notifications;

Teams and projects

• Teams: collaborate with multiple team members (however, free plan limits team options);
