From YouTube: Recreating & Making Content in Figjam
Description
Dan Mizzi-Harris (Product Designer) answers questions about recreating and adding new content to Figjam from Will Leidheiser (Staff UX Researcher).
A
Hey
everybody
I'm
here
with
Dan
and
he
and
I
are
going
to
be
talking
about
some
questions
that
we
have
related
to
Fig
jam
and
Craig
fig
Jam
templates.
A
So
I've
got
a
set
of
questions
for
you,
Dan
I'd
love
to
get
your
perspective
since
you've
been
busy
like
migrating
a
lot
of
content
over
to
Fig
Jam
over
the
past
a
couple
of
weeks,
So.
Based
on
your
experience.
What
advice
would
you
give
for
recreating
Content
migrated
from
mural
boards
so
that
it
works
properly
in
fig
Jam.
B
Sure
I
think
the
main
advice
I'd
give
is
try
not
to
recreate
it
as
if
it
was
a
mural
created
as
if
it's
a
fig
jamboard
so
uses
many
of
the
Native
fake
Jam
features
as
possible.
So
I
understand
it
in
mural
you
often
use
shapes
and
rectangles
to
represent
things
and
group
stuff,
but
in
fig
Jam
we
have
things
called
sections
which
is
great
for
grouping
content
and
sticky
notes
for
participant
notes.
A
Okay,
awesome
and
one
thing
that
we
talked
about
async
before
this
call
was
making
sure
that
figma
fig
Jam
boards
are
at
Native
scale.
Could
you
elaborate
on
what
that
means
and
how
it
applies
to
Fig
Jam.
B
Sure
I
think
the
best
way
to
show
this
is
through
a
visual
and
here's
a
board
that
I
worked
on
this
board.
Here
is
how
it
imported,
and
this
is
it
at
its
native
size.
As
you
can
see,
it's
significantly
smaller.
Why
does
it?
Why
does
it
matter
when
you
try
and
use
the
native
tools
like
a
sticky?
This
is
how
big
it
was
appearing
in
the
imported
version
of
the
file,
not
particularly
useful
for
participants
or
viewers
of
the
board.
A
A
So
yeah
thanks
for
demonstrating
that
my
next
question
was:
what
is
the
process
for
creating
a
published
template?
I've
I've
done
it
myself,
but
just
for
others
who
want
to
do
that
in
the
future.
What
would
you
recommend.
B
Sure
so
that
the
mechanism
for
creating
a
template
is
best
documented
in
fig
jams,
help
Guides
Online
I
won't
read
it
out
here,
because
it
might
change
in
the
future
and
then
go
have
a
look
to
that,
and
perhaps
we
can
include
a
link
to
it,
but
a
process
for
it
at
gitlab
is
currently
undefined.
My
initial
suggestion
would
be
to
use
the
existing
templates
project.
That's
in
the
gitlab
product
design
team
and
go
from
there.
A
A
And
once
we
either
create
new
boards
or
create
templates-
you
kind
of
alluded
to
this
in
the
previous
question,
but
like
where?
Should
we
put
that
content?
So
it
works
with
our
file
structure
that
we're
still
defining.
B
Sure
so
yeah
yeah,
like
I,
said
it
is.
It
is
undefined,
but
I
personally
have
strong
opinions
and
preferences
back
to
it.
Something
I
noticed
with
mural
is
a
lot
of
the
work
is
stored
at
a
person
level
in
people's
private
rooms,
I
think
in
fig
Jam.
We
should
use
the
existing
stage
at
gitlab,
Stage,
Group
and
feature
structure
that
exists,
and
we
might
need
some
additional
projects
and
teams
for
boards
that
don't
fit
into
this.
For
example,
things
like
cross
stage
or
focus
on
specific
personas
that
don't
fit
into
that
stage
group
and
feature.
B
The
reasons
for
this
is
reducing
silos
between
people
and
teams,
increased
transparency
and
increase
the
chance
of
ongoing
use
by
teams
it's
in
the
same
place
as
the
files
they're
using
more
frequently
and
keeping
things
all
together.
There
is
I,
have
seen
people
suggest
you
don't
think
the
drafts
again
personally
I'm
pretty
strongly
against
them.
I
think
it's
counter
to
a
transparency
value,
our
iteration
value
and
our
collaboration
values,
but
there's
no
defined
design.
Ops
type
flow
for
this.
This
stuff.
A
Yeah
awesome:
my
next
question
was
something
that
you
spoke
to
at
the
very
beginning,
like
I've,
only
used
mural
kind
of
in
past
roles
and
currently
at
git
lab
so
I'm,
fairly
new
to
Fig
Jam.
A
B
A
So
since
you
mentioned
it's
AI
related
I'm
not
really
familiar
with
GM,
but
could
you
just
briefly
touch
on
what
it
does.
B
Sure
so
I
think
it's
chat
GPT
like
interface,
but
it
interacts
with
elements
on
your
fake
jamboard,
so
you
could
and
to
things,
for
example,
like
add
a
paragraph
of
text
and
say
split
this
up
into
10
idea,
stickies
and
it
generates
10
ideas,
stickies
or
you
might
select
a
group
of
50,
sticky,
notes
and
say
one
of
the
key
themes
or
group
them
based
on
the
key
themes
and
that
sort
of
using
a
text
interface,
it's
coming
in
beta,
so
I
expect
the
functionality
and
features
to
change,
but
might
be
a
good
starting
point
for
some
types
of
work,
and
it
might
be
a
good,
oh
wait.
B
A
Awesome
yeah
thanks
for
the
overview
and
I
think
for
the
last
part
we
had
talked
before
the
recording
about
potentially
recreating
a
template
live
just
to
see.
You
know
how
that
could
work,
and
so
other
people
could
could
use
this
to
watch.
This
recording
I've
got
a
specific
template
in
mind
that
doesn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
elements
to
it
compared
to
some
of
the
other
templates
that
we
have
I'll
share
that
in
the
Google
Doc.
B
B
So
the
first
thing
I'm
gonna,
do
is
check.
The
scale
like
we
spoke
about
earlier
I
think
it's
going
to
be
okay,
but
the
way
I
do
this
is
by
picking
the
biggest
piece
of
text
on
the
page
and
making
sure
it's
within
within
this
range,
some
of
the
imported
ones.
This
was
four
thousand
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
very
large
numbers.
B
B
A
I
think
these
were
different
icons
that
were
specific
to
murals,
so
they
didn't
really
important
over,
but
I
can
look
into
mural
to
see
what
they
were.
So
we
can
see
pull
something
similar.
A
B
B
Something
that's
in
that's
quite
cool
about
stickies.
Is
they
come
with
the
author
built
in
which
can
be
toggled
on
and
off?
B
So
if
you
pre-load,
with
stickies
they'll
all
have
whoever
created
the
template,
is
an
author
name
in
the
first
instance,
which
might
be
something
you
want
to
avoid.
But
if
you
try
editing
this
one,
it
should
change
I,
think
you're
in
the
file,
so
you
can
go
ahead
and
do
that.
It
should
update
to
yours
to
your
name,
but
something
to
bear
in
mind
that
you
might
not
want
to
do.
B
Yes,
it's
changed
to
well
right
there,
so
I
think
there's
there's
room
for
a
decision
on
that.
One.
B
Do
you
have
any
strong
preference
about
leaving
I
quite
like
in
the
past
I
found
it
useful
to
not
have
existing
stickies
because
it
allows
people
to
do
their
own
I
found
people
group
stuff
together.
Naturally,
if
they
see
they've
got
a
similar
idea
to
someone
else,
they'll
put
it
in
that
free
space,
whereas
pre-presenting
a
rigid
flow
dictates
an
order
almost,
whereas.
A
B
A
I
think
you
made
a
good
case
for
not
including
stickies
I,
certainly
have
noticed
that
when
I've
done
like
past
workshops
that,
like
oh,
my
like
trying
to
dictate
too
much
about
like
oh,
there
should
be
only
up
to
this
many
comments.
You
know,
based
on
the
number
of
stickies,
that
I've
left
so
I
do
like
the
idea
of
just
leaving
it
blank
and
just
saying
just
add
a
sticky
to
each
of
the
sections.
A
I've
primarily
used
it
as
color
for
meaning,
but
I
have
seen
other
people
on
the
team
that
have
used
color
for
author,
so
I
do
like
that
fig
Jam
in
this
case,
like
let
shooting
specify
like
who's.
You
know
edited
that
that's
sticky
note.
B
Oh,
that's
cool
I'll,
I'm,
gonna
pop
these
actually
I.
Don't
think
this
needs
a
section
so
I'm
just
gonna
put.
B
B
A
B
Than
a
functional
choice,
if
that
makes
sense,
but
if
you
have
strong
strong
opinions,
then
I
can
change
all
of
that
around
as
well.
B
If
you
need
more
distinction,
you
do
have
a
choice
of
typefaces
and
I
found
the
scribble
one
useful
to
Mark
separates
notes
from
Instructions,
if
that
makes
sense,
unconditional,
not
not
essential
information
or
almost
as
if
the
authors
talking
to
the
participants
rather
than
the
template
talking
to
the
participants,
if
that
makes
sense,
yeah.
B
I
think
said:
some
stickers
for.
B
For
some
personality,
like
I,
was
saying
I've
seen
these,
especially
in
syncs,
it
can
be
hard
for
people
to
stay
focused,
there's
lots
of
distractions,
there's
lots
of
things
falling
for
attention,
I
found.
If
boards
have
lots
of
this
going
on
and
people
are
causing
their
own
Mischief
in
corners
of
boards,
at
least
they're
still
focused
on
their
session,
rather
than
causing
mischief
and
distractions
elsewhere.
B
A
B
This
towards
do
you
have
any
any
questions.
Something
I
did
do
is
check
to
see
a
rough
idea
of
how
many
Post-it
notes
would
fit.
Does
that
seem
like
a
reasonable
amount,
or
would
you
expect
more.
A
I'd
probably
expect
a
little
bit
more.
So
that's
a
good
idea
to
like
test
it
out
to
see
whether
how
many
of
those
native
scale
Post-its
can
fit
in
a
given
section.
B
Sure
because
of
that
then,
let's
make.
B
B
B
There
we
go
other
useful
stuff,
is,
you
can
add,
tables
which
worked
pretty
well?
Code
blocks
are
quite
useful
as
well.
I
think
they're
hidden.
B
With
a
small
selection
of
languages,
they
format
pretty
nicely
if
you
do
have
Post-its
and
shapes
and.
B
Text
the
arrows
to
join
stuff
up
works
pretty
well
a
lot
of
the
time.
If
you
know
you're
making
a
flow
of
things.
B
You
can
add
another
one
through
this
now
many
of
this
has
changed
since
I've
used
it,
but
that's
quite
nice
so
that
Works
quite
quickly
you
can
change
the
styling
of
these
to
the
different
colors,
different,
endpoints,
thick
or
thin
dashed.
A
B
A
Yeah
one
question
I
had
is
you
know
you
spoke
to
how
you
commonly
used
the
the
shortcut
for
sections,
what
other
like
common
shortcuts
or
keyboard
shortcuts?
Do
you
use.
B
It's
a
good
question:
that's
probably
it
and
that's
because
it's
a
a
lot
of
the
shortcuts
are
the
same
in
figma
as
in
figure.
Oh
no
I,
like
those
two
more
forward.
Slash
brings
up
a
a
Chat
thing
that
other
people
in
the
file
can
see
and
text
bubble.
E
brings
up.
Oops
e
brings
up
this
menu,
which
allows
you
to
react
in
real
time,
pretty
encouraging
for
presenters
when
they
see
stuff
like
that,
going
on
or
add
some
stamps
of
approval
or
otherwise.
A
Nice
I
think
that's
all
the
questions
that
I
had
I
appreciate
you
demonstrating
all
this,
especially
within
this
recording.
B
No
I
think
I,
don't
think
so.
Sticking
to
the
maybe
just
sticking
to
defaults
works
well
like
here,
I
just
use
the
the
sizes
that
exist,
I
didn't
try
and
be
too
to
Fancy
the
things.
B
Less
is
more
sometimes
to
let
be
content
and
more
space
for
participants
to
surprise
us
as
facilitators.
I
guess.
