Figma shipped a desktop app update on May 1, 2026, introducing smoother cross-file navigation so designers can move between files without losing context or triggering disruptive reloads. The update also adds searchability to recent work, making it faster to locate previously opened files. While incremental, the change addresses a common friction point in multi-file workflows and reflects Figma's ongoing investment in desktop performance. Teams working across large design systems with many component libraries will benefit most from the reduced context-switching overhead.
