Figma Figma Collaboration and Teamwork 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is FigJam in the context of Figma collaboration?
- Figma's prototyping mode
- An online whiteboard tool integrated with Figma for brainstorming and workshops (Correct answer)
- A plugin marketplace
- A code handoff feature
Correct answer: An online whiteboard tool integrated with Figma for brainstorming and workshops
FigJam is Figma's collaborative whiteboard product, designed for brainstorming, diagrams, and team workshops alongside design files.
Question 2: How can a Figma file owner restrict a shared link so that only people within their organization can access it?
- By setting the link to 'Only invited people' (Correct answer)
- By exporting it as a password-protected PDF
- By using Dev Mode only
- By moving it to a private folder
Correct answer: By setting the link to 'Only invited people'
Changing the link-sharing setting to 'Only invited people' or 'Anyone at [org]' in the Share dialog restricts access to specific users or organization members.
Question 3: What is the purpose of Figma's 'Dev Mode' when sharing with developers?
- It lets developers edit design layers
- It provides a code-focused view with CSS, iOS, and Android specs plus asset export (Correct answer)
- It converts Figma files to React code
- It hides prototype interactions
Correct answer: It provides a code-focused view with CSS, iOS, and Android specs plus asset export
Dev Mode gives developers a read-only, code-focused interface showing CSS/Swift/Kotlin specs, measurements, and downloadable assets without exposing edit controls.
Question 4: When resolving a comment in Figma, what happens to it?
- It is permanently deleted
- It is marked as resolved and hidden from the default view but can be shown again (Correct answer)
- It is converted to a sticky note
- It is emailed to the file owner
Correct answer: It is marked as resolved and hidden from the default view but can be shown again
Resolving a comment archives it from the active comment list — it's not deleted and can be viewed again by toggling 'Show resolved comments'.
Question 5: In Figma's branching workflow, what does 'merging' a branch do?
- Deletes the branch file
- Copies all branch changes back into the main file (Correct answer)
- Creates a new team project
- Publishes the branch as a library
Correct answer: Copies all branch changes back into the main file
Merging a branch applies all design changes made in the branch back to the main file, integrating the work into the primary source of truth.
Question 6: What does the 'Inspect' panel in Figma provide to collaborators with view access?
- The ability to run JavaScript on the design
- Exact measurements, font specs, colors, and exportable CSS values for every layer (Correct answer)
- A live preview of the prototype
- An audit log of recent changes
Correct answer: Exact measurements, font specs, colors, and exportable CSS values for every layer
The Inspect panel shows precise design specs — dimensions, colors, typography, and auto-generated CSS/Swift/Kotlin code — for any selected layer.
