  • React with stickers, stamps, and reactions to flag questions or up-vote ideas
  • Seamlessly copy and paste between FigJam and Figma, so everything stays in one place together

With these tools, you can build diagrams, map out user journeys, analyze results, and much more. FigJam also offers free templates to help new users get started.
