‫Hey, everyone, and welcome back.

‫I wanted to go through the Figma UI and more specifically, just the structure of the dashboard area

‫over here.

‫Now, what we currently are is where you're going to land when you first open figma.

‫Every single time now you'll have a navigation bar up here.

‫You can search.

‫You can see your accounts that you have connected.

‫You can connect more than one account.

‫So it's really easy to switch.

‫You can access the community as well.

‫If you're working on multiple teams or if you shared a file that has comments on it, notifications

‫will show up over here.

‫If you want to access more things about your account, you can do that here.

‫Even has a nice, nice link to get the desktop app.

‫You can add your account here if you have multiple accounts, like I mentioned before, you switch them

‫on this side.

‫So I do that really often.

‫I have multiple accounts and I love switching between them, between my work and my personal.

‫So that is the navigation bar.

‫Then you have the sidebar.

‫Now that your sidebar is made up of a bunch of different things, you have your recents where you're

‫going to be accessing all the files that are available to you based off of what you recently opened.

‫You have your drafts now.

‫These are where all your files are going to live.

‫Now, if you don't have a professional plan, majority of your files are going to live right here,

‫and that's fine.

‫I would just name them properly and and find a convention that works for you to create a little bit

‫of structure.

‫Because if you do have a professional plan, you'll have the ability to add a bunch of projects and

‫a bunch of files within those projects.

‫Unfortunately, that's a bit limiting right now to the starter plan.

‫A great thing about Figma and I'll get back to this file I just opened is you can have favorite files.

‫So if I go back to my recents up here, you'll see that I've started a couple of files now, three files,

‫and they'll all show up here.

‫So if you're working on a file or there's a file that you constantly like refer to.

‫That's a great way to just find it in one spot.

‫All this functionality is also within the desktop app.

‫Now these are the files, so you can click them like I did before and open up a new tab.

‫Or you can right click them and you can see all the different options available to you, whether you

‫want to share.

‫You can copy a link, you can remove it from your favorites, you can duplicate it, etc. You can even

‫start in your design file right from your drafts or recents or import a file like some of the resources

‫we have.

‫So that is the easiest way to do that over here.

‫And that is your Figma dashboard.
