Suggest a Feature

Hello Figma Team, I’d like to suggest some improvements to Figma’s table workflow to make practical table editing much more efficient for real-world use cases. Currently, basic table layouts are possible, but there are still limitations when working with tables in professional design workflows. I believe the following improvements could greatly enhance usability: • Improved cell, row, and column editingIt would be helpful to have more intuitive controls for adding, deleting, duplicating, resizing, and merging cells, rows, and columns. • Better spreadsheet and external data integrationConnecting or importing data from Excel or Google Sheets more seamlessly into Figma tables would significantly improve workflow efficiency. • Bulk style editing for tablesApplying typography, padding, borders, background colors, and other styles across multiple cells at once would save a lot of production time.

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

Hi everyone!  I have seen a lot of posts here about having to detach a fill of a layer in order to change the opacity and asking for opacity to be also able to save as its own variable, but this is not exactly my wish. I wish to define a variable that has a not a 100% fill, but rather references another color variable and has a different opacity without having to detach the referenced variable. Example use case:Alert component with 3 variants. In this case the “color” variable is the background in the first of the 3 variants (from left to right) and also the text and stroke color in the other two variants. “background” variable in this case only the background in the 3rd variant.  In light mode it is a light blue, but a solid light blue. In dark mode, instead of having to define a whole new “dark-gray-ish blue” color to reference here, I would just like to reference the “info/main” variable, with an opac

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.

I’m building a design system and am calling out specific gradient use. I’m only allowed to rotate 90° increments. Please add the ability to manually enter degrees so I can save it to a style. This allows all my designers to not have to manually adjust gradient on text or other objects that I can’t save as a component.

I experienced this exact issue while performing a usability test the other day. The result was that the user was mindlessly hunting for where the cursor changed, rather than thinking about the UI. Currently under prototyping mode - when hovering over interactive components the curser instantly changes from arrow to hand. This creates major issues during usability tests since users are able to guess the “correct” answer just by identifying hotspots via curser change. It actually makes the “show hotspots on links” checkbox less useful as we still show the hotspots by curser change even if this is unchecked Original post: Disable mouse cursor change on hotspots

Figma is being used more and more also for simple slide presentations, not just device/interface prototyping. In this scenario, having the cursor constantly showing is quite annoying. Please hide the cursor automatically when it’s not moving, just like when watching a video fullscreen on Netflix, the cursor disappears after 2 seconds when it’s not being used. This behavior would make sense even for an interface prototype tbh and make sense when screensharing a presentation to others.

When I merge a branch which has some comments, those comments are not copied/merged/… to main file. Is it expected behaviour or “thing in progress”? I would love to have those comments transfered. So i don’t forget anything 🙂

I’ve already started using the new slots and I find them amazing, but I think it’s very limiting to prevent the use of grid layout. 

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev m

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

Has anyone found a way to get Figjam to automatically color URL text blue? I keep confusing URL text with standard black underlined text in boards.Feels like a basic feature missing

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

Text-style overrides like bold, underline, … won’t work on instances properly, now the instance must be rest for the bold overrides to come though. So a lot of screens needs to be rechecked and manual work is needed everywhere the instance is used. Any solutions for this?

Not sure if it’s just me and if I’m doing something wrong, but just having the exclamation mark notifying you that there is a conflict or issue with a mode that uses variables is too vague. I spent over two hours trying to identify the issue. I got a message telling me to ‘Library assets may need to be republished...’ which fixed nothing. In the end i found out the was an issue caused by me changing/organinsing some of the variables in my design systems ‘Layout mode’.The section that had the layout variables applied was still showing the correct values, so as far as i could tell all was good, so couldn’t understand the issue:-I get that if something changes in the design system that it can

Hi it've been a pain for our team lately. We always have to design in 2 languages (English and Vietnamese). We have to duplicate a flow in 1 language and translate into other language. Imagine if there're adjustments with the flow, we got to double work and make changes on both version. Couldn’t imagine the workload if the company decided to add 3rd or 4th languages. I wish there are some kinds of feature like language toggle. It would automatically update changes on both version. I can come back to each version to update some minor text translation. 

I’m a hybrid UI/UX designer, and part of my work includes creating digital assets (like instructional gifs / videos, product launch gif). Right now I design in Figma but then have to switch to other tools (Premiere or After Effects) just to put videos together. When it comes to prototyping, it requires higher effort to update these contents and makes collaboration harder. It would be amazing if Figma had some basic video editing features built in—nothing too heavy, but enough to:Trim and stitch clips together Add simple transitions or motion Layer text, images, or overlays Drop in audio tracks Dev friendlyIt’d be super useful for teams like mine that work on both design and content, and it could save us from jumping across multiple apps.

When using FigJam on an iPad w/Apple Pencil Pro, it would be incredibly helpful if the app actually recognized the gestures of the Apple Pencil Pro and followed the system settings, like swapping to the eraser or opening the tool’s command pallet. This cannot come soon enough… 

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

Often in my designs I need to provide fork for flow to go one way or another depending on conditions. When I use If/ Else and add Navigate to - the dropdown is not ordered alphabetically. I’m not sure what it was ordered on if on anything. It makes it really hard to find what frame I want to navigate to in according condition.If I start typing I can find a frame but due to the mess of not aphabetically ordered and a lot of frames that might start with same few letters this is not much help.Could we have actual search (Typeahead dropdown) instead or at least order it please alphabetically?  

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Sometimes I use dev mode links to look through people’s files. For every file I viewed I get notifications when something is marked as Ready for dev.And it also bloats my mail withFrame 2087324273 is ready for dev in Draft | You're subscribed because you viewed this file in Dev Mode.Kinda tired to unsubscribe from every single file. Why there’s no option to opt off every dev mode updates in settings? Figma notifications settings  

When marking a comment as resolved, we are now automatically moved to the next one. I’m wondering if or how we can disable this behaviour?My work flow being to go from screen to screen of user flows, and not comments to comments, this is very disrupting as it can bring me anywhere in the file, and I need to find and navigate back to where I was. I understand this might be useful for reviewers that only goes through questions left by other people, but this probably not most users, so it would be useful to have the ability to disable this feature.
