Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Specify center of rotation

Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.

Access variables list from padding and gap options

This is the first of three features I want to suggest.When you have your spacing variables,  This is what we currently see but what if we see this instead of having to go all the time to the right panel, see below: I find it so annoying and time consuming having to go to the right panel. I hope you guys can consider this, thank you!

Make text follow a path or a circle

I’m trying to create the text effect in this image. The odometer’s text wraps around the circle very nicely. Right now I have to use a plugin, but I lose the ability to edit the text afterwards and there is no preview so I have to try a few times to get the text to wrap nicely. Sketch had a feature where if you dragged a text on top of a path it would snap to it and would follow the path. A similar feature (perhaps with a better implementation) would be very welcome on Figma.

Text Alignment as a variable

I was playing around with the idea of using variable modes to easily switch between using Latin script and, say Arabic, but where I think I’m let down is having to manually change the text left-right-center alignment. Thanks!

Reorder variable collections list

Can anyone figure out how to reorder the list of variable collection in the fill dropdown? The layer ‘mode’ assignment appears to sort correctly alphabetically, but the pick list under the fill menu does not, which is a huge painpoint, and will definitely lead to my designers picking the first color they see instead of the semantic one. Correctly sorted - numerical Incorrectly sorted - 2. is at the top instead of 1.

Calculation formula within variable input

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables: but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

A shortcut to open the "Local variables" window

Hello everyone! I think having a shortcut to open/close the local variables would be very helpful. For example in cases where I’m prototyping and need to access the local variables to ensure the accuracy of the variable names or values that I’m assigning in the interactions. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to switch between the prototype panel to the design panel in order to open the local variables, check them and then go back to prototype. Note: I am aware that it is possible to keep the local variables window open, but this often leads to numerous bugs in the prototype. For example, when it is open, I am unable to drag the prototype interactions to reorder them.

Remove Leaving Figma External Link Warning for anyone without an account/not logged in

Im creating a prototype and would like to link to live pages on our site without having the User in the test have to see the “Leaving Figma Warning” page. My concern is that it takes it breaks the illusion of an actual experience. Is there a way remove this middle page from the experience?

Move a page from one Figma file to another

Pretty simple ask: I want to move a page from one Figma to another. I don’t see a way to do it. Select All + Cut + Paste is not a good solution as I might have locked objects that don’t come with the copy and there might be properties set on the page (background color, etc.) that I might lose.

Truncate text: BEGINNING or MIDDLE of text/url as well

Please add option to truncate text in the middle of the text, we use this for URLs so users can see the end of urls not just the beginning. But I always have to be very careful when I make the mocks in Figma to detach components and add 3 dots in the middle manually, and communicate that to devs in detail. If option is added in Figma then Devs can see it in properties of components, and in mock at the same time, without handoff overhead.

Incremental height/width

I’ll keep it short and sweet;I’d love a feature in which it would be possible to set the height and width of an object to be changed in multiples of a set number of pixels. So if you’d increase in height your grid would remain the same.

Right align variable names

As you all knew, if you have a variable applied to a layer, it will be displayed with full path with every group it is in, like thisExtended Design panelBut when I resize the Design panel to a narrower size, it will truncate the text at the endMinimized Design panelI feel it is time consuming every time I have to hover all the variables to make sure the correct variables are applied. In most cases, I noticed they have different names, despite of they are in same or different groups. So I wonder if it is more convenient to right align their names like this, to prioritize showing the name, not the group:

Add the annotations feature to design mode

Annotations are a great idea, but I think it would be beneficial to allow them to be added without being in dev mode. When something is marked for dev its already a finalised design. Adding annotations before marking as dev mode would save time and allow annotations to be added as we go along.

Annotating designs in prototype view

Hi all, A lot of the time when I’m presenting designs, I will either put together a static slide deck with annotations, or I will walk through the interactive prototype in Figma. One downside with using the interactive prototype is that it’s not possible to annotate designs, in order to show notes and give people a better understanding of what I’m presenting. I understand that comments can be added, and ideally I would talk through the design myself, but having annotations that are constantly visible would be a great help. I noticed Adobe XD has this, as it displays a panel on the right hand side with all notes. Figma has this feature in Design mode, but when in Prototype mode, these comments can only be viewed one at a time. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any plugins or workarounds that people have used to get around this? Thanks in advance!

Make variable names available to use as text string for design system documentation

There is a variable option for text strings that pulls in the value of a variable. I would like to an option to apply a variable name to a text string. This would allow my design system documentation to be dynamic based on the changes I make to the variable names. I used this option in Tokens Studio and it was incredibly useful.

Copy & Paste variables is bad

The new feature of copy and pasting variables over to new collections is a great addition, however its not currently usable. One major improvement that needs to happen— when pasting into the new collection the order of the variables is completely messed up, it should retain the organization from the original list. Also better yet it would be immensely helpful to just have a duplicate collection option. Thanks for all your hard work Figma team.

Suggested feature - Priority/Labeling for comments

As a product manager, I often comment on a design file, I would like to have an option to label the comment with priority - critical, high, medium, low or 1-5, so the product designer will know what to focus on first. Furthermore: Each priority color/icon should be really clear on first look over all comments to help open the most important comments. The notifications section should allow sorting the comments by priority. Also, labeling the comments could help for versions division - adding “next version” tag / “current version” tag, or in general, costume tags that match the team internal process.

Make Exported .PDF Files With Editable Text For Accessibility Purposes

Currently exported .PDFs out of Figma are not accessible, because the text is flattened as images. I would like to request an option for exported .PDFs to have editable text. This would be a game changer for our team to move off of Sketch! 😃 (Sketch allows for .PDFs to export with editable text, but Figma does not)

Allow us to view Variants descriptions similar to component/variants

I wonder if there are any plans on your roadmap to enable viewing variant descriptions directly within Figma?Currently, only design system editors can see the variant library and associated descriptions, which makes it challenging for other team members to understand the purpose or intended use of specific variants. Having a way for all users—designers, developers, and stakeholders—to view variant descriptions without requiring editor access would significantly enhance collaboration, improve understanding of the design system, and reduce dependency on editors for clarification.This feature would empower teams to work more efficiently and ensure consistency in using components across projects.

Scroll-to action in overlays

As written in the documentation (Prototype interactions and animations) the destination of a Scroll to action can only be an element of the same top-level frame. But with this limitation it is impossible to prototype a common navigation pattern. On one-pagers there are often floating menu for intrapage links. E.g you have an hamburger icon that opens a menu overlay from where you can scroll to a specific page section. This can’t be realized with an Figma overlay because of the restrictions mentioned above. There is a workaround, but it seems that it only works because of a bug: You can set the menu overlay as an child of the top-level frame of the one-pager, define the Scroll-to actions and then move the menu outside the frame (as an separate top-level layer) to show it later as an overlay. By doing this all the Scroll-to actions still work, but when you change an action the target will be rested and the navigation is broken. Working Example Maybe you can remove the restrictions that t

Official Linux Support

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.
