… not fake elements that look like links. The reason why is because someone posted a link to a Figma file inside a Figma comment, and when I tried to open it in a new tab (making sure I’m holding Cmd in macOS, same as Ctrl in Windows), it just opened in the same tab as the Figma file I’m currently viewing. It’s also impossible to right-click the link and get a link-related context menu. It’s not possible to easily copy the link too. Right now what we get is a regular browser context menu. Worst parts are: The draft comment I wrote was completely lost because of this navigation. There was no warning, and it wasn’t saved to be restored later. The back button doesn’t work. It doesn’t take me back to where I was. It just reloads the linked page, and then the back button is fully disabled. I had to go find the previous location myself manually. PS: On that note: Please also reduce the label of long links to be truncated with ellips

This is a reference to a topic that was closed without resolution: Reorder objects in an autolayout component instance. Allow for order overrides Share an idea Reorder objects in an autolayout component instance. Allow for order overrides. Allow users to reorder (drag or arrow) objects inside a component instance that has auto-layout on it. Especially useful for components that have r

Absolutely love the ability to move items from one page to another. It would be a massive improvement if the items that are moved didn’t stack on top of one another, sometimes creating a mess of a pile. Certainly don’t expect it to be organized, but not stacking would be a massive improvement.Thank you for all the work!

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

We currently can only Rename, Delete or Create a collection. Can we have an option to Duplicate an existing collection? This would allow users to quickly create copy of an existing collection of variable, then select a new design and switch from one collection to another without having to type everything. Example use case: Brand 1 (Collection) Colors (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) Fonts (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) After duplicating: Brand 2 (Collection) Colors (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) Fonts (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode)

Hi, it would be great if we could hide/remove rows/columns if all the content inside the row/column is hidden/deleted. That is, the grid’s dimensions get adjusted dynamically based on the content instead of being fixed always.For example: In this 3x3 grid, if I delete/hide “C”, then the second row should be deleted/hidden such that the grid looks like a 2x3 grid instead. Like this: Instead, it currently looks like this: The second row does not get automatically hidden/deleted since the Grid dimensions are fixe

The presentation view needs to support zoom. Currently it’s impossible to view large frames in presentation view as we’re limited to 3 options: 100% display at full size Fit scale down to fit Scale down or up to fill #1 displays the content too big, and #2 and #3 display the content too small.

In Adobe Photoshop, you can use the transform tool to distort and change the angle of an image. For example, if you need to change the angle of an image within an iPhone device mockup. I wish I was able to do this within Figma the same way I use it in Photoshop. 

The current Tables feature in Figma feels quite limited. It would be fantastic if some basic functionalities could be introduced soon, such as: • The ability to easily resize cells without needing to adjust font size • The option to merge cells • Top, middle, and bottom text alignment options These enhancements would bring Figma’s table functionality more in line with what we already have in tools like Keynote and Google Slides.

One important feature is missing = Merging cells 😦 Is this feature included as an improvement in the near future?

Right now there is no simple way to have a conversation with an LLM about a set of designs (Page/File/selected amount of artboards) in Figma. Copying/pasting screenshots is not feasible because a screenshot big enough to capture the contents of a page in figma would be way too large to paste into an LLM. Use cases: As a designer, I’m being onboarded onto a complex project and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. I can chat with an LLM about the PRD, but not about a Figma file. It would be great if an LLM could natively scan page page or entire file and allow me to ask questions about the file without me scanning every single artboard manually to start.  I want to get feedback on a user flow/design/set of designs. This would be a big unlock because I think that AI is good at exploring the solution space for a problem when properly described/articulated but it’s a very manual time-consuming process because there is no visual element to it. 

Hello Figma! I can not change the direction of the Autolayout on the instances of a component. I can not understand why such a great feature is disabled on the instances and why not allow us to overwrite it? There are so many incidents that I would have wished to be able to change the direction of the Autolayout in the instances of the component but right now I have to create multiple variants. 😦

No brainer. I’ve either had to ask clients to record a loom of themselves going through a Make prototype or me having to screenshot EVERY SINGLE PAGE of the prototype then send them PDFs so they could comment on it.If there’s a new QOL feature that’s gonna be added to Figma Make, it should be commenting.

Especially with the recent Variables update. It’s more important than ever to have the ability to migrate all the old Styles with new Variables. However, the current behavior is that it only matches whatever “name” is the same. This makes the whole swapping library a very underpowered feature. Ideally, it should simply allow us to pick Variables or Styles to swap with the old library. This has been requested back in 2021.

It should be possible to swap library components manually. In this screenshot, I’m swapping a icon library for another, but the icons are not named the same, so I can’t finish the job. Why can’t I simply select the component I want to replace it with? Even worse, there’s no way to select the components from the old library to swap them them manually one by one. Component instances from my old library are scattered in pages and there’s no efficient way to select instances from a certain library (apart from the swap library modal). I’ve looked at so many plugins and none of them can get it done. It’s such a pain and could be resolved easily. btw - the same applies to “Missing Library.” Because I can’t swap them to an arbitrary library, I’m left with ghost components that I can’t even locate.

Please answer the questions as soon as possible. Any approximate date to next release.

Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%).

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

I want to make a prototype where something changes when user scrolls content. I want to keyboard collapse when user starts scrolling content, but it’s impossible to do with drag action. Or it feels unnatural Or am I missing a way to do it with existing tools?

I use Grammarly app across a lot of platforms, but it does not work on Figma unfortunately. It would be amazing to be able to run Grammarly on Figma.

The gif below should be self-explanatory about the issue

Currently, the section title is outside the section box only on the highest level. When a section is nested, the title jumps inside the section box and overlaps content unless you expand the section box. The option to choose if the section title is inside or outside the section box would be really useful. 

Currently there is a huge limitation in prototyping possibilities because any dropdown menus appear underneath the following element in the autolayout flow. I can’t remove autolayout because it would break designs across all useage of design system components and we can’t properly demo prototypes. Anchored by the lack of a customizable z-index property.

Is there a way to export annotations. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to do that or at least share the annotations with someone who does have not a Figma account? Thanks!
