The plugin api provides the variables in any collection in the correct order, and this order is updated if user reordered variables. But for collections, the api doesn’t provide them in the correct order :→ if a user created Collection1 then created Collection2, then reordered them so that Collection2 is before Collection1, the plugin still gets them by creation order → Collection1 then Collection2. Can this bug be fixed quickly? It would be a great improvements of the api.    

Using string variables as a “CMS” across multiple teams is great to achieve consistency in ux writing/labels etc. If only it was possible to use markup within the variables. Because sometimes i run into a textbox where I want to format part of the string as bold, italic, underline … the usual suspects. With the way string variables are currently set up I can not cover this case with them. Hence, it wold be great if some kind of markup support was added. Marry Christmas ;]

Hi, I would love to have the option to draw with the Marker tool in the android tablet application. I know it is possible on iOS tablets, but it isn’t possible on Android.

Allow us to change the background color of text (not just the text fill color) to give a highlighter effect that stays with the words that the effect is applied to even when the size/shape of the text box is changed. For example: The above shows two examples of the same ipsum (left and right) where specific words are highlighted. When the size of the text box (the left example) is changed to accommodate a responsive layout

Upon using Figma Sites, one of the first things I noticed was that you can’t nest pages inside other pages or folders to keep related content organized in the sidebar (like /projects, projects/project 01, projects/project 02, etc.). Dividers, which we got last year, definitely helped a bit—but having collapsible folders or nested pages, like with layers, or pages in Framer, would seriously help keep things organized – especially for URLs.

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.

Maybe on confused on how the feature works. If the team is using for ideation and keeping the master branch clean for devs and clients. When it comes time to push elements from a branch to the master file, currently it pushes the entire branch. This is pointless. We don’t want all the ideation, all the options, all the throw away work, just the version that we moved forward with. Currently we need to make a new branch we call “to be merged” and we need to copy just the artboards that are approved into the new branch then merge from there. This feels like to many steps and is complicated on a team of 4 designers. Shouldn’t there be an option to select just the artboards, components, styles, etc that we want to bring forward and leave all the other work in the archived branch incase we need to go back and grab something from it in the future? Pushing everything makes the feature feel useless because you’re either deleting all your ideation or creating “merge” branches to ma

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:

If a layer has been locked in a Slides file - either by a user on a Full seat, or by the Collab user copying elements or frames across from a Design file, the user on the Collab seat will be unable to edit, unlock or remove the element.Suggest to either allow Collab seat users to also see the layer panel in a Slides file -- OR add an additional “Unlock all layers” when right-clicking a slide.

The Problem: Lost in the Canvas WildernessWhen working on large, sprawling Figma files (especially design systems, deep user flows, or complex prototypes) with hundreds of frames, the canvas becomes a massive workspace.We frequently need to pan or zoom away from our current focus—the frame we are actively designing—to: Reference a component in the design library on the far left. Check colors/styles on the style guide at the bottom. Look at a distant flow branch for context. The pain point: After checking that reference, returning to the active working frame requires slow, tedious, and imprecise manual scrolling/panning, which is a significant flow breaker. This effort grows exponentially with the size of the file.The Proposed Solution: "Go to Working Frame" ShortcutWe need a dedicated keyboard shortcut to instantly snap the viewport b

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible in figma slides to continue a video throught different slides. Because even though the videos have the same name they don’t continue in the same timeline. They restart in every slide. I know that in figma design this is possible unabling the reset video state, but I wanted the same functionality in the slides. Any ideas? Thank you!

I am frustrated that this application cannot be used offline! I made a request three years ago, and they mentioned plans to create an offline version. I really dislike web-based apps that always require an internet connection and a login.As a Photoshop user for over 10 years, I handle all my UI, icon, and design work with Photoshop. I don’t see the value in Figma, yet I’ve missed out on a lot of work because many of my new colleagues only use it. They often send me ".fig" files that I cannot open without installing Figma, creating an account, and being online. Figma is a real piece of garbage for me (absolutely no offence)!While I recognise that Figma has some useful basic tools for UI design, I can’t understand why they haven’t developed a standalone offline version.

It would be great if Figma also had Sentence case as Letter Case style! This is extremely useful especially for people outside the US. It would be as simple as just capitalizing the first letter of each period.

Why isn't there a 'Sentence case' option in Figma's text transform settings? It would be very useful for improving typography workflows — especially for automatically capitalizing the first letter of each sentence.

Hello there! I am new to coding, figma make, and github. I have a prototype designed in Figma Make. I am wondering if anyone can help me save my work to github? Starting from having a published prototype to commit work to GitHub. Here’s what I’ve done so far. 1. Created a New GitHub repository for my prototype I created in Figma Make2. Published my Figma Make prototype​​​​​​3. Downloaded the code to a folder on my local computerI appreciate any help! This is all very exciting stuff. 

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.

I find managing template colors really difficult in Slides. I can’t easily organize, re-order, or rename them. I’ve found some ways to hack it but it feels really convoluted trying to provide color options in the templates I’m making. I think Slides is doing a really great job on most fronts and I love the product, but I find myself just using colors from other libraries because managing them within Slides is so confusing.

Hi! I’ve created a dialog component in one Figma Make file and I want to use it in another file.What’s the best way to import or copy it over? Should I copy-paste it manually or is there a better way to reuse components across files in Figma Make?

There is a great feature in Notion called “close redirecting browser tabs” This is a setting that, when toggled on, automatically closes a browser tab when a page open in the desktop app. It would be great if Figma had this feature as well. When I click on Figma links, I end up with lots of browser tabs like this, because the pages open in the Figma desktop app. I would love if these tabs auto-closed.

Include a search bar in the Library analytics panel to rapidly select a component without having to scroll through the list of components.

There is no “change property” interaction. This is very basic. I see several conversations around this, but no direct feature request for this basic feature. Currently, you can ONLY change variant properties. But you should be able to change boolean property, text property, or instance swap.Most common use cases:Show/hide a layer on hover such as a tooltip or an interaction widget (currently requires workarounds with nested components or additional variants)  Change text on hover such as embedded help text Change an embedded instance on click for navigating between tabsA bonus interaction would be “change embedded variants”. You can currently only change the variant of the component itself, but it would be super useful to be able to target an embedded component and change its variant.

There have been many times where I’m trying to compare the color values between two or more objects. However, every time I select another object the color panel disappears so I have to click on the swatch again and try to remember the values from the previous object. Sometimes I’ll just take a screenshot of the color picker values and paste them back into Figma but that’s not fun at all. One possible solution would be to make the color picker remain visible if the user ‘unpins’ it (ie. drags it away from the right panel). Then they could select the next object to see the color values and then close the picker when they’re done.

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!
