Dev mode: seeing Prototype points + more details of what changes, with Interaction panel nuances

Prototype points: I don’t always manage to hook up the prototypes exactly from the right layer. Say there’s a button, if that’s in a parent container and its wrapped around it tightly because maybe it held two buttons and I hide one. When prototyping I might pull from the first node I see that looks like the button, and then it actually comes from the parent container. In dev mode, trying to see where the interaction code is, you’d expect it to be on the button. When it isn’t, its not easy to know how to find it. Especially if they don’t have access to design mode. What i’d ask for, if I could ask, is some way for Dev mode to be able to see the parts of a frame that have prototype elements, where the prototype nodes are. Like an icon on a layers in the layers panel, to show it has prototype connections. More details please: Separate but on the same idea as this, and i know this is complex to figure out. Which is to show changes between frames and what the Interaction section can do to

Make Annotations visible to everyone

I was going to praise how neat the new Annotation feature is, when I realized the content is only visible to Dev Mode accounts. Are you serious? I understand you want to limit creating annotations to certain seat types, but viewing annotations should be a viewer-level feature. Come on Figma, there are better ways to convince your users to pay for a subscription. This is such a crooked move.

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

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 mode annotations visible to v

Merging cells in FigJam Tables

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

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.

Custom annotations settings

Hello there,I’m loving annotations, however, it would be great if you can set up custom categories that can be applied to every file. It’s not a workflow killer, but would be nice not having to make the same new category on every file. Thanks!

Let us design on tablets/mobile (Fully featured Figma for iOS and Android)

Describe the problem you’re experiencing and how your idea helps solve this I like to work on my iPad Air with Apple Pencil. It’s great in Miro app. Lets me deal with comments or make small adjustments while away from the big screen. Now Figma is not very useful on mobile browsers. Most tools are disabled. One workaround is Figurative app but that is only marginally better and not developed for the last few months. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Anyone tried this on Android tablets? Some funky workarounds like connecting keyboards or hacking browser settings? I guess it’s okay on Windows based tablets and convertibles, at least non ARM based ones. What about phones? And what about proper companion app, like Miro has? Thanks!

Enable Assets search only for enabled libraries

Since a long time ago I have noticed that Figma allows you to search all your published components within the asset window of a file. The thing is that I want to search only within the localized assets of a file and not all. All other libraries are switched off, however, I still search across every file and this is really frustrating. I initially believed that this was a bug that would be fixed, but 1 year later I see that nothing changed. I remember that Figma used to allow its users to search within different published libraries in a file - if they wanted to, not obligingly. Anyone else having the same issue and found any solution?

Update Instagram Post frame size to current standard

Hi! The default Instagram post frame in Figma is still a square (1080x1080), but Instagram’s most common post size is now vertical (1080x1350).It would be great to update the preset to reflect the current standard format. Thanks!

Export high res images without increasing dimensions

Hi, We’re trying to export some assets from Figma (either JPEG or PNG) is fine, but running into some issues with resolution. If we export at 1x, the image is low quality… however, if we export at 2x it doubles the dimensions of the image itself (for most ad platforms this is fine, but this time we need it in the exact dimensions) I’ve tried exporting at 2x and scaling down using other online tools, but the assets then become low quality again. Anyone else had this issue / managed to solve it?

Idea: Hide comments when hiding objects/sections

I have a section with a ton of comments on it that i’d like to hide, however when I hide the section, all of the comments are still visible floating in the empty space. I dont want to hide ALL comments, just those attached to the section that I’m hiding. It would be awesome if there was an option where if you hid an object with a comment attached, that it would hide the comment too. Thanks!

List of Fonts in selection (like selection colors)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When we select a particular template or frame on Figma on the right side it will show all the colours did we used on that frame or template that’s a really good feature, Including that can you people also try to show us what all fonts that we used in that template or frame I felt that could be really great move by Figma if you people show the list of fonts that we used in that frame this going to be a great initiative by FIGMA. I’m really apologetic If that feature already existed in Figma I didn’t know where it was? I explored but I couldn’t find that feature. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this? etc. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Zooming in to the selected layer or component.

I love Figma, I’ve finally been able to get rid of Illustator. However, Illustrator had a very useful function when working with a large artboard or a large number of artboards. I could zoom out to view the project, select any object(s) I was interested in, and then zoom+ in to or zoom-to-fit (focus) the selected objects. Currently, the zoom in Figma is always focused on the centre of the screen, meaning I need to reposition the viewing window as/before I zoom in to work.

🎨 Feature Request: FigPal Cemetery – A Place to Mourn and Remember

Summary April Fun Week has come and gone, and with it, our beloved FigPals have been snatched from this cruel digital plane. I humbly propose the addition of a FigPal Cemetery – a memorial space within Figma where we can honor the memory of our lost pixelated companions. Background For one brief, shining week, tiny joy-gremlins followed our cursors around the canvas. They watched us prototype. They witnessed our questionable auto-layout decisions. They were there for us in ways no plugin ever could be. And now? They're gone. Just gone. No goodbye. No grave. No closure. Proposed Feature A toggleable "Cemetery Mode" in Figma Tombstones for each FigPal variant (ghost variants optional) Visitors can leave notes ("You always hovered with such enthusiasm", "Rest in pixels") Epitaph generator (e.g., “Here lies Blurple the Bold. Died chasing a component into an infinite frame nest.”) Optional seasonal ghost sightings around Halloween 👻 Rationale The design community needs a space for collecti

Option to duplicate frame without copying annotations

Annotations in Dev Mode has been a game changer for efficient developer handoff. However, because duplicated frames automatically come with duplicated annotations, the annotations have become clogged and difficult to keep on top of. Reviewing all annotations to ensure all are needed in a frame and not just duplicated garbage has become a maintenance task. Please give an option to duplicate frames without their annotations!

Change opacity on a referenced color variable

So this boggles me. Why can’t I change (override) the opacity of a referenced color-variable, without having to detach it? To me a color and an opacity value are two different things. So if I want an opacity on my referenced color e.g. “Blue-950” I have to detach it and change the value to my liking, now it is not referenced to the variable collection anymore. A workaround is to add that “Blue-950” with the desired opacity in the variable collection and then reference that new “Blue-950-50-percent”. It is so annoying that you can’t change opacity on the fly without loosing reference!!!

Group Tabs

If you open a lot of projects the tab strip gets crowded. Chromium browsers solved this by allowing to group tabs, maybe Figma could do the same ?

Flush left align bulleted text

Every time I use bulleted text, the actual bullet point is a slightly indented and doesn’t perfectly align with the left margin. Are there any additional way to have greater control text indentation and control hanging bullets? Plug-ins? Thanks.

Support configurable permissions when sharing a presentation (like you can on prototypes)

When we share links to prototypes in Figma Design, we can customize the sharing to be visible to people outside of our company (great for usability testing). Permissions for slide presentations have to be set at the slide file level, which is annoying when you have the presentation open and you want to just adjust the sharing permissions from right inside the dialog.

Multiple independent strokes

You can currently set multiple stroke colours to an object, but they will share the same properties (thickness, position, etc.). My idea is that you should be able to set all stroke properties on each stroke: Make sense or am I missing something?

Add french azerty PC keyboard

Hello, I currently can’t use half of the keyboard shortcut because I use an azerty keyboard on PC. The current Figma azerty layout is only valid for mac. The layout in Figma My layout Out of the 3 essentials shortcuts, I cant do one of them at all and I have to remember the correct key for another, so I can only do 1 out 3 without thinking about it. There are two different layouts for UK keyboards (Mac and PC) already so it would be great to have the same for french! Thank you

Missing view/hide option in Grid section

Changing the location of annotations on the sheet

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects. Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏 Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another? These are different questions.

Add auto layout to Sections

There are times when having sections free of constraints is nice… but my design team has become addicted to using auto layout with frames. In many cases when using sections, it would be amazing to perfectly space the inner sections out using auto layout.
