Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

Figma Motion is spectacular, but as a new tool, it still has a few workflow gaps.One I’ve encountered is that once an animation contains several layers, the timeline becomes difficult to scan because track order is fixed.I mocked up a concept that would let you drag tracks up or down in the Motion panel, similar to reordering layers, without affecting visual stacking or animation timing.The change is purely organizational. It would allow designers to keep related tracks together, make the timeline easier to read, and simplify working through complex animations.Here’s a quick animated mockup of the idea. Would this improve your workflow?  

Hi, the checkbox “Show in exports” in the “Fill” section is not controllable yet from the plugin API. It would be great if this can be exposed via plugin API so it can be automated in plugins. This would also allow Figma Assistant to use it, it currently can’t. My real world use case would be in automating tasks surrounding icon libraries. Thank you! 

I would really like to have the option of adding more than one tag to an annotation. For example now i’m adding QA annotations by categories, but I would also like to add another tag for each one which states the urgency of the annotation.  Two more options that might work are either adding a fill color option to the annotation, or add a customizable status drop down to each annotation. 

Love the new Typography Variable release, but it falls short for our use case. Our goal is to use variable modes to switch styles between our 3 brands. 2 of those brands use all caps for headings, the other brand uses sentence case. We need to be able to bind a variable to the case of a character style (As typed, Uppercase, Lowercase, Title case, Small caps). Without this capability, when switching modes from brand 1 to brand 2 for example, we are getting the default case for the character style (sentence case coming from brand 1). We would then have to go through our designs and manually type in all caps for all instances of headings in brands 2 and 3. Certainly not ideal and will lead to inconsistencies / places where manually typing in all caps are missed if we went this route. Until binding a variable to the case of a character style is an option, using typography variables isn’t feasible for our use case.

Description: Currently, Figma allows switching between different Modes (e.g., Light/Dark) within a single variable collection. However, there is no built-in functionality to switch between entire Variable Collections dynamically. This limitation makes it challenging to manage multiple themes efficiently, especially in large-scale design systems where different themes (e.g., Default, Gaming, Minimal, Custom) share a common structure but require separate sets of values.Proposed Feature: Collection SwitchingWe propose adding an option that allows users to switch entire Variable Collections in the same way they can switch Modes. This would enable designers to define multiple themes and toggle between them seamlessly without needing to manually update Aliases or duplicate components.How It Would Work:Collection Selector: Similar to the Mode switcher, users can select a Collection (e.g., Theme 1, Theme 2, Custom Theme) from a dropdown in the Variables panel. Automatic Updates: When switching

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%). Interestingly …You can use a variable for letter-spacing ( which accepts a number variable - but reads it as a percentage) - the challenge remains that line heights by default are absolute not percentages - even though you can input a percentage. Percentages allow greater flexibility and less calculations Word around would be to allow formula in a variable e.g. =[variable] * 1.5 Or figuring out a way for the line height to be toggle between absolu

Hello Figma Community 👋I wanted to raise a question regarding the monthly AI credit system and also share a suggestion that could benefit many users.Currently, on the Professional plan, we receive 3,000 AI credits per month, and as confirmed by support, unused credits reset at the end of each billing cycle and do not roll over.However, in real-world usage, credit consumption is not always consistent every month. Some months require heavy usage, while others involve lighter workloads depending on project timelines.📌 Example Scenario:Month 1: Allocated credits: 3000 Used credits: 1800 Unused credits: 1200 (expired) Month 2: Project demand increases Required credits: 4200 Available credits: 3000 only Result: Need to purchase extra credits, even though unused credits expired in the previous month.This makes planning usage difficult, especially for freelancers, small teams, and agencies where workloads vary.

Hi Celine- Are there any plans to remove this constraint? We have container frames with a handful of separate screen specs in them and would like to designate certain screens as ready, but not the entire set. It’d be great to not have to have the frame or instance top-level, but allow nesting and still mark contained elements ‘ready for dev’. Thanks!

Hello,some feedback from my side regarding Folders, I like the options of a nestable folder, but I find it hard to navigate to the files I’m looking for. The folders are named, but the file thumbnails that were visible with Projects were a huge readability feature that I’m really missing now.I was searching for it in settings, but couldn’t find a way to set it. I actually added a description to a folder, but did not actually see not one place that the description was shown? This part is especially confusing.If I could make an improvement suggestion to a current implementation it would be to have a setting to show or not to show some folder contents thumbnails, similar to the previous implementation.Fingers crossed this can be done!

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

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?

When I started sharing AI Skills with teammates, I expected teammates to be able to edit a published AI skill and republish their changes without requiring the original owner to make every update.Problem: published skills are shared for use, but ongoing maintenance is blocked when only one person can update the source skill.Impact: this slows iteration, creates ownership bottlenecks, and makes shared team workflows harder to manage.Desired behavior: teammates with the right workspace permissions can open the published skill in Manage skills, edit it, and use Publish changes to update the shared version.

According to Cursor, this feature API does exist but it’s not allowed. Until we fully trust and understand how AI tools can help us with our work, we need a way to revert back to our designs prior to having any AI tool update it. Client: Cursor + remote MCP (https://mcp.figma.com/mcp) Tool: use_figma API: figma.saveVersionHistoryAsync(title, description?) Error: "saveVersionHistoryAsync" is not a supported API Debug UUID from our attempt: 9e76fe30-de7b-4528-b50e-a337ac24dd14 Use case: named “before Cursor edits” checkpoints with the user prompt in the description

It would be great if dev could export without rounded corners applied and or have some export flexibilities

 The `list_shader_fills` tool can only reference built-in shaders. There should be a path to make user-defined shaders accessible via `list_shader_fills`.

Hello, It would be more than interesting to be able to create variable at a component scope. And of course instance to inherit those variables. Why ? it would be a good way to organize variables. One file can have a lot of different components and subcomponents = a lot of variables. it would give us the possibility to ease prototype creation by preparing upfront variables in components library. it is a good way to get rid of variants. I mean variants are nice but variables are far better :). it would give the possibility to create different set of variables corresponding to different state of the components faster.

Hi @Figma_support Issue If you choose unevenly spaced objects, Figma doesn’t allow you to enter a numeric figure to evenly space these. It does if the objects are evenly spaced though. Example Let’s say you have 3 objects on the canvas, each at different distances from each other and you want to set the vertical spacing between each object to 32px. You need to evenly distribute the objects first then then set the 32px spacing. Solution Cut the need to evenly distribute step by adding horiz and vert spacing inputs fields when unevenly space objects are selected. Mock up Thank you!

Hi Figma team, It would be very useful if it was possible to crop/zoom-in an image while using the fill option for responsiveness designs, and then deciding if it’s the width or height of the cropped image that should be the constraint. Here’s an example with a pink area showing what part of the image could be visible based on the selected constraint:  Current problem being a cropped image will be deformed if its container change size, which happens  when using responsiveness and auto-layout. Looking forward to see this improvement being worked on! 

Currently, when you draw any shape, the shape becomes selected. Makes total sense, since I would likely want to change the color etc of the thing I just created. But the same is not true of connectors. After drawing a connector, the previous shape is still selected. When I want to change the color of the connector I just drew, I keep accidentally changing the fill of the shape instead. It’s not only extra clicks to change the connector color, but also prone to user error due to the inconsistent design of the property bars and the inconsistent behavior across objects.

The recent update of the Make panel UI has seemingly removed the ‘Go to Source’ button when in edit mode. You used to be able to select an element in the app, then go to the source code.The code would be highlighted for you and you can then make manual edits without the struggle of scrolling and navigating through the code to find the element you want to edit. Please bring back this feature!!

I'm really enjoying the Actions menu! It would be awesome to have the option to access the Assets tab directly as well, just like we can currently access the Assets left panel with a keyboard shortcut. This way, we could set a custom shortcut to open the Assets tab directly from the Actions floating menu.  ​@Figma_Desktop🙏

💡 Feature Idea for Figma: “Fonts Used in Frame”I’d love to see a feature in Figma that automatically shows all fonts used within a selected frame.For example:Fonts UsedInter — 12 layers Regular — 7 Medium — 3 Bold — 2 Roboto — 4 layers Poppins — 2 layersIt would be even more useful if we could click a font, see which layers are using it, and replace it across the selected frame.Suggested workflowSelect Frame → View Fonts → Identify Usage → Replace FontA Suggestions section could also highlight:⚠️ Missing fonts 💡 Too many font families 📏 Inconsistent text sizes 🎨 Similar text styles/colorsThis could make design audits and maintaining consistency much faster.Would you find this useful in Figma? What would you add to this feature?#Figma #FigmaCommunity #FigmaFeature #UIDesign #UXDesign #DesignSystems  

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.
