Links in comments should be REAL links

… 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 ellipsis in the middle (max 2 lines).

Autolayout should support percentage based widths

Many people have said the same thing, but I’m here to recommend supporting percentages within auto layout. I’ve seen many people asking for the same thing.Percentage width auto layout would help us be more efficient. Auto layout “Fill container” is great for sections being sized equally (50/50 or 30/30/30).When we’re designing content with sections, the sections are generally not the same width as each other to indicate importance.Myself and many other designers would love to have autolayout support something like this:The main container has the same spacing all the way around Each section takes up a specifid percentage of the container (70% and 30%) When the modal grows and shrinks, those sections maintain their width of 70% and 30%  Without spacing With spacing 800px wide     1000px wide      This is what autolayout currently supportsIf we use auto layout, each section must be a specified width or the same width as the other sections.  It makes

Set the URL of a link using a property or variable

Hi! I’m trying to create an “author credit” component to document a design system. The component has a link to the original resource. All text will be set using component properties. Is it possible to create a property so the link URL is filled in the instance instead of using overrides?

Generative fill to expand image ratios

With all the new AI features in Figma, the only thing missing is generative expand. If we could reframe or crop images and have the tool generate the additional sections of the image—allowing us to freely change aspect ratios—it would be game-changing and bring Figma closer to becoming the true Photoshop killer.

Add branching and merging features to Figma Slides

Having a rolling slide deck always being the source of truth (without the need to create copies) makes it super easy for business use - however we are largely unable to actively work on slide changes in these existing documents because of the risk it’s currently being viewed or presented.Being able to create a hidden branch and merge back into the main document (same as Figma Design) would make handling changes a breeze.

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.

Extended/No Expiration Personal access tokens

before 🤗Previously, you could generate a [no expire] tokennow 😔If users rely on tokens to access the figma open api, forgetting to replace expired tokens can cause serious problems.The expiration date of the limited period will cause the figma token to no longer have usage value.

Figma Slides: Variables Menu

Managing local variables is pretty cumbersome and buried in menus. Bringing over the variable window found in Figma, would be big help in managing local variables.

Set OpenType features from plugin

Figma supports enabling/disabling some OpenType features from the UI.https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/4913951097367-Use-OpenType-features From the plugin API I can see which features are being enabled withhttps://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/TextNode-opentypefeatures/but the property is read-only. How can I programmatically enable/disable some OpenType features?Also, is there a reason why it’s accessible on UI but not Plugin API?

Figma Make - Usage analytics

HiAs a maintainer of our Figma team (not admin tho) I was wondering if there is any possibility to access Figma Make analytics to understand the following:How many Figma Make files have been created? Which designers/teams are creating Make files? How many prompts are being used in which Make file? Thank you

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

API endpoint to GET a list of team ids

We need a way in the REST API to get a list of Team IDs. A previous post (Suggestion: API endpoint for :team_id) was moved to ‘share an idea’ and then marked as solved, so I’m reposting sans solution, in hopes that we can get some votes. With the new library analytics API, this feels more relevant than ever. I want my users to pick the team their library is in from a list, and then pick the library file from a list of files. Trying to get end users to figure out how to get the library file ID is needlessly complicated to start taking advantage of the new API, when I could set up a system to let them pick it from a list. Almost all of the endpoints require a Team ID… (or require a file ID, the list of which requires a project ID, which requires a Team ID… etc.) So adding a Team API would unlock improved usability for almost every other REST API endpoint. Let’s make it happen.

Custom IDs for Prototyping Actions

For User Test Purposes It would be great to have custom IDs for each action a user performs on a prototype. Specially when using external tools that track clicks/links.i.e. if I want to track a click I can do it currently if the user navigated to a different frame that has a individual ID, but that is not possible if for instance the action is to open an overlay.By making it possible to add Trackable IDs to actions it would reduce by a lot the number of artboards needed. Thanks

Create SubFolders / Organizing Your Workspace and Adding Folders in Figma's Drafts Section

Figma is a powerful design tool that allows designers to create and collaborate on projects seamlessly. However, as the number of projects grows, organizing your workspace can become a daunting task. Finding specific projects can be difficult, especially if your workspace is cluttered and disorganized. Fortunately, Figma provides users with the ability to create folders and subfolders to keep their projects organized and easily accessible. One of the most useful features of Figma is the ‘Drafts’ section, which allows you to save incomplete or unfinished projects. This feature is especially handy when you need to work on multiple projects simultaneously, but don’t want to clutter your workspace with unfinished designs. The ‘Drafts’ section gives you the ability to save your progress, so you can come back to it later. To add a folder to your Drafts section, follow these easy steps: Click on the ‘Drafts’ section located on the left-hand side of your Figma dashboard. Click on the ‘Create

Suggestion: Direct Audio File Support (mp3, wav, etc.)

Dear team,Why is it basically not possible to simply drag and drop a sound file (mp3, wav, etc.) into the platform? This would make things much easier and would also save resources, since audio files require significantly less storage capacity compared to video.As a sound designer, it’s always an extra step for me to convert sounds into video formats—and what starts as a 1MB mp3 quickly turns into a 100MB video. This seems unnecessarily inefficient. On top of that, it doesn’t look very nice to have “empty” videos with just a black screen.Surely there must be a better solution. I’d be happy to support you with my expertise if that would be helpful.Best regards!

Clip Content in Layout should be ON by default.

I wasted an entire hour trying to figure out why the contents of my frame was bleeding out. Why is ‘Clip Content’ off by default? What a confusing UX decision. I don’t understand this change, it makes no sense. I haven’t seen anyone uncheck that box while working in Figma. Or if they do, they do it so rarely that it doesn’t make any sense to change it to off by default.

Figma Community needs more robust discovery features

Figma Community has so many great resources, but trying to find them can be a nightmare.Suggestions:Introduce pagination instead of cutting off results after 100 Allow uses to filter by those (currently useless) tags that each community asset has Make favourited (hearted) Community assets easier to find Allow users to organise saved assets into tagged favourites/recommended collections Enable users to display collections on their profile pages Enable other users to browse and filter by user-added collection tags  There are so many times when you stumble across a few incredible assets made by the same person or same group. It would be amazing to browse their recommended assets as well.

Mobile menu in Figma sites

Is there any work currently being done to allow a mobile navigation in a hamburger menu for Figma sites.None of the navigation blocks have this option. in the mobile component and even when I create components with an overlay interaction, the overlay will not appear when I use the component in Figma sites no matter what I try.This is a pretty big limitation to one of the most common patterns in mobile UI.Is there any way to accomplish this that I am missing?

Subject: After improving a prototype on figma make, transfer it to figma.

Hello,It would be interesting to be able to transfer an entire figma make prototype to figma in order to improve the design and make adjustments easily without losing the functionality of the prototype developed in figma make.To complete this feature, like many users, it would be useful to be able to save the entire project in GitHub.It would also be interesting to be able to upload modified files!

How to vectorise a pasted image / AI image generator shall make vector instead of png

Dear Figma team, I suggest a feature allowing vectorising pasted or placed image, as well as making AI generated image immediately vector instead of PNG. Please please add this feature ASAP. It’s the only reason I still have to keep Adobe Illustrator :( I hear vectorisation / tracing images is already available in BETA version .. But I can’t figure out how to get BETA version of Figma myself.
