A Lock for guides/rulers

As a user I want to lock the guides so that I dont accidently select or move them. This is frustrating. There are times when layout grids are are the correct tool to use and a time when guides/rules are the correct tool. When you are zoomed out it’s impossible to select elements without selecting or moving guides/rules. 🙂 …to everything turn turn turn turn…

Better color management in Slides templates

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.

Allow converting a Main Component back into a Frame/Group (Component Reset option)

Right now, once you create a Main Component, there is no way to convert it back into a normal Frame/Group/Autolayout. If a component is no longer useful, we are forced to use the workaround: create instance → detach → delete main component. This adds extra steps and slows down workflow. Request: Please add a simple option like “Remove Component” that instantly converts a main component back to its original state.This would save time, reduce friction, and improve cleanup when working with experimental or temporary components.

Customizable shortcuts

The main source of inspiration for this idea was to match the keyboard shortcuts themselves to different keyboard layouts. Right now, users who don’t use US keyboards have to memorize the location of the keys, rather than to use the actual character location to be able to use the shortcuts. Those involving this region are primarily the case: ABNT2 layout (Brazil). And here’s an example of confusing shortcuts: Although this problem could be solved by just rebinding the shortcuts to the actual character and not the location on the keyboard, I’ve noticed there are some other issues concerning key bindings. On this forum post, a member of the community asked for help on backing one layer level with a different shortcut from what Figma has right now. This makes the user adapt their workflow to the tool, and not the other way around — and that hinders efficiency. It would be nice if the tool itself provided some sort of customization on this regard. Although being a workaround, Mac users c

Tables in Figma Slides Ideas for Improvement

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.

Export as webP

Was told by a Figma rep that there are only 200+ requests for Figma to export as webP - and they didn’t sound positive that it would be integrated. So, I want to rally the community to push for this feature. There are already paid plugins out there that do this, so there must be a need. Show your support and let’s push the incredible team at Figma to incorporate it!

Commenting in embedded Figmas

Hi Community, We use Figma (iframe) embeds in our technical documentation extensively and we would like to enable our colleagues to leave comments via these embeddingss instead of visiting the design in a separate browser tab/ window. What’s the proper way to do that? thanks,

Critical: Interactive Navigation and Dynamic Transitions in Figma Slide Decks

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with the current limitations of Figma’s Slide Deck feature. As a tool celebrated for its UI/UX capabilities, it’s astonishing that Figma lacks fundamental functionalities that are already included in other design platforms. Key Issues: Absence of Interactive Buttons for Non-Linear Navigation: The inability to create buttons within slides that link to other slides severely restricts the creation of dynamic, user-driven presentations. This is a basic feature in tools like Canva, which allows for interactive menus and branching scenarios. Smart Animation for Linked Slides: Once non-linear navigation is added, Smart Animate should apply smoothly across these links to keep animations consistent. This avoids disrupting animations when navigating non-linearly, ensuring a seamless experience. Enhanced Linking Visualization in Grid View: The Grid View is a great feature, but to avoid the mess of overlapping arrows like in Figma’s Prototype mode,

Please Please do not ignore core “Design” feature requests

There a lot of new features coming to Figma every Config, like a Figma version of Powerpoint or Illustrator. But this forum is full of requests related to issues people face building UIs.Here are some recent Figma updates that are really amazing:Keep aspect ratio Reorder variable modesThese features cannot be replaced with plugins or external apps, and they save a lot of time for large projects. But, it took years to implement so much requested concepts. And now, with the new “Grid” feature (which is very much needed) — same situation: it is unusable in its current state. And there’s no hope it will usable when out of beta (as it was with variables). Don’t get me wrong, I really like accessibility check in the new color picker. But this can be done, a bit slower, with a plugin. And, there are lot of basic things, that cannot be done at all:to set a prototype size per flow. Why can’t I have my desktop mockups on the same Figma page as my mobile mockups? to use component variants for sta

Figma Buzz: Selected Export Format Not Applied to All Pages

In Figma Buzz, there's an issue with exporting pages to PDF: the selected format doesn't apply to all pages. I select the desired pages, click "Export," then set the format to PDF in the right panel and click "Export" again. However, all pages are still saved as PNG files instead of PDF. Even if I manually change the format to PDF for the first or second page, the export still results in PNG files for all pages. The only way to get a multi-page PDF is to manually set the PDF format for each page individually. With many pages (e.g., 20), this is extremely time-consuming. It would be great if the selected format (like PDF) could automatically apply to all pages during export.

"On Scroll" for prototyping

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?

Bring back the view/hide icon for Grid styles

Multiple Flows Should Have Different Device Frames

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

Temporary Freeze Mode for Components to Prevent Performance Issues During Editing

As a designer, I'm working on a large-scale Figma project with over 3 years of development. The file includes numerous deeply nested components used throughout the product.Even minor changes to a single component—such as swapping a fill for a stroke on a button—trigger severe performance problems:Figma freezes for 5–10 minutes as changes propagate across all instances. Another 5–7 minutes are needed to sync with the server. The tool becomes sluggish, with 1–3 second lag on every action due to background updates.This makes efficient work nearly impossible. I can't make consecutive changes without waiting for updates after each one, significantly hampering my workflow. Proposal:Implement a feature that allows users to temporarily freeze a component, preventing changes to the parent component from immediately affecting its instances.Implementation concept:Enable a "freeze" mode for the component. Make multiple edits without triggering updates to child instances. When finished, unfreeze th

Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

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.

Word & Character Count

How easy would it be for Figma to have a simple item in the right-click menu (and main menu) for character count or word count? Surely there are plugins like Word Counter, the one that I just tried and it doesn’t work 🤬. And easy enough to do it on the web. But how about I select the paragraph I worked with and see how many words I have? Right there where I am working? Also, if this exists…educate me. 😉

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.

Adjust share link preview for Teams

It seems that previously link previews were updated in slack to show what was being shared instead of the entire canvas. I missed that and now my links are just links, no preview. Which is better than previewing the entire canvas still.I have the same suggestion for link previews in Teams. Please stop showing the entire canvas in Teams previews and either show just what is being shared, or just don’t show anything.

So I have this document that we use for one-pagers in my company. It exists in portrait, but I’m taking an existing one and making it landscape.

So far I’ve tried removing the grids and resetting them up shutting down Figma and restarting closing all tabs and reopening needed tabs switching on/off grid view I’ve turned the colour of the grid opacity to 100% All result in Nothing Any help would be great

Add alt="" and aria-label="" to components

I have a component library that I want to add support for accessibility. Some of our components need to have HTML tags of alt=“” and aria-label=“”. I would like to have these in Figma for our writers to add content. I’ve looked at a ton of Figma to code plugins, and have tried using text properties, but with no success. Any ideas?
