Hi dear Figma teamI’m writing you as an advanced designer. Why not adding a arrow connector to make it easier to put both advanced designs and flows in a file? something like what already happens in FigJam... 

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!!!

Currently, Figma Slides on the mobile app only allows users to view and run slides. However, when giving a presentation, many of us connect our computer to a projector to display the slides while wanting to use our phone as a companion device to view presenter notes. It would be extremely helpful if the Figma mobile app could sync in real time with the slides being presented on desktop, so that the presenter can:  See their notes directly on the mobile app Follow along with the current slide in sync with the presentation Use the phone as a discreet presenter tool, without needing a second screen or printed notes  This would bring Figma Slides closer to the functionality of other professional presentation tools and make it much more practical for real-world use. I hope the Figma team will consider adding this feature, as it would significantly impro

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file

i believe put design and figjam diagram in single file better than different file.for example,  i can create and edit task flow next to UI, instead of copy and paste back and forth.same goes for figma slide.

As a regular Figma full seat user, I couldn’t use all the credits during the holidays and when I fell sick for a week. Can we please have credits rollover so that we get to use what we paid for?Many Thanks!

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

Why is this impossible while logged in? or without switching to incognito mode?this seems to be an insane user experience when I just want to see what’s new real quick or perhaps check pricing or any other normal or sane reason to visit your front page!Just add a link to the figma menu? or even in the help button? 

For example searching keyword ‘Tooltip’ here should find 2 results But only one is returned

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

Every time I switch back to Draw the tools color resets to white. Am I missing something? A product that really understands designers perhaps 🤔?Jokes apart, it feels “rude” to forget the colors I so carefully picked just a couple clicks previously.

I need variable for corner smoothing !

ProblemCurrently, there’s no way to bind the Flex Direction property (horizontal / vertical) to a variable or boolean condition. This makes it impossible to dynamically switch layouts inside a component using variables or modes. Designers are forced to create duplicate components or manually toggle the direction. Proposed SolutionAllow flexDirection to be controlled via a variable or boolean property, similar to how alignment, spacing, and padding can already be managed.Example syntax:flexDirection = isVertical ? "VERTICAL" : "HORIZONTAL" Expected Benefits  Enables adaptive, single-source components without duplicates. Improves token-driven and responsive design workflows. Makes component logic consistent with existing variable bindings.   Priorit

I have successfully rasterized last Friday. But two days later, which is now Jan 13 2026, the Rasterize selection disappeared in object menu. I can only find it by searching Actions… Is there anyone can help me look into it, thank you so much!i use macbook pro 15-inch, 2018, Vetura 13

Summary: Allow edits to your local dictionary. Details: You can accidentally add a misspelled word to your local dictionary in Figma, but they don't give you as the user or their support / engineering team to remove it. That misspelled word will just never be spelled checked for you in your added misspelling again. Our engineering team has confirmed that it's not currently possible to remove words that have been added to your local dictionary. They have also confirmed that it's not yet on the road map but the team may address it in a quality week. Help article content: "Once a word has been added to your dictionary, it cannot be removed." is why I'm reaching out for help to get it removed.

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

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.

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

It would be really helpful to have the ability to group opened Figma tabs in the top bar, allowing users to create collapsible and expandable folders, similar to the tab groups in Google Chrome.

I’ve been a long-time user, but there is a significant quality-of-life improvement I’ve been longing for regarding file organization.Currently, "Drafts" acts as a catch-all for everything. I view it as an extension of my personal desktop, but not every file warrants being a formal "Project." The lack of organization creates visual chaos with dozens of files accumulating the moment I log in. It would be a game-changer to have the ability to create simple folders within Drafts. It doesn’t need to be fancy—just a basic directory structure to group files like "UI Kits," "Design Systems" or "Templates" would be enough to keep the workspace organized.Additionally, regarding workflow efficiency: it would be incredibly helpful to have a specific tab or filter strictly for recently executed prototypes. Often, I just want to re-run a prototype I was just testing without digging through the source files or cluttering the main view.

When you have a lot of files open in the sigma app it gets really difficult to find your file. You do have the ability to use emojis in the filename, but this does not work when you pinne files. Would it be possible to at least be able to set a dedicated favicon to each files you have pinned so that you can easily visualy identify each files?

When I write create long paragraphs with text tool on the Figma I get the unnecessary spaces on edges of the paragraph like below. But I think if there a hyphenation feature (like Adobe Photoshop) it could add dashes automatically on the texts and fix this issue.

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Just like driving width and height, I want to dynamically position elements in weird ways too. But not weird like this:
