Thanks for adding annotations to Design Mode. I have been spending the last day annotating some new design ideas. People who have access to the Figma file love that they can read come design rationale and interaction behaviors. For others, who do not have access, or do not use Figma it would be great if I can export the annotations associated with objects inside a frame. Thanks, K.

I’d like to be able to export a page from Figma to PDF. So far I see this works quite well in FigJam (you can either export all as one file or individual selected section, but Figma does not support exporting section, only frames can be exported. 😦 frowning: User story: As a teacher, I want my students to up-load their designs to our grading platform (Gradewok), so I can grade and archive their work. PDF works great for this because it can be viewed in Gradework. A local copy does not work well because that means I have to download the files and open them in Figma again. Making the grading proces way to time consuming. As a teacher I want my students to be able to easily export their work from Figma So I don’t have to guide them through a multi-step process, knowing that students are likely to delay their export to the last minute and will be in a time crunch when exporting (and upload) for their work, the current way of exporting is not sufficiently supporting this.

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

Hey! How can I transfer the AI generated Prototype in Figma Make to Figma Design and continue editing it manually there?

The library we are using in our company can be modified by several people in the team. When I want to publish changes to the library, sometimes I would see changes I didn’t make. Or sometimes it was a change I actually made that had an impact on another component, but it’s difficult to understand right away given that you can’t have a close look at what has changed exactly (the preview is so tiny!) It would be great to have some kind of before/after preview each time I hover one of the components in the “changes” list. It would reduce the risk of publishing wrong components that are not well built. Because right now I always have to ask my team if they have touched anything in the library which is getting tiresome to be honest. Thanks ✨

It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size. I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

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.

Hey Community, Using ComponentNode.key and ComponentNode.remote (boolean), I can detect remote components and import them via figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(). However, there’s no API to get the original source file name or library name of a remote component. Would it be possible to expose the component’s source filename or published library name in the Plugin API? This would help plugins display component origin info like the Figma UI does.

Hi All, we currently use the swap library feature for our styles. We were wondering tho if there is going to be support for swapping variables in the future as well? I know that Figma is currently working on extended collections, but the current omission of swapping variables based on a different library seems a bit weird

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

Hi Figma team, I'm reaching out with a request on behalf of several developers on our team who use Linux as their primary development environment. Currently, the MCP (Multi-Context Preview) feature is locked behind the Figma desktop app, which is only available for macOS and Windows. This poses a challenge for Linux developers who are unable to access or use MCP due to the lack of a supported desktop app. We’d love to see one of the following: A Linux version of the Figma desktop app to unlock parity across development environments. An alternative way to run an MCP server without the desktop app, such as a standalone CLI or server binary that can be installed independently. This would greatly improve the development experience and make Figma’s workflow more accessible to cross-platform teams. Thanks for considering this request!

Please release an official version for the LINUX operating system because the version on github is unstable and outdated. Please think of your Linux users.

The Problem When working on long artboards, particularly for mobile designs or landing pages, selecting the entire artboard is inefficient. If I am scrolled to the bottom of the page, I have to scroll all the way back to the top just to click the artboard's name/title. This breaks the design workflow for a very common action. Proposed Solution Allow a user to select an artboard from any point within its boundaries. A possible implementation could be: When the user hovers over an empty area of an artboard, its name (e.g., "iPhone 14 Pro - 1") appears as a clickable tooltip or overlay. Clicking this name would select the entire artboard frame. This provides a quick selection method without interfering with selecting other layers, as it would only appear over the artboard's empty background. Benefit This feature would significantly speed up workflow and reduce unnecessary scrolling, making the design process smoother for anyone working with long-format content.

Please include 3:1 arrow end terminations. 1:1 ratio arrows look goofy. On the left is what is currently available with Figma. On the right is a moc up of what I’m asking for.

Hello there, I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides and familiar to some colour. Please help me how to change the guideline colour like black, blue green and any other dark colour

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

Hi everyone Figma is the central hub for our design work, but two critical parts of the product development lifecycle often happen in separate, disconnected tools: user research and font creation. I'm proposing two powerful new features that could bring these essential workflows directly into Figma: 'Forum': An integrated tool for creating and analyzing user surveys. 'Type': A professional tool for designing and creating typography (fonts).

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

I really think this needs to be fixed, or at least there should be an option to turn it off. When you add a hyperlink to an object in Figma, it shouldn’t automatically open in the browser when you click it. I know you can hold Command on a Mac to stop this from happening, but that’s not something most users would know right away. It’s not exactly intuitive, especially for people who are just reviewing designs. A simple setting to control this would make things a lot smoother…

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.

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? I can’t resize sticky notes manually - this would be really nice though. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but it feels like a missing Feature. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? Yes. Post a Sticky… try to change it. 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? I can only test it in the browser Mircosoft edge (company policy…) 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? Mircosoft Edge Version 90.0.818.42

It seems that it is only possible to change the radius of a rectangle by using the handles in a newly drawn or pasted rectangular shape but it is not possible to adjust the radius of a frame. There are also no way in the right panel to enter a specific value. Use case: I am pasting a mobile design from a Figma Design file into Figma Slides and want to round the corner of the frame and that is not possible.
