Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Currently we get the Figma file name as a Tab title when we Run/Present any prototype. Now if on that page I had designed multiple Flows (Start points) then there in no way while having a look on Tab title that which prototype flow is presenting/running.Also while hovering that Tab can we show the full file + Page + Flow name in tooltip ?

Introduce password protection and viewer analytics for Figma Slides to enhance security and provide insights into presentation engagement, similar to DocSend. Key Features: Password Protection: Set and manage passwords for shared slides. Viewer Analytics: Track view counts and engagement metrics (e.g., time spent on each slide). Access demographic data like viewer location and device used (desktop, mobile). Why It Matters: Integrating these features directly into Figma Slides streamlines workflows, eliminating the need for third-party tools and making Figma a more powerful platform for design and presentation needs.

Hi, it would be great if we could hide/remove rows/columns if all the content inside the row/column is hidden/deleted. That is, the grid’s dimensions get adjusted dynamically based on the content instead of being fixed always.For example: In this 3x3 grid, if I delete/hide “C”, then the second row should be deleted/hidden such that the grid looks like a 2x3 grid instead. Like this: Instead, it currently looks like this: The second row does not get automatically hidden/deleted since the Grid dimensions are fixe

Figma Make is the best prototyping tool I have seen so far (yes, better, or at least more time efficient, than V0 and Claude Code for now). It also has an integration with Github, which is suuuper cool. Now… it would be REALLY gamechanging, if the connection with Github was a two way sync. If edited code could be pulled back into Figma Make, for team collaboration across multiple platforms. I understand that this is really tricky, because Figma Make can't interpret all types of code… but I'm putting it out there… 

The new additions to the grid layout are really awesome and very helpful! Thanks for that!It is now more like I’m used to having a grid in software.Now I have another proposal to make it even better.Sometimes I need to select all cells in a column, for example set the alignment inside that column.Currently I have to select all items in that column one by one.It would be very handy if columns or rows are represented in the Layers (left sidebar) so selection of cells would be easier. Maybe also add a toggle to switch between row and column seelction.

I haven’t seen many posts about this, only one from 6 months ago that’s now locked for some reason. When working with Auto Layout (fill to width/height) and aspect ratio locked, I’ve noticed decimal points in the element’s height/width (I have pixel snapping on). I tried Round to pixel but it’s not working. It would be so great if the Snap to Pixel Grid function worked with Locked Aspect Ratio! In my example below, I set the frame to fill the width but locked the aspect ratio so it doesn’t stretch the content. Unfortunately, this results in a decimal-point height, and with auto-layout this results in objects below this component to be placed on decimal points. When exporting as an image (which is a technical requirement), the decima

I think that’s the new feature “nested components” need to be more functional. For example: I have a card with nested component button. But the only parameter that i need to edit is icon on this button, all other settings useless in this component. I thinks it will be cool if i can disable some of nested component’s paramters like show icon or btn size and leave only icon-type parameter. And it will be more cool if i can make preferred icons for nested component (in this card i can choose between filled like or unfilled)

I know that I can export as SVG from draw.io and then drag and drop in FigJam but this does not allow me to edit. I would like to import a flowchart from draw.io in an editable format. Thanks.

By default, all exports are named after the Board.I am copying the section title when I prepare to export.It seems like a better default rule to have the section title be the filename.

I can’t seem to find a way to Hide all lower levels of my mind maps. I click on the arrows, and nothing happens. It’s making a mess. I can’t use it for practical reasons, presentation-wise it’s kinda frustrating. Is there any viable way already for me to do it? If it’s yet to come, please do it 😍 it’s a game changer for me and many others who are still waiting for it

Hi Figma team,At the company I work for, we often send design PDFs to clients who aren't familiar with Figma prototypes. Email is our main channel, but exported PDFs are often way too large—even when using the TinyImage compressor plugin, which is slow and not always effective.It would be incredibly helpful to have:An option to disable font embedding.Basic PDF compression settings (e.g. image quality).A way to export text as vectors without manually outlining everything.Improving PDF export would really ease delivery for teams who rely on email-based workflows. Thanks!

Miro has this down quite nicely. You can create swimlanes there, which serve as a grouping mechanism, and it makes it easier to create complex workflows. My workaround right now is to simply have different sections, which works OK. However, when creating new shapes (through the connector icon next to the shape), it keeps suggesting objects outside the current section. To be honest, if this were fixed, and sections in FigJam could. just be swapped / extended (sort of like a table), this would solve 99% of the drawbacks I currently see in FigJam for that use case! Keep building the best product on earth!  

I want a shortcut to show and hide / expand or collapse the pages and layers panel. If I got one I’d want the pages panel to open and close by keyboard shortcut. It’s too much work to constantly open and close the pages panel. Overall, I’d say that the pages panel needs a UX review. We’ve now got so many pages that it’s a tough experience, but I’d say that if I could choose a page from a dropdown list as opposed to opening and closing the dang panel everytime that would be awesome. Or, ideally what if when I hit page up or down the magic menu (command + p) or whatever it is called displays all pages that I can search on quickly or use the arrows to thumb through them. Some mail applications to do this today for UG folders and it’s way nicer than trying to find a folder. Maybe use that AI money for things like this and not trying to tell me what names my buttons ought to be. ;) 

There are times when having sections free of constraints is nice… but my design team has become addicted to using auto layout with frames. In many cases when using sections, it would be amazing to perfectly space the inner sections out using auto layout.

Basically, I want to be able to take something that I’d previously made into a component and “uncomponentise” it. Currently, I have to either delete it (not good for version control) or make an instance, detach the instance and then delete component. I just want to be able to turn the component off so that it’s no longer in libraries etc.

Would be great if there was a way to be able to change the sort/order in which auto layout components are shown, without having to detach or redo all the work to edit the components. For example: eg. using a table or list component, and being able to move row 3 to be row 4. Current native experiences forces you to either: Detach the component (not ideal) and resort Redo all the content for both rows 3 + 4 Neither of these are ideal from a system or efficiency perspective.

Some files have a Variable panel with a Collections dropdown menu. Other files do not have the dropdown menu. Does anyone know why this happens? See attached. I am in Figma desktop app for macOS, in Professional Plan.I prefer the dropdown menu, but do not see an option to enable it in my files where it is missing.

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

Currently, annotations only allow you to select the lowest level layers it can find. Many, many times I just want to document something on a whole group or frame, and it doesn’t look like this is possible, which seems like a huge miss.

Find & Replace text is incredibly helpful, but the functionality can have unhelpful/unintended consequences when updating text across components and instances. Current behavior: Find and replace does not distinguish or prioritize between replacing text in parent components, component instances, or strings not within components. This means that if text is replaced within instances, it treats those strings as overridden, and changes to the text in the parent component will no longer automatically update in those instances. Expected behavior:Find and replace text in components before instances (including instances within other components) and update search results before replacing text in component instances. This allows component instances to have relevant text updated by the parent component when possible and not overwriting text strings within instances that shouldn’t be customized. 

Hey guys,Can you make the billing section more viible? Everytime I have to pay for Figma I forget where the invoicing is, I literally spend 10 mintutes to find the billing section to pay my invoice, when I have to do it manually. Every time.

How about the option to choose which export file type is the default when exporting graphics? (i.e. SVG or PNG rather than JPEG) … this would make our devs REALLY happy! 🤩

I have a problem where I have noticed that when a designer detaches a design and it is using hidden components within it, that it ends up decoupled from the library… I was always under the impression that since it is a component in the library, that if it was detached it would still be able to receive updates via these hidden components… I have realized this is not the case.I think a new feature request should be made to allow hiding the components from the asset panel view (which is what people actually want from the hiding feature) without losing the link to the library.If the feature intent is to not publish these components at all, I am not understanding why when we detach, why those hidden components don’t detach as well? This is what gave me the false notion that they would still be able to receive updates, since they are still an attached component -- but attached to the wind it seems...Design system maintainers are not looking to not fully publish these
