When the title of a page is wider than the column it gets an ellipsis. Right now the only way to see the full title is to edit the title since there is a limit on how wide you can make the sidebar.Please just add a tooltip to titles that are wider than the column, IE when they get ellipsis.
I think it will be very nice to edit files on the iPad.
In Previous (old UI) of Figma many things was clear and straightforward.Here is a small example from Pages list on the left sidebarProblem: Now on UI3 the title “Pages” doesn’t look like a title, sometimes I am confusing it with the list. Because in some of project I give a name “Pages” to my page. So first Pages should look like a title not a part of the list Second problem of UI3 is no checkmark icon on selected page (on left sidebar). Previous (old UI) had a checkmark on current page. But on UI3 it has just background which is same as hover color. There are much more things which was better than new UI3. Comparing UI
It has always been my ambition to become a nurse, but when it came the day of the HESI examination, I freaked out. I simply could not figure out where to start and felt so much pressure. One evening, I was browsing and came across a HESI exam help site with practice exams and ideas for studying. I thought maybe I should try this. I started to follow the suggestions step by step, and my confidence built. When the day of the exam finally arrived, I was nervous, but I was prepared. A few days after the completion of the exam, I was able to view my results - I passed! I was relieved, and it proved to me that with the right help and a lot of work, anything you wish to achieve may be obtainable. Now I am one step closer to my goal and more motivated than before.
I’ve been trying Figma and Figjam to replace Milanote or Miro Board and it’s close but not quite there yet, especially for using video in either Figma or Figjam. Below are some pros I’ve found and some suggested improvements for both Figma and Figjam when it comes to dealing with image and video especifically. Figjam:Feels a bit better for sharing video for feedback because it can be played directly on the board, but then there’s no option to showcase the file name and that is very important for Motion Graphics or 3D animators because we need to be able to reference the file we have locally. Milanote displays the filename automatically and I think it would be great if we could have the option to showcase the file always, or not, or maybe only on hover. The fact that we can type text and DIRECTLY tag other people without needing to create a comment is great, especially for feedback. Playback controls to loop and scrub through the video would be amazing as well. Being able to see a still
Hi Figma staff, This might be a dumb question but why doesn’t a keyboard shortcut exist for ‘Go to main component’ ? Working with components and instances is a core workflow so wouldn’t a keyboard shortcut be as important as ‘Create component’ and ‘Detach instance’? Thank you in advance!
It was the final semester of university, and the weight of upcoming online exams was starting to feel impossible. We had no idea where to begin—should we focus on particular subjects or just cram with practice tests? The stress was building, and that's when my brother suggested Do My Online Exam, a service he used when he was in our shoes. We were unsure at first, but decided to give it a shot. They helped us sort through our study material, gave us tailored practice exams, and made the whole process feel more manageable. Thanks to their support, we entered the exams feeling confident and ready to take on the challenge.
I dont know who design this slide editor, but it is way too stupid no function to apply the same background to all page. Even when we search on the help its not there. For this one reason is enough to avoid it. Rubbish
I want to share my figpal with others, but I’m not sure where they are. Can you add the little people icon bubbles to the corner of projects and files so we can see where active users are to let our figpals collaborate together?
Hi Figma,As the title suggests, the main use case for UI 3 as a product designer like myself is utilizing AI features, background removal, and layer renaming. However, beyond these, the UI itself presents cognitive challenges.Here’s a small comparison between UI 2 and UI 3: UI 3 has more complex icons. (Why use a border in the typography icon, especially in such a small space?) Wasted space and visual distraction. (I don’t understand—why does everything need to be wrapped in a background? This adds unnecessary layers of complexity and distraction.)
If some layers in my component are currently assigned to a boolean property, Figma now blocks my ability to re-assign these layers to a different boolean property without first locating every layer with an existing property and removing the prop assignment. This is incredibly frustrating, because there is no easy way to select these layers. I instead have to dig through (potentially hundreds of) layers to figure out which ones have properties so I can remove them, then use multi-edit to assign them all to the correct new property. This could be a quick thing for Figma to fix, by means of a couple solutions:Allow re-assignment of layer properties without having to first remove existing assignments. Make it possible to select all layers assigned to a property. This is already possible with variants — I can click the button next to the listed variant to “select _ variants.”Here’s an example of my current experience:After merging variants from 2 components, I accidentally now have 2 proper
‘Absolute position’ is now called ‘ignore auto layout’, ‘space between’ is called ‘auto’ and there are probably a few other settings that Figma has applied its own naming to.Why?It’s bad enough that layout and styling in Figma does not behave like CSS and HTML in many cases, which means that we have to completely rethink our approach to design. Now we have learn new terminology as well.Even for somebody who doesn’t know CSS, I would assume that it hardly makes any difference which term they learn. It would even be an advantage if they learn the correct CSS terminology, so if they do learn CSS one day (which, in my opinion, would be highly beneficial), they don’t have to learn new terminology for everything.If I could make a wish, it would be to please align terminology and behaviour between Figma and real-world CSS wherever possible.
Hello Figma team,Thanks for this beautiful solution.Just want to say that is in the title.
The keyboard shortcut to Zoom to 100% is quite uncomfortable. Hitting Command + 0 is just so unnatural, it requires both hands, or moving one hand to around mid-keyboard to use the other Command key and the 0.I know this is pretty standard, I don’t really blame whomever made the call.Now: 1) you cannot edit the shortcut with macOS’s Keyboard Shortcuts feature (I can’t overwrite it to ⌘1), which is quite lame, 2) nor can I set it up within Figma’s Preferences. This could be a very cool addition. Let users choose keyboard shortcuts.To be fair, having ⌘1 go to the Home tab in Figma makes no sense. Why would I want that easy, comfortable shortcut to do that? I barely go to the Home tab.Anyways, I hope this can be moved up the chain.Thanks.
If I have an item or component and send it to a different page, it often takes me several minutes to figure out where it went.
Figma just added an icon to collapse all layers. A thing that has existed in keyboard commands forever. but once again...they did not provide the reverse. Ability to expand all layers. why does Figma only do anything halfway? maybe instead of focusing on things like silly “FigPals” they could work on the million half-finished shortcomings in the product? instead of a cute temporary bunny, I would like to be able to control which properties of a nested component are adjustable. but Figma is making play toys. this is what my enterprise team license is getting me.
This is great! Thank you very much!Also measurment
I would like to learn about User interview questions how to prepare, can some one help me with the suggestions to create the launguage learning app ??
This new pricing model for Dev Mode $35/seat/month just to inspect already finished designs is so out of touch with reality, I have no words. We have an enterprise Figma license and we capped Editor seats to a minimum because it’s hard to sell to C-level. This limits UX maturity and spread of Figma usage in product development across the whole org. We have about 4x as much full-stack developers as we have designers, who OCCASIONALLY need to inspect designs. How the bleep are we supposed to sell those seats to C-level executives? This is completely unrealistic and limits not only spread of Figma usage, but design-led product development in our org even more. If we are to keep Figma, all of our designers are left with one option, to extensively micro-document each design for devs to read as a book. Losing huge chunk of our UX time. What a self-destructing pricing strategy from Figma. What do we do now?
A tiny tiny detail that would make life a lot easier would be auto-tabbing the cursor’s focus to the search bar when I switch from “Custom” to “Libraries”. 99% of the time when working in a large design system I need to search for the colour/variable I want, there’s too many to scroll through. But I always have to make that extra click into the search bar and I often naturally start typing only to realise it isn’t tabbed (accidentally pressing shortcut/hotkeys along the way).Whereas you compare to the File/Asset content switcher it DOES auto-tab once you switch into Assets so its not consistent.Small interaction would save a lot of time! 🙏
We used to have annual seats for our own staff, and use monthly seats for adhoc collaborators - but with the new billing system Figma has changed everything to annual seats, making our total expense explode! It seems there is no way to degrade an annual plan. Only a way to grow, and feed Figma’s greedy pocket!
The cursor is entirely too small now and feels extremely latent at the new angle. Please, Figma, don’t fix something that’s not broken! The cursor is a tool, not a pointer.Also the addition of light fields on a dark background is fairly disorienting and clutters the surroundings of all info inside the fields. Slows down workflow and makes info less “glance-able”.
it’s really really not convenient for me
The status on sections for ‘Ready for dev’ are great but it would be really useful if we can have more or the ability to create custom ones for the design phase. Working in a client environment it would be hand to have the ability to mark a section as the ‘Approved designs’ with a date stamp. other useful ones would be ‘On hold’, ‘Shortlisted’ and ‘Archive’ but the ability to make our own would be brilliant. Cheers.
Oh my godness.I’ve tried a new version of figma slides and loved it so much! The possibility to download presentation both in PDF and PPTX is the state-of-art feature actually. Collaborating killed me because it’s basically stunning. Templates are fire too!!!I’ll never use anything but Figma slides.Thank you Figma Team for creating this! Have a nice day!
