I recently did a lot of cleaning up my company's Figma file structure and unfortunately comments can't be moved from one file to another. I've consolidated a lot of files into one to make it easier, but I have to manually re-write the comments so I don't lose them.
As it’s shown in the attachments, when there is arrows from box to box in FigJam, and each arrow is in different color, the top one show both sides as related to it although each arrow is a regular one with one side of head
This is currently the brightest page on the entire internet. It’s somehow brighter than Gmail. Come on!
The tool appeared with all my acquaintances of designers, but I do not have it. How long to wait? He submitted an application to Beta. Updates are set by the latter
Would love post its to stick to the different elements in the page, kinda like Comments are tied to an element which has a comment assigned to it.
As per the last update, when closed captions are activated while starting a conversation, the popover that comes up showing the captions has a very small width value, making the text unreadable and it cannot be resized unfortunately.It would be great to also drag around the window so it can placed anywhere on the screen just as other Figma modals.
Hello, I’m generally pretty chill about product updates, and I understand that companies need to evolve and improve their features Figma included. But honestly, I think you're heading in the wrong direction when it comes to prioritisation.Obviously, us the users don’t get insight into your development plans until changes are released. But I urge you to reconsider your product roadmap in terms of real, tangible benefits for designers.We’re the ones paying you after all…The new UI3 update introduces several changes that just don’t align with fundamental design principles. Since the rise of tools like Photoshop in the 1990s, there has been an industry standard in layout alignments, UI iconography, and UX best practices. Disrupting these conventions for the sake of change feels counterproductive.I understand the ambition to create the best possible software, but some of these decisions feel like change for change’s sake. With UI3, it genuinely feels like I’m driving in reverse, dealing wit
ContextMy company heavily uses Figma variables and are looking to build out multiple collections each having a unique set of modes. One example would be around Buttons—two collections would be made, one for states and another for size. There would be many other collections that would need to be created to create a comprehensive design system. Caveat: This use case may be an edge case or unique to me.ProblemThe current variable window is very inflexible:Can’t view your list of collections outside of a dropdown feels clunky Can’t resize the left panel with the list of variables Can’t reorder modes (I may be missing something here on why that is built that way)SuggestionsWould be nice to treat the variables’ left panel like the main pages and layer panels Collections could be treated like pages and would be housed in a resizable section above the variables which would be treated like the layers The same way we interact with the pages and layers panels would be the same way we interact wit
It’s been a while now but often when collaborating on the same schema, the width of my arrows are not the same as that of someone else even though I started it from a copy/paste of an existing object that had an arrow connected to it. The only way I can fix that is by copy pasting the arrow that has the width I want and using it afterwards.
the Windows app is really crap, it is nothing more than a webview around the website, it is not a real, full feature, efficiente native app ☹️
I use a big screen, and Figma’s window is usually maximized. As a result, I very often miss various popups because they’re way too small and appear somewhere in the corner where I don’t look.For example, I just tried to insert a link with a shortcut and it didn’t work, a hint appeared in the corner, but I only saw it in half an hour, and only because another window was on top of Figma and that corner was the only visible part.Here’s how it looks for me (and this is a unusual example with an almost empty page, usually pages contain a lot of elements and I pay even less attention to the screen margins).
I love the idea of being able to populate screens/wires with sample content, but why can’t I tailor a prompt to get the correct content first? Currently, I have to select the frame, press “replace content” and then wait for it to change everything before clicking “make changes” to then provide it the context needed to replace the content with information specific to the app I design for. Considering AI provides better outcomes with more context, why make me wait for the inevitably wrong content to populate before providing this option?
Hi, When editing my Figma Community profile, I noticed there are only two preset options for social links: Twitter and Instagram.I would really like to see Bluesky added to these, or, even better, if these fields detected the website you enter and inserted the appropriate icon, like Github does.Thank you! Figma Community: only 2 social media options Github: link is detected automatically
Hundreds of times I’ve thought I had a prototype connected up only to realise that every interaction is ‘On Drag’ instead of ‘On Click’ - presumably because I had an element previously connected to a Frame that I had then deleted.To the user, that element then has no interactions, not an interaction that leads to nowhere. When I add a new interaction, by dragging from the + icon to another frame, it is added as an ‘On Drag’ interaction on top of the empty ‘On Click’ interaction - what is the use case for this? There is none
A colleague has been complaining for a few months that Figma has been lagging much more than usual. This had already been an issue with some of our larger files, especially since he works on Windows while I use a MacBook, but I hadn’t noticed any changes on my end.However, since a recent update, I’ve started experiencing severe lag myself when selecting multiple pages at once or simply multiple components. It has become unbearable to try and organize designs or make bulk edits. The problem seems to have started with the introduction of AI features in the app. My colleague had early access to these features, and the timing appears to correlate with the lag increase.On top of that, many elements in my designs have been breaking for no apparent reason:Frames set to “Fill width” appearing as “Hug,” though this seems to be a visual glitch only. The ability to apply multiple text styles in a single text layer is broken; underlining, strikethrough, color changes, font type, and weight adjustm
Why is it that when I create a line using the line tool, it creates the line with two spines (one on either side and one middle one)? When I create a line using the pen tool however, it has one center aligned spine. I’ve seen this contribute to alignment issues, when trying to center align the line tool line within a rectangle, it uses the one of the side spines to create the alignment and therefore isn’t truly centered. Am I missing something? Line tool line (two spines, left and center)Pen tool lineNot center aligned with line tool
It is irritating to need to keep looking up how to do common functions because Figma doesn’t follow conventions. Please have the humility to acknowledge most software conventions are learned outside Figma and follow those conventions even if you desire to break the mold. https://lawsofux.com/jakobs-law/I keep needing to look up how to turn text into links. Please, just let me use Ctrl-K.
Figjam just changed their color palette (that looks quiet bad). My problem is that old stickies are still in the old palette, so when I edit a Figjam created before the palette update, I cannot add stickies that are the same color as the existing ones ! The only workout is to change the color of each old sticky note one by one… Expected behaviour : stickies placed before the palette update should be switched to the new palette! (as opposed to frames and shapes that support custom colors should stay as they are)
These are some of the new Fig Jam default colors. I know there are ways to customize the palette but this is wild. Why did you guys lighten the green and blue? What’s up with this cyan? In theory these colors should look okay together but they do not.
As the title describes, i’m finding it odd when other prototype tools have native lottie support and figma only have it as a GIF since i recently move the majority of my work to figma.
Even before the last update, i found a few inconsistencies within Figma’s interface. The one that bothers my a lot is the properties selection menus. i’ll bring the Font family, Font weight and Font line height as examples.When Figma is set to light mode, the font family selection menu is in “white mode” and the variable selection in nicely located at the top. easy to reach. this is perfect. The space letter spacing is also in “light mode” with the variables button extruded on the field itself, even better, but for the rest of the menus are constantly set to dark mode and their variable selection are placed at the bottom of the list. for fonts with long list this makes navigation very hard with a lot of scrolling. Please fix this inconsistency as specially the later one is the most inconvenience to work with.Thank you
Whenever im using the Actions menu (Cmd+K) to search a term in any of the categories: “Assets” or “Plugins & Widgets” and i select one of the results, after reopening that menu, the search term and category selection is being reseted. this causes frustration since im using this menu to search. im in a search mode. as a user i am not always certain i selected or found the option that answer my need. This pattern causes me to click again on the wanted category and re-enter my search term. this action is very frustrating.I suggest that category selection and search terms will be persistent as long as i did not delete my search term or ended my Figma session. Please consider this fix as the current situation is very frustrating. thank you.
Subject says it all.
There are a ton of times where viewers add a comment by click-dragging a box around the item they are wanting to comment on. While this is super cool and I’m sure the comment thinks that doing this is helpful to provide context - and it is - it creates a headache if I am moving screens around and also want to keep that comment intact. This is really frustrating with large projects that have a lot of churn in the UI, and when there are a lot of comments.With a regular comment (no selection box) it is easy to do this - the comment, if attached to an object, will move with the object. I have searched for a way to convert the “box” comment to a regular comment but haven’t found how to do this. Could you add the ability to do this? Or just remove the box comments?Or is there a way to do this that I haven’t found? Thanks.
Designing an app using Figma involves several key steps. Here’s a concise guide to get you started: Set Up Your Figma Account: If you don’t have an account, sign up at Figma's website. You can use the web app or download the desktop version. Create a New File: Start a new design file by clicking on the “New File” button on your dashboard. Define Your Project: Outline the purpose of your app, target audience, and key features. This will guide your design decisions. Create Frames: Use the Frame tool (F) to create artboards for different screens of your app (e.g., home screen, settings, profile). You can set specific device dimensions (like iPhone or Android) for accuracy. Design the User Interface (UI): Use Components: Create reusable components (buttons, icons, etc.) to maintain consistency. Typography: Choose fonts and set text styles for headings, body text, and buttons. Color Palette: Define a color scheme that aligns with your brand or app theme. Add Elements: Use shapes
