Hyphenation for Text Tool

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. So, what do you think about this feature feedback?

Customizable Pre-Made Components in FigJam

I like creating custom components in Figma to use in FigJam. In one of my projects I’m using FigJam to keep track of characters, locations, etc. for a novel I’m writing. I connect these components together in FigJam to create story arcs, etc. I have created a custom character component that has a space for an image of the character, their physical traits, inventory, etc. When I populate this component in FigJam with info for each specific character, some of the sub-components in the main component I need, and some I don’t. I, FigJam, I’d like a way to easily select which sub-components I want to use for each instance of the component (maybe a simple list with checkboxes when I edit a component), choose variants of components (which you can already do), variables, duplicate objects within a frame, etc. Essentially, I love the power to design custom components in Figma, and I get what you’re trying to do with simplicity in FigJam. If you allowed me, in FigJam, as a consumer of my own com

Add ability to align to key object

It would be great if you could add the option to align multiple objects to a key object (like in Adobe Illustrator). You can see more here: Select & Align to Key Object | Illustrator Tutorial If anyone else wants this or has other alignment suggestions please upvote this topic and comment.

All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

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.

prototype preview commenting / feedback on designs

hi there :) my suggestion is about when we’re in prototype mode. I would love the ability to draw onto the designs without changing the designs and leaving comments using the pencil tool - maybe even writing as well. I attached screenshots of a super simple concept of the idea (for one person commenting on the slides). thank you to the figma team for such an awesome tool. also; much love to all, xo

Expired account

Hello! I would love to get support about moving files from an expired account to a new account. I have been using my school account for the edu plan and got a notification it is expired. I still need to use the materials in the previous account, Is there any way I can access and edit the files in the previous account?

Persistent page for notifications

I want to request a persistent page for the notification stack (currently a popover). I find it hard to use the notifications popover menu in the File Browser because the popover closes every time I click on a notification. If I have a stack of, let’s say 30 notifications across 5 files, I have to re-open the popover menu over and over and over again to stay on top of my notifications. Viewing my notifications via the Figma menu bar icon doesn’t solve this problem. Every time I click into a file, the popover closes. Referencing this Figma support article, I don’t see an existing feature that makes it easy to manage my notification stack. To reference another app that does this well, I like the Inbox feature in Asana, which gives the notification stack its own page, and a persistent item in the app sidebar. Asana Help Center

Figma default grid of 10px

I work on our corporate design language system and continuously run in to the issue of designers using the default Figma 10px grid when our system delivers components built on a 4px grid. Junior designers do not pick up on this and it is an issue. Is it possible to prompt users to setup baseline elements (grid / columns, size) BEFORE they can begin their work? Or is it possible to setup Figma in an Enterprise to have design system foundations set in all figma files for designers? Note: I don’t see a use case for a 10px grid default; 8px and 4px are the standard for many design systems so why is this default set to 10?

When merging branch, comments are not "copied"

When I merge a branch which has some comments, those comments are not copied/merged/… to main file. Is it expected behaviour or “thing in progress”? I would love to have those comments transfered. So i don’t forget anything 🙂

Save Draft of Comments Functionality

👉🏽 Did you allready experience the frustration of typing out a comment, then needing to check the name of a frame or another detail outside the comment section, only to lose their entire comment? 😭 Ideas 💡 When a user begins typing a comment, the system should automatically save a draft of the comment at regular intervals (e.g., every 10 seconds). If the user navigates away from the comment section or the page, the draft should be preserved and restored when they return to the comment section. Provide a clear indication to the user that their comment is being saved as a draft (e.g., a small “Saving…” indicator). Include an option for the user to manually save a draft of their comment. Ensure that the draft is retained even if the user logs out and logs back in, or if they access the project from a different device. Thhis functionality will significantly improve user experience by preventing the loss of comments when users need to navigate away from the comment section for any reaso

Allow sharing working prototype links of an old version locked version of the file.

In my organization often enhancements of designs are approved while dev is working on previously approved version. Product managers are constantly asking for links of the prototype that will never change - a signed off link but Figma has no way of doing this unless I Have a copy of the file for each version and still I can’t guarantee someone accidentally won’t open the wrong file and change something inside. not to speak of the nightmare of confusion it can bring. I work all updates that haven’t been signed off on branches and when I merge my branch link is dead. - Can we have a link from file history that can be shareable? I’m being asked to provide PDF which really can’t work on a dynamic variable based prototype unless I go through the manual process of capturing myself screenshots to put them in PDF which is painful to say the least.

Turning off "snap to pixel grid" should turn snapping off!

Hi! Turning off “snap to pixel grid” in a Figma Design file no longer changes snapping behavior when dragging frames around. Whether this feature is turned on or off, a dragged frame still snaps to each pixel, no matter how zoomed-in. Note that some other objects (e.g., vector objects) still respect this setting. It’s just an issue with frames, components, and component instances. Note that If I group the frame, I then can drag the group to any sub-pixel location. I’ve restarted my machine, restarted Figma, checked for updates, reloaded tabs, tried it in other design files. Tried it in the client, in Chrome, and in Safari. Same problem. Can anyone else replicate this?

Choose image or frame as prototype background

Hello to the Figma team and forum users! I have been learning this tool over the last couple of weeks and I’m amazed at so many of the features and ideas. However, there is one thing I’m struggling to achieve due to a limitation. When prototyping for some platforms, it’s nice to create a mockup for the overall platform UI (like a Mac/Windows desktop, with a window open), to then use a background for all other frames, which are in turn the contents of that window. Currently, in prototype viewer mode, it’s not possible to keep this mockup frame as a background for all frames. One way to solve it is copy-pasting it (most likely as a component) into each and every frame you want to show in the prototype, and placing it behind everything else. That’s a lot of repeated manual labor. Plus, the frames themselves end up bigger - they have to stay at the fixed size of the mockup screen. So checking how your UI’s resize is harderd. Apart from that, having that background always be visible or clic

Shortcut to publish library and automatically update files

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

Attach Image to Table in FigJam

Variables: Color alias with alpha / opacity (rgba ideally)

hey there! variables seems to be super nice but what i am missing is that if i make a colour alias to a specific collection - i can’t set the opacity separately (e.g. colour 50 with 20% opacity) So basically i want the colouyr to be from another collection and i want to set the alpha seperatly (controlled as rgba - since i dont need it as opacity) Example how we can fix this in token studio: So what i want is that i can set blue/5 and then the opacity (which i dont want to capture in another colour variable) Now its only possible if i break the link with gray/75 - and then i loose the reference to that colour

Finding Missing Library components/styles

First off, I’m loving the new Swap Library feature! Problem Today, it actually helped me discover some “rogue” styles and components that were leftover from an old library! Now I can try to locate those and finally get rid of them in our current library! But wait - what if I don’t actually know where these are in the file? Or even further, what if I can’t get Figma to find a match? Suggestions: The one thing I wish this feature could do is to help me actually locate those rogue styles or components. I tried using the Instance Finder plugin but it still didn’t help because I have to actually locate them on the canvas/file first. ☹ What if the dialog let us force a new style or component match, instead of us running into a dead-end with the None found message. Currently, it tries to match using the name. But that might not always work (like in this case.) Any ideas are appreciated. Otherwise, wanted to pass this suggestion on to the Figma team. Thanks!

Shortcuts for pages and layers panel

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. ;)

Anyone can add "edit" permission - limit to admins across all plans

Every editor of a file currently can invite whoever they want to edit the file, which cost a lot, and is actually not necessary (for example - designers invite developers as editors). I want to limit the permission to invite new editors - only to admins.

LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

Scroll to interaction: destination selection

Hi all, Currently, the only way to select a destination for Scroll to interaction is by dragging and dropping the arrow to select the target object, from the component itself on the frame. The selection menu in the interaction panel only shows top level objects. This makes it impossible to select an accurate destination while using conditional interactions for example. A workaround could be selecting one of the top level elements, then manually add an offset. Obviously, it’s really not flexible, because if your content changes, you’ll have to manually change the offset. And it doesn’t work in responsive view. A elegant solution could be to add a manual destination selection, by allowing dragging from the panel to the target.
