Similar to Annotations, provide a way to add categories to comments so we can filter them?

The new sidebar takes up valuable horizontal space, only to display a few links that can be moved elsewhere. How can we hide this? Or collapse it into the Figma button, instead of using 100 pixels just for 6 links, 4 of them who already existed somewhere else before anyway?  

Problem: There is currently no Plugin API to enumerate all connected/enabled libraries of a file, nor to list the styles (paint, text, effect) published by a connected library. The only library discovery surface is teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync(), which returns variable collections but nothing about styles.Current workarounds and why they fail: Scanning the document for remote style IDs — You can walk every node across all pages, collect fillStyleId, strokeStyleId, textStyleId, effectStyleId, check style.remote, and group by the file key embedded in the style ID (S:<fileKey>,…). This is extremely slow on large files (thousands of nodes across many pages), incomplete (only finds styles actually in use, not the full library), and fragile (relies on internal ID format for grouping). getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync() — Returns LibraryVariableCollection[] with libraryName, which lets you discover library names and their variable collections. But

Similar functionality to AE, and also Figma’s native Sweep functionality with Ellipses, the ability to trim any path’s Start and/or End points would allow for more optimized design and prototyping. Some examples: Elegant design/prototyping of custom bar and line charts as well as interactive sliders (RN my adjustable horizontal charts and sliders components are leveraging AutoLayout right padding to adjust a stroke set to Fill) More advanced/custom loader animations Easily make drawn path animations

A great feature to have is text styles not breaking when a designer is using Cmd + B to bold a word or phrase. Currently it unlinks the text style and applies the bold to the underlying font. It would be great if there was a feature where when I use Cmd + B, it swaps to that text style in the library (where the style already exists) and updates in the property panel as well.

I find managing template colors really difficult in Slides. I can’t easily organize, re-order, or rename them. I’ve found some ways to hack it but it feels really convoluted trying to provide color options in the templates I’m making. I think Slides is doing a really great job on most fronts and I love the product, but I find myself just using colors from other libraries because managing them within Slides is so confusing.

Hi Figma team and community,This is related to a similar issue reported here:MCP rate limit not acknowledging subscription I'd like to suggest an improvement to the error messaging around API and MCP access for Dev seat users.Current situation:When a Dev seat user tries to access a Figma project via the API or MCP without having edit permission granted at the project level, they receive this error:> "You've reached the Figma MCP tool call limit for your View seat on the Professional plan. Upgrade your seat or plan for more tool calls."This is misleading in two ways:1. The user already has a Dev seat — not a View seat.2. Upgrading the plan is not the fix. The actual issue is that edit permission hasn't been granted for that specific project. There is also a conceptual confusion worth addressing: Dev seat users do not have edit access to projects by design, which makes it counterintuitive that they need to be granted edit permission by the project owner in order for API/MCP access to

Prototyping a circle progress ring based on variable set would allow for significantly simpler and native prototyping and managment. RN I have a progress ring component with 25+ variants progressing based on a Day variable that then does a Change To to transition to the right one, but this is cumbersome to maintain as each variant requires all the conditional logic to possibly switch to any other given variant. If I could apply a variable to the Sweep then I could then progress the Sweep variable in relation to the Day variable on just 1 Ellipse, and manage only 1 set of conditionals applied to it.

The announcement of Figma Motion had me excited, but right now it feels like a more advanced prototyping mode. I understand that it’s still in Beta mode and I hope in the future it will actually be usable for integrating motion in a design system.Animation between statesIf I take a button from our brands design system, it would be very helpful to be able to keyframe states and variants. Maybe take a page from Rive’s book and add something like a State Machine.Text animationText animation is non-existent at the moment. If we want to create an animation of text being typed I’m not sure how we achieve this.TokenizationWhen exporting JSON, there are no tokens visible in the JSON file, it’s just raw values.Preset AnimationsThe preset animations are nice and all, but it would help immensely to be able to make a library of our own animations, so we can quickly build out motion components.Styles/ChoreographiesSimilar to how you can add multiple values to a typography and apply it as a style (c

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

As teams and design systems scale, finding the right Figma file becomes a major bottleneck. Many of us manage hundreds of cross-functional projects, and the current dashboard limits our ability to organize and locate our work efficiently.To make it easy to see what needs to change, here is a breakdown of the three major file management limitations we face daily, our frustrating workarounds, and the proposed solutions: Feature Request The Figma Limitation The Frustrating Workaround The Proposed Solution 1. Native, Searchable Tags No way to categorize or add custom metadata to Figma files. Cramming categories, client names, and Jira codes into the title, cluttering the dashboard. Introduce a native tagging system to filter files by status, team, or tracking codes. 2. Quoted Search Terms Search splits words by hyphens (e.g., PROJECT-123 becomes PROJECT and 123). Quotes are ignored. Sifting through dozens of irrelevant search results that share common prefixes or nu

When applying a text string variable to a text layer, it’s not possible to search for a text string by content, only by its name. This is rather inconvenient for the localization plugin we’re using, which gives each string variable an inscrutable number for a name. Here I am searching for “smith” in this panel and getting no results, even though we have variables that contain the text “smith.”  The good news is that if I open the variables panel, the search field there is able to search for string content in the various modes. It would just be great if the little “apply variable” panel could as well!  

Nested properties do not show up when selecting multiple instances of components Example when selecting 1: Example when selecting multiple: My expectation would be to also be able to set up the decoration left icon when I'm selecting both layers. 

Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

I use percentages in a project for the letter spacing. I can’t use variables to achieve this value. It always defaults to pixels.

The animation capabilities are absolutely fantastic, especially being able to export as an animated SVG. It would be ideal if we could export as a MOV file because videos with transparent backgrounds mean we can create lower thirds and multiple different video assets. It would prevent us having to use After Effects or any other video tool 

Favourite fonts will be shown on top of the list, while the rest of it will be shown below the favourite list. We should also be able to remove and add while viewing the fonts on the font list.

I am quite certain I am not a robot. However, when creating an account just now using a work-specific email so that I could accept an invite to a Figma team, registration was a very frustrating affair. The CAPTCHA was far too long (5 questions), the instructions were maddeningly vague, and I failed multiple times. Each failure meant having to do the entire 5 question CAPTCHA again from the beginning. I attempted to switch to the audio version, hoping that might be easier for me to understand, but I failed that too. As a result, registering a new account took at least 15 minutes, and had it not been necessary for a work assignment, I would have given up altogether.Please consider changing your CAPTCHA to something that can be more easily completed by humans. While I certainly understand the desire to avoid spam signups, other websites with similar challenges have found approaches that require a user to, at most, click a checkbox. Perhaps Figma could follow a similar model.

Get paid templates of figma and framer for free with this method ‼️ You could also with this clone any website design and import it into figma — there is the method : 1) Go to the framer marketplace or figma marketplace and search the template that you want and then click on the preview link and get redirect in a new browser tab who will open the preview of the website; 2) Copy that preview link and go to this website www.uploop.space and paste the preview link on that website. Then launch the process and click on the bouton "Export to figma"; 3) When the process is over, you'll get an portable svg file who is the website pixel perfect that you want to clone with exact fonts, sections and all the entire website ready to be redesigned as your wishes. Bonus: If you want to retake that pixel perfect clone and import it to framer again, you'll just need to use de figma plugin on framer to import it. Note: It's works well on any framer/figma websites templates (paids or none) . You could ne

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.

Is it possible to change default font in Figma? (from Inter to Mardoto)

Now that we have variables support for text styles, it’s taking a while to update all the properties to match text variables. It’d be really, really helpful to be able to apply variables to multiple text styles at once, by selecting all font styles that we want to apply a variable to and editing the property, since most of these are shared between different styles. With that feature, text migration to variables would be super easy and seamless.
