Whether you search from the left side bar or press Shift + I, the thumbnails are too tiny to display details. Some of the assets would look similar from afar but if we’re able to resize the thumbnails as well as the window, it would reduce time dragging the wrong component.

Hey there.As you know, we can already apply multiple fill color or apply multiple variable color to a single frame. But we can only apply one “style” to a single frame. The problem comes when you want to give a single frame multiple effect. assume I have a focus ring, and a subtle shadow. my elements might sometimes have shadows, and sometimes have a focus ring, and in some cases, they might have both. for now, if I want to create styles, I need to make 3:focus-ring-neutralshadow-smfocus-ring-shadow-neutralI understand that the logic behind the style was to make layers of attributes (styles) all saved as one name. but in cases you want to mix a few things, you have to save all combinations that you might use. is it possible that to be able to add multiple effect style to a single frame instead of creating more customized styles? Image below shows how “Fill” has a plus button and can have multiple values (Varia

There should be a way for Figma Admins and Workspace Admins (and potentially Team Owners) to be able to communicate Figma-specific news and information to members of specific projects/connected projects, teams, workspaces, or the entire organization (and groups, if they are ever added)Currently, organizations have to use email, slack, Microsoft Teams, or other tools to communicate about Figma topics, and these messages are easily overlooked since they are outside of a Figma context.It would be helpful to have a way to message discrete groups from within Figma. Examples of things that need to be communicated:We made a major design system upgrade New sticker sheets/templates are available We have deprecated holiday colors. Please remove any hard-coded holiday colors in your active designs. We have a new Workspace for xyz New reference designs are available in your Connected Project. Please check the comms portal for more ab

I was super pumped to start using grids for my layouts until I learned of one fatal flaw that killed my excitement :(  The inability to set a row height to hug is simply a deal-breaker for me. Also no variables support for gaps? really?

When a change is made to an instance, any updates made to the original component after that do not carry over. This is very frustrating and results in me updating each instance. 

I'd like to be able to select a component and see all instances of use in the file. Sometimes my files get so large that I lose place of where I am using certain comps, or I am jumping into someone else’s file and it can be super confusing, if I don’t know where they are using that component. 

I’ve had multiple dev’s ask me where to find the core token to a second-order token value for a color when referencing mocks that use our design system. They are unable to see you can hover over to the more icon, and the only “actionable” thing they appear to be able to do is “copy” the variable name to their clipboard. Just asking to leave the “more icon” visible by default, there’s no real reason to hide it. 

it’s different from just using history. we are working on a file that was ongoing for years, some of the frames are old, some are new. we want to see what is the age of each screen to understand the timeline of our work. we could scroll back in time and see, but then we would had to jump between times, trying to discover and guess when a screen was created, rather then the possibility of just clicking on it and see the date of the creation

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.

Hello, good day.I’m experiencing serious issues with the new Figma UI update. Many essential tools — such as padding controls — are missing or hidden.Please do not enforce this new version. The previous UI was much better, clearer, and far more efficient for designers.This new version has no advantages, feels confusing, and makes our workflow significantly harder.

It would be nice if there was a way to set the default layout guides when you push + between two slides. Now it’s always set to one column and one row.

Hi! First, thanks to the Figma team for all the hard work. Now, let’s talk about Figma Slides Templates. To edit the template styles, I have to select a slide first — which feels a bit unintuitive. In Figma, when you click on the canvas without selecting anything, you can access the file’s styles. Can we bring that same concept into Slides?When I open the template selector, I can edit the styles there through a dropdown. Is that really the best or only way to manage styles in Figma Slides? I don’t think so.Colors & Text Styles: I can delete them, but only through a pretty complex interaction — right-click?Layout Grid: How can I set a default grid? Right now, I have to manually add my custom grid to every new slide I create. If we can't set a default, the feature kind of loses its purpose. :( 

Hi,When designing screens for our platform we use 2 design systems within one frame and even within the same component. We have:Our own design system with light and dark theming Either Material Design or IOS 26 with light and dark themingCurrently it is, to my knowledge, not possible to use these two efficiently in tandem. For example:I can switch both to dark mode but then variables used from one design system used in components of the other design system will not change. To illustrate this: I use the tab bar from the IOS 26 library but override the text labels with variables from our own design system. Now, when I switch to dark mode these overwritten values will not change.Is there a solution that I am not aware of to tackle this issue? If not, perhaps a universal switch that works across libraries would be an idea?

One important feature is missing = Merging cells 😦 Is this feature included as an improvement in the near future?

Please include REM as a mode of measurement as it is becoming more and more used by developers. Having to manually convert the measurement is so tedious.

Video settings have a dedicated button when not in Design Mode. When in Design Mode this button is nowhere to be found. So if I want to adjust the settings of a video I must get out of Design Mode first. Is that intended? Not Design Mode Design Mode        

You can embed YT videos into Figma Slides, but appears to lack Vimeo support. Also, we can’t change the Embed settings (turning off suggested videos, etc.) Would love support for these!

Two related topics for working in Figma Slides:Is it possible to set a default animation for a slide deck? I’d prefer fade in over any sliding, and would like this to be set when I add an animation for any object If not possible, is there an easy way to set/configure multiple animations? The only way I’ve been able to do this is to select multiple items in the design tree (where items can be hard to find sometimes), rather than just selecting multiple animation objects in that bar (using e.g. the shift key).Otherwise I’m really enjoying using this great tool!

Does anyone know how to turn off Figma’s auto-formatting? I’m trying to type '- ', but it looks like Figma is assuming this text must be a bulleted list. I’m having a similar issue when using text that’s in the format of an email address or a url. Figma is changing these to unwanted links. I’d like to turn off all text auto-formatting.

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

I’d like to suggest the ability to expose fill properties—specifically image and color fills—as editable component properties in Figma. Use Case: In designing components like cards, avatars, or thumbnails, it’s common to have a placeholder image or color that needs to be customized per instance. Currently, to change the fill, I have to drill down into the component’s layers and manually adjust the fill, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.  Proposed Solution: Allow fills (both image and color) to be exposed as component properties, similar to how text and instance swaps are handled. This would enable users to change fills directly from the right-hand properties panel when selecting a component instance, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency. Benefits:  Simplifies the process of customizing components with different images

The wrap function for auto layout has been a great addition but I keep hitting a wall when trying to illustrate expectations of alignment/stretch of wrapped items as the width of container/screen/viewport changes.An example is with cards containing content of different length. Expectation: card containers should stretch to fill vertical gaps in grid so they all share the height of element with most content (as it works with CSS grid or the align-items: stretch of Flexbox)Current behaviour: I am limited to choosing between fixed-height or hug contents for the cards. Result: card heights cannot dynamically adapt and I am have to write extensive documentation for devs and cannot freely create prototypes using dynamic content.Am I missing something?
