This is so annoying. I shouldn’t have to use the web version to disable this. FIGMA should allow me to turn this off in the settings. I don’t use Figma every day and I certainly don’t want it to open every time I log in. Clearly, this has annoyed several users but you fail to listen. STOP FORCING ME TO OPEN FIGMA AT LOGIN!!

Please, for the love of God, add a keyboard shortcut for superscripting and subscripting. When I copy legal text over from an outside source, the superscripted trademark and copyright symbols do not carry over as superscripted. It is tedious to have to redo this in Figma and open the menu every time instead of using a keyboard shortcut.

We’ve found annotations to be an incredibly valuable way to capture ideas (like animations) in a clearer and more structured format compared to comments. However, it’s difficult for us to justify requiring a paid developer seat just so clients and collaborators can view these notes. Many of our projects involve multiple client stakeholders, and it’s not practical to purchase additional seats for everyone who needs visibility. The introduction of annotations was such a helpful improvement for collaboration, so it’s a bit disheartening to see this functionality restricted. We’d love to better understand the reasoning here, as it feels like a step backward in terms of accessibility and client collaboration.

Make a option while prototyping where it will instantly jump to the next path. Similar to how the 'after delay; would work but 0 milliseconds. This would be helpfull for if you want to do eventually keyframe animation instead of the basic smart animate option.

Hi Figma Community and Team,I'm a developer (with limited UI skills) who's been absolutely loving Figma Make – it's a game-changer for me!I'm thinking about upgrading to a Full Seat subscription mainly for this feature, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the AI credit system. The docs mention that *"about 50-70 Make prompts may consume 1 AI credit."*I'm struggling to visualize what counts as a "prompt." For example, if I ask for something reasonably complex like:"Generate a homepage for an e-commerce site. It needs to have both light and dark mode themes, a hero carousel banner, and display products in a card layout."Does anyone from the team or community have a rough idea of how many credits a single, multi-faceted prompt like that might consume? Is it closer to 1 credit, or would it be more because it's packing several instructions?My other big question is about the Full Seat subscription. I saw this note on the website:"Until then, we won’t be strictly enforcing credit limits for

Auto layout sometimes causes more problems than it solves.  When I get a set of wireframes from someone else, I find it causes a lot of wasted time trying to figure what objects are using it and shut it down for each one.There should be a setting to just turn Auto Layout off for the whole file. The way is works per object right now is a huge time waster in using this product.

Today I learned the move in transition is not supported when trying to create change to actions between variants of a component. This is frustrating as it limits my ability to use component interactions to reduce complexity of large prototype flows. Please fix.   

Hi Figma!I’m a developer working with a team creating a design system and React component library. Our designers use tokens for pretty much everything, and a key part of our workflow is exporting the tokens as CSS variables, which can then be used in our React component library.To do this, we use a community-created plugin called Variables2CSS. It’s fantastic that someone created this plugin (thank you to the author!), but it presents us with one main problem: we need to be in Design Mode in Figma for the export to work correctly. If we’re in developer mode when we use the plugin to export the tokens, some tokens go missing.This is a problem within my team, as we need to purchase a designer license for each developer who needs to export the tokens. As my employer will only pay for one designer license for this purpose I am stuck being the only developer in my team who is able to do this. It’s a hassle for me, and if I go on holiday, or I’m off sick, the team is stuck and development is

Right now, Figma’s Slice tool can only export an image of a selected area. Cool, but… what if it could do more?Sometimes I only need to show part of a layout — maybe to explain something to devs or teammates, or just to isolate a section without duplicating the whole frame. But the only way now is to turn the frame into a component, copy it, and resize manually. With Auto Layout, that gets annoying fast.So why not let Slice project the selected area right on the canvas — like a live cropped view of the original content? It’d be great for documentation, visual notes, or floating explanations without messing with the actual layout.Basically: make Slice not just for export, but also for viewing.

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

My suggestion for Figma is to add a “slot” functionality to components. This would allow designers to create more flexible and customizable components, by adding empty slots or placeholders within a component. Users could then insert their own content or elements into these slots, without having to ungroup or modify the component itself. This functionality would save time and increase efficiency for designers, while also promoting a more consistent design system across a project or organization. I believe this feature would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability of Figma’s component system, and would be a valuable addition to the platform.

Hello, I have a student (education) account on Figma, which should include all the Professional plan features. However, the option to enable Figma AI tools in the team settings does not work for me. Does anyone know if AI tools are available for education accounts, or how I can properly enable them?

I’d really like to be able to lock a layer, but continue to work on its child layers. This would be particularly useful when working within a layer within an auto-layout.

Would be useful (and a better UX) if keyboard shortcuts existed for adding rows and columns to a FigJam table. Tabbing (a common method to create a new row in other apps) causes focus to jump to a different item on the page (e.g., another sticky, text box), which is jarring and disorienting when trying to capture information in a group setting; lose your spot, lose your train of thought, focus goes to getting back to the table instead of listening to the speaker. One alternative or starting point could be providing those as menu commands, which opens up the ability for Mac users to define their own keyboard shortcuts using MacOS > keyboard > app shortcuts.

When working with more complex auto-layouts in Figma, I find myself accidentally changing frames/instances from Fill to Fixed or Hug by double clicking on the edge. In some cases I don’t catch myself and only discover later that parts of a prototype are not responsive. Is there a way to disable this or change the behavior to require a key modifier or something? 

I am an EDU account user. I used Make AI to design an interface for an educational platform. After less than 2 days and a total of 50 versions, I was alerted with 'You've reached your current limit. Your credits will reset on November 1, 2025.' This consumption of 3,000 credits per month is too fast. Moreover, there is no place in the backend where I can see the current credit usage in real-time, which is very unreasonable. The consumption data is not transparent. Now I have to wait until November 1 to use it again, which seriously affects my ability to work normally.

ProblemCurrently, there’s no way to bind the Flex Direction property (horizontal / vertical) to a variable or boolean condition. This makes it impossible to dynamically switch layouts inside a component using variables or modes. Designers are forced to create duplicate components or manually toggle the direction. Proposed SolutionAllow flexDirection to be controlled via a variable or boolean property, similar to how alignment, spacing, and padding can already be managed.Example syntax:flexDirection = isVertical ? "VERTICAL" : "HORIZONTAL" Expected Benefits  Enables adaptive, single-source components without duplicates. Improves token-driven and responsive design workflows. Makes component logic consistent with existing variable bindings.   PriorityMedium–High — essential for scalable, adaptive design systems using Figma variables and Auto Layout.

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

The issue being faced today:I want to have preferred values only show up under the instance swap feature. Not searchable in the assets panel, as these are typically sub-components that I don’t want to be used on their own (examples: a dropdown menu used in a global navigation component, the vector for an icon used to instance swap in an actual icon component to control the sizes via icon properties, a single segment used inside a donut chart, pre-configured links or buttons commonly used inside a bigger component to make it easier to select from a pre-set). Why this isn’t possible:Unpublished and hidden components are treated the same in Figma. Hiding/unpublishing a component in Figma is currently the only way for it to not show up in the assets panel. Hiding/unpublishing a preferred value leads to additional issues: Preferred values cannot be selected by library consumers if they are unpublished. Preferred values must be published in order for updates to be available to library consu

When setting up variable groups for modes, you may need all the same structure (all be it with renamed variable names) I find my self copying a group of number variables then using the same structurce want to apply strings to them (example h1, h1, h3), what would realy help is the ability to convert a group of variables from number to string and back again if need be.

Hi, please make Figma remember my choice when I pick “show as list”. Better still, put it in the Settings. Thanks.  

Include a search bar in the Library analytics panel to rapidly select a component without having to scroll through the list of components.

Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!

Amazing new tool this Figma Buzz, especially for content teams.However, we can’t find an easy way to create social media carousels. Is there a carousel feature or a setting to remove the grid gap? That will be much appreciated.Thank you Giada - Vitamina Studio

Hi Figma team,I recently created a Figma site for my app and really love the experience.However, I need to upload a file called app-ads.txt to the root of my domain. This file is required by AdMob to verify ownership of the app and allow us to display ads.Is there any way to host or upload this file directly in a Figma site?Thanks in advance!
