Would it be possible to have slots show placeholder UI without having to mouse over, at least at the master component level?Helps to just take a glance at something and understand the layout, also stresses me out to look at something and its just blank 😅  

When exporting variant names, the file name becomes a combination of all the variant properties. There is no way to control the variant export name, which is especially difficult for developer hand-off. In this example, I have a back icon variant group (Named “Back”) containing both an Apple and an Android variant of the back icon. If I then go to expo

Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

IT would be great i Text would behave like colors for bulk update , When you ctrl + a. a file all text styles will be selected you can then open a list similar to variants and choose the correct text style to apply to all varients just as you do with colors Why it’s needed LLM like claude code and make disregard text styles but for dev teams using text styles is a must so we , currently we need to select each text field one by one there is not way to select similar text fields.Plugins allow to update the text style in a bulk but not as a text style just as an alerternative text .super important for maintaining clean code .

I don’t want to see some properties or values of any properties, if they are not used in the component. This is making it difficult to use the components. Example: I have a button component with Property 1 (Type: Primary, Secondary) Property 2 (State: Default, Processing) I only want “State: Processing” to be available for “Type: Primary” button. I have created a Variant of “Type: Primary” button with “State: Processing”. Currently the problem is when I use “Type: Secondary” button, I can see “State: Processing” in the properties. When I select it, the button “Type” changes to “Primary”. It would be great if the “Processing” state doesn’t show up in the properties list, since I don’t have that “State: Processing” created in the component Variants.

I’ve been working on a system-driven prototype in Figma where a global control (navbar) manages the state of multiple components (cards).The goal was simple: A button click updates a global state (for example active card) Individual components react to that state Smooth transitions (Smart Animate) happen between states (closed to open) However, this currently isn’t possible in Figma without major tradeoffs.Current limitations: Variables can update global state, but components cannot respond to them in a way that triggers variant changes with animation Smart Animate only works when explicitly defined through interactions such as Change to or Navigate, not when state changes indirectly To achieve smooth animation, we are forced to duplicate entire frames or create complex variant systems, which does not scale Wha

Pinning plugins to right-click menu A new section with the plugins you pin (it’s an option when you right-click a plugin from the regular menu). I don’t think I could explain this more. Pinning plugins to toolbar I think it could look something like this:

Hi, I have a component that has a video (in order to play it in prototype mode). In today’s update, it’s displaying a “video” label and a big “play” icon on the canvas. While I think it’s nice to preview a live video on the canvas, I also want the ability to hide this elements (since they’re not part of the design specs). I was wondering if there’s a way to hide this? (the attached screenshot is a good example of specs that I often attach and I don’t want developers to think that those elements are part of the design).

I’ve already started using the new slots and I find them amazing, but I think it’s very limiting to prevent the use of grid layout. 

Is everyone around here ever able to use Template styles in Figma Slides? EVERY time we paste a slide from another presentation, it creates a ‘new’ template so we end up with a dropdown full of slightly similar templates styles and it is impossible to delete them unless I switch every culprit style to the ‘main’ style. But doing usually changes things around so we just gave up trying to use them 😭 Here is a screenshot of the dropdown in most of our slide decks: 

I often need to update component instances on a specific page without affecting those on other pages. However, Figma currently requires me to go through every instance across the entire file, which is frustrating — especially when working with versions and wanting to preserve old designs. While the "Review Updates" panel could help, it actually makes things worse because instances are not listed in order. For example, instance 1 of 34 might be on Page 3, while Instance 4 is on Page 1, making it incredibly tedious to track and update only the relevant ones. A "Update on Current Page Only" option would be incredibly useful, allowing users to selectively update instances only on the active page, without affecting other pages. This would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially for large projects with multiple design versions.Please make this a feature.Thanks!

I'm looking for a way to implement an interactive 3D viewer in a Figma prototype, and would really appreciate any help or insight. I'm currently facing the following issues:Issue 1:In some demo videos, a 3D viewer UI appears near the end with interactive controls, but it seems to be rendered in an Anima web preview, not within Figma's native prototype view. I’m trying to figure out how to achieve similar 3D object rotation and interactivity within Figma’s prototype mode.Reference Videos: Ref 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIC3Mga68hg Ref 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3ZPySpuH9o (Reference time: around 8:40)

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

Hi Figma developers! It turns out that exporting Figma fonts in JSON format provides the result that looks smth like this: "style": { "fontFamily": "Quattrocento Sans", "fontPostScriptName": "QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic", "fontSize": 72, "fontWeight": 700, "italic": true, "letterSpacing": 0, "lineHeightPercent": 100, "lineHeightPx": 84.375, "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%", "textAlignHorizontal": "CENTER", "textAlignVertical": "CENTER" }, for a page like this:

The problemFigma's X/Y system always measures from the top-left. This works perfectly for positioning elements near the top or left edge, but becomes a friction point when working from the bottom or right. To place a square 24px from the bottom-right corner, I have to manually calculate the values or use a dummy reference object as a workaround - every single time.Position panel ideaAdd two optional fields alongside X and Y:R - distance from the right edge of the parent frame B - distance from the bottom edge of the parent frameWhen R is active, X becomes derived automatically, and vice versa. Same for Y and B. No new paradigm to learn - just four directional inputs covering all four sides.This is intentionally separate from constraints and Auto Layout. Those solve resizing behavior. This solves static precision placement - a much more common need.Grid origin idea

We'd like to be able to create a new named version within the version history of document via the REST API. For our use case, we export data out of Figma to be consumed by our internal app, and we'd like to make sure that there is a named version associated with that export so that in both Figma and our app we know the state of the document at the time it was exported.

Lately I’ve noticed that when I have several nested components, I would only like to be able to modify some and not all. This would allow the component that draws on other components to have efficient adaptability in its contextual use.

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

Dear Figma users! I was wondering if I could make a suggestion. When you create a component like a button and you have nested instances, like the button text (which is an atom component) would it be possible when you nest it to choose only the properties you want to have included in the button component? In my case, some of the properties are duplicated, like the state of the text (default, disabled) and also the state of the button, and I would like to only have the ‘fill in text’ property available in the right-hand side panel. I would like to select which of the properties of the nested component would be available in the main component. What do you think? Is this something you might find useful in your work?

Currently, Figma allows exposing properties from nested components, but all properties of the nested component are exposed together. There is no way to selectively expose only specific properties.ProblemIn many real-world design systems, this becomes limiting.Example: I have a Button component with a nested Icon component. The Icon component has: icon-size (variant) icon-instance-swap (instance swap) In the Button, I only want designers to change the icon (instance swap). I do not want to expose the icon size, as size should be controlled by the Button design. With the current behavior: Exposing the nested Icon forces all icon properties

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

I cannot find an option to remove color from a chip in gradients. Figma needs to add the ability for users to select “no color” for gradient chips. This feature has been available in Illustrator for years and is essential for creating transparent gradients that interact with their background. In the attached screenshot, I am unable to achieve what I need because I have to select a color chip. I want to be able to fade that last color and create a gradient between the blue or green on one end and no color on the other, so that, whatever background the gradient is over, it uses that background color. Instead, I have to create a separate asset for each background color that I want the gradient to interact with. This would be elegantly managed with a single asset if Figma allowed choosing a “no color” chip in gradients.

When I select and drag a slide in the sidebar of Slides, I expect it to be duplicated, just like it would be in Keynote, Google Slides, or like any other object in Figma or other apps.Every single time I work on a presentation, I option drag to duplicate a slide, then accidentally overwrite content that I needed.
