Hi everyone, 👋I’m new to Figma and learning everything completely from scratch. I really appreciate having access to the free version, as it’s been helpful for getting started. That said, I’m finding the current limitations a bit challenging when trying to fully understand the workflow and explore what Figma can really do. I feel that having access to some Pro features would really help me learn faster and more effectively. I wanted to ask if there are any options for a free trial or a discounted Pro upgrade for beginners even if just for a limited time. I’d love the chance to experience the Pro features before fully committing. Thanks so much, and I really appreciate this community and the product!— Bright

It would be beneficial to have version control in Figma Make, or at least the ability to publish changes to a "QA" instance. Currently, the only way to test app changes across different browsers is to publish them and hope for the best!

Dear Figma product team, does the UI of UI3 need to be updated again? Compared to the last UI update, many new features have been added. Do you need to update the UI now, from visual to UI to UX? Let me urge you to update it

Not very easy for users to test on the Make prototypes, as they need to log in. Takes quite a while to log in or even register.Maybe some features like in Figjam, can open the session for certain amount of time, allowing visitors to get on the link without registration or login.  When previewing the Make file in Figjam, can we also allow users to interact with it, without login?

This update is genuinely one of the most frustrating UX changes I’ve experienced in a professional design tool 😡 😡 😡The new left-hand navigation panel permanently steals ~60px of horizontal space on small screens, which is completely unacceptable. That space is my primary working area — the canvas. I am literally losing room to do my job so a panel can sit there doing nothing most of the time.Yes, Variables, Files, Assets, Find, and Library are important.No — they are NOT minute-to-minute actions.They do not deserve permanent, always-visible real estate. This panel is idle 90% of the time, yet it constantly punishes my workflow.On smaller displays, this feels especially hostile. Instead of prioritising the canvas (the entire reason Figma exists), the UI forces a bulky navigation column that adds zero value moment-to-moment and actively makes precision design harder.

I have to jump between my foundation and theme collections pretty frequently. I’d love a “Go to main component” but for aliases.   

I sit in a ton of Figma demos, and I use the “follow” feature pretty regularly to track what the presenter is showing. However, often times, their zoom level is not ideal. Currently, you are locked into their zoom level - and to zoom in (or out) you have to break out of following them.Can you please allow followers to adjust their zoom in and out without breaking out of “follow mode”? This would allow us to zoom in on the details, or out on the macro picture, easily without losing track of the presenter in the demo.  Thanks!

I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out how to export a PNG with a transparent background. I finally found a solution in the support forum where you have to add an image fill. This just doesn’t seem obvious to me at all.. Could we get a checkbox to add transparency in the export option for PNGs? That would be much more straightforward! 

Hello there, I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides and familiar to some colour. Please help me how to change the guideline colour like black, blue green and any other dark colour

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

I know that you can set aliases for number variables, but it would be great if we could use number variables with other number variables to do a computation. For example, this would be great for playing around with type scales without needing a plugin. Below is an image of the use case (ignore the line height variable).  The current workaround is just doing the math manually, but the computation isn’t preserved (e.g. `s` doesn’t show `14 * 1.25`). Granted, I did end up fudging these numbers so that they would be rounded up to the nearest even number, but I still feel this is a fair request.Bonus is if you add a rounding function to these math opportunities, but I understand that the software will just round to the nearest whole number anyways so it’s more for the developers. 

In Dev mode, sometimes the effects designed by the designer are not suitable for the developer.The developer may only need a cutout that contains a part of the layer or effect instead of the full cutout.But in Dev mode, there is no function to hide the layer or effect (small eyes), which will result in the designer having to deal with the extra layer repeatedly every time.

Hi all,Have you considered adding a feature to the auto layout “gap” feature that could allow a user to set a minimum gap i.e. 8px and a maximum gap i.e. 40px?I’ve recently needed this function for building bar graphs. I need to make them responsive without getting too small and overlapping on each other or too big when expanded.

Cmd+alt+up/down recently started to rotate object instead of moving the layer up down.How to fix/disable it?

It would be very beneficial to be able to use the command/scroll wheel in a Figma file, either in the supported Figma app or in any browser on iPad. Some people are working in environments where the iPad is used for connecting to corporate, “locked” systems (often via Microsoft), and if you are to present a prototype in an online meeting, it is nearly impossible or at least extremely cumbersome to use pinch-to-zoom on mid-sized iPads. Under such circumstances, the iPad acts almost as a separate PC, so a feature like this should be the norm, not the exception.

I’d like to insert an image into a cell in a table in FigJam so that it moves with the table as it expands and changes size. Currently, I’m just having to drag pictures around with the table as it expands which is fine for one or two images but I have many!

Pretty simple ask: I want to move a page from one Figma to another. I don’t see a way to do it. Select All + Cut + Paste is not a good solution as I might have locked objects that don’t come with the copy and there might be properties set on the page (background color, etc.) that I might lose.

When picking colors I’m always working in the HSL color system. When I want to change a color it makes so much more sense for me to be able to adjust the hue, saturation, or/and lightness rather than thinking about how edits to RGB might work, or trying to mentally decode hex values. Often I’ll want a color of a similar saturation & brightness but a different hue. Or a color of the same hue & saturation but different brightness. But in the Figma UI it defaults to showing hex values in the sidebar (or a color style name where the values are completely hidden unless I drill down): Hex values can be useful for developers (although lately we’ve just been using HSL in our CSS), but is not very useful to me when designing exce

I’ve recently worked on a design in a FY 24/25 Q4 document that still needs implementing, and that quarter/year is now over (for us, I’m aware that other orgs use different dates) so I want to:Create a new FY25/26 Q1 design document Move (not copy) the page from the FY 24/25 Q4 design document into the new Q1 document Achieve the above in as few inputs as possibleI would ideally expect to be able to right-click the page in the Pages panel, select “Move page to another document” and either choose an existing document or create a new one (naming & choosing its location in the process)However this route doesn’t exist, the choices are only “Copy link to page”, “Rename page”, “Duplicate page” and “Delete page”, none of which help me - I can’t even Copy the page and Paste it into a new document!Suggest this is a pretty obvious missing feature, would be relatively easy to implement, and alongside the “Move page to another documen

Hello! I am a community advocate for FOF, Sofia for Bulgaria and we experience difficulties when we want to use Bulgarian Cyrillic in several fonts with the “Stylistic sets” feature, but Bulgarian Cyrillic just doesn’t work. When I try the same in Adobe Illustrator for example - there are no problems. The only solution we’re able to find is to change the font’s core defaults to this type of Cyrillic, otherwise, it is impossible to use the stylistic set in Figma. Best Regards, Daniel Dungyov

Hi dear Figma teamI’m writing you as an advanced designer. Why not adding a arrow connector to make it easier to put both advanced designs and flows in a file? something like what already happens in FigJam... 

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file

i believe put design and figjam diagram in single file better than different file.for example,  i can create and edit task flow next to UI, instead of copy and paste back and forth.same goes for figma slide.

Can’t say how disappointed I am with the Make function of Figma. Very overcomplicated way to view, modify and export the files. All kinds of exotic explanations of how to possibly view the files of an application, until Figma;s AI itself admits, it’s actually not possible, nor is it possible to export into zip files. Modifying a Make is possible but insanely clunky. Today, I regret to say it’s little more than a prototyping gimmick that may be useful only for early stage ideation.

As a regular Figma full seat user, I couldn’t use all the credits during the holidays and when I fell sick for a week. Can we please have credits rollover so that we get to use what we paid for?Many Thanks!
