When I select a single component, I can see the nested instances I exposed (super useful). But if I multi-select the same components, those nested instances disappear.Would be awesome if they stayed visible also on multi-select — it would make bulk edits much easier.

Hi team ,I quickly created a working prototype of an idea with great results. Now I’d like to use the components I built in my design files—not just the styles and colors.Is this possible, and if so, what’s the best way to bring those custom components into my design workflow? Also, can we create a base file of custom components for Make and share it with other designers so they can build their flows using those components?Thanks in advance!

Every time I look for a component using the `option + 2` shortcut and start typing I expect the search input to be focused but it takes a second. By the time I’ve searched for a “Note” component I’ve been moved across my page to a seemingly random frame and selected the text tool but haven’t searched for any components. Wouldn’t it make sense to render the search input immediately rather than waiting for some kind of API response?It’s massively frustrating, I hate the N for next frame shortcut anyway, but when I accidentally hit it when a text input should have been focused it’s a nightmare.The component search issue is by far the worst, but I run into issues where I think I have a text frame selected or a property input focused and end up hitting random shortcuts instead of typing multiple times per day. Please take a look at this, the ergonomics are pretty rough in this regard, especially when you’re trying to work quickly and the app doesn’t respond to shortcuts as expected.

I want plugin to glileo ai to export designs quickly to figma

I know you can put variables in gradients but are we going to see the option of adding gradient styles to Figma variables anytime soon? At the next Config maybe? 🙏🏻

To improve the culture of design systems, it would be great to prohibit certain components from being detached. Something like a checkbox in the component configuration.  

In Figma Buzz, there's an issue with exporting pages to PDF: the selected format doesn't apply to all pages. I select the desired pages, click "Export," then set the format to PDF in the right panel and click "Export" again. However, all pages are still saved as PNG files instead of PDF. Even if I manually change the format to PDF for the first or second page, the export still results in PNG files for all pages. The only way to get a multi-page PDF is to manually set the PDF format for each page individually. With many pages (e.g., 20), this is extremely time-consuming. It would be great if the selected format (like PDF) could automatically apply to all pages during export.

Individually clicking and resolving each comment is tedious. It would be useful to highlight multiple comments and use a right-click menu option to “bulk resolve.” This would save significant time.

Hey! So i found it a bit uncomfortable when i share page to some other department and then they get access to view all other pages. Would be great to give access to view only 1 page by link 

The eyedropper is great, but there are a few limitations. These limitations are primarily around using the “i” shortcut for the eyedropper. Problem:Using the eyedropper to affect the stroke is an unnecessarily amount of interactions. If the object has a fill and a stroke, using the eyedropper only applies to the fill. Sure you can click on the colour swatch for the stroke to get to the eyedropped, but if it has a colour variable already applied you then need to click to the Custom tab and then click on the eyedropper from there. This results in multiple clicks in order to modify the stroke colour easily. Adding a stroke - current steps:Select the object Click the Plus to add a stroke Press i to activate eyedropper Shift click a variable colour to assign it Modifying a stroke (with a colour variable already applied) - current steps:Select the object Click the colour variable Click the Custom tab Click the eyedropper Sample the new colour variable holding shift  Proposed solution:When yo

As a developer I want to be able to generate images based on the template of the designer. I want to be able to use the placeholders in Figma Buzz to dynamically add images to generate a design with variable content. 

In File A I create 20 (arbitrary example) different components that have an icon instance property. File A has access to my Icon library (in another file). So I add all icons as preferred values for my 20 instance props in File A. Now I add some icons to my library and publish the update. Well guess what? Now I have to go through the 20 props in File A to manually add those new icons as preferred value. Imagine this at the scale of a mature international design system. What’s the point of the preferred values feature then?

Migrating over to Figma. Literally found a limit within 2 minutes. In Figma, you can’t end a line with an arrowhead on one end, and a circle or dot on the other. Illustrator has been able to do it for 25+ years. Sketch can do it. Even PowerPoint can do it. But Figma can’t? On the Figma dropdown menu, it mixes up caps with ends. Round and Square are caps. Line Arrow and Triangle Arrow are ends (or tips). Nothing else can be done except arrowheads. I make a lot of wireflows, so this seemingly small thing is actually a big annoyance for me. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello folks,I do feel like we need to greatly power up the ways to organize styles specially when it comes to typography, specially thinking in terms of design systems and shared styles. Any improvements there are very welcomed, things like:Personalized order of styles per user ( maybe use AI to offer some help )  Nesting os styles beyond an exposed list, menu style with mouse tunnel and all would still be better in cases of more complex systems. Maybe add the another option like in variables: All, In this files, and than add list the sets for user to pick which one he wants to single out. More power here would be very good.Give us options, and I apologize bring this up but I feel like even Sketch at times gave us an easier to consume approach to this. Also:1-% and ems values for variables. WE BEG. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏2-Component level tie up of component variant name to Mode ( Desktop/Mobile), so we don’t have to sync up a component property value to modes every time we reuse one. Best

Hello,At my company, we have an Organization license that allows us to save custom fonts directly in the admin panel.The problem is that my company is a multi-brand company, and its brands change over time.Because of this multi-brand management, the font admin panel is not well adapted to our needs. I need to create folders or categories to separate the different fonts by brand. We currently have more than 50 fonts to manage.When there is a rebranding, we have to remember which fonts and weights are used for each brand, which is very difficult, and delete those ones.Please consider to add folder management, at least 1 level of folder. Thanks  

Hi! I’m trying to create an “author credit” component to document a design system. The component has a link to the original resource. All text will be set using component properties. Is it possible to create a property so the link URL is filled in the instance instead of using overrides?

With all the new AI features in Figma, the only thing missing is generative expand. If we could reframe or crop images and have the tool generate the additional sections of the image—allowing us to freely change aspect ratios—it would be game-changing and bring Figma closer to becoming the true Photoshop killer.

Having a rolling slide deck always being the source of truth (without the need to create copies) makes it super easy for business use - however we are largely unable to actively work on slide changes in these existing documents because of the risk it’s currently being viewed or presented.Being able to create a hidden branch and merge back into the main document (same as Figma Design) would make handling changes a breeze.

HiAs a maintainer of our Figma team (not admin tho) I was wondering if there is any possibility to access Figma Make analytics to understand the following:How many Figma Make files have been created? Which designers/teams are creating Make files? How many prompts are being used in which Make file? Thank you

For User Test Purposes It would be great to have custom IDs for each action a user performs on a prototype. Specially when using external tools that track clicks/links.i.e. if I want to track a click I can do it currently if the user navigated to a different frame that has a individual ID, but that is not possible if for instance the action is to open an overlay.By making it possible to add Trackable IDs to actions it would reduce by a lot the number of artboards needed. Thanks

Dear team,Why is it basically not possible to simply drag and drop a sound file (mp3, wav, etc.) into the platform? This would make things much easier and would also save resources, since audio files require significantly less storage capacity compared to video.As a sound designer, it’s always an extra step for me to convert sounds into video formats—and what starts as a 1MB mp3 quickly turns into a 100MB video. This seems unnecessarily inefficient. On top of that, it doesn’t look very nice to have “empty” videos with just a black screen.Surely there must be a better solution. I’d be happy to support you with my expertise if that would be helpful.Best regards!

I wasted an entire hour trying to figure out why the contents of my frame was bleeding out. Why is ‘Clip Content’ off by default? What a confusing UX decision. I don’t understand this change, it makes no sense. I haven’t seen anyone uncheck that box while working in Figma. Or if they do, they do it so rarely that it doesn’t make any sense to change it to off by default.

  I use custom code (CSS and JS) in Figma to optimize my website’s UI, but the current input area is too short. Editing longer snippets requires constant scrolling and slows me down. It may better if the input fields ara resizable. 

Hello,It would be interesting to be able to transfer an entire figma make prototype to figma in order to improve the design and make adjustments easily without losing the functionality of the prototype developed in figma make.To complete this feature, like many users, it would be useful to be able to save the entire project in GitHub.It would also be interesting to be able to upload modified files! 

Dear Figma team, I suggest a feature allowing vectorising pasted or placed image, as well as making AI generated image immediately vector instead of PNG. Please please add this feature ASAP. It’s the only reason I still have to keep Adobe Illustrator :( I hear vectorisation / tracing images is already available in BETA version .. But I can’t figure out how to get BETA version of Figma myself.
