There are times I want to have Figma Make use csv or json files for data retrieval. Currently, the AI has to build a UI component in the preview window to allow this to happen. I should be able to upload files in the chatbox.

Would be really nice to have line hops for when creating complex IA charts or other interaction maps, site maps, etc. Sometimes it’s hard to not have 2 lines cross and having a line hop is a really nice feature. If you’re looking for an example, Omnigraffle has had this feature for quite a while.

When updating a component from a library and clicking “update all” (either all updates, or all instances of one update), Figma will immediately tell you that the updates have been applied. But especially in cases when there’s a lot of instances to update, they clearly are not, as the whole client will slow down to a crawl for a considerable while and the updated versions keep slowly changing in the view. Could you maybe add a spinner and a message that tells me when it’s actually done and I can work again.Also the ability to set some frames/pages to ignore updates would be nice. I can have things I don’t want changing even if I update the rest of the page. Skipping those instances by hand every time is a pain in the ass.

It would be cool if you could right click and fill container and hug content and ignore auto layout. These are used a lot.  

Hello Awesome People! First of all, I’m sorry if this has been asked somewhere already, I tried searching but didn’t see anything. Is there a way to know what design files have detached a component? Here’s an example scenario, I open up a DS file and navigate to the library analytics I click to view more details on a component which says it’s got 3 detaches I arrive on a screen with all the variants listed for this component, I click on one which states it’s got 1 detach I then arrive on a screen which is listing 16 pages and I’m not clear why wanting to just find the file that has the detached component. I hope the above makes sense, thanks in advance for any pointers here 😊

Hi Figma Team!I’d love to request a small but meaningful feature: Could you please make Figma remember the UI state (e.g. when panels are minimized) across sessions? Right now, even after clicking “Minimize UI”, the left and right panels open again after restarting the app. For those of us who work in a clean, focused canvas — having to manually hide the UI each time is a bit of a chore. Would be amazing to have an option like “Remember UI layout on startup” or “Start with minimized UI” in Preferences.Thanks for all your hard work — Figma is awesome! 🙌

Hey!I’m working with assigning primitive color variables to semantic color variables and sometimes I’m not sure which color is the right one. If Figma shows the hex color value, when hovering the color swatch, while selecting the color variable I want to use would be SOOOO helpful.  Thank you!

Hi everyone, I use connector lines for my flows, but for many months now, they have suddenly stopped attaching correctly to the right-side connection point of an object. With every Figma update, I keep hoping for a fix, but the issue persists.This only happens on the Mac desktop app. I often have to switch to the Chrome browser just to make this adjustment. It's frustrating, I know!It's also sad to see that this bug was reported here months ago, almost a year now, and there is still no resolution... I hope this gets some attention soon.  

So I’ve seen similar posts before, but I’m putting this out there because its something that needs to be implented.Let me give an example, I’ve got a component for showing to elements side by side, one of the elements is a contact form, said contact form is also a component of its own.If I place a component instance of the layout component it only shows the properties for itself and not its children.It would be so useful if it could also show child properties.I would suggest showing “Parent/Current Component Properties”, a divider below it and then you list all properties the user in question added to it.Then if there are any child components you show “<CHILD_COMPONENT_NAME>’s Component Properties”, another divider and then all the properties that child has. Repeated until all child component properties have been listed.Of course someone could make a ridiculous setup where there’s like 10 - 20 child components that are each a child of the other child, which could create issues wh

Hola, ¿cómo están?El título del posteo es autoexplicativo: lo que estoy pidiendo es que independientemente de cual sea la variante por defecto del icono, en el panel de assets se muestre la variante de mayor tamaño o en su defecto algo que facilite su visualización (por ejemplo, un factor de escala de 2x automático).En su archivo de la comunidad “Simple Design System” lo que uds. hicieron fue poner por defecto la variante de mayor tamaño para que en el panel de assets se viera con mayor tamaño.Como esto es algo que es más bien un “hack” lo que estoy pidiendo es que deje de serlo y pase a mostrarse los assets en un tamaño más accesible sin necesidad de alterar el orden de las variantes.Esta solución solo la imagino para iconos, porque si bien podria aplicarse a componentes pequeños seria dificil de predecir el resultado para componentes de mayor tamaño.Este posteo está en el espiritu de la pregunta ¿cómo podemos mejorar esto?No tengo la solución, pero si la necesidad de poder visualizar

Is it compulsory for the connector to snap to the edge of the screen? what if i want to show connection between specific elements in 2 different screens ? Also please provide good connectors in Figma as well  

Currently, in prototype the cursor appears to be either ‘pointer’ (for everything) or ‘hand’ (if a click interaction set up on an element). I would like to be able to change this to a text cursor, when hovering over an input field in my proto. Affordance is a very important part of UI so surprised theres no way to do this? Of course can hack it by adding an image of a cursor, but then you end up having that plus the actual cursor on screen & it makes things worse. Should be an easy feature to add and would be very much appreciated!

Context (You can skip it) I’m working on a plugin that stores frames designed in Figma independently, so different, unrelated to each other, people can use and edit them in their own Figma Files. Designs selected by a user are exported. If another user needs to edit the designs, it can import them to its own Figma File and save it. If another user needs to render the designs outside Figma, it can choose them from an Admin Panel Moreover, designs should have a possibility to implement Widgets, which should be stored and restored as well. Problem Widgets can’t be created by Plugins, they can only be cloned. Which is a problem in my case because exported designs may contain Widgets, which may not be familiar to another user, thus it can’t be imported back. Proposal I understand that this is probably for security reasons, but I really want to see this feature and I think I have a nice way to make it possible. createWidgetById I propose a new method for PluginAPI, which will be able to c

Introducing an Invisible Mode for Figma to enhance user privacy. This feature allows users to work without showing their online status, preventing others from following their activity. Perfect for focused, distraction-free design sessions.

A back button (and possibly a forward button) would be very helpful in the sidebar to navigate larger Figma files with multiple pages.

It’s hard to find the “Restore this version” button once a chat goes beyond 100 messages. Figma should add pinned Next/Prev buttons in the top bar, allowing users to preview each version after a chat and then decide which one to restore.

Hello Figma team and community,I’ve been working on a project where I need to display detailed information about multiple people (or products) in a modal. The setup is simple: Each Card component has exposed properties (Name, Job, Description, Photo). On hover/click, the card should open a global Modal that shows the same information. Currently, the only way to make this work in prototypes is to use Set variable → literal values (e.g., selName = "Norman"). This means: Every instance of the card requires manually duplicating interactions with hardcoded values. If I update the Card property (e.g., change the person’s name or job), the modal still shows the old hardcoded value unless I also update the variable action. This breaks scalability. For 10, 20, or 50+ people, it becomes very time-consuming and error-prone. 💡 What I would like to request:The ability for Variables to “read” the exposed properties of a component instance and pass those values dynamically to the Modal. In oth

Your current plans do not include a standalone option for just Figma Sites. It is not necessary to buy a full seat plan just because someone wants to use Figma Sites, right? Let’s offer a variety of different plans to make it easier for customers to choose

why make this so hard? This should be in an obvious place. I read the info on the site seems to be out of date anyone know where this is? It’s supper annoying to look for billing info and writing in help chats instead of doing proper work. going rate this product way longer just because I wasting my time on things that should easily accessible.

Although Figma recommends Focusing on desktop and full-screen friendly outcomes, the available frame presets are only for mobile. So every time, I end up having to create custom sizes for desktop or tablet.

Is there a way to change the Background Color for the following: Figma Dev Mode - Component Playground panel Figma Dev Mode - Compare Changes panel Currently the colors of my components and the background clash, and I’m unable to properly view the components in those listed panels/views.

Hi Figma team,I often need to show the flow between screens or components in my Figma design files. Currently, I find myself copying arrows from FigJam into Figma because they’re quick, lightweight, and visually ideal for interaction mapping.One of the things I really appreciate about FigJam arrows is how they automatically adjust when elements are moved and how they bend intelligently, something most plugins or manual arrow workarounds don’t handle well. It’s a huge time-saver when exploring flows or doing quick iteration, and it keeps everything clean and readable.With the recent addition of annotation and measurement tools in Figma, I was wondering if similar arrow/connector functionality could be added natively to Figma design files. Having this built in would make it so much easier to communicate user journeys, navigation, or logic flows directly within a design file, especially during handoff or design reviews.Thanks for all the amazing updates you’ve been rolling out!

Feature to create 'flow interactions’. Meaning interactions that are only active within a specified flow. If no flow is specified, the interaction behaves as it currently does.This feature would allow to assign different actions to the same element (e.g., a button) depending on the active flow.For example:In Flow A, clicking a button navigates to Page A. In Flow B, clicking the same button navigates to Page B.Would help for: Easily compare different user journeys without duplicating frames or creating multiple prototypes Reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate copies of the same element or screen for different flows Supports more complex, context-aware prototyping scenarios

Hi Figma team, First, thanks for the amazing work on the design tools. I’d like to request a larger window for the color variable picker. I understand that resizing the text style picker might be difficult due to font binding and async loading. However, for the color variable picker, it seems relatively straightforward since the window can already be dragged. Is there a reason why resizing isn’t supported? Modified by tampermonkey

Similar to how we can filter colors from different libraries, We also should be able to select and filter typographies from different libraries.Colors Library Selection:
