Hey guys,I don’t use masking too often, but everytime I use, I am baffled about the lousy UX :)) I mean it’s like nobody gave a flying !@#$ about it :))The mask has to be underneath the masked object. Totally opposite to any form of logic, especially since the mask is alwas smaller than the masked object, so selecting those two has to be done by clicking/dragging over the area to make sure both are selected. That can be a pain in the butt if you have many elements on the frame, and then you have to rely solely on finding the elements in the assets panel. Good lunk with that :)) If you mask an object, you have to probably group it afterwards? Otherwise, if you wanna move it, you’re just moving the masked object behind the mask, while the mask stays in place. Makes perfect sense????!!!! If you wanna edit the mask you have to find it in the assets panel, no click/hover will help you in that situation.I can probably come up with

Our team is part of a larger organization, and all our Figma files are in one Figma Team for which I am a team admin. We have some Default Libraries set for the entire team, but need the additional ability to set Default Libraries for specific project folders. I’m not seeing the settings to do this right now.

Just saw the new sketching and fill tools appear. You’re on track to own vector production. Now go after raster/print (seriously)! Amazingly, Quark Xpress is still alive and seems to have developed some serious content-management tools. Buy them! Bring print production into a collaborative Figma space. 

A la Adobe Illustrator, please. I want to glide in and out of zooms, not jump.

Sorry for the long message, but it's really important, so I wanted to share the full story.I believe the option to trigger auto width and auto height text resizing via the command palette was unintentionally overlooked. This feature fits naturally with other text-related actions already available in the palette and should be included for consistency and usability.Adding it would not impact the UI or workflow for anyone who doesn’t use it, but for those who do, it can be a significant efficiency gain. It’s a small fix with meaningful benefits, and optional shortcut support would be a welcome addition.Currently, for every text element, we have to manually change the default resizing settings. On UI screens with many text boxes, this becomes a repetitive and inefficient process that adds unnecessary clicks and slows down the workflow.Adding a command to the command palette for auto width and auto height would solve this without affecting the interface or exi

You can do that right now like this:https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/how-to-delete-a-variant-property-26406?postid=51847#post51847But there are a couple of problems:1. You will lose the component description2. It doesn't feel right in general having to do it this way (moving the variant out of the component) when you should be able to do it the same way you can ungroup elements. I already created a post to suggest this feature, but then I realized I created it as a question and I recreated it to make it a conversation instead.

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? I cannot modify the thickness of lines, both in arrows and in figures 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? select object or line and when the options appear, there is no tool to change the thickness 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.

The problem is, I felt like I was being ignored because I had to change from ‘Bent’ to ‘No endpoints’ over 100 times. It was really painful and distracted me from my workflow. I wish I could quickly switch the connector style (Bent, Curved, or No endpoint) by using a shortcut. I could  keep on typing “X” when I want to change an optional setting (Bent, Curved, or No endpoint) on the keyboard. It would keep the same settings for the last time I used them (currently, it defaults to ‘Bent’).  

Problem:When on design mode, you can move between slides with up+down and right+left arrows.But when presenting you can ONLY move between slides with the right+left arrows, which is un-natural to RTL languages (such as Hebrew).Solution:Adding the up+down arrows option to the present mode can be very helpful here.

When trying to add an interaction to a frame (such as On Click > Back), I would expect clicking the (+) icon on a frame to allow me to edit interaction properties. Instead, you have to go to the right pane to do this.XD had something like this and thought it was convenient. Seems like an easy win to me.  

When I was working on large-scale projects, I found that some design drafts often couldn't be done with Figma and were made using Photoshop. However, I needed to display them in my Figma design drafts for members of the project team or developers to view. But at this point, I have two solutions: one is to convert PSD files to PNG photo format, and the other is to convert all design drafts to third-party annotation software. So my idea is whether Figma can develop a PSD parsing function. If this function takes too much time, can it provide a thumbnail image for viewing PSD annotations or a plugin like function? What do you think? I often experience lag in Figma UI 3.0, which is not as smooth as before

Allow branching of branches to allow for feature branches from the development branch and development branches from the master branch. This would be closer to what we currently have in Git and would allow for more control. The development branch could represent all reviewed and approved feature design work that had been done but not necessarily released live in code. The master branch would represent what is live in production.

The ‘Team Fonts’ feature provides a centralized font library, allowing team members to share and manage commonly used fonts. Through this feature, teams can ensure consistency across all design documents, while also making it easier for team members to find and use the fonts they need. For instance, fonts unique to Mac users can be uploaded to the ‘Team Fonts’ for sharing with Windows members. We believe this feature can further enhance Figma’s user experience, especially for teams with a substantial need for font resources. We look forward to Figma considering our proposal and are willing to provide further feedback and suggestions to help refine this feature.

Hello Figma Team,As we continue to build more detailed and complex components using the properties panel, we’re finding it increasingly difficult to maintain visual clarity and organization—especially when there are multiple variants or nested properties.While the original designer might understand the structure, it becomes quite inefficient and confusing when collaborating with other team members or handing off to developers.It would be incredibly helpful if we had the ability to add custom dividers or section separators within the properties panel. Even a simple visual line or labeled grouping would significantly improve usability and communication within teams.Is there any plan to support this kind of feature in the near future? 

アノテーションはとても良く便利で利用してますが、位置が固定されると他のフレームなどに被って邪魔になりがちです。何等かの方法で自由移動できるような仕様ってできますか？コメントのように。

Is there a way to save local copies as .figs from file browser without having to go into each one individually? Thanks!

Add oportunity to use CURSOR or others AI Code Agents into the Figma Make to give ability to code in different languadges directly in figma. Or made something like MCP integration inside Figma Plugin in VS Code

Hello, I find myself using “Nudge Amount” very often, and it’s not quite efficient as I have to switch it very often. I was thinking it would be perfect to have the nudge amount settings per page. Many thanks!

Right now in Buzz if you give someone a template and want to let them swap out an image, they can only Upload an image from their computer to “replace” the image, OR drag in an image from a library from scratch, but it won’t replace the existing image.Uploading an image from your computer is a good way to replace, but we want to give content editors a library of images to choose from that we curate.Ideally in this view there would be a Library icon, and then we could choose a photo from a Library to replace the image. This feels like a big miss compared to Express, which handles this much better.  

Problem:I love annotations, but having to select a category and property each time with my mouse is painful. It’s the main reason I have stopped using them - by creating my own annotation, I can just option + drag to create a copy of an annotation that has the category or property I’m looking for, and skip a step. But this is also not ideal. Solution:Let me add annotations without having to take my hands off my keyboard after I click on what I want to annotate!Suggestions:Default categories and annotations based off of what I just did Smart suggestions for annotations or categories Shortcuts for assigning categories or annotations Slightly more complex shortcuts for initiating annotations (such as: 1. Shift+t to go select the annotate cursor 2. Press and hold shift to duplicate last annotation category, then click 3. Press an

Is there was any particular reason to make “State” an collapsed accordion?Bit annoying to have to expand them for each noodle, every single time I click into it. The options don’t take up much real estate, seems silly to hide. 😤  

How can I hide the Layers panel in Figma’s new UI?I mostly work in the Design panel, so hiding the Layers panel would give more canvas space.It was easy in the previous UI.

When I move a component to another file or simply remove one from the library and publish changes, I see a very confusing message “Unpublishing library”, then “Library successfully unpublished”. I only removed one component from the library, but if feels like I am unpublishing the whole library.

Hi, you know how it is. Sometimes you have to repeat the same actions over and over again on a whole lot of objects. I would love to have an AI powered assistant that understands what I’m trying to achieve. After doing the same thing twice, I should be able to tell Figma, “Hey, do the same for these 250 selected items!”
