Share Your Thoughts

My team made the switch from XD and one thing we really miss is being able to see ALL your comments in the comments section and being able to click on a comment to navigate to the screen the comment was made on. Please add this feature

Need I say more?

Add a laser pointer to the board so it would be easier for the presenter to direct the attention of audiences to specific parts without the need to actually underline, write, circle etc on the board.

Would be great to be able to create Grid layout, in line with what is available with CSS.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 PLEASE  🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Add vecotr animaions within figma prototypes.I would love to run eithe lottie, rive or alternatives in my prototype please!Your current plugins only support gif (come on we are not in the 90s anymore) and you state you have lottie support but this is not accurate.I’m sure this is a highly requested item.Please can this be added

I have a very distinct first and last name. My Figma profile uses my full name, which is important for our organization-- coworkers and partners in Figma need to be able to easily tag me in comments and see who worked on files. However, I would like a way to have a different display name and handle for the Figma Community. I don’t really want my questions about plugins, etc. to be publicly searchable if someone were to Google my name. I prefer to have a privacy option and keep my professional work and personal online presence as separate as possible.

I don’t understand why FigJam won’t let us use components inside files. This wasn’t a problem before the latest updates and it makes absolutely no sense. Part of what makes Slides great is that it’s part of Figma. Let me use my colors, fonts, and components please!

I’ve been using variants a lot and for huge numbers of components, it’s amazingly time-consuming. Plugins help but having a keyboard shortcut for “Combine as variants” and “Create multiple components” would help tremendously. Idally, everything would be possible to bind to a custom shortcut. I am proposing the following shortcuts: Create component ⌥⌘K Create multiple components ⌥⇧⌘K Create component set ⌃⌥⌘K Combine as variants ⌥⌘V

If I have nothing selected (2 things needed) - then CTRL+S is saving.If I have two things selected - CTRL+S creates a section. Who got this “great” idea to take a really important saving shortcut and make it two features?And, even if it’s bad and it stays, why doesn’t it create a section from 1 thing selected? WHY? What is the train of thought of people who work on features of this software? WTF?You either ruin things or destroy STANDARDS.

While I appreciate Figma supporting natively spell check, it’s mainly for the English US.I am working inside UK area and I need spell check to work for English UK more.I hope this is something devs can look at it and possibly it can be easy to implement update inside the app. 

I want to open the figma file URL directly within the Figma desktop app. Suggestion: when clicking on the new tab in the desktop app, I can add the URL in the search bar to directly open the file within desktop app. Problem: It’s frustrating to open the copied figma file URL in browser then wait for it to open the app. 

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 except for the rare case when I’m copy/pasting a hex value from somewhere else. It’s certainly not the primary way I want to see / work with colors. I’d love it if that display of HEX values in the UI was instead HSL. And secondarily, I’d love it if when a color s

I would like an option to differentiate a comment vs a question so when I am sharing designs with clients, I know where are the key questions to focus on vs general comments by myself or other users.

It is irritating to need to keep looking up how to do common functions because Figma doesn’t follow conventions. Please have the humility to acknowledge most software conventions are learned outside Figma and follow those conventions even if you desire to break the mold. https://lawsofux.com/jakobs-law/I keep needing to look up how to turn text into links. Please, just let me use Ctrl-K.

Hi, I am currently testing the new Figma-UI3. First of all, thank you for all of your amazing work! Unfortunately there is not shown a branch status (e.g. “In-review”, “Merged”, etc.) anymore. I would recommend displaying the status of a branch in Figma-UI3 like it was previously in UI2 (see below). Cheers, Clemens

Disclaimer: I’m a laptop user (16" macbook) and everything below is related to using the app on a small screen. Here’s the thing: Figma has auto-layout, complex components and variables which allow us to make complex designs, right? And objects on canvas can easily have million layers inside. Now, layers panel is… “underthought” I’d say. Because it’s not actually made for anything complex. It has huge paddings and no horizontal scroll which makes me resize the panel to almost half-screen width to see all my layers. And resize it back because I also need to see my canvas. Here’s my suggestion: Smaller paddings. Horizontal scroll in layers.

Figjam just changed their color palette (that looks quiet bad). My problem is that old stickies are still in the old palette, so when I edit a Figjam created before the palette update, I cannot add stickies that are the same color as the existing ones ! The only workout is to change the color of each old sticky note one by one… Expected behaviour : stickies placed before the palette update should be switched to the new palette! (as opposed to frames and shapes that support custom colors should stay as they are)

Hi Figma Team! 👋I have a few ideas that could improve Figma and make it even more versatile:1️⃣ Add a new Instagram post frame – Currently, Figma includes the standard 1080×1080 size, but another widely used format is 1080×1350 (portrait format). It would be great to have this as a preset option.2️⃣ Allow users to create custom frames – Sometimes, I need to create frames with specific dimensions, such as an A4 300 DPI frame for print. Having the ability to set custom resolutions and other parameters would be very useful and safe for next time use3️⃣ Improve optimization for printing – Enhancing rendering and print preparation would help maintain high quality and ensure colors are print-friendly.I’d love to see these features in Figma! Thanks for all your great work 💙

I would very much like a feature to maintain the same width of items in an Autolayout with wrap - even when they are dynamic using “Filled” Ex. i have 3 items in autolayout with wrap on. Width is set to Filled Max width for items are 200 Min width for items are 100 My autolayout width is 300 = all items are on the same row I change autolayout width to 200 = items in 1st row are now 100px wide, Item 3 is pushed to a new row, but stays 100px wide

This may be a dumb question… I uploaded an avatar to my account to replace the default first name initial avatar. However after a few days, I want to reset the avatar to the initial version rather than the image based one I uploaded. But it seems like there’s no way to do through the Account settings. Pressing on the avatar itself or “Edit” will simply prompt for a new image. Can anyone confirm this is the case?

While our teams and the amount of projects grow, it becomes harder to find and identify the right files on the search page. I would like to suggest to include the team name and project name in the meta data of the search results. Similar to a bread crumb in google search results.

These are some of the new Fig Jam default colors. I know there are ways to customize the palette but this is wild. Why did you guys lighten the green and blue? What’s up with this cyan? In theory these colors should look okay together but they do not.

I frequently have components that have either been orphaned or that I’ve inherited from other designers that contain empty interactions (for example, a click trigger that is set to “None”).Then, I will come along and try to create a new interaction by drawing a prototype arrow between frames, and it defaults to “On drag” which completely screws me up, causing me to have to troubleshoot why the interaction I created is not working. Almost invariably, I’ll have to delete this orphaned click interaction and fix my new interaction.As far as my experience, this is unwanted and wasteful behavior. It would be much more intuitive to simply overwrite empty click interactions when I draw a new arrow. This should be the workflow with any type of interaction (click, drag, hover, etc.). If I create a new interaction, it should replace an empty one of the same type.

Currently it’s not possible to dynamically set or assign mode variables to a frame or a document. This would be incredibly helpful when it comes to user settings, like change a theme or language, for example. When prototyping, dynamically setting a mode variable like systemTheme or systemLanguage could then be done through user interactions like clicking a button, to simulate many real-life use cases.

As the title describes, i’m finding it odd when other prototype tools have native lottie support and figma only have it as a GIF since i recently move the majority of my work to figma.
