I find it really frustrating to have to either hold the space button or toggle between the hand tool to move around on my board. Can you please include an option to let us hold the right mouse button to hover and move around on the board?

When I create a template, the template should CLEAR the conversation thread for all users, including me, the owner. When creating a template, it would be nice to have a checkbox where I could say “clear conversation thread for everyone”.

When using Figma slides I have to go back to a Figma doc to edit vector graphic elements, otherwise the graphics get messed up when editing in Figma Slides. 

Videos can autoplay once you’re on a slide instantly but doing multiple elements that sequentially animate seems to require two clicks to get the first element to animate and trigger the rest. It makes it tricky for presenting to know which slides are one click and which are two clicks. Please make it possible for first image element on page to auto appear (without using smart animate) and trigger the rest of the elements. 

My prototypes have a lot of animations which my Macbook Pro has no problem rendering when I present from my computer; however, many of my non-designer colleagues don’t have the same luxury of a good graphics card on their computers, causing my prototype to run very slowly when they ‘re demoing my prototype to other teams.  Rather than maintain two prototypes or worse, manually disable the transitions I set for my prototype and undo all the work I did so that it’s playable by under powered computers, it would be helpful to have a setting in presenter mode to toggle animations on and off. A good example would be like modern video game consoles having performance and fidelity modes. The former optimizes frame rate at the cost of fidelity, where the latter optimizes for resolution with a fixed lower frame rate. In the context of Figma, all animated transitions could be toggled to play as “instant” in “Performance” mode but could be easily turned back on to see the prototype as it was fully

My team needs to review all UI copy. That copy goes into a library so we can be consistent across the product. I’m trying to review and update the copy in Figma Make. However, it’s impossible to extract the reviewed copy so I can add it to the library. A separate file in code view would not only make it easier to review and make sure we haven’t missed anything (even if we then have to update the .tsx file also) but also have that record.

While working with complex prototypes, I see the following features are missing: Management of a local database for components. Copy/paste of created components (e.g., File.tsx) between pages. See all created pages and easily navigate between them. Identify where an element is a component versus hardcoded with the same appearance. Configure component properties.

I wish I could zoom the Figma UI without also zooming the canvas. That is all.

Hey there! 👋 It always has bothered me that Figma’s general UI is slightly too tiny / has very small font sizes and I hoped that View>Interface Scale would solve this issue. Figma’s small font size and icon size make it quite difficult to navigate through the app without having hawk eyes. Sometimes elements (especially in Effects menu) are small click targets. Scaling the Interface up seems like a good idea to counter this and improve readability and clickability. Unfortunately at this rate, it’s not a real solution for me. It is pretty much useless to me since it also scales your designs / the canvas. I’d like to scale the UI (Sidebars, Top Bar) only and keep my design canvas untouched to remain at an actual 100% scale. The current behaviour doesn’t make much sense to me. If I’m designing for example a screen at 1920px width I’d like to see an actual 1920px screen. My work depends on the canvas representing the pixels at 1:1 / @1x scale. Sure, a workaround could be to view

So If text overflows from one, it can show up in another textbox. This would be useful for two-column/grid composition and responsive layouts.

Hi Figma Team, I would love to have an option to collapse variable groups in the variable modal. Problem: Every time I’m opening the variable modal, each group is being expanded. Having a lot of component tokens as variables, this means either: Collapsing each group manually, until I get to the desired variable group. Or scrolling a looong way down until I reach the desired variable group. Solution: A) By default variable groups should be collapsed, not expanded B) A shortcut to collapse all groups

The absent ability to add a master slide, page numeration and even components inside Figma Slides is a reason why my clients could refuse to make a transit from power point to Figma slides. And it is upsetting.

I know this issue has been raised many times here in the forums but I’m raising it again as I believe it is an important issue that needs to be addressed. And the fix for this issue would be very easy for Figma to implement. I consistently run into issues where colleagues will click on my avatar in Figma and follow me around the canvas and then leave it on for the whole day. Figma doesn’t even alert the user that they are being followed around the canvas which is incredibly frustrating. And there is no way to remove people from following your cursor around a Figma document. Previously, I could quit Figma and it would remove any followers but even after opening Figma again, the followers are still following me around the canvas. All I’m proposing is a small feature that would give users the ability to either “accept” or “decline” followers in a Figma document along with the ability to  “Allow any user to follow” for the instances where you are presenting to large groups of people and yo

Since a recent release we can already do some text style overrides. While maintaining the connection to a text style we can bold, italic and underline by using keyboard shortcuts. Example in UI where I made a part bold: Is there any change we can get the same feature for subscript and superscript? This would enable us to maintain the text style, while entering formulas like: Currently I have to disconnect the text style and then change the position. Which also isn’t the easiest feature to find. This probably also requires putting making something sub- or superscript under some kind of keyboard shortcut, it currently isn’t: Note that there is no problem using m³ for example, because I can just enter these as characters using my compose key (on Linux).

Proponho a implementação de suporte a Markdown nas propriedades de texto dos componentes no Figma. Essa funcionalidade permitiria aplicar formatação tipográfica de forma declarativa e padronizada diretamente no conteúdo textual (ex.: **bold**, _italic_, # Heading). Além de reduzir a dependência de estilos manuais, isso facilitaria a prototipagem de conteúdos dinâmicos e a integração com sistemas de design tokens. O parser de Markdown poderia ser implementado como uma camada de pré-processamento antes da renderização, garantindo consistência entre documentação, prototipação e handoff para engenharia.

Hello, I am new to Figma but could not notice how difficult it is to navigate.Everything is so tiny and so difficult to move around and enlarge.Seems like UX is not the strong side of Figma. Thanks.

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
