We have a Design System with parent components composed of nested instances. Both parent components and nested instances are in the file “A”. To avoid having thousands of components available within the Assets when publishing the library, the nested instances are hidden with “.” at the beginning of their names. The problem: When using the component library from file “A” in file “B”, everything works fine. The issue arises when a nested instance from file “A” requires an update. Firstly, it does not allow me to publish the nested instance update without removing the “.” from its name, and I also cannot publish the parent component containing the updated nested instance. If somehow I manage to publish the parent component, file B will prompt me to update it, but the updated nested instance does not receive the changes made. Is this a bug? Or what is the correct way to work, update, and publish nested instances so that th

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev m

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a prototype in Figma, and I’m trying to achieve the following keyboard-based interaction: When I press the A key, an overlay appears. When I release the A key, the overlay closes automatically. I noticed that Figma’s "Key" trigger only allows actions to be triggered on key press, but I haven't found any way to differentiate between keydown and keyup, like you would with standard JavaScript events.Is there any workaround or trick to simulate this behavior directly in Figma?Or would I need to use an external tool (like ProtoPie, Framer, or a coded prototype) to make this interaction possible?Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

Maybe it’s too much to ask for a full-on photoshop within Figma, but here are two features that would help my team and I tremendously moving over from XD. The biggest issue is in XD we can easily click “open in photoshop”, edit an image, save, and go back to XD where that instance of the image is edited live. Some of the things we do very often are placing a color overlay over an image, and erasing parts of an image using a brush. Just thought I’d put this out in the world, thanks for reading!

After a late switch from Sketch to Figma about six months ago, here is my conclusion regarding the UX of Figma:While Figma has many great features that Sketch does not have (dev mode, way more capable prototyping, variables,…) the general UX of the tool is just sooo bad! Here are the things that annoy me most:Visibility of functions: There are so many functions hidden below a small icon that has no label. Much stuff is hard to find. And what drives me really nuts: When a function is not available, then its UI element (or entry in context menu) is hidden – not disabled! I’m using Figma for UX Design, and it just feels so wrong to use this tool that does not handle UX basics correctly itself.   Library management – publishing components: You can do this from the book button on the top left where you usually update components from other files, but publishing is mixed in here if you click on “This file”. But then you can only publish all cha

I’ve been using the Figma’s AI lately and it’s super useful. A useful feature would be the ability to change the image aspect ratio. Currently it’s using the default size, so If I want to expand an image This is How I should do it: ​​​​​A feature like “Expand Image” or “select aspect” ratio in edit image toolbox would be so useful.

Hi everyone, - please find below an alternative workaround to Figma 429 rate limits as well reducing weight on Figma infrastructure which helps the ecosystem ;). This as an immediate fix.The issue isn’t Figma’s limits themselves (which are more recently conservative and problematic), it’s the way large /v1/files/:key?ids=… calls pull entire subtrees (often megabytes), then trigger dozens of image requests when frames have 50-200 children. That burst pattern quickly hits Figma’s limits protection causing 4-5 day lockouts.A proposed solution is to stop fetching everything upfront and adopt a metadata‑first, prune‑first, fetch‑last pipeline:Fetch only component metadata. Pre‑filter locally to remove hidden frames, junk nodes and remote libraries. Fetch a pruned node tree with limited depth (depth=2–3) to keep responses <500 KB. Do code analysis an

So I have created a simple form component and used MAKE to create a working version suitable for prototyping (This allows me to have full text entry and validation).The biggest issue is I am unable to tell the ‘Submit’ button to navigate to the next page in the prototype.Even if I tell MAKE to navigate to that page it just doesn’t seem to work.Does anyone have a work-around or solution to this problem?

Have you ever sent over a design file for feedback to open it a week later with 40+ comments? I have and I’m sure you have too. The problemIt takes a lot of time to review comments after a feedback round. It can get repetitive and sometimes the feedback can mean the same thing but being written differently. If you have a lot of different commenters, the list becomes long and tedious to go through. The solutionOne button to summarise comments that will produce out a summary and propose the next steps. Each summary should include links to the root comment so the user can review the original comment. The summary could be in a tab in the comments panel where you can toggle between original comments and summary to easily go back and forth. 

Hi,Has the Figma team has ever considered a follow mode that allows followers to see the toolbars? I often show other designers how to do something in Figma, but I have to share my screen on Teams so they can see what I’m doing, and then they have to jump to Figma to edit and try what I’m doing themselves. They end up switching back and forth between the Teams and the Figma window.

I tried reaching out to the Figma Sales team back in July 2025 but haven’t received a response yet. I submitted another request today (11/24) through the “Contact Sales” form on the Figma website. We need Figma for our work, so it would be greatly appreciated if the Figma Sales team could get in touch with us as soon as possible.Thank you :)

I wonder why does Figma Make have a limited credit in Educational Plan. It’s sad that when I was making a prototype and I had to leave halfway. If there was a feature to increase the credit limit in some way even if the user is in Educational Plan that would be great.

I want to be able to export designs in PDF for print (CMYK/Hi-resolution) For now, I was using the plugin TinyImage Compressor but it’s no longer free and I don’t understand why Figma can have this option on it’s own. I’d have to pay $456 a year. If Figma has paper sizes, why don’t they have this option… you can’t print quality good quality colors in RGB. I’m going to have to go back to Adobe for print files. Is this happening to anyone else?

Hi,Look at this Text we have in our project:The content depends on `LogBundlesTitle`. It would be awesome to have easy way to change value of that variable without zooming out, clicking somewhere and looking for it in variables manually. Maybe some king of ‘set value’ icon to the right? Or some shortcut like Ctrl+click open variables dialog with this variable selected?

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

I know there was an update to hide the email in the share popup, but for invitees only. At that time we still see email from who request to view or edit.But now it’s gone. This siIIy dump 4ss UI! Why the heII do you think you should remove the email from the requesters?My company restrict employees to use external email to view internal files. In this UI I can not indicate which email he is using, or even is he one of my colleagues.***_- PLEASE REVERT NOW -_***

Hi! First of all-- congratulations on the release of CMS! I’m already super excited to create stuff with it and I’ve been playing around with it this morning. Hereby my humble feature requests for the future of CMS!Categories and tags with separate pages for their content. Search and date picker (for events) functionality. I would love to see component swapping supported inside CMS, so that I can pick a different component per CMS article if I want to highlight it on my list with a special component for example. (A feature like this would be ~ incredibly ~ powerful.) Or/and, the ability to change page variables in a CMS item, so you can for example change the colors of the page based on the variables set in the item. The ability to connect CMS fields to the SEO, so you can attach a meta description and social sharing image to each CMS article. The ability to hide CMS items from lists but still have them in your database and vi

I think this annotation feature is great, but the documentation isn’t well written. It gives the impression that users with view-only access can see annotations, which is not the case. It would also be very useful to extend this feature to viewers such as PMs or clients, so I can easily show them how a button or function is supposed to work. 

Portfolios and several page sites - okay, got it. Nice!But will we be able to publish blogs, web books, guides, wikipedias? With search engines, sorting / filtering techniques?I’m ready to build a huge web guide site, and so anxious to know CMS capabilities.Love you, Figma!

The mindmap is a critical feature in figjam and it requires a lot of improvements but at least these 2:collapsible trees better shortcuts (tab to move a node, enter to add a branch...)

Well, according to some earlier forum posts, Figma clearly has no plans to launch a Linux app. I don’t personally mind using it in a browser, but local fonts don’t work. Could we at least get a Fonts Helper for Linux, if not the full app? Thanks.

it’s a bit uncomfortable when i do have a prompt, and the system automatically force me to follow the answer generation in figma make. i want to read the start of the answer directly even before the answer is fully generated. i think this little improvement will be  very helpful, thanks!

Proposed FeatureAdd a status bar toggle in the design panel for mobile frames. When a default device frame is created, designers should be able to switch the matching status bar on or off without searching files, copying components, or rebuilding status bars manually.This removes the need for standalone status bar components in the layers panel. As long as the frame matches official device dimensions, the design panel shows the status bar toggle and applies the correct, up to date version automatically. This would cut setup time in early design stages and keep files cleaner.:) Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on this feature idea.  Further Improvements to the toggle• Automatic color inversion so the status bar keeps proper contrast on any background, similar to real devices• Controls to adjust status bar elements like the camera, microphone and location indicators
