Currently you are able to add up to nine screenshots for your published community file. I would like to upload a video to this area. Apparently you can do this for plugins, so I would like the feature for community files as well.  

Hey Community,   Using ComponentNode.key and ComponentNode.remote (boolean), I can detect remote components and import them via figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(). However, there’s no API to get the original source file name or library name of a remote component.Would it be possible to expose the component’s source filename or published library name in the Plugin API? This would help plugins display component origin info like the Figma UI does.

In other words a way to branch to/from a Community file Hi everyone, I publish a design system (DS) to the Community and have frequent updates to fix issues and add/update components. Community members duplicate this DS to their Organizational account to use in their own projects. They have reported to me that once they import the Figma file into their org and use it as a library they have no way of getting my latest updates easily and without breaking changes into their production design files that refer to the original “duplicated” file. So it would be great if there was a way to publish “get latest” or “subscribe to changes” in a community file. (Instead of having to restart design file from scratch in the latest version of the Design System). Librairies features are not an option as they are specific to an ORG and cannot be accessed through the community. And Swapping in this use case does not work well at all. This would be great for everyone as it would allow Figma to always ship

Description:Currently, when prompt requests are ready in Figma, users only see a visual indication. It would be very useful if Figma could also notify with a sound alert. This small improvement would help users notice requests faster, especially when they are multitasking or not constantly looking at the Figma window.👉 Suggested feature: Add an optional sound notification setting in preferences. Allow users to toggle it on/off depending on their workflow.

Quality of life suggestion:Could we get a check box list in the Annotation flyout to select then apply?Applying Annotations is a ton of clicking if I want to apply all the Attributes for say Fonts or anything like that. I usually skip the width and height but apply everything else, which you have to click Property, then click the actual property then repeat 8 Times. 

Hi there!I embeded Figma prototypes into a SharePoint Teams website. I successfully hid the Figma UI, but I’m noticing some white padding around the prototype. Is there a way to adjust or remove this padding by tweaking the iframe code, or is there another method I could try?The extra white space is affecting the website layout, especially on smaller screens. I appreciate your help with this!Thank you! A

I am part of the Design Language Team at Philips, where I work on creating and maintaining a precise iconography system based on strict grids and style rules in Figma.We would love to see Figma incorporate AI-assisted icon generation that works directly with these grids and guidelines.How it could work: Designers set up a grid + style parameters (stroke thickness, corner radius, proportions, etc.) inside Figma. Using a text prompt or simple shape input, AI generates multiple icon variations that fit exactly within those rules. Designers refine, adjust, and approve the output—keeping the creative process fast but still precise. Why this matters: Ensures AI-generated icons are consistent with brand and system standards. Speeds up icon exploration and reduces repetitive manual work. Allows teams to focus on higher-level creativity while maintaining strict design language control. At Philips, we have worked on a library of 1,000+ custom icons, and this is expected to grow to abou

It would be great if we could create a few custom components within a Figma Slides document. For example: being able to create a custom footer to use on all of your slides, that would contain maybe a company logo, a confidentiality notice, and page numbers. I’m able to create this component in a Figma Design library of course, and publish it and then access it in Figma Slides, but that has a few limitations: The component created in Figma Design is not able to use the font and color styles from the Figma Slides document; since it’s made in Figma Design, it either has no styles applied, or it uses those from another library. Then you’ve got multiple color and font styles mixing in the Figma Slides document, when I’d like to just use one set so it doesn’t get confusing. (Especially if we have non-designers editing the deck – the less styles/libraries available, the better.) I can’t easily make bulk changes to that component that will affect all the slides in only this slide deck. For ex

Found this thread via Google. I doubt anyone can fix my specific problem, but Make is extremely frustrating. It doesnt respond correctly to prompts and changes things for no reason so I’m stuck in a loop of fixing things only for something else to break. 

I’ve tried Figma Make and have struggled to get any meaningful results from it in the areas of my current process where it has the biggest opportunity. Other AI prototyping/LLM tools already bridge the gap for rapid, rough prototyping, exploring ideas, trying multiple approaches quickly, etc. All things that happen early on in the design process. What they can’t do, however, is closely match my designs (whether it uses my system components or not) visually (and quickly without forcing me to prompt it dozens of times about surface level issues). I assumed this is what Figma Make would capitalize on, but it falls very short. Figma Make is the most well positioned to take something I’ve already designed in high fidelity and make a robust, interactive prototype of it. It doesn’t even need to be working code that I can hand to a developer, that’s a different problem. But a prototype that clearly shows detailed (oftentimes complex) functionality that I can use to demo for devs, usability tes

I just noticed this while right clicking a Figma file in the Projects grid list and having my Figma set to Light Mode: the context menu itself is still dark mode (and I normally am on dark mode, I just need to go to Light Mode for screenshots for a tutorial I'm putting together.)The context menu when right clicking over a Figma file in the Projects list view shows the menu still set in dark mode even if Figma itself is set to Light modeI tried to see if it was just for the things in the Figma Home tab, and noticed that the context menus when right clicking the tabs do change to Light mode when Figma is in Light mode:Right clicking the tabs in the Figma Desktop app shows that the menu turns to light mode when Figma is set to Light mode tooJust a visual bug. Figured I should log it somewhere 😄

Connected projects are likely to be sharing the same set of libraries out to external teams. Allow for specifying a default set of libraries to be shared for Connected projects. Somewhere in Admin > Resources > Libraries or in Admin > Content > Connected projects (or both?)

I have a lot of designs where I have a long list of items (using auto layout) that I want to paste something somewhere in the middle of. I would love a way to paste something after a selected item.  My current workflow is to select parent `/`, then paste, then drag it upwards.  Often when first pasting it inside an sibling item the layout properties are changed on the item you’re pasting, so that’s not really an option.  The Paste here seems to ignore any layout rules. 

Removing floating panels after we’ve gotten used to them is quite disappointing, especially since we can’t get them back. It would be great to implement an option in theme preferences to enable them again. Some users ‘didn’t like’ them, but there are others who did. Instagram

Would be great if we could collapse the modal of the plugin we are using (similar to the RHS panel when following someone) to minimise clutter on the screen and to allow us to re-open and continue using the plugin rather than going through the menu again :)(very crude mockup)  

Hello All,I’m having an issue with Figma Make declaring environment variables as false and reverting to fallback after validating my Supabase URL and anon key.Using fallback Supabase URL. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL environment variable. Using fallback anonymous key. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY environment variable.Make has gone in circles multiple times at this point with no resolution. Confirmed that the URL and Key entered are correct. The debug modal shows that Supabase is connected and the environment variable is set. Make also created a validation pop-up to re-enter both which I did and validation was confirmed. I’ve also had Make completely remove and reintegrate the Supabase connection to start off clean. Same issue.Some context: this is happening at the end of the onboarding processing for my site when the user is prompted to add their email and password to create an account.Anyone have any insight into what may be causing the issue? Happy to provide more details if req

I love that there are finally annotations built into the product but they always seem to overlap relevant content. I want to be able to move them around or at least have alternative positioning options. 

there isn’t enough of a difference between design and draw mode, and i was so confused when i couldn’t find the auto-layout options. the bottom bar pretty much contains the same things and draw should be included within design modes and the sidebar should contain all information

Please consider adding an image trace feature that would trace the lines of an image and converts them to vector lines for editing

I was thinking of a button like clip content with frames but for shapes! to help with designing icons and vectors, if there was a clip content option anything outside of the shape would not be visible. I think this would be helpful but not sure how useful it would be for others. Also I cannot seem to figure out the slice tool? maybe it is different than adobe but I cannot get it to work (trim excess from two intersecting shapes/vector paths).Really I have no idea what I am talking about but if someone knows how to make better use of the existing features to help me understand how they work with shapes please let me know.  

I have one advice please add a feature to move token name from one collection to other collection. I had to recreate token names as I made them on wrong collection. There has to be a way to move them.

Hey everyone!I’m looking to embed a Figma file using Embed Kit 2.0, and hoping to allow users to navigate directly to the main content via the "Skip to Content" link thats available in the regular prototype link after hitting [Tab]. Has anyone been successful in triggering this within the Embed Kit 2.0 iframe? If it’s not supported out-of-the-box, has anyone been successful with a workaround? Cheers,Blake

Hi Figma Team,I really appreciate the Actions menu and how powerful it is for speeding up workflows. It’s become an essential part of my design process.That said, I feel like the current design of the Actions menu misses the mark in a few key ways: Placement: Right now, it’s anchored at the bottom center of the screen. This feels unintuitive and out of the way, especially for a feature that’s meant to be quickly accessible. Most spotlight-style search interfaces (like Raycast or even VS Code’s command palette) are placed center screen, or slightly above center, which aligns more naturally with where a user’s focus tends to be. Raycast even allows repositioning, but still suggests a more central default – and it works well. Size & Usability: The current UI for the Actions menu feels too small – both in font size and overall scale. It doesn't feel as easy or comfortable to interact with as it could be, particularly for users on larger screens or those who rely on accessibility feat

Hi. 3D Transforms are a standard CSS feature that’s missing, and I keep feeling like my hands are tied behind my back without it. There are skew plugins, but I cannot find a 3d transform plugin to simply rotate around x, y, and z. Adobe XD recently added this. Hoping it’s coming soon for Figma. https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/xd/help/design-in-perspective-using-3D-transforms.html
