Two new figma updates i’d love to see:Figma to add a way in the left rail where you can CHOOSE to expand main layers independent from sublayers. Currently you can only expand all, or collapse all.  For there to be a way to find and/or select all hidden layers at once.

Please organize the exposed nested instances better. Having every nested instance expanded and not grouped by parent instance is so difficult to parse through. these nested instances repeat for each card in the carousel. please group them by card with a clear header not just a dropdown chevron. 

As a lead designer of a growing product, I want to make sure my cured designs are hard to leak.The logic of the designs, carefully reviewed by stakeholders of all sorts, should be protected from easy copying. Some engineering might help alert users about their exports being noticed.1) Restrict screenshots;2) Have a list of users who’ve used [Cmd+Shift+C] to track every export move;What are your thoughts on this? 

Hello! I wanted to report a problem with the text component The component works great in all languages, but I noticed that in the Hebrew language (and probably also in Arabic) the order of the letters is reversed This is a well-known problem in Hebrew because it needs RTL support .redro esrever ni nettirw si txet elohw eht taht si ti gnitartsurf woh kniht tsuJ (Just think how frustrating it is that the whole text is written in reverse.) Another important thing to note is that we (speakers of RTL languages) are very aware of this problem, but designers who do not speak these languages ​​often encounter this problem without noticing. For example, even in the familiar game - Brawl Stars (They corrected this after the post was published) and many others have problems with the Hebrew text displayed in the screenshots of the game in Google play For the developers of Figma- I found great documentation for the implementation of RTL in SVG: Creating SVG Tiny Pages in Arabic, Hebrew and other

I would love to have some basic editing functionality on the iOS and Android App! For example to have at least some text editing options in the app instead of just being able to create comments. It would be super usefull in my FigJam files. The Microsoft Whiteboard app is a good example, but i’d love to use FigJam on my phone :)

Feature Suggestion:Enable users to select one or multiple text components in Figma and auto-fill them with numbers, words, dates, or randomized placeholders. Users can choose from data types such as sequential or random numbers, lorem ipsum text, predefined word lists, or dynamic values like today’s date. This feature would streamline the process of populating mock designs, forms, or dashboards with realistic placeholder data, saving time, improving consistency, and enhancing prototyping efficiency. I know it could save me a a lot of time!

There are many legacy companies starting to value design a lot more, and they are hiring designers into their ranks to make their software products a lot better. At these places, there may be strict network or security requirements that our critical software must be self-hosted or deployed on-premise. For us designers, we join these companies in hopes of showing that design is about collaboration and working together, not about opaque hand-offs and “design black boxes”. What better tool do we have than Figma, to show the collaborative nature of design? Please please please do allow for on-premise deployments of Figma — and help us all in traditional companies bring change slowly, one tool at a time. 🙏 I understand that this feature request is pretty far-off from Figma’s product philosophy so far, but well… 🤞 (Hey, our companies usually can pay too.)

hi! i would love to be able to save a custom-designed spring animation as a preset so that i don’t have to customize it individually for each prototype link.so when i click Smart Animate and pick a Custom Spring curve, i’d like to be able to save that configuration as a preset.

I have jumped from Xd to Figma 2 years ago and it is so frustrating when you are working with many layers. When you select a frame that is directly on the canvas, why would i need to see all frames on the side panel when I am working on one. I want to see all the layers only when I click tha canvas. I have frames with thousands of layers inside and it gets really messy. And no, do not suggest to add new pages because that is not a solution.

In Figjam it would be nice if Text on creation keeps the previous you selected (just like how the marker keeps the same color you select for each marking you do).Currently, Text color reverts back to the default color every time you add text. So it’s a bit tedious to have to constantly keep changing the color every time I add text especially since I like to take color coded notes. This feature would be nice.

Just wondering if we could get a options under preferences to invert the behavior of right and left click.Where → Left Click dragsAnd →  Right Click selects The ability to customize keyboard shortcuts would be +1 in general.Thank you. 

On many occasions, I need to copy screens as PNGs from the Present mode of my prototype, so that I can put them in my slide decks. Figma does not allow any export functionality in Present mode. My only workaround is to take screenshots, crop them and use in my slides. It would be great if Figma can support this feature.  

I wonder if this is in the roadmap for the variable feature. It would be super useful to have a new variable type that allows us to set a different graphic asset per mode. Some cases here: Company logo on whitelabels. Swapping theme would also swap the logo Platform related assets, like icons for android and iOS Platform related components: for example Android Top Navigation and iOS Top Navigation Does it make sense?

Place guides in exact positions and ability to copy-paste guides from specific positions within a frame and paste them into the same positions in another frame.

as subject. it is very inconvenient.

For the love for all of the Gods, just put some safeguard to this functionality.I’m using it often to generate a versioned links to give a context to a client what was the current stage of the project.Problem:Delete is near the copy link and countless of times, when in the rush, I’ve just clicked Delete instead of the copy. Which is resulting in all links to generated so far are just became invalid…New created version, even with exact same title and description just have a different ID so i need to generate all the links again and it’s just outrageous…Solution:Just put a pop-up to confirm deleting the info and it will be all fine or a possibility to undo the action or an option to restore the deleted one please, anything, please.

It would be helpful if Admins could purchase plugin licenses and assign them to users as needed.WhyAdmin would not have to chase expense reports for every users each month nor have to share credit cards and expend hawk like vigilance on the monthly credit card receipts in case a plugin kept being payed for while nobody used it.Howthe same way you currently allow plugins and we could have a check box to add payment of the plugin to the main Figma billing. The payment API could also have an opt-in to allow creators to give a batch discount on multiple licenses.

I use slots a lot, and I also keep component names short and generic, and rely on section names as unique identifiers. One downside is that sometimes I’m searching for “slot” to replace “slot” and it’s a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice to add “In this section” or something like that. 

I love using Figma for my slide decks but I miss having my notes while in presentation mode. If I could have similar functionality I would adopt Figma as my slide deck tool 100%!

We want to use string variables for translation handoffs. It is common in our projects that we use long text elements, that have mixed styles (adding links, adding bold to key phrases). When we add variables to text, the font style is “flattened” when switching modes. We can create text with HTML tags like “Hello <‘b1’>World<‘/b1’>” (b1=semibold equivalent of the font style used) so our devs know where to style the text, but it makes it difficult for us to evaluate visual aspects of our texts (like “Is the text not too busy? there’s to many bolded words”). It would be great to have a tool that can do both: add font styles to strings, and render them at the same time.

I have a deck slide longer than the slide therefore I want to scroll to see the rest of the slide. I thought I could do this with a prototype as a workaround but you have to click the prototype to view it so therefore it won’t work. Is there any plan to release this feature after beta, as this is a big blocker for me and my team at present when we have longer pages in our slide decks. Thanks guys.

  Why is this dropdown so narrow?? I’m given 10 letters to distinguish my component variant names from each other?? And then it’s truncated? Get it together!  

Do you have a “concept of a plan” how to handle this situation? 😶https://noyb.eu/en/us-cloud-soon-illegal-trump-punches-first-hole-eu-us-data-dealIf not, then unfortunately we will have to look for other solutions. I need a possible solution for the use case “What if...”. Switching completely to Enterprise is not enough as a current solution.
