Say I’m doing a brainstorming session at work and people wrote a bunch of notes on stickies. Is there a feature to one-click cluster and organize them based on ideas? Currently we have to do this manually and it’s no scalable. 

Both flat- and pointy-top hexagons are missing from figjam's standard shapes.

So I’m in the trial for UI3. So far it is going well. I am able to find everything that I need to do my work and I have been both designing and maintaining the design system for two weeks. I like that the main CTA have moved to the bottom of the screen from the top left. One thing that is bothering me is I can no longer use my shortcuts to quickly create a link. On a mac CMD+ K opens the link box then CMD+ V pastes in the link I copied from elsewhere. (On Windows this would be CTRL+ K then CTRL + V) I use this functionality ALOT in handoffs. Maybe others do too? Also these shortcuts are used across many many applications such as Office 365, Google docs, sheets etc and even here in this text editor. Now CMD + K opens a component search window: I was instructed that a NEW shortcut SHIFT+CMD+U. now opens the link box. Unfortunately CMD K is used across all applications I have come across such as Notion, Google everything, MS 365 everything, slack, teams, etc and so on. So from a user ex

Hi there, I’d like Figma to detect when variables in a given Frame share the same modes, and only offer one dropdown to switch (or auto switch from the parent). Let me explain: Today, if you create a file (or Collection) A, with a variable color that has two modes, for instance color{light, dark}, and another file, or collection B, with another color-2{light, dark} Figma will not detect that they have a similar mode and will present two mode switchers, one for each color (see below) I’d like Figma to detect that those Collections share the same mode structure and group them in a single mode switch. It would be particularly useful for cases where you have items from several different brands in a single Frame but want to switch it easily to light or dark mode (a notion that all brand share). Hope that’s clear! (and it might all be made irrelevent by Extended collections…)

We have a video in our slide, but while presenting, there didn’t seem to be a way to restart the video (or pause it for that matter) - while running through the presentation to practice, we discovered that there were a few times when we’d get to that slide and the video would be halfway through already. Also, why is the Presenter Notes a thin grey bar at the bottom? That took us forever to find. 😦. Maybe add “Show Presenter Notes” to the Figma > View menu?

When I undo, I want undo only changes that I’ve made to a document, not what I’ve selected. I find the existing behavior to be unintuitive and counter to basically all other applications. However, I realize some people like it the way it is, so we can we get a user option to only include document changes in Undo?

Currently, the "Alt + WASD" shortcut for moving elements is designed for QWERTY layouts.  On French AZERTY keyboards, this becomes very awkward, since the natural movement keys are ZQSD instead of WASD.  Even when setting the keyboard layout to "French AZERTY" in Figma, the shortcuts remain QWERTY-based. This creates a big usability issue for AZERTY users, as one of the most practical shortcuts feels broken.  This would greatly improve the experience for all non-QWERTY users.   

So I am using view mode (on web browser) to see a figma file created by other designer. And it has a text which contains a link.  I can click that link to go to the destination, but I don’t want to do that. I want to copy the url of that link text. If I right click, it will only let me copy link of selection of the parent frame.Please, you should let viewer to copy the url embeded in a text. It’s crucial and very basic! Thanks.

Just a small inconvenience, and I know Figma auto-saves, but would be nice if you could ask “are you sure you want to quit” etc. if you accidentally use the keyboard shortcut to quit the desktop app.

Proposal:Enable users to save specific canvas views or areas as named "bookmarks" or presets. This would let designers jump to those areas instantly—without manual zooming or panning each time.Use Case:You're working within a large board or file and need to switch frequently between, say, “User Journey Flow,” “Header Components,” and “Footer Styles.” Instead of zooming and navigating manually, you could click on a saved view and be taken there immediately. Why it matters: Speeds up workflows, especially in complex or sprawling files. Improves navigation, reducing annoyance around repeated zooming and dragging. Supports presentation use cases, where you may need to jump to specific sections in front of stakeholders. Current workarounds: Plugins like Minimap or Saved Selections can simulate this behavior. Using dedicated frames or pages as manual navigation anchors. But no built-in native way to quickly switch between saved views exists at the moment Shoutout to chatGPT for rephr

Your software is a masterclass in how not to design an interface.I click one element, perform an action, then click another element to do the exact same thing, and the entire layout collapses.There is no way to diagnose what happened because your options auto-hide. There is no feedback, or clarity. Nothing but broken workflows.Stop trying to be clever. Stop chasing some illusion of minimalism that serves literally ZERO purpose.Hire developers who understand what predictable, reliable interfaces look like. For three decades, core UX standards have guided every serious design tool on the market. Your team ignored all of it and delivered a product that feels like fighting a shopping cart with a broken front wheel.You bury essential tools under layers of useless clicks while plastering non-critical stuff front and center. It is mind boggling.And your documentation is as useless as your interface. Answers are vague or incomplete. There’s no explanation as to WHY something does what it does

Hi team,Variable modes are incredibly helpful for testing layout behaviors in the Editor. Typically, we duplicate frames and assign modes like Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile. While this works, it doesn’t extend well into Presentation mode.Currently: Presentation → Responsive works nicely with Auto Layout + min/max constraints. However, variable modes remain static—locked to whatever mode was manually applied to a frame. The existing “Auto” mode is limited to inheritance (children follow parent), but the parent itself still requires a manual mode switch. Feature Request:Introduce a real “Responsive Auto Mode” that automatically applies the correct variable mode based on the element’s width.  I know this might not be a fully realistic approach, since Figma can’t always know which numeric variable should be responsible for triggering a breakpoint.An alternative would be to add a “Responsive” toggle in the Variables panel, where the designer explicitly marks which variable (e.g. width, bre

I think that figma is being a complete all rounder tool as the days are going. As a UI designer I'd love to see some more changes in figma if it's possible.1. I know there's already a brush tool system. But i think that it'd be nice if we can see a complete brush tool with all the elements like masking and other stuff. using brush tool to create cool effects.2. More text styling options like illustrator. UI design nowadays knows no boundaries. to achieve that we need to do different types of styling of texts. there's a lot but there is some options missing, If those were in figma, it would have been cool.4. I know everything should not be free. But I think we should have a test of figma sites as starter plan user. If it's possible then consider it kindly.3. Lastly, I'd love to see a figma softwares AI image tracer which will trace images with all the color. trust me it is both helpful for graphics designers and UI designers.Thanks Figma team for the amazing surprises you bring up on ev

This is similar/related to an old post from 4 years ago:  I still am not seeing Descriptions shown in Dev Mode. I would expect to see it as a comment at least, or in the Properties view somewhere. This is so that a specific meaning/purpose we provide is visible for the engineers as well.Editing style: Dev Mode panel ☹️: 

Need recommendations for a reliable PET CT scan in Delhi. I’ve heard PET-CT combines two imaging techniques for more accurate results. Molecular Imaging & Therapy looks promising but I’d like to hear from someone who has actually been there. Info here: https://www.molecularit.com/services/PET_CT

It would be helpful if Figma notification previews in Slack showed the Figma page name in addition to the Figma file name. We often have multiple conversations happening across different pages within files, so knowing the specific page would provide better context. Just a thought for future updates!

Currently, when I share a link to a particular frame in Slack, the preview shows the whole canvas with many frames. I would prefer to see the shared frame in the preview instead.

When creating a new file in Figma, it would be helpful to display a “Write File Name” modal. This modal could include: A file name input field An option to move the file to a specific project/folder A “Skip for now” option This feature would streamline file organization, reduce clutter, and be especially helpful for beginners who might forget to name or organize their files right away.

I’d like to request a feature that would help for many workflows: export comments from a FigJam board.For retros, audits, or sharing outside of FigJam, it would save a lot of time if we could export comments as a CSV, JSON, or even a simple text list.Features: Export comments (with timestamps, author, and thread structure) to CSV or JSON. Filter by time range or by author before export. Include reference to the canvas location (e.g., coordinates or object ID) for each comment. Thanks 🤘

Figma Make is great for creating animations and interactions, but it’s pretty annoying that it ‘improves’ the content all the time. I work with real content that is complex. That complexity is part of the problem I’m trying to solve, so it doesn’t work that Figma deletes it and proudly proclaimes that this is better for the user.In my second attempt I created the animations and interactions first. Then I tried to insert the real content piece by piece (‘replace this paragraph for this paragraph’). That also did not work; Figma Make still changes the structure and rewrites the content. (And not only the content I’m working on but in the whole page..)So.. is there a way to prevent this?

Please add the Figma own Feature of Speech to Text

Why is Component Configuration hidden in the toolbar now?It used to be directly visible in the toolbar, but now it’s tucked away behind the “More options” menu. Our team works heavily with metadata in our asset libraries, and having to click the extra menu every single time gets really frustrating.Was there a specific reason for moving it?

Hello Figma Team,I am currently creating tables using a table plugin in Figma.Inside a frame component, I place text components and adjust their size to fill the cells. However, whenever I tab into the cell, the text component gets deleted automatically.Even if I intentionally type and then delete characters, leaving the text field empty, the text component is automatically removed. Because of this behavior, I cannot build a proper table template.At the moment, my only workaround is to insert a space character to prevent deletion, but this causes frequent mistakes such as accidentally starting text with an extra space. This is not an ideal solution.It seems this is not a plugin issue but rather Figma’s default behavior of auto-deleting empty text components.Suggestion:If a text component is placed inside a frame (e.g., a table cell), it should not be automatically deleted when empty. This would allow users to create table templates more effectively without resorting to hacks like invis
