The “Tool bar” should be in the upper left of the screen. Personally, I’d expect to find a “Tools” menu near the Min menu, or where I’d see the File/Edit/View/Object… menus. In the bottom center, it overlaps design elements, so designing and walking through designs via screenshare is clunky and awkward. The “floating panel” aspect looks neat, but it’s still a visual obstruction in the center of the workspace. In my opinion, it just renders the bottom 50ish pixels of the workspace useless.Also, Mac users will keep accidentally triggering the bottom drawer.Toolbar 

Hi, I came across a similar idea - Search results are not precise - we get 'similar words' instead of exact match but unfortunately in Figma still missing. I think the exact search by name is a “must have”. Furthermore, it would be very useful if it were possible to find instances of a specific component, according to the specified properties. I think both functions are quite essential for keeping documents in order. Do you plan to add them please?

The New UI changed the keyboard shortcut for creating a link in text. Command+K is the universal keyboard shortcut for adding a link and changing it to shift+command+U severely slows down my workflow. For many designers and copywriters, command+K is muscle memory, and swapping this adds unnecessary confusion. Can you please change the keyboard shortcut back, or allow users to customize their shortcuts? Switching any keyboard shortcuts out is extremely frustrating to designers who rely on using them to save time in their daily workflow.

When reviewing designs with developers I’m often referencing the layout grid I’m using in the designs, but if the developer has ‘view only’ access they are unable to see the layout grid in the inspect tool. We have been trying to limit edit access to only designers as we have many developers (30+) inspecting our files. I’d love it if the layout grid was viewable in ‘View Only’ mode in the inspect tool 🙂 It would help bridge the gap between developers and designers even more 🙂

As a system analyst, I often walk others through design files to confirm specifications or gather feedback—whether it’s with clients, internal teams, or stakeholders. In Axure, I’m used to having a fixed notes panel on the side—so I can present the screens on the right while referring to key talking points or structured notes on the left (Axure screenshot attached).This setup has been incredibly helpful during presentations or walkthroughs. It keeps the discussion organized and lets me stay on track without jumping back and forth or losing context.But in Figma, I constantly find myself dragging the screen around just to switch between designs and notes. Not only does it interrupt my own focus, but it also makes it harder for others to follow along, especially when the screen keeps shifting back and forth. It can be visually tiring and distracting for everyone involved, making the whole session feel less smooth and less clear. I truly believe a fixed or detachable notes panel would be a

Our design system has many components that can’t be edited beyond what is available in the props list. In the past, we generally enabled the “simplify all instances” option for these types of components (things like icons, checkboxes, switches, etc.). With the latest UI, “simplify all instances” hides the alignment features within the Position section of the design panel by default, which means any designer wanting to align one of these components within their design must first un-hide additional properties. It seems to me that a component’s alignment to other components shouldn’t be an “additional property” — positioning components within a layout is the first thing we do, and doesn’t involve editing the component itself. As a result, we’ve had to disable the “simplify” option across the board to make things easier for designers. This means displaying extra layers unnecessarily.

Multiple tools focusing on retrospective meetings allows to control visibility of text written on stickies, see example from metroretro.io, each user is able to control visibility of their own stickies. It’s extremely practical functionality which seems to be missing in FigJam (i wasn’t able to find any plugin/widget addressing this functionality) are you planning to implement something covering this need? Example

Feature Name: PagesDescription: Introduce a "Pages" feature within Figma Buzz files, allowing users to create and navigate between multiple distinct pages within a single document. Each page would function as a separate canvas for content, behaving similarly to pages in Figma Design files or FigJam files.Core Functionality: Add/Delete Pages: A simple interface to add new blank pages and delete existing ones. Page Navigation: A clear sidebar or dropdown menu to easily switch between pages. Page Naming/Renaming: Ability to name and rename pages for better organization. Content Isolation: Content on one page should not interfere with or be directly visible on other pages, maintaining distinct, independent workspaces. Benefits:Adding "Pages" to Figma Buzz would significantly enhance organization, collaboration, and content planning capabilities, offering several key benefits: Improved Performance on Low-Hardware Devices: By segmenting content across multiple pages, Figma Buzz would o

We propose a powerful new set of AI-driven features for FigJam, extending beyond the mind map functionality to enhance all collaborative workflows, including chart creation and more.Key Features: Contextual AI Prompts (as shown in image): Integrate AI directly into text elements across FigJam, similar to the "Any question or topic" prompt in mind maps, offering intelligent suggestions and expansions like "An idea" or "A thought." This should be available for all features (e.g., sticky notes, shapes, and text within charts). AI Model Selection Support: Allow users to choose specific AI models for processing within FigJam, providing flexibility and control over the AI's output. Content Control for AI Processing: Implement granular control over what content the AI processes. This includes: Process Selection: The ability to select specific elements or areas for AI processing. Skip Page/Section: Options to exclude certain pages or sections from AI analysis. Benefits:With these

To the Figma Team and Community,I'm writing today with an urgent and heartfelt request: please make the Dev Mode focus view available on the Professional plan. Gating this feature away from Professional users feels like a profound misunderstanding of how your community works and builds in 2025.The landscape of product development is changing rapidly. We're in an era of "vibe coding," where small, agile teams and even single-person companies empowered by AI are creating products with massive impact. Many of us on the Professional plan are exactly these people – the freelancers, the indie hackers, the startup founders who wear multiple hats. We don't just design; we code. We build.Why are you creating such a painful partiality between design and code for your Professional users? To give us a powerful design tool but then restrict a feature that streamlines the most critical handoff – from design to code – feels incredibly counterintuitive. It penalizes the very users who are pushing the

 I’ve been exploring Figma Buzz and noticed an issue affecting our workflow. We already have asset libraries (icons, illustrations, images), and while creating a Buzz template, you can define instance swaps (for example, for icons). However, swapping these instances only works in design mode, not in Buzz mode.While the "Swap content" feature is available, it only works if assets are components within the same variant set. Converting our 400 icons into variants, or even more illustrations - isn’t practical.This limitation is a major blocker to us adopting Figma Buzz, as it prevents collaborators from easily swapping assets within Buzz mode. Related topic:  

Figma has removed the ability to switch frame between Portrait and Landscape mode (without adding rotation to nested elements). Now the only option is to “rotate” the canvas and it adds -90degress to everything that is designed within. Which also flips W and H. And if a component is designed in portrait and then added to landscape (rotated artboard) and you want to “fill” autolayout and contraint proportions totally mess up.I could make my own frame and use that instead, but I cannot save it as a template within Frame templates, super annoying.Bring this back please: https://www.delasign.com/blog/figma-frame-landscape-portrait/ 

I've been using figma for more than 3 years now and it has been extremely helpful to me. And It’d be really helpful to have an scroll up / scroll down commands because the absence of this feature is holding back my ideas and its easy to explain how the website will actually work when built. i know you can do this with drag option but it feels unnatural and cant go back to the previous frame and feels unnatural.thank you.

Scenario: Large design file with 15+ pages#Designers per team: multipleContext: We have multiple feature based design files and each file is 10+ pages with multiple designers in one team working in the same file.Problem: Branching creates multiple huge files with all pages. With multiple designers working together and making updates every week if not everyday, its very hard to merge these huge files after reviewing multiple updates every time a change is made.Idea: There seems to be a need for selective branching and merging. The user can select what pages they want branched and merge them once the feature is updated. This would not overload the files or system and would reduce redundancy.

It is possible to lock frames, only to have everything in it locked… Any way to lock just the frame in place but not the content? So I can interact with the content without having to worry about constantly selecting the frame, moving it around etc…?

I want make some element in frame just creating it in place where i want to see it, and during work i also use AL, and i always have to make element somewhere, because of AL and than add it to place where it have to be, and after it compare sizing and other visiuals elements Let me make element that already have absolute position by some shortcut, to quick add layer to layout without problems with override AL settings

Properties propagation is necessary to build and maintain a flexible, modular, and dynamic design systems.For example, I’m building a TableCell component in my design system, which should support inline editing. I’d like to crate a Value property on the TableCell master component, so both states (View | Edit) retain this value when switched. I’ll use different components to render out the cell value:View mode - Typography (text) component Edit mode - TextField (input) componentI can’t implement this, unfortunately, due to the limitation described in this thread, so I have a few options:Use nested instances and lose the ability to propagate the master component (TableCell) Value property to the child instances (Typography, TextField), so once the state is changed, overrides (Value) are lost, and should be re-entered (manually) for each of the component states.   Don’t use nested instances and instead put detached versions of them. In that case, I’ll need to re-implement a lot of additio

Unsure if any additional context is needed but would be a lovely feature 

Example:My color picker component is created from an instance of my input component.I would like to block certain properties of the instance for its use in the color picker."

I don’t know where Figma’s server is but def. not in my country. So it is slow sometimes and can’t even open a file sometimes. So why not add a proxy setting so that we can speed things up if we need?

I would like to be able to have two actions happen on hover. E.g. a button component with a hover state, accompanied by a tooltip - also on hoverstate. On click a third action happens.

I'm currently working on a multi-brand product (EHR dashboard) using Figma Pro. I maintain a shared design system for efficiency and consistency, and I use this design system across multiple design files within a project.For each brand, I need to: Create a new project Duplicate both the design system file and the product design file Customize the design system with unique logos, colors, and typography per brand The problem is:When I duplicate the files for Brand 2 and move them to the new project, the duplicated design file still links back to Brand 1's design system instead of the duplicated one. Even if I duplicate the design system file separately, the link doesn’t reset — which means changes made to the design system (like updating Brand 2’s colors) affect Brand 1 as well.Currently, Figma doesn’t support project-level duplication, which could have helped preserve the file links and created isolated instances for each brand.My question:Is there a way to duplicate a design file a

I often use Miro to gather design inspiration. I take screenshots of stuff that I like and paste it in. And now I want to use FigJam for that, but the quality of the pasted images are too low. The pasted image is too pixelated (in Miro the image is super crisp).

Hi,As a half a decade long user of Figma, I always struggle to back track my design decisions during working on multiple projects or even during development hand-offs or knowledge transfers to other design peers. It’s crucial for designers because there could be multiple reasons that could have influenced why we chose a particular design/element/component in our designs. I tend to write text notes below my figma screens which is sometimes lost when moving things around and also the developers / PMs don’t tend to notice the message below the screen during implementation.I wish there was an easier way to add a note to each design element or a group of elements together and tag it as Dev note, PM note, etc so that my respective stakeholders can see those notes in the screen while reviewing (not like a comment but something that’s more intentional and doesn’t get lost/unseen). It would also help me to remember to write notes / questions while designing to clarify or ask during my reviews.

I often create small graphics in Figma for my company’s communications and website. We use a lot of custom drop shadows and glows and it would be much more efficient if I was able to just copy and paste the settings of the drop shadow on one element to another. Or at least the ability to save a custom drop shadow in your library similar to how you can with gradients. This would be a huge timesaver, thanks!
