Teams would like the ability to archive branches that have been merged in their own time instead of them automatically being archived and having to view them in the history tab. They’d like the designers to choose when to archive those branches. Teams want to be able to see a history of merged branches and actually see them, but not necessarily restore to that branch.  We’d like this to be an option to turn on per project or in admin settings.  Thanks! 

Is there a way to export the .csv from Figma Sites as a .csv or any other file? I created my CMS inside of Figma Sites and would like to continue editing in external app like excel because it’s such a pain to edit fields inside of the CMS editor. Thank you.

Having a “reset scroll position” like what Figma Design has is a must. Currently, when I scroll a frame inside a slide and then I proceed to the next slide in my deck, the scroll location is maintained, and as a result my next slide is already scrolled to a position I did not need it to be.

Is there any possible reason for this other than value extraction? 5 Templates, or pay more than 2x more than you are now.   

Ctrl + tab should switch between most recent tabs rather than switching between tabs sequentially.

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

For the LOVE OF GOD. STOP UPDATING THE FIGMA UI. I'm trying to finish my work, NOT waste time understanding what each update has done to my tools and HOW TO USE THEM FROM NOW ON. Jesus Christ. Stop forcing us to update to a shittier version each time. Can you just let us have what we already figured out? LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. 

These are new and improved color formats that replace hex and rgb. They will soon become the standard in web browsers. They open up more colors than are currently possible. The Expanding Gamut of Color on the Web | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks

I know If I use the option key and hover, I get the distance between objects but I would like a feature that shows the distance exactly the way the option key does but without start making a copy of the element. If I start moving it I just want to see the distance to the element above for example. If I do this now it’s going to get to a point where it starts measuring from the copy I’m holding.

It seems really odd to make that the collection name for variable is not include when looking for variables: The reason that vertical-padding shows up is because in the description of the variable, I added button. This is at least a workaround to this issue but having to do that for each variable is annoying and easily forgettable

I imagine this limitation exists to prevent infinitely nested instances, but there are definitely use cases for instances nested within itself. I run into this problem with my UI “section” component which is basically a container with a title and some content. I need to be able to replace the content with some other content that also contains sections (e.g. to build a nested UI tree).

why can’t figma make make components that we can import back into figma. It would be useful to us make to generate a design system, using prompting and be able to import thes eback into figma as components.

When marking a comment as resolved, we are now automatically moved to the next one. I’m wondering if or how we can disable this behaviour?My work flow being to go from screen to screen of user flows, and not comments to comments, this is very disrupting as it can bring me anywhere in the file, and I need to find and navigate back to where I was. I understand this might be useful for reviewers that only goes through questions left by other people, but this probably not most users, so it would be useful to have the ability to disable this feature.

The most recent update moved the library button and layers panel to different tabs, and it is SO ANNOYING. Now when im updating things in different libraries and constantly going back and forth between files theres a whole extra step of having to switch tabs. AND you can’t see if theres pending updates to the files unless you go looking for it now. This hinders my workflow allllll day.

Allowing for styles to encompass all of the data in any given section of the properties panel and be able to combine them into a meta-style or object style.Another way to think of it, if you want to save a stroke style you could save all of the information in the stroke section of the properties panel and the stroke settings within that style. Weight, color, style (dotted vs solid), sides of object (if applicable), etc.Expanding on that, being able to save the style from each section of the panel to a meta-style or object style (akin to adobe illustrator or indesign) so we can use all of the same styles on a new, unique object without using components. Sometimes two objects need to be styled the same way without them all being tied to the structure/content of a main component. It would speed up the use of components and variants a lot as well.A good example is making a different meta-style for each of the states of a button. You set the fill color, stroke color,

Hello, I just discovered Figma Sites and wanted to create a Portfolio, however I cannot find the option to publish it and connect it to my custom domain. On the website and on youtube, everyone seems to have an option to add connected domain in the Site Settings under the Domain menu, however the menu for me consists of just Base Domain menu. (See screenshot)I would love to resolve this issue and connect to my custom domain. I am using education plan and as stated on Figma Website I should be able to host one website. Does anyone else have the same issue?  

This is a feature that would be amazing for a web image optimization processRight now there’s a lot of manual effort between Figma and Photoshop to resize images, then get them all exported as 80% jpgs or webp files

Another nice addition would be to connect your FigJam files with related Figma files. So as not to rely on file naming. Creating links between the two would allow for easier navigation and discovery from others in the team.

Every time I open a file, comments are visible and I have to hide them manually with Shift+C. There's no way to set this once and forget it. A simple toggle in account preferences — just like the light/dark theme switch — would be perfect. Set it once, and comments stay hidden by default across all files.Also, visible comments noticeably slow things down, especially on older machines. Hiding them by default would make Figma feel much snappier day-to-day.

Hi When will sorting and advanced search for CMS elements be available?Is there any approximate date?Thanks!

I created a component, with some variant and properties.This component is then used in a Buzz template. This is then used to create social media assets.  When I first copy-past the component into the Buzz template file, the properties are here (all of them), and as soon as I publish the templates, they di (see attached screenshots).Also, the nested properties work perfectly.This is weird, is there anything I’m doing wrong, I don’t get it.And I also noticed, that basically I cannot add Variant properties in a Buzz file, it just doesn’t work. Maybe there is a bug on and that is why it removes my orignal properties ?  

I have been doing more logos in Figma, but usually have to also provide an .eps file. The issue with exporting as an SVG and importing into Adobe Illustrator is that the font gets converted to Outlines. Then I have to re-create the font in Illustrator

In addition to having AI design the entire wireframe (which results in a lot of output that isn’t really relevant or useful to the user’s specific needs), Figma should implement a version of its AI tool that improves/beautifies user-created basic wireframes (eg. takes the text/button names/general layout that someone has already created and adds colors, changes typography, moves things around so they’re visually more pleasing, etc). This would allow users who have a general vision of what they want their product to look like to save time creating more detailed wireframes so they can more easily transition to the prototyping phase. 

Hi Celine- Are there any plans to remove this constraint? We have container frames with a handful of separate screen specs in them and would like to designate certain screens as ready, but not the entire set. It’d be great to not have to have the frame or instance top-level, but allow nesting and still mark contained elements ‘ready for dev’. Thanks!
