Slides doesn’t have Auto-Layout which is one of the major reasons to use Figma for Presentation. Please make it available!

I like the new figma update in the slide show where they added object animation but i got a request that would be really helpfuland it’s to add “After Delay” in the timing section because it really helps with the animation

Hi, I’m looking for a way to see what has changed, in the versioning, when viewing Figma files sent to me. As far as I can tell you can only view old versions and not see what changed between an old version and a current one. It’s particularly difficult to detect changes on files with many pages/boards/wireframes. It would be great if you could click a version and compare it to the current version with a highlight and greyscale/colour content to easily see what’s new/what’s not. Thanks

Currently, when using Figma’s color contrast checker, the modal closes automatically after inspecting the contrast of a single element. This behavior disrupts the workflow when checking multiple elements (like buttons with different text colors) in quick succession. To enhance productivity and streamline accessibility checks, it would be incredibly useful if the contrast checker modal could be ‘locked’ or set to stay open while navigating between design components. Why This Matters:1. Efficiency: Reduces the repetitive task of re-opening the contrast checker, saving valuable time during design reviews.2. Improved User Experience: Supports a more fluid and uninterrupted design process, especially when auditing UI elements for accessibility compliance.3. Consistency: Allows designers to maintain focus when assessing multiple elements without needing to re-access the tool

Minor change—thoughtful impact to UXWhen stopping the music during sessions, maybe to address something, the music starts over. I feel the STOP button (and record needle control easter egg) should function as a pause and resume. 

Awful thing. I mean Position Panel  is placed beneeth the Components one. In complex projects components have many nested components with properties. Thus, this panel becomes very large. But this is not what is scary. The shit is the Position panel jumps up and down each time you select different items having component properies or withoiut them. It freaks me out every time I'm trying to find Postions. For one item it's higher, for other is lower. Sometimes I even have to scroll! X and Y, rotate, adjustment  are the base things it must be nailed.Let user set their own order panels.  RIght now it seems like the Adobe's worst nightmare.

There should be a function to number the slides. Also would help if creating a TOC for longer presentations.

I recently found out that when you have no boolean variables created, right clicking the ‘eye’ icon on the layer panel won’t show anything. The only way the right click works on this is if you already had any boolean variables created in the ‘local variables’ section. Only then, you see the option to create a new variable directly from here. This behavior was pretty confusing to me, and I thought something was broken.

I have a master page with assets and components, then pages with instances and customizations to the instances, let’s say each page has versions of some of the components. I want to export certain objects of each page simultaneously, without having to go back and forth between pages and hit Export again. If nothing is selected, the behaviour I expect is that Ctrl+Shift+E would export all items in the entire document that have export settings, not just the page that is currently open.

This is great! Thank you very much!Also measurment  

Would like to see a fifth option here, that just says “Thumbnail with link to file”. So it just like a card for a link in FigJam, but it saved to the FigJam file instead of being somewhere out there on the internet.

In the new UI, the Figma tabs aren’t readable on the lighter ver.Could you please add the option for a darker tabs line like in the old UI?See example below.  

IssueWe want to implement Figma prototypes in a multi-layer application, which can contain all sorts of other files, like Unity, Unreal, Protopie and they can communicate with each other.The Figma prototype would run in an iframe and we need a way to listen to events from the Figma prototype, in order to create interactions between the Figma prototype and other applications. It seems there is currently no way to make Figma work in such an environment.  Feature RequestI imagine there could be an additional option in the interaction window, so that I could add an event to be triggered when a button is clicked. And the iframe which contains the Figma prototype should dispatch this event to out custom JavaScript.

Annotations text spell check

Hi Figma team,I often organize my pages using symbols (like ↳) and emojis (✅, 📝) to simulate hierarchy and visually label sections (screenshot attached). While this workaround works, it’s too manual and inconsistent—especially for large files with multiple collaborators. Two things that would help:1. Page Indentation / Nesting – Native indentation or grouping would make structuring pages much easier and cleaner.2. Default Icon Slot – Instead of using emojis in titles, having a dedicated icon or label slot for pages would keep things tidy and readable. The ability to collapse page groups would save a lot of scrolling back and forth.3. Headline Layer – It would be great to have a non-clickable “headline” or section divider in

It would be great to track how much time we spent on each file, it would remove so much manual work to track any freelance project timeThis way we will have the time we spent on designing aside from research and other stuff

💬 4 years ago ​@Wolfgang_H proposed being able to manipulate a locked layer while pressing a hotkey and relock it immediately after release: https://forum.figma.com/topic/show?tid=29231&fid=21I find that idea still pertinent today, as I was working with multiple objects on top of a background. I accidentally select the background too many times, so I had to lock it. But then I want to resize/change the background, so I had to unlock it. Going back and forth with 🔒/🔓 introduces quite a bit of friction.🤔 I do understand though that having too many shortcuts/hotkeys can be annoying as people make mistakes and they can hit the wrong key accidentally. However, I would love to have this feature in the little big updates as I deem it necessary enough. Thank you all for reading!

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The recent change that places component variables above X/Y and H/W settings, though well-intentioned, creates friction for users dealing with complex components and multiple variants. This shift results in vital inputs being moved around, and their location becomes inconsistent based on the number of variants. As someone who frequently optimizes design systems, I often

Hey guys, Let’s be real. The main spectrum of work with UI, whether it’s an app, or a website, is displaying data or content (such as feed, lists, posts, comments, etc). We can do a component of a post card, for example. Then duplicate instances, and wrap that in an auto layout. It would be cool to have a repeater that shows right up after you’ve activated the auto-layout, where you can specify how many times to repeat the instance (component) and bind data to it.

I would like to learn about User interview questions how to prepare, can some one help me with the suggestions to create the launguage learning app ??

This new pricing model for Dev Mode $35/seat/month just to inspect already finished designs is so out of touch with reality, I have no words. We have an enterprise Figma license and we capped Editor seats to a minimum because it’s hard to sell to C-level. This limits UX maturity and spread of Figma usage in product development across the whole org. We have about 4x as much full-stack developers as we have designers, who OCCASIONALLY need to inspect designs. How the bleep are we supposed to sell those seats to C-level executives? This is completely unrealistic and limits not only spread of Figma usage, but design-led product development in our org even more. If we are to keep Figma, all of our designers are left with one option, to extensively micro-document each design for devs to read as a book. Losing huge chunk of our UX time. What a self-destructing pricing strategy from Figma. What do we do now?

A tiny tiny detail that would make life a lot easier would be auto-tabbing the cursor’s focus to the search bar when I switch from “Custom” to “Libraries”. 99% of the time when working in a large design system I need to search for the colour/variable I want, there’s too many to scroll through. But I always have to make that extra click into the search bar and I often naturally start typing only to realise it isn’t tabbed (accidentally pressing shortcut/hotkeys along the way).Whereas you compare to the File/Asset content switcher it DOES auto-tab once you switch into Assets so its not consistent.Small interaction would save a lot of time! 🙏

We used to have annual seats for our own staff, and use monthly seats for adhoc collaborators - but with the new billing system Figma has changed everything to annual seats, making our total expense explode! It seems there is no way to degrade an annual plan. Only a way to grow, and feed Figma’s greedy pocket!

The new UI3 preview introduced a new title at the top of the sidebar. I’d like an option to collapse or hide that title, as it uses too much screen real estate.

The cursor is entirely too small now and feels extremely latent at the new angle. Please, Figma, don’t fix something that’s not broken! The cursor is a tool, not a pointer.Also the addition of light fields on a dark background is fairly disorienting and clutters the surroundings of all info inside the fields. Slows down workflow and makes info less “glance-able”.
