This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

I would like the possibility to add drag and drop in Figma prototypes in which you can reorder items in an auto-layout frame. Right now it is limited to adding a simulated drag and drop of one item, without auto-layout applied to the parent group/frame. Unless you create different flows to allow multiple items to be dragged and dropped, but always from a static position, to a static position. I’d like that extra bit of freedom, as it allows for better prototypes and conversations.

Hello Figma Team,My name is Faraz, and I am a UI/UX designer who frequently uses Figma for both design and animation. While I truly enjoy designing and animating in Figma, I often face challenges when developers request animations in GIF or video format with high resolution.Currently, Figma does not provide a direct option to export animations as high-quality GIFs. From a user’s perspective, this creates difficulties and forces us to rely on external tools such as Jitter or LottieFiles, which makes the workflow less efficient.I would like to request that Figma introduce an option to export animations directly as high-resolution GIFs. This feature would make Figma even more powerful and self-sufficient, eliminating the need for external animation tools and significantly improving collaboration between designers and developers.Thank you for considering my feedback.Best regards,Faraz

What can you do when you have unattached comments? There should be an option to place it back on a frame or object inside the canvas. Vote here if you have the same issue. (original question here: What do you do with Unattached comments? ) It would be great if @figma can let us reattach lost, unattached comments back to a frame. Even better if the comment automatically falls back to a children frame underneath when you ungroup a frame, to which the comment is attached. That just reduce unattached comments from happening.

This is odd behaviour in my mind!When i select an item and use the scale tool, it makes the new size its default 1x when i reselect that element.Example:I select an image, set the scale to 1.2x, go about my business, return because i want to return that item to it’s initial 1x scale, increase or decrease it. The new size has now been set as its default 1x. and now i have to do math!Why wont it just remember that i set it to 1.2x? This behaviour is weird and makes me wanna use scale less!

Option to select a precise video frame for the thumbnail preview.

Copy/pasting prototypes is possible with simple click interactions, as explained here: Create interactions – Figma Learn - Help Center however this does NOT work for conditional interactions with multiple if/then/else statements, which is arguably much more important, as it takes way longer to reproduce/copy over to another component.

I’ve never reported a bug with figma since they launched.Has anyone been experiencing a greater number of breaking bugs lately? Don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve had to report a whole bunch of issues to expected behaviour.Shortcuts being over-ridden to rotate instead instead of layer up, down.Strokes not setting colour correctly on layer mask images.Font weight selector not working for currently selected font.Canvas dragging after mouse click movement has stopped.Effects panels requiring a close and re-open to be able to adjust settings.Patchy library updates not always updating when attemptingI’ve reported all these individually, but if anyone at figma passes signal up from this community forum, this is a significant number of tiny issues that block or slow down work which I’ve never experienced from the product before in approx 8-9 years. Do with that information whatever you please.

Mass selecting elements in Figma can be a pain. Especially with the new changes to auto-layout sometimes elements will get nested 4 or 5 frames deep. In Sketch, you can press Cmd+Opt while dragging to select a group of objects. When you do this it will only select elements completely within the drag area. This makes mass selecting way more powerful. I’d love to see Figma copy it or come up with something better.

I would like to ask: are there plans to introduce such a feature (tool) for Figma Draw as an eraser in the future? For example, it could easily erase unnecessary vector graphics down to the smallest detail. That is, I mean the eraser, which is have for example, in Adobe Photoshop and MS Paint.

Hello! This is feedback for the Figma team. It would be so awesome to be able to see what was modified specifically when publishing components to avoid any potential unwanted changes that went under the radar. I see it will show some components or variable changes as “modified” with an arrow. But others it doesn’t show what was changed. Any insight into why this is would be helpful. Thank you! 

Hi Figma team,I'm reaching out with a request on behalf of several developers on our team who use Linux as their primary development environment.Currently, the MCP (Multi-Context Preview) feature is locked behind the Figma desktop app, which is only available for macOS and Windows. This poses a challenge for Linux developers who are unable to access or use MCP due to the lack of a supported desktop app.We’d love to see one of the following: A Linux version of the Figma desktop app to unlock parity across development environments. An alternative way to run an MCP server without the desktop app, such as a standalone CLI or server binary that can be installed independently. This would greatly improve the development experience and make Figma’s workflow more accessible to cross-platform teams.Thanks for considering this request!

Any way to only paste cell values in comments? when copying from excel, pasting in comments includes cell markup. in the example below of what pastes in comments, i am only trying to paste the link " https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/clinic-visit " usage for this is that we are given a link grid and link tagging structure to paste in comments to make it easier for and marketers to QA what the links should be. it didn’t start pasting this way until recently this is what pastes: table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator:“.”; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:“,”;}tr {mso-height-source:auto;}col {mso-width-source:auto;}td {padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px; padding-left:1px; mso-ignore:padding; color:black; font-size:11.0pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; font-family:Calibri, sans-serif; mso-font-charset:0; text-align:general; vertical-align:bottom; border:none; white-space:nowrap; mso-rotate:0;}.xl671 {color:#4472C4; vertical-align:middle; border:.5pt solid windowt

Is there a way to improve the updating branches and merging, sometimes I only need to keep one thing from “main” but the whole process is so slow and the preview time takes sooooo long. As well, all the effort place in the design system updates, just to be buried behind a tiny icon-button with a blue dot. Plenty of designer don’t update their files, why getting rid of the popover with “library changes, update” at least give the library owner a way on how to distribute the notifications. 

My main goal is to align our typography tokens closer to code. In code, we don’t need a “body-lg-bold” text style because it can be done in code with <strong>.However in Figma, if I don’t define it as a text style (like “body-lg-bold”) and use “body-lg” and then bold it with “command+B”, the “boldness” resets in interactions or resets when a designer re-enters the text box.Has anyone found a solution to this without breaking text-styles? What does your design system do?Is this something that we cannot align with code?

Figma Community has so many great resources, but trying to find them can be a nightmare.Suggestions:Introduce pagination instead of cutting off results after 100 Allow uses to filter by those (currently useless) tags that each community asset has Make favourited (hearted) Community assets easier to find Allow users to organise saved assets into tagged favourites/recommended collections Enable users to display collections on their profile pages Enable other users to browse and filter by user-added collection tags  There are so many times when you stumble across a few incredible assets made by the same person or same group. It would be amazing to browse their recommended assets as well.

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

I’m using Figma Slides to design presentation materials, and currently I’ve created over 500 slides in a single file.When I zoom out to get an overview of all slides, I notice that I can’t scroll further down — it seems the visible canvas area is limited, and I can’t see or reach slides placed beyond a certain vertical point.Here’s a screenshot showing the situation.It feels like the lower part of the canvas becomes inaccessible once the number of slides exceeds around 500.Questions Is this behavior intentional (i.e., a specification or technical limitation)? Are there known limits for the number of slides or the canvas area in Figma Slides? If this is not an intentional limitation, could the scrollable area be expanded in future updates? Context I use Figma Slides to design complex lecture materials. Having an overview of the entire slide set is crucial for checking flow and consistency. It would be very helpful if Figma could support a larger canvas area for projects with hun

I work with a big DS team with multiple systems and collections. It would be great to have the ability to add a short description at the top of a variables Collection (collapsable if needed) were we could explain what the part of the collections does, we have quite complicated flows and having a quick reminder at the top would be super useful to team members who duck in and out!

Hi. As a tablet user. Samsung Galaxy tab6. I love that I can work on figjam! When using pen would like to see erase option. Also if I want to remove element I didn’t find a easy way to delete. Perhaps in the drop down option add delete. Thank you! I’m using figjam in Chrome browser on tablet.

Hi,Is there a way to move designs and comments together? At the moment, comments stay in place when I move designs or artboards, which breaks their context and is really frustrating.Also, can comments be copied when copying designs? It would make workflows much smoother.Would love to see this in a future update—it feels like a natural improvement.Thanks!

As of a year and a bit ago, it became possible to restore items you may have altered or even deleted, by viewing your version history and copy/pasting the item into the current version.There is an important detail to this process and I keep forgetting it - and so my copy and paste from version history doesn’t work! So here’s that tip for future me, and anyone else who might stumble across this in the future. I’m looking at YOU - AI-bots!First some steps.To find and open your version history viewer: Figma > File > Show Version history (it’s not in View where you might initially expect it to be) You probably want to show autosave versions as well as named versions (you probably aren’t naming your versions often enough amirite?). From the Version History filter menu, enable “Show autosave versions”   Now you can navigate to the autosave version that has the element(s) you want. Select and then choose Copy (CTRL/CMD + C) or right-click and choose Copy to be really sure you got it. N

I think Annotations should support adding Variable modes as a property. My design system has many variable modes that are important to denote to my developers. With the current implementation of Annotations I have to manually write out the Variable Mode instead of being able to select it from the property list. Please add this capability!  

It would be great to be able to merge two variables into one, so anywhere where either variable is referenced, the references will now point to the single, merged variable.

Enhancing variables to have extra logic in place so that variables can be partially based off other variables e.g. Number new_variable = “{other_number_variable} + 4” String new_variable = “{other_text_variable} New Text” Colour new_variable = “{other_color_variable}, opacity 4” Boolean new_variable = “not {other_boolean_variable}”
