I’ve got our company’s internal design system packages published into our private NPM registry. But in doing so, I found (after I published) I needed to modify the packages for consumption by figma make. Figma’s NPM private registry would not allow me to unpublish or overwrite the package versions once I published them.This is causing a problem in Figma Make because users are able to select old, incorrect versions of the packages when installing. I want to prevent this by being able to unpublish or delete packages from the registry, but I’m unable to do it.We are experimenting with the best way to handle this for figma make that is easiest for our figma users--and would like to be able to hit a hard reset at some point as we may completely change strategies. Right now, we have 50 or so unbundled packages in figma make. In the future, we may want to bundle those into a single versioned package for easier consumption.To summarize, here is a list of figma make NPM

HiI’m looking for a way to simply be able to highlight and make bold  at the same time if possible.It can also be just changing text color, again preferably with the option to add bold effect.I would like to then be able to customize shortcuts for this..Example:Blue highlight / Command - Shift - 1Yellow / Command - Shift - 2etc.I really can't believe that this is not an easily available option in Figma, seeing as highlight pens are very very popular for anyone studying anything, and categorizing things through color can be very helpful for those working with large amounts of text. So I hope anyone can let me know if there’s a way to do this, or that this me

Simplify “Assets” to only show all components of the local file instead of which page they are on. Too many clicks to navigate to find the component, and there isn’t a search function.

In the new UI there is no option to view all Assets of a library at once. You always have to click through the groups which is super annoying. There should be an option to have everything visible and not in a folder view!

When publishing a library, I would like an option to shows all nested elements at the top level. OR even better, when in a Figma file when working in the ‘Assets’ tab, I’d like an option in the grid view (in addition to the grid / list) which allows all elements to be displayed on the top level and not display them as nested items.I realize when publishing I can put all elements on the same page in a file and then I will have no nested items for the users in authoring when trying to pull in components. However, this makes the page too massive to work with. I have to break up the pages but when published, this make nested items which I don’t want. I want everything displayed on the top level as its SO MUCH faster for designers to easily pull in components/elements when they don’t constantly have to go back and forth between levels to find the components they need.

It’s 2026, why are links (especially figma file links) being pasted as plain text? Notion and tools similar to it show a stylized container/preview by default when a link is pasted, with the option of a hyperlink or plain text link. Not having it in Figma Design is one thing, but not having it in Figjam feels especially lacking.

Figma supports enabling/disabling some OpenType features from the UI.https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/4913951097367-Use-OpenType-features From the plugin API I can see which features are being enabled withhttps://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/TextNode-opentypefeatures/but the property is read-only. How can I programmatically enable/disable some OpenType features?Also, is there a reason why it’s accessible on UI but not Plugin API?

EDIT: i can already do this by using the Gap function.It’s still almost impossible to design for fluid widths in FigmaBut with the new Grid Beta, it is now possible to set up for example a 12 col grid system , see my screenshot:https://prnt.sc/fetKFckcQpT4 Basically I set the colums to 1fr, and i set the gutter to my design in pixels. This is how most grids work on a webpage. Now if i rescale horizontally, it keeps the gutter, and scales the grid like in real-life.But on smaller screens the gutter usually need to be smaller, and it would be extremely tedious to manually replace 12 gutters for EACH and every frame i use this on a webpage (potentially hundreds)So if we could use variables to the colums in Grid Beta, that would be just one click solution and we almost got a working fluid system in Figma.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I would like to understand why Figma is using such a sophisticated, misleading, simply a sharp practice of billing their services? I am a freelance start-up that has been charged for 8 other people accessing the file I have created. I have allowed access only for two of them and they shared further (probably) and I have been charged an additional $120 for their access. I was never alerted to the fact that apart from the monthly subscription, there will be additional charges. I don’t want to be a part of a service that is so wishy-washy in their billing offer. It is a disgusting practice. Probably I will look for alternatives to this service.

Please implement AI into the variable editor. It would make re-factoring a design system infinitely easier if we had an AI that could go through and change everything to the way we need it. For example, we’ve decided we want to ‘master’ up the stroke width for field components, but now have to go through 50+ component variants telling them to alias the new master value

When assigning a variable to a component property, the search box displays both the variable name and its value, making it easy to know what you’re selecting: However, when you’re aliasing a variable from within the Variables page, the search popup does not show the target variable’s value, making it harder to confirm the correct selection: 

I’m not sure why this product is so disjointed.  integration is flimsy at best.

Hi, I absolutely love Figma Slides, but there are still some caveats (like the usage of variables that is missing). So here's the next one; editing and presenting from a mobile device using the Figma app. Whether it will be a standalone app or a feature in the current one, I want it, I need it, actually.Especially the editing part, I would like to be able to do that on tablet (it's 2025 guys, even keynote and powerpoint have it). Thanks :)

Hi! First of all-- congratulations on the release of CMS! I’m already super excited to create stuff with it and I’ve been playing around with it this morning. Hereby my humble feature requests for the future of CMS!Categories and tags with separate pages for their content. Search and date picker (for events) functionality. I would love to see component swapping supported inside CMS, so that I can pick a different component per CMS article if I want to highlight it on my list with a special component for example. (A feature like this would be ~ incredibly ~ powerful.) Or/and, the ability to change page variables in a CMS item, so you can for example change the colors of the page based on the variables set in the item. The ability to connect CMS fields to the SEO, so you can attach a meta description and social sharing image to each CMS article. The ability to hide CMS items from lists but still have them in your database and vi

Hi, I’m looking for a faster way to apply a variable without having to open the dropdown every time. It would be very helpful if we could simply type something like #80 to quickly apply a variable. This would speed up the workflow a lot. Thanks!

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

I would like to be able to move existing groups within collections in variables.e.g. i’ve created group ‘paddings’ and realised later that i’d like to move it into a different collection (from ‘brand’ to ‘responsive’). At the moment I have to manually re-enter all the values. Pain in the butt if you don’t get your design system right at first go.I would like to be able to just drag and drop.

hey so im loving figma make ive built a few websites just by prompting but what i am confused about is why figma make and figma sites are 2 separate things i saw there is going to be an update to figma sites to be able to point and edit specific things but im just wondering where that then leaves figma make because now a couple of my websites are done i want to transfer them from figma make to figma site incase i want to make specific changes manually without prompting i just find the whole figma make and figma site separation confusing 

I want to be able to reference a frame from my design system file in a Site, for example.That way the only place I need to update a design is in my design file, not in the site. (or vice versa)

In Slides, presenter mode currently only supports dark theme.However, I have trouble reading white text on a dark background — the text blurs. It's similar to how I struggle driving at night due to light blurring.This is an accessibility issue. Could you implement a light theme option for presenter mode?Thank you!

The Problem: Hours Lost to Manual Data EntryIn my daily design workflow, my team frequently builds extensive, spreadsheet-like grids for presentations. Currently, I spend hours generating realistic cell data (using external AI tools) and manually copy-pasting hundreds of individual values into Figma component inputs.The Constraint: Strict Enterprise Plugin PoliciesWhile I know community plugins exist for data generation, they are not an option for my team. My organization operates under strict security policies and has globally banned almost all third-party plugins. To solve this at an enterprise level, we desperately need a native, out-of-the-box solution within Figma.The Proposed Solution: Native Generator FunctionsI propose adding native "Generator Functions" that can be linked directly to a component’s property inputs, operating similarly to how we currently apply variables.Here is how the

I'm really enjoying the Actions menu! It would be awesome to have the option to access the Assets tab directly as well, just like we can currently access the Assets left panel with a keyboard shortcut. This way, we could set a custom shortcut to open the Assets tab directly from the Actions floating menu.  ​@Figma_Desktop🙏

Depending on the art the ruler guides are displayed on top of, the inability to change the color of the guides is also an issue. They seem to be a low opacity, which doesn’t make any sense at all to me with how I use ruler guides. Ruler guides are toggled on and off as needed. Why would I want the ruler guides to be unobtrusive and almost impossible to see? This is a real accessibility issue for designers using the Figma app. Figma needs to implement real accessibility controls by letting us select the color of UI elements such as ruler guides.

When you have a section selected, no colors show in the right-hand panel by default. So you click the “show colors” button and instead of showing you the colors, it gives a little preview of just 3 or so colors, and then you have to click again to show all the colors - this time with no prompt.What gives? Why make this take 2 clicks to see the damn colors? Also the second state takes up even less space than the first, just combine them into one so there’s a prompt for the user and a preview, or default to the second state from the beginning! Or the first state, frankly it doesn’t matter much its just annoying that its 2 clicks. Who would ever be like “Oh these 3 randomly chosen colors with no labels are exactly what I wanted to see here, all done.”UX rant over thanks.

Hey everyone,As a product designer working with a pretty large internal design system, I kept hitting the same limitation in Figma Variables: they’re great for static values, but the moment you want a scalable system (spacing scale, type scale, radii, opacity variants, responsive values…), you end up maintaining a ton of derived variables manually… or in spreadsheets.Variables Plus — a plugin that lets you define relationships between variables using formulas, so derived values stay in sync automatically when the base variable changes.Examples: space_2 = space_1 * 2, space_3 = space_1 * 3 h1 = base_font * 2.25, h2 = base_font * 1.75 col_w = (container_w - (gutter * (cols - 1))) / cols
