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

Maybe it’s too much to ask for a full-on photoshop within Figma, but here are two features that would help my team and I tremendously moving over from XD. The biggest issue is in XD we can easily click “open in photoshop”, edit an image, save, and go back to XD where that instance of the image is edited live. Some of the things we do very often are placing a color overlay over an image, and erasing parts of an image using a brush. Just thought I’d put this out in the world, thanks for reading!

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!

Hello,I need the ability to the hex code on my color variables when I am applying them to my components. I’m using Material Color Tokens for naming so it is not obvious what the color is based on the name.

It would be great to have quick-access aspect ratio presets (like 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) when working with the rectangle or frame tools in Figma.How it works:While designing a website or app, I often use image ratios like 3:2, 1:1, or 19:9. If my image has a width of 1024 px, it would be great to just pick a ratio like 3:2 from a dropdown, and Figma sets the right height automatically — no need to calculate it myself.Example interaction:Select a rectangle with 296 × 170 px → choose 3:2 → Figma adjusts it to 296 × 197 px (3:2).See Image below as reference.Thanks.Leo  

If you're an artist, content creator, or small business looking to expand your merch lineup, consider branching into unique collectibles that truly resonate with your audience. One increasingly popular option in 2025 is custom enamel pins, which offer a cost-effective, visually striking way to showcase your designs or brand identity. These pins are not only trendy but also highly customizable, allowing for creative freedom in shape, color, and theme. Whether you're launching a limited edition series or want a consistent product for your online store or event booth, enamel pins add a professional, collectible flair that fans love to show off.

i u’d love to see Figma provide a way for companies or organizations to officially submit and add their own shape kits, icons, or templates directly into the FigJam “More Shapes” sidebar—alongside AWS, Google Cloud, and similar resources. This would allow teams to streamline diagramming with organization-specific diagrams available instantly. At present, only core libraries curated by Figma are available there, so extra shapes need to be imported as templates or community files. Can Figma build a model or submission process for partners or trusted orgs to add resources to the sidebar natively? This would hugely benefit larger teams and anyone diagramming with standards unique to their work.

TLDR - Variables in editor should indicate they are stored in an external file. When using Variables in conditional statements or setVariable the UI elements don’t completely nor clearly display the context of the variable, such as which file its being referenced from, or its full path. Basically, it looks like you shorten the full path of the variable. As such when using variables that are deeply nested in the Collection, it becomes impossible to see that. This creates an issue if you use the same variable name within nested groups in a collection. For example `/Collection/Group-1/Count` becomes `Count`. As such, if you have `/Collection/Group-2/count` it becomes impossible to know which Count variale you are using. THis forces you to name variable count_1, count_2 etc. Also, If i make the mistake of creating a copying a component from one figma file with variables to another figma file, (without the variables). Then the component will reference the variables from the source figma fil

I’m currently dealing wiht complex bar charts and tables. Every once in a whiche, I need to re-order 20+ rows, columns, bar charts etc. There’s no shortcut or function to simply flip order. This would be a huge QoL improvement. 

Hi, I've noticed that Figma's AI chat doesn't allow new conversations, and I understand LLMs have context limits.Does Figma's LLM consider all historical project context?It would be helpful to have multiple chat windows for building different components, as the current single-component process is slow. ThanksJag
