Please create a feature where the nodes can be collapsed. I’m on the brink of migrating from Mindmeister but FigJam can’t collapse nodes, so my large mind map will look so messy. I only tackle one subtopic at a time in my group meetings. Thanks in advance

Hi, Apologies if this question was asked before. How do we expand/collapse the nodes in a mindmap? Will be ideal to be able to do so, otherwise the mindmap gets too big thus having to constantly scroll left/right/top/down breaking the flow of the presentation. Thank you.

In short when you are building a library there are times a specific piece gets updated or we need to pull it from the library to reconfigure. To do that right now, we have to unpublish the WHOLE library and then go back in and re-publish each piece. As our library expanded that “republishing” of pieces becomes more and more tedious. If we just had the ability to “unpublish” a section (like how you can publish) that would make building and scaling a lot easier.

When working in figma in a tight laptop screen, it would be very helpful to have the figma UI be adjustable to be smi transparent like a frosted glass effect adjustable to the degree of how forsted/transparent it is. this will provide designers with more peripheral vision of the screen.

When users who don’t have full seats receive a link to a Figma file, the see this view (assuming they are authorized to view it).  At least half the people do not notice or don’t understand how to request access to dev mode or, if they already have permissions, to access Dev mode from here. The toast on the bottom ends up being a much stronger signal than incomprehensible “switch to dev mode” icon, so they click it. As a result, our admins get multiple Edit requests per day… This is problematic in multiple ways:Devs who were trying to get access to product specs and already have permissions, can’t so the work is paused or completed based on screenshots (trust me, it happens all the time) Admins of the organization are bombarded with Edit requests multiple times a day. They ignore these requests since we don’t add any designers on any cadence, but they still have to sort between reasonable Dev seat requests and Edit requests instead of adding devs in bulk There’s actually no way to chan

It would be nice if you could conveniently copy and paste from Figma to illustrator. I often create my own icons and custom shapes and it’s really annoying that I have to export these elements to files and import them in another program to fix or modify them.

TL;DR Link to frame breaks when it is moved to another file/frame In a big company with many designers, IT analysts and developers, we found out that best practice for developer handoff is to link Figma frame to Jira ticket, so developers don’t need to search through dozens of files, pages and frames to find what needs to be implemented. No problem till now. But as designers, we have many versions of different screens in a different state and after a while, it becomes quite a messy place. So we want to clean up the space, group workflows and move it to other pages or to other files (i.e. designed workflow is small at first so it is laid within bigger group, but it grows in time so we need to move it to another page/split it into multiple files). But when we do that, we break all links in Jira, so either developers can’t find the right screen when needed, or we need to invest excessive time to change all links in Jira, which can vary from tens to hundreds of screens. Does anyone else ex

As the title suggests, it would be terribly useful to be able to reset just the padding override for a specific component instead of having to hit reset all just to be able to set the padding to “inherited from master component” and remove any overrides.

If I apply a color style to an object as a fill (or stroke), I can’t apply any additional fills to that object. I also can’t change the opacity of that fill when it’s tied to a style. Example: I have a button that is a frame with a blue background which is tied to a color style. I want to create a hover effect for that button by adding an additional 10% black fill on top of my blue color. Currently to accomplish this, I have to detach the blue from it’s color style, then add an additional fill black on top of it and reduce the 2nd fill’s opacity to 10%. See example screenshots below. This not only breaks my blue color style, but if I have black as a style in my design system, I can’t use that color style either. Has anyone found a workaround for this that I’m missing?

It would be very helpful if we could accept library updates per page, so that we can exclude some pages from being updated (ready for dev) while accepting the updates for other pages (design WIP pages). In our Figma files we have separate pages ‘Ready for dev’ to which no changes should be made after handoff. But we want to continue designing on other pages in the same file (working on new iterations), so we want to be able to accept component updates from the library. But these updates are automatically applied to every page in the file, which means the ‘Ready for dev’ designs are also modified and sometimes even break. I do not want to have to make a separate file for every time I hand over a design, because I want to keep all designs for a specific feature together in 1 file. A solution would be to be able to accept library updates for specific pages rather than all pages. What do you think about this? Similar (closed) topics that I’ve found: Component updates limited to a page Exc

Would be great to have basic formatting properties for tables. Cell color is not enough to create certain data visualizations.Stroke properties: color, weight, line type (dashed, solid) Merge cells: just a must Drop shadow: for table as a whole. At least in design mode Headers: ability to select hoe many rows to display as header Footers: same as headers Alternating colors Basic filtering or tagging Support in design files

Hello Figma Product Team!  👋 I’m writing to propose a change to the Starter plan:please make “Unlimited files and projects” available to all users, not only those on Professional and above. Here’s why this matters: Projects act like folders. The ability to organize design files into Projects is a basic need—similar to creating folders on a computer. Yet in the Starter plan, users are limited to just one project (with up to 3 editable files) and everything else is held in “Drafts.” This makes management chaotic and files hard to find and classify. Unsurprisingly, many users are frustrated. For example, one Redditor observed: “Drafts are unlimited (for now) so long as they’re on a team… but it’s sleazy, it’s scummy, it’s dark UX, it’s crappy upselling” (reddit.com, jitter.video, reddit.com) Another shared: “You are limited to 4 projects, and 3 pages per project… This is a major rug pull imo. A terrible change for people who work on many projects without compensation” (reddit.com)

Is there a way to turn a navigation bar into a sticky header?

 Message:Hi Adobe team,I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for Illustrator's selection behavior. Currently, Illustrator uses direction-based drag selection:Left to right drag selects only objects fully enclosed (Contain).Right to left drag selects any object touched (Touch).While this is useful once you know it, it can be unintuitive for new users or when switching between other design tools (like Figma or CAD software) which use consistent selection behavior.🆕 Feature Suggestion: Please consider adding a Selection Mode toggle in Preferences or the top toolbar:Touch (Partial Overlap): Select objects partially within the selection box.Contain (Full Overlap): Select only objects completely inside the selection box.

How to copy and paste text from Word documents has changed. I’m having trouble pasting into text boxes in particular. When I copy and paste text from Word it appears as an image in Figma. I have to paste as an image using CMD+V then repaste with CMD+SHIFT+V for the text to paste into a box. Has the way you copy and paste changed in Figma recently? It seems this little difference is adding quite a lot of time to my workflow at the moment.

I hope to add the function of path gradient, which is very useful for logo design. 

I’ve worked in Slides for a few hours now and have run into some bugs and possible quality-of-life improvements that could be made. I think the product has a lot of potential so far, for what it’s worth! It’s off to a great start and I think it will be super helpful for me. Good things The default unstyled slides provided by Figma are simple and high-quality. They’re working great as a basis for building my own custom template. Would love to have more diagrams available in the official library Figma provides. QOL improvements Command + R doesn’t work to rename layers, and you can’t batch rename layers. As a layer-namer this has broken my flow a lot. Implemented Managing the text styles has been a little weird, because the editing features seem to be split between slides mode and design mode. I understand that once I have the design and styles set up the idea is probably that I won’t need to edit them in design mode too much (thus keeping slides mode UI cleaner and more focused on co

I use Figma in my “regular job” as a design engineer. I love it. It helps use collaborate across time zones and deliver quality products each time. I currently serve on the board of a non-profit and wanted to introduce tech to help us be more productive, efficient, and better serve the communities we support. We are entirely self-funded now as we lost our government grant. All staff, including the board, are volunteers. The operating budget is very, very limited - and 95% of it goes towards helping terminally ill, elderly, and underserved in our community. My board is spread across the USA. As we struggle to reach more people in need and market our org, I thought Figma would be a great platform to use to strategize and brainstorm as a team, as well as design any portals or micro sites we might need in the future. Unfortunately, the cost of even a single user license is $200/year, a cost that is already prohibitive. It’s unfortunate and disheartening that Figma treats every team like a

i want to make a grid of images from an auto-layout. the previous behavior was that the layout would responsively place as many images on one row that fit within the frame’s horizontal bounds. so if the frame is widened, at some point the images would start wrapping around. this behavior is broken even when it’s set to grid layout. please fix, don’t explain how the new layout works, i understand it and want the old way restored.  added grid auto-layoutwidening the frame desired result from resizing the grid-layout  

Hi all,  just proposing to move the contextual text editor out of the way in Figjam table. problem:click on one cell in the column to update  click on the next cell to keep enter another entry for the column  see the menu bar is kinda blocking the next row image:   request: move the toolbox out of the way of the next row move to the top  have a ping’ed panel  nudge it further from the current cursor  just some ideas to kickstart, no preference on any solutions above - if you have better solutions, feel free to explore.

First, this feature is fantastic—it unlocks much cleaner output in Dev Mode and makes grid-like layout in design mode much simpler. But I think there’s a chance to push it even closer to parity with real CSS Grid and better support for table-like UI.Here are two suggestions: Dynamic sizing for columns and rowsCurrently, all columns in Grid Auto Layout are either equally sized or fixed. It would be amazing to support dynamic sizing more like CSS Grid’s fr units. Specifically: Support relative sizing (like fr units) that automatically divides leftover space among columns. Allow setting min/max constraints on columns and rows (similar to minmax() in CSS grid). Support percentage-based column sizing as an alternative to fixed pixels or even fractions. Why?Many real-world responsive designs need columns that flex but don’t shrink below a certain width. Supporting this would let us prototype and hand off responsive grid layouts with far less developer guesswork. *This doesn’t just allow

Selected container has decimal width because of Auto Layout GridI’ve applied the Auto Layout Grid mode to the parent layer of the selected container. That container is set to fill to be adjusted with the grid applied. It should be snapped to pixel as the Layout Guide is snapped to pixel while it is not. I’m setting up grid system for a design system and this is super important because the content within the selected container will always remain in decimals if this isn’t snapped to a pixel. Is there anything that I’m missing or doing wrong? 

Small poll:Let me know what you prefer (you can only pick one):More Figma products (e.g. new applications) Better Figma products (e.g. improved prototyping) 

Hey Team,So far loving Figma Make. I have been making plenty personal tools and utilizing them. Even though the complete code gets rewritten when I am trying to add new features or make any updates, its still manageable because I am the only user.But now I am looking at the possibility of creating few apps for my friends or expand the existing ones to accomodate foreign users. If I had the ability to branch my whole code or app, publish the primary one and try out changes or new features in a branched version of the app, it would make everything so easy. That way I can try various new things without worrying if doing anything will break my current build and effect all the users.Kindly add git like branching for Figma Make Apps

Thank you! just wanna say that i love figma sites even though it’s in beta it’s so easy to work with.no complaining .. just saying cant wait fore the total package!
