when looking at a project/folder of files in Figma it’d be awesome if there was a local search/find/filter to narrow down the list of files in this project/folder (not a global search) by typing a few characters. Today ⌘f does not start a global search so maybe that keyboard shortcut could be used for this?  another idea: when you start a global search while looking at a project/folder, automatically apply the `in:` filter for the project/folder you're currently viewing Why: I know a file exists in this project/folder I’m currently looking at but it might be buried really deep (if filtered by “Last modified”, which is the default sort option) and global search may not find it immediately (since it only lists the top 5 file results and then you need to the “see all results”). The currently viewed project/folder does not seem to influence/prioritize the search. There was a similar idea shared as a comment by Miguel Solorio to borrow GitHub’s “in this repo” filter during a global search.

I love the radial repeat tool! Please consider including this feature in the Figma Design interface, it is a disjointed experience to have to switch to Draw to access this specific feature. Thank you.

The color picker at the top-right of the Highlighter menu doesn’t appear to work. Clicking on it doesn’t open the color palette. Works with the pencil tool.

Currently polls require being logged into a Figma account. There’s no way to present with Figma Slides to a large audience and use the polls feature with anonymous people such as giving a talk for a group mentorship session on ADPList. I’d like to see an option to allow anonymous voting and an option to show a QR code for people to quickly vote on their phones while viewing a presentation you are giving.

With the latest update in May 2025, the new Grid tool is a fantastic addition — thank you so much for constantly improving the product!I’d love to suggest one enhancement: please consider adding an option to size rows and columns based on their content, similar to how “Hug contents” works in Auto Layout.This feature would be extremely helpful when designing tables, photo galleries, and many other layout types.Thanks again for your great work!

当前的figjam里的表格太丑了，宽高比很难调，也没办法合并单元格，现在自己用矩形拼装起来的

I use branching to update the component library. Because we are adjusting multiple components simultaneously, and some take longer to design or there are simply longer breaks (holidays, prioritization, etc.), it could be very painful to merge changes from the main file to the branch. Especially when the changes are not all loaded at the same time. Now, I have to click on one conflict, wait x minutes to load another, select it, wait again, etc. This process is highly ineffective and consumes a large amount of time. It’s even worse when, after 1 hour of checking the file and resolving conflicts, I receive a message saying that the merge failed. What I propose is to load all the conflicts in one go - even if it takes a longer time - and be able after to go through changes afterward without lagging. Ideally the progress bar would show approximate time or percentage. The ‘Resolve all’ button is not helpful because I want to keep some changes from the branch.

EwwCan we have a proper icon please? One that doesn’t look like there’s something wrong with it. 

Please add a way to remove specific names from a component name structure. We organize our files to make the components easy to find and that might include putting it inside another frame but we don’t want that frame name to appear when we’re actually using the component. Just like we have the “_” to show that a component isn’t supposed to be published, let us add a marker to a frame name to have it not show on the component library structure. Example: We have Page/Frame/Component, and renaming it to Page/_Frame/Component would show the component under Page/Component.

Hello, I am new to Figma and Ui practise. I have a small doubt with pencil tool. While holding shift key and drag mouse I get vertical and horizontal straight lines. But, I can’t get tangent straight lines with the help of this. Can anyone please show how to draw tangent straight lines in Figma with pencil tool.

The contrast checker is wrong as far as I can see.  I checked the same colour on the same background in the same element and got 2 different reading. One said pass and one said fail and the pass was 3.29:1 when a pass should be 4.5:1   

I absolutely cannot believe it’s not as easy as selecting the prototype wire and then grabbing the origin circle and moving it to another element, just like you can do with the destination (arrowhead).Please give me a use case where it’s more common for users to want to create another interaction of the same element going to a different destination than it is for a user to rewire an origin point.The only use case that springs to mind is when wiring up internal component variations, but I always do that via the Interactions palette and select the variation from the pull-down menu rather than manually drag the connections. Maybe I’m not the average user here, but it seems like Figma could have easily reimagined their wiring UI to facilitate changing the origin. Like make that the default behaviour and then add Opt/Alt to create a new wire from the same origin.

How do I make a GIF only play once (not loop) in Figma?

I have a scenario. I have a form in which I want to submit a comment. The comment object is on the screen and is a component with 3 variants: 1 > hidden (note-hidden) This is the component on the screen where it is at 0% visibility and 1px tall. 2 > transition state where it looks yellow (note-transition) Note is full size but is a yellow tone. 3 > the final state (note-default) The note is in it’s normal state. When I tap the submit on the form button I use a variable to change the variant from note-hidden to note-transition. The variant “note-transition” has an after-delay action to change it from yellow to the normal color. This is the old school 37Signals yellow fade pattern. The issue is that when I use a variable to change the variant, the “after delay” doesn’t work and it just stays as the “note-transition” state. My take is that this transition should trigger and it’s a bug.

In our flow, we try to use annotations to describe data paths for components and text fields. In some cases the dev mode UI becomes cluttered. A keyboard shortcut to toggle annotation visibility would solve this issue and also align the toolbar option with the others around it. As this is targeted to developers, they find more comfort into using the keyboard more. Side-note: i think there is a small bug: in a section, with multiple frames that contain annotations, the selected frame will have the annotations visible. But if no frame is selected, one of them will have the annotations visible. I don’t see a clear algorithm regarding the winning frame here.

...

I’ve been loving Slides for getting quick user feedback. However, it looks like the Poll and Alignment widgets may preview what other audience members have voted when you hover over options. Would it be possible to hide responses from other voters until they are revealed by the presenter to reduce bias?

Is it possible to have all comments within your click-and-drag selection area move?Currently, if comments are pinned on an actual frame, they’ll move with it, but it would be nice for comments outside of a frame to move as well as sometimes I like to leave comments right outside my actual design (sometimes a bunch of comments can get in the way and be distracting when designing or reviewing designs with others). In another example, when I’m organizing my page, clicking and dragging to select a group of items in figma should move everything in that area (think maybe a few components, groups, frames, scattered comments outside of frames moving all at the same time). Would make this process lot more easier and efficient instead of having to move outside comments one at a time!One more nice-to-have is if the “undo” feature works on comments too to remove comments you didn’t mean to put or put it back from where you last moved it.

I see that the Code Connect feature is currently only available in the Enterprise or Organization plans, which only support annual billing. This is quite a significant expense for my team. I need to be cautious before committing to this feature without experiencing it first. Could I request a trial opportunity before paying for it? Additionally, is there any plan to include this feature in the Professional Team package? Thank very much~

I wanted to delete and recreate a post that I accidentally created as a “Question” when I wanted to create is as a “Conversation”, but I realized I can’t delete the post because there is no delete button anywhere.

When I try to duplicate a variable, the "Delete" and "Duplicate" buttons are placed next to each other and look identical , I often miss and accidentally delete it… ( 

Hi Figma Team,I love using Figma – it’s an incredibly powerful tool for design collaboration. However, I noticed that once a user sets a profile picture, there’s no option to remove it and revert to the default avatar. Currently, the only options are to change the picture, but not delete it entirely.It would be great if you could consider adding a “remove” or “delete” option, so users have the flexibility to go back to the default avatar if they wish.Thanks for your amazing work, and looking forward to future improvements!

I am playing around with letter spacing. The slider (and when using arrow keys) needs to make adjustments in smaller increments to make it a more user friendly experience. When adjusting letter spacing this is typically a very fragile process with small chnages made in either direction. Ideally I want to keep this active and have the ability to make very small adjustments (perhaps with the addition of a hot key / shortcut).I can’t be the only one that feels this way, it just does not feel usable in its current form.(does anyone @figma kern ?)

Hi, I’m a Gaming Industry UIUX designer, for the longest of time,I’ve been using the web browser to go to figma, view as desktop mode,painstakenly go to the tiny layers, click on the correct frame to enter the Prototype preview mode.The reason why I don’t use the Figma Mobile app is because, unlike the Web Browser version, thereis no way I can fit to height for the layout. [Fit to Height] while allowing width to be responsive is a necessity when designing for landscape mobile games interface. I hope to see this feature implemented so I don’t have to wait till I bring the High fidelity design to the game engine to test things out. 

Original Situation:I am working in the Figma tool, and while checking the preview of my designed screen, I encountered an issue. In the preview (actual size), there is a Figma header overlay. Parts of that header are not fully visible or clickable if I place a link within it. The overlay’s position and size seem to block interaction with elements in that area, especially when I move the cursor over the header section.Idea / Suggestion:It would be very helpful if Figma provided an option to adjust overlays vertically (in addition to the current positioning options). This would allow designers to better control the placement of overlays and ensure all parts, including headers with links, are fully visible and interactive during previews. I am sharing this idea to improve usability for designers and collaborators. Please refer to the attached UI for a better understanding of the issue.
