With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

It would be nice if there was a way to set the default layout guides when you push + between two slides. Now it’s always set to one column and one row.

Hi! First, thanks to the Figma team for all the hard work. Now, let’s talk about Figma Slides Templates. To edit the template styles, I have to select a slide first — which feels a bit unintuitive. In Figma, when you click on the canvas without selecting anything, you can access the file’s styles. Can we bring that same concept into Slides?When I open the template selector, I can edit the styles there through a dropdown. Is that really the best or only way to manage styles in Figma Slides? I don’t think so.Colors & Text Styles: I can delete them, but only through a pretty complex interaction — right-click?Layout Grid: How can I set a default grid? Right now, I have to manually add my custom grid to every new slide I create. If we can't set a default, the feature kind of loses its purpose. :( 

Hi,When designing screens for our platform we use 2 design systems within one frame and even within the same component. We have:Our own design system with light and dark theming Either Material Design or IOS 26 with light and dark themingCurrently it is, to my knowledge, not possible to use these two efficiently in tandem. For example:I can switch both to dark mode but then variables used from one design system used in components of the other design system will not change. To illustrate this: I use the tab bar from the IOS 26 library but override the text labels with variables from our own design system. Now, when I switch to dark mode these overwritten values will not change.Is there a solution that I am not aware of to tackle this issue? If not, perhaps a universal switch that works across libraries would be an idea?

Please include REM as a mode of measurement as it is becoming more and more used by developers. Having to manually convert the measurement is so tedious.

Video settings have a dedicated button when not in Design Mode. When in Design Mode this button is nowhere to be found. So if I want to adjust the settings of a video I must get out of Design Mode first. Is that intended? Not Design Mode Design Mode        

Two related topics for working in Figma Slides:Is it possible to set a default animation for a slide deck? I’d prefer fade in over any sliding, and would like this to be set when I add an animation for any object If not possible, is there an easy way to set/configure multiple animations? The only way I’ve been able to do this is to select multiple items in the design tree (where items can be hard to find sometimes), rather than just selecting multiple animation objects in that bar (using e.g. the shift key).Otherwise I’m really enjoying using this great tool!

Does anyone know how to turn off Figma’s auto-formatting? I’m trying to type '- ', but it looks like Figma is assuming this text must be a bulleted list. I’m having a similar issue when using text that’s in the format of an email address or a url. Figma is changing these to unwanted links. I’d like to turn off all text auto-formatting.

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

I’d like to suggest the ability to expose fill properties—specifically image and color fills—as editable component properties in Figma. Use Case: In designing components like cards, avatars, or thumbnails, it’s common to have a placeholder image or color that needs to be customized per instance. Currently, to change the fill, I have to drill down into the component’s layers and manually adjust the fill, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.  Proposed Solution: Allow fills (both image and color) to be exposed as component properties, similar to how text and instance swaps are handled. This would enable users to change fills directly from the right-hand properties panel when selecting a component instance, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency. Benefits:  Simplifies the process of customizing components with different images

The wrap function for auto layout has been a great addition but I keep hitting a wall when trying to illustrate expectations of alignment/stretch of wrapped items as the width of container/screen/viewport changes.An example is with cards containing content of different length. Expectation: card containers should stretch to fill vertical gaps in grid so they all share the height of element with most content (as it works with CSS grid or the align-items: stretch of Flexbox)Current behaviour: I am limited to choosing between fixed-height or hug contents for the cards. Result: card heights cannot dynamically adapt and I am have to write extensive documentation for devs and cannot freely create prototypes using dynamic content.Am I missing something?  

Would be nice to have the ability to insert a UI component that sticks to the end of multi-line text similar to how the ::after function works in html. usage for this in my field is a “caret” (>) or external link symbol following link text. would be helpful for “buttons” as well.

While the most common use for MCP is probably building code prototypes, our team is also using it to create documentation via Claude Cowork. The heavy lifting is done via annotation, and while annotations are great for describing what elements in the frame do, they’re kind of sloppy for declaring what tapping them does. If we had prototype interaction support in MCP then LLMs could derive flow which would eliminate needing to annotate buttons with things like “goes to ‘view name’ “.

Maybe the overlay functionality was originally designed to simulate modals. But two (unnecessary?) limitations limit their power for other applications: The fact that I cannot have more than one overlay open The fact that I cannot interact with the area outside the overlay is very limiting Please allow for having multiple overlays and for interactions outside of an active overlay. If you need regular modal behavior, you can still have that by checking a checkbox (off by default) in the Figma UI. Limitations like this mean I have to back & forth between Figma & Protopie. I fully realize that Figma may not be aiming for HiFi prototyping (text fields, conditionals and even sensors). But just a couple of well designed tweaks and features will enable me (and probably others) to do 90% of my prototyping in Figma… Example: Image you have an image grid with smaller images. Clicking a

I was surprised to notice today that the long awaited Connected Projects is now available in Figma but also very disappointed to see the absurd limitations on how many connected projects each plan can have. I can somewhat understand the limitation of being able to connect with one company at a time for technical/admin reasons in the first release, but WHY do we need the limitations of how many connected projects we can have if all parties are already paying for their licenses? The max 3/6 in Professional and Organization is ridiculous, as it also counts the projects that are shared our way. Please remove these artificial limitations, or at least make them a lot bigger like 20 / 40 / 80 so they make some sense in the real world.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this We need to control access to various areas of Figma, and Closed teams help, but it’s painful to have to add people individually. I would love the ability to group users into user groups (aha!) and bulk add them to teams with the correct permissions. Individual users could be added with more permissions, as a local override, but for the most part, we could just add these groups. This would help immensely with change management and onboarding, as well as maintaining access guardrails where appropriate. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Example: I want to add Designer X to our UXD user group. By default they gain edit access to all working teams. However, as part of that group, they’re only given view and library access to the Design System team. Ask questions to bring the community into the

Is this a bug or is there a reason that the Affine Transformation values ( node.fills[0].imageTransform ) are sometimes slightly less than 1 or slightly more than 0 when they should be 1 or 0?  Image Cropped Width-only (height should be 0 but is reporting 0.00049)[ [0.8247655630111694, 0, 0.0004940849030390382], [0, 1, 0],]  Image Cropped Height-only (width should be 1 but width is reporting 0.999)[ [0.9990118145942688, 0, 0.0004940849030390382], [0, 0.8865153789520264, 0],]We’re normalizing these values against a threshold to sort these discrepancies out for now, but wondering if this has been brought up in the past and if there's a reason for it or not

Currently, you can only set the default mode of a workspace by enabling the library for everyone in the workspace. It would be helpful to be able to set the default mode without enabling it for everyone. The use case we have is that we have two different libraries. One library with all of our theming variables, and one with just the semantic variables we want our designers to use. We do not want all designers to use the theming variables library but the theme is controlled by that library. Can we please add the ability to change the default mode without enabling the library?

Problem Statement:Currently, for the handoff file, designers duplicate the frames to show the designs in other modes like dark mode/tablet size.When they do that, the file obviously bulks up. Also the prototypes break. After the file bulks up, designers make changes on any one mode, and might forget to make the same changes in the other modes. Solution:Dev mode should have a preview option for developers to switch between modes and screen sizes. This way, the designers only need to share a limited number of screens and the maintenance becomes easier.Since this will be in preview mode, any change developers make can only be visible to them. They can have a reset option for after they are done previewing. For developers to change screen sizes (based on min and max width set by designers), an auto-layout option might be needed for sections. So that other frames move gracefull

I’d love to see Rive embeds working live in Figma. Currently, in Notion you can embed a rive animation and then interact with it directly in the Notion window, this is also available on Twitter feeds. Here is an example of some Rive animations running in notion → RIVE EXAMPLE I am currently creating motion design standards to complement a design system and giving the engineers the ability to interact with the component they are building would be phenomenal. I’d love to see Rive animations incorporated into prototypes as well.

I would love the ability to set a background color in the layer list. I’d like to be able to set this on an individual layer or group of layers. I often have trouble finding important groups of layers. I’ve resorted to using emojis which helps. But imagine that we could color the background color of the labe

When creating hand-off documents I like to showcase user flows by using arrows between different UI elements. I have to use plugins to create these arrows at the moment. When playing with Figjam I notice it had a connector option - this is great. I would love it if we could also have this connector option inside Figma as it would be a HUGE timesaver for hand-off. I would like to think this would be a super easy update given that we can already edit connectors inside Figma. We just need a connector button in the toolbar like so:

Hi Figma team,As a UI/UX designer using Figma Sites CMS, I would love to see some enhancements to support richer content workflows. Specifically:Embed video links directly: It would be great to insert a video URL (e.g., from YouTube or Vimeo) as a field in the CMS and bind that video to a module on a page. This would allow teams to manage video content from the CMS without touching the design and would enable more engaging pages. Bind CMS text fields to embed modules: Currently embed modules don’t appear to support binding to CMS text fields. Allowing modules to use CMS text fields as their source would let us reuse structured content (such as code snippets or other text fragments) across multiple pages and keep everything in sync.These capabilities would make Figma Sites CMS more flexible for content-heavy websites and simplify collaboration between designers and content editors. Please consider adding these features in a future update.

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.
