The Problem In figma, it is currently not possible to persist certain compository styles without having to think of all the possible use cases before and putting them in there, or to provide a component just so that it can be used as a reference, a starting point. The reason for this is that once a layer is in a component, it cannot be replaced, removed, multiplied or reordered. This makes sense, but limits what a component can do. Examples Buttons that are capable of showing any icon. The Icon can only be replaced by a different icon of the same size or the same parent component (icon/*). Meaning, that all icons that are available need to be thought of before. This breaks the components capabilities, because it all of a sudden needs to be aware of the icons it can display. Text-Content

When clicking “Review library updates” (with the blue notification dot on the library icon), the Manage Libraries panel still opens to the Recommended tab instead of Updates. This makes it easy to miss actual updates — especially since the Updates tab no longer displays any visual indicator to show that updates are available.The Recommended tab is useful, but it’s far less important than reviewing and accepting library updates, which happen more frequently and directly impact active work.Two improvements would make this clearer and more consistent: Default the panel to the “Updates” tab whenever updates are available. Add a visible indicator to the Updates tab itself (e.g., a blue dot or badge count), so updates remain obvious even if the user switches tabs or reopens the panel. These small changes would make library up

Similar functionality to AE, and also Figma’s native Sweep functionality with Ellipses, the ability to trim any path’s Start and/or End points would allow for more optimized design and prototyping. Some examples: Elegant design/prototyping of custom bar and line charts as well as interactive sliders (RN my adjustable horizontal charts and sliders componen

I have multiple Figma accounts with multiple clients and multiple projects. I also have a handful of designers on my team. Because all of us manage changes requested by the client, we often miss some tagged comments because the structure of notifications in Figma is just a long list. I would love to be able to tag comments as “To do list” and then reference and jump to all those action items and mark as complete. The more I convince companies to adopt Figma, the more comments there are (by non designers). I’d also love to tag comments as “ideas” or by topic so i dont have to guess click on everything to see which comments i need to look at. Essentially I want to “View groups” of comments that are most relevant and just hide the ones that are needed on the page for others but are in my way when I’m doing my work.

Working with comments in Figma is still very inconvenient. There are several features that are greatly missed for easier management: Group management of comments. For example, to select a group of comments and move them on the page, to another page, delete them, or resolve them. For now, I have to go through and delete comments one by one! Lack of access policies. Case: I shared the prototype with a client, but I don’t want the client to see the internal comments from team members (comments from the editing mode are accessible in prototypes for some reason). «Done» all comments on a page/file. Basic filters: by user, specific day. Tags! Different team members comment on different topics: UX, art, dev, business, etc. There needs to be a way to filter comments not only by team members but also by themes. The simplest thing: hashtags! For example, we could specify something like

It would be really nice if I could pop out the variables into their own window. Currently I can only have it as a dialogue in Figma, which means it always overlaps over my design and especially on smaller screens this becomes quite the issue. I often need to see variables and my design at the same time, so moving it to a second monitor (or even on a laptop quickly switching with alt + tab between the two) would be very helpful.

Hi Figma team 👋 I’m a product/app designer and I work with large, complex files that contain many components and extensive documentation. The new behavior of Figma Annotations — where they briefly “float” or animate during scroll before becoming sticky — is extremely distracting in daily use. Because my design system files are dense and rely heavily on annotations, this micro-scroll animation triggers constantly. It feels like a bug or glitch every time I move through a frame, and it makes focused work much harder. Feature request:Please add a simple toggle to disable this animation and allow annotations to be instantly sticky (or fully static). Even a basic on/off setting would significantly improve usability for designers working with large files. Thanks for considering this improvement!

I was thinking of what if @figma adds CYMK Color, which can be used for printing purpose. Recently was designing a poster & wanted to print it but, after printing colors were changed. So i thought what if @figma can add CYMK Color in the software. Let me know what you guys think

As BNPL apps deal with sensitive financial information, security is the number one priority. Java Spring boot or ASP.NET core can be considered in terms of highly secure and scalable environment in terms of the backend. Such frameworks provide the security features like authentication, authorization procedures that are essential in the financial applications. Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) are perfect to create secure high-performance native apps in the case of mobile development. Secondly, it is essential to consider embedding powerful encryption libraries and achieve compliance with PCI DSS when processing payments in the BNPL app development, as these should provide protection to the users and make your customers trust you.

There is no way to add spaces between words in typography section in Figma. There is a huge difference between letter spacing and word spacing in typography. However, we only have the ability to change the spacing of letters instead. There is even a CSS property called word-spacing. word spacing in CSS Letter spacing in CSS So can we have the simple word spacing feature added to Figma typography section

Is there any work currently being done to allow a mobile navigation in a hamburger menu for Figma sites.None of the navigation blocks have this option. in the mobile component and even when I create components with an overlay interaction, the overlay will not appear when I use the component in Figma sites no matter what I try.This is a pretty big limitation to one of the most common patterns in mobile UI.Is there any way to accomplish this that I am missing?

FigJam的工作背景版本增加了切换为深色背景的功能，可以根据需求设置。白色太耀眼了，我一直习惯Figma的深色背景，用起来非常简单。

It would be helpful to have the ability to download a CSV file of members with all of the data available online. It would also be helpful to be able to view historical data for specific time periods in the event permissions have changed or members have been deleted.

Feature Request: Multi-Select in Point and Edit Current: Single element selection onlyProposed: Ctrl+Click for multi-select with task list Benefits:✅ Select multiple elements at once✅ Clear task list above chat: "Task 1", "Task 2", etc.✅ Reference specific tasks: "#Task1 change color to red"✅ Faster, more precise, less confusion Use Case: Complex forms/dashboards with many similar elements

I’m working on our team’s design system and we’re planning to use CSS Grid as the basis of our page structure in code. I’d like to replicate this behaviour in Figma to close the gap, and while the Grids frame setup in Autolayout is CSS Grid, it’s incredibly limited. You have a max of 12 columns (which is fine, that does everything you need) but the rows having to be predefined by the number, and worse, by having to be 1fr makes this setup useless. This means rows have a predetermined height based on the number you add that evenly divide the space within the frame. But content is king, and they don’t respond to the heights of what lives within them or collapse if something needs to be hidden. It’s frustrating that Grids was released without even this basic aspect, I don’t know what you can do with the current set up except for a super simple splash page, and the inspect makes it even more useless as it won’t be accurate. I’ve been told by (supposely) an employee at Figma

I’d love to see some enhancements to the Projects screen and file browser. There’s a variety of old topics for this out there, but they appear dead – many of them years old. Better UI for ProjectsDisplay descriptions – Currently you can add project descriptions in the project settings, but they don’t display anywhere Display metadata – See belowAdditional metadata for projectsTags – Ability to add tags to projects, particularly around what products they are for Statuses – Similar to the ready for dev status in designs, allow labelling project statusFiles not in a projectWith miscellaneous concepts and FigJams, sometimes they don’t have a dedicated “project”. We don’t want them in drafts though, because we want to have shared access. This usually ends up with us creating a “miscellaneous” project to store these files. It would be great if files did not have to be in a project, similar to ho

Figjam’s Pages and their restricted horizontal scrolling has become an issue for my team. Typically, we work left-to-right. For instance: When we have a meeting with stakeholders, we create a board with the agenda and content. During the meeting we annotate that board, then to the right, we create another board to ideate the next topic. As more work items and meetings come up, we add boards to the right, so that we have a visual trail of the work we’ve done. Figjam’s limited Page canvas have made it very hard to work like this because we can’t keep adding content to the right because the canvas ends. Because of this, we wrap our work lane up (because we have more vertical space available), but that makes the Page more difficult to navigate because a user then has to zigzag through the trail of work. Questions: Do people ever use the vertical height of a Figjam Page to it’s fullest extent? Is there a way to limit the Figjam board based on a storage level instead of a ar

Hi, I’m trying since about 1 month to contact FIGMA sales team to see for an Organization License via the Contact form, with no news, I tried in English, in French (about 4 times), and even via Contact Support (A ticket is open now for about 10 days here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/1588454). I tried also direct mail to sales@figma.com It seems that it  exists no way to contact anyone from figma except this forum :(We would like to have a contact to discuss a full switch for our European organization to Figma tools.Any answer would be appreciate, thanks in advance, Christophe LOUISArcelorMittal Europe – Flat products

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope

I was trying to find a way to combine more than one string variable together without the need to create to text layers. My use case is: I have plenty of small string variables with specific details associated with a main variable mode. I have plenty of variables modes. I need to combine some of the variables together to generate a more complex string. Current possible solutions (both the solutions are not great for various reasons): Create 2 text layers and connect them with String Variable A and String Variable B. [I need to create an auto-layout frame that contains the 2 layers and resize automatically based on text content and if a variable is empty for any reason] Create a String Variable C that contains String Variable A and String Variable B. [I need to copy and paste the content of both Variables A and B into Variable C. If anything change in time for A or B, I have to change also C]

SummaryAllow Figma Make to read an .npmrc file so teams can install and use internal or private scoped packages (e.g., @company/components) within their projects.ProblemOur organization maintains internal web component libraries that align to our design system in Figma. These components are published as scoped npm packages (e.g., @ourorg/design-system). Currently, Figma Make does not support .npmrc configuration or scoped package resolution, which prevents us from using our own code directly in Figma Make. It would also reduce the amount of code Figma make generates if it doesn’t have to generate common component code.ImpactWithout this support, designers cannot easily work with the same components developers use in production. This creates a disconnect between design and code, increases manual work, and raises the risk of inconsistencies.

As a product designer, I find myself spending quite some time setting up different boards, pages and files to structure my work well. Yet as a pretty unstructured person, I find myself struggling with this. I therefore got thinking how much I would love a set of file presets, that would automatically set up a good structure for working on a digital product, like a “Product Exploration - preset” or a “Service Iteration - preset”. For instance, it could contain files for different purposes, such as iterations and finished sketches. And within those files already organise them in relevant pages, such as “Components, Flow A, Playground” etc.  Sounds pretty vague as I´m writing this, but think there is a good idea in there somewhere.

Something like the below features  would make my world 100,000,000,000,000,000,000s easier native support: the ability to drag a mp4 or animated gif into a frame, lay text on top and re-export as animated gif or mp4  the ability to pick a gen ai model and generate a clip as background, lay type on top and export as mp4 or animated gif with any gen ai feature the ability to allow users to select from a specified library of reference photos  Hope this helps!  🤣

Hi Figma team,After updating the desktop app today, I noticed that the Auto Layout panel no longer appears when selecting an Auto Layout frame. Additionally, the Layer panel now uses icons, making it difficult to distinguish between Frames and Auto Layout containers.Interestingly, the web version works correctly, showing the Auto Layout settings as expected.This change has significantly affected my workflow, and I hope you can either restore the panel visibility or provide a clearer way to access Auto Layout settings in the desktop app.Thank you for your attention!

I use percentages in a project for the letter spacing. I can’t use variables to achieve this value. It always defaults to pixels.
