Can't currently apply variable to font in Figma Sites.

My figma file is getting huge and I want to move artboards to another file but retain all the comment history. Can you please build this?

It was brought up a while ago, but, I think it still makes sense for new frames to have Auto Layout enabled by default. Without it, the development paradigm is “everything is `position: absolute`” and pulled out of document flow. Yes, native (iOS, Android) paradigms approach layout by adding flow but I think Figma is far and away used more for web design.

As design systems grow organically, it might be necessary to reorder Variable Modes in the Local variables panel, similarly to how it is possible to reorder variables.

Hey, Figma team! You're great guys. But could you please allow us to right click the Main Component in a Library, and there's the option, something like "See all instances of this component" so we could see the list of all designs, where this components have been used? Just like we have Right Click > Go to Main component. Like this, but vice versa. In my company there are 50+ pages of designs. And few times a week i need to use some nice component from our enormously huge (like my penis) Component Library. But i don't know how. I want to see examples - how it has been used earlier?So here's what i often do: i screenshot it and post it in our slack and ask if anybody knows how to use that. And if i'm lucky enough, some colleague will answer.I believe it's not the most convenient way.

Grouping pages with in project. Tag pages to page within ‘Project’ to show relation or from other ‘Projects’just a suggestion for tool that I would find it useful.

Developers, if you read this thread, please take this into account in future releases. When viewing files in a project, Figma preloads ALL files in the project. The whole application starts to freeze and makes it difficult to use even the ‘create file’ button (over 1 min of waiting). Why not make this screen with the ability to preview 50 files, splitting all files into preview pages [1,2....50].  Colleagues, if you know how this can be fixed, I will be grateful.  Have a nice day! 

いつもありがとうございます。Figma Sitesを利用しいくつかの単一ページのプロダクトをリリースしました。しかしながら、リンク要素が<div>タグで再現されていることで下記のような弊害が発生しています。Analyticsなどで、aタグのクリックイベントが取得できない Googleのクローラーなどはaタグを操作しているという説もあり、SEO上リンク先を取得できていない可能性がある任意でタグを選択できたり、ClassやID名を記載できたりすると上記の問題も解消できると考えます、今後のアップデートで検討してもらえると嬉しいです。

I noticed with the new update that the GAP and PADDING input nearly look identical. I constantly click on the wrong input to add spacing between a component.

In UI2, when you needed to add a property to a text component there was a button for it just next to a text field, so you when you use variants the text will be easy to change.For some reason someone thought that putting that function under “Apply variables” button (with variant icon) and adding extra steps to access this function will be SO user friendly and so much better. As a software for UX designers, have you even tested it on various UX designers?When you read the amount of complains for new UI update, maybe it’s something you should consider to make your customers satisfy? At least bring back the option to bring back the old UI!

Upgraded to dev seat to get access to plugins, and now I can’t edit? The free tier rules and limits just go out the window?!? This is bullshit. Figma is bullshit.

Looking for some simple updates which would make using variables much more comfortable. We have a simple library, but with colors copied over multiple uses, states, etc. we have to scroll through this very small window in order to pick from ~50 colors. This is not even counting other sets of colors we use for graphs, charting, other things.Moreover, this is only true outside of the design system - In other files, I can control visibility by collection or based on type (fill vs stroke vs text, etc.). In the system file you just see it all - and especially since the hidden collections are visible, it’s a nightmare to scroll through this list.Basically you *must* be intimately familiar with naming conventions​​ for variables in order to find them at all - otherwise any dive into the variable list is 30 seconds of honing in on the right thing.Currently there’s a dropdown for filtering by library -Can we get a filter by collection? Default collection?Maybe expand/collapse groups? Maybe just

The lack of bulk downloading for backups is frustrating. This should be an available feature (even if a download link is sent separately for many files). The lack of bulk download paired with CAPTCHA confirmations every 4 minutes is exhausting to do.

Can a Figma Buzz template be published without restrictions? We have custom sized assets and tried to publish a template. Even with blank frames it still said Edit restrictions were applied. Using a Figma template doesn’t seem to have this issue. Is this a bug?

Example: Creating a loading spinner with 4 states. When copying and pasting an interaction from 1 to 2, you do not want the 2nd state to change to itself, rather to the state 3. It is frustrating having to do this every single time, although it could be automated. 

How do I hide tabs when designing? My workflow is messed up cz of the tabs showing up. This was fine until a couple of hours ago

how wtf why figma web so slow and laggy 😭😭⁉️

Hello Figma team, I’d like to suggest a small improvement regarding version naming. Currently, when I use the “Name this version” option on an autosaved version, the timestamp of the original autosave does not appear. This makes it a bit difficult to identify exactly when that version was created, especially when tracking changes or collaborating with teammates. It would be very helpful if the original autosave time could still be shown alongside the named version. This small detail could improve version tracking and team collaboration significantly. Thank you for your continued great work and support!

Without having to press the prototype black screen every time, thank you!

When a layer is off / hidden or hard to get to (very nested) - to have the ability through the layers panel to grab and edit it in a similar way to how illustrator do it - just the specific element is shown in an isolated display, all other elements are blurred in the background, even layers that are on top of the selected element. 

I need a way to change the order in which icons appear in the properties menu of the component instance. I use components for icons, and it would be nice if the icon names were sorted alphabetically, but instead they appear to be sorted by the order in which they were created. When there is a long list of icons, it makes it harder to find the icon you want. This is obviously not necessary for most components because they rarely have this number of variants, but for things like icons… it would be a huge help.

I work on multiple projects at the same time, and every time I use auto layout, the default gap is set to 8 and the padding to 0. I have to change these settings each time, which is quite frustrating and time-consuming. I really need a way to remember to do this. Instead, could we implement a feature in the file settings that allows me to preset these parameters? That way, my presets would automatically apply whenever I create something or use any shape, saving me the hassle of making adjustments each time and allowing me to work more efficiently.

The create a Figma Slides outline using Figjam is useful, but we need to be able to turn off the AI content fluff which ist adds to the slides because it is generic and meaningless and makes the ideation process harder particularly for neurodivergent people. Adding noisy words that mean nothing make it hard to think conceptually.  Creating a presentation can be a great way to organise thoughts and structure ideas. The fluffy content just gets in the way.            

Hi, can anyone help me revert this UI in my Figma design file back to the default UI? I’m having trouble figuring out whether certain elements are set as auto layout, frames, or something else. It’s making it harder for me to work. Any tips? T_T
