Problem StatementAs a designer who frequently presents work to clients, I need a way to present specific sections of my design file without duplicating frames across pages or creating complex prototype flows. Currently, there's no streamlined way to selectively show frames from the same page during presentations.Current LimitationsPresentation View: Works only for all frames on a page or manually selected frames, but doesn't allow for predefined sections Duplicate Pages: Creates maintenance overhead when designs change, requiring updates in multiple places Prototype Flows: Overly complex for simple presentation needs FigJam Boards: Requires moving content to a different environment Dev Mode: Primarily for development handoff, not optimized for client presentationsProposed SolutionA Section-Based Presentation Mode that would allow designers to:Define "presentation sections" within a single page Tag or group frames as belonging to specific presentation sections Choose which section(s) to

I would Figma to provide form controls such as radio, dropdown etc. functionalities by default. Those are so heavily used in some designs but then to create how a radio should behave in real scenario, that needs a lot of efforts currently in Figma. These are some of the features I miss from Axure. Creating a dropdown with list options and interactions for those are inbuilt in Axure. I don’t understand what prevents Figma to provide those just of the shelf. Until that I need to deal with the frustrations!

Can you allow us to keep the April updates like the 90s pixelated cursors (RIP bunny kao ani cursor) and this year’s FigPets? I know it’s a short term, fun thing you guys are only doing for the month of April or a few weeks, etc., but in a world that is constantly demanding and sucking dopamine as well as the life out of you, you can’t underestimate how much some of these things really bring delight and joy to users (who are themselves often working overtime to bring delight and joy to users).Also, RIP to Kero my often angry but sometimes calm froggy and my teammate’s burned toast.kthxbye

Want to be able to speed up and crop videos on slides

Plugins are very integrated part of any Figma workflow, current toolbar is capable of more buttons, which can be seen in other Figma plugins.I would like to have the option to show plugins so I can access it more quickly. 

In Figjam, shapes can be "free-resized" to accommodate whatever location and contents one would like, without resizing the font - the text re-flows:Shapes can be resized however you like regardless of contentStickies, however, seem to have two shapes available regardless of the content, which then just grow in height as you add more text (or they scale the contents if you resize from the corner):Stickies can not be nicely resizedAl they do is grow veritcally.I would like to simply be able to resize my stickies in a free manner and have the contents reflow at whatever font size I’ve selected (without resizing it for me), just like the shapes. Sure, in some cases I can just use shapes in place of stickies… but I shouldn’t have to.

In the “All teams” view, I want to be able to click on a user in the right column and see what projects they’ve updated or own.  I can do this for listed Admin users, but I cannot do this for others in the team now. WHY??  Admins are typically not the heaviest creators in the tool, so this change makes no sense to me.    I used to be able to see users in the right column with edit/create permissions in Figma, and could get a filtered view showing their work in the application.  That’s what I need -- and frankly depend on because Figma organization and findability is so challenging.  IT is TOO HARD to go into the left nav “Recents” item and dig for files that a user may or may not have shared with me.  This is a major loss in functionality for those trying to find work from a specific team member across a large team.  You’ve injected unnecessary steps into the workflow here, and I see no benefits to removing functionality that was working and forcing users into the “Recents” page to fil

If anyone else is annoyed with the new UI toolbar (toolbelt) being at the bottom of the screen instead of top - here’s CSS which puts it on top and shrinks it when not used: div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"] { bottom: auto; top: 12px; transition: all 0.25s ease; max-width: 300px; margin: auto !important;}div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"]:not(.positioned_design_toolbelt--root--INYO4:hover, :has([style*="display: contents"])) { bottom: auto; max-width: 46px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 8px; opacity: 0.2; }div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"]:not(div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"]:hover, :has([style*="display: contents"])) button { opacity: 0; transition: all 0.2s ease;}div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"] [data-keyboard-receiver]>*,div[class^="positioned_design_toolbelt--root"] [data-keyboard-receiver]>*>* { top: 50px; height: fit-content;}You can put this CSS with any browser

I’m not sure how else to describe this, but you almost need to have used Adobe XD, I think, to appreciate this. XD has (it’s not fully dead yet) smoothing and panning that is buttery smooth. If you haven’t experienced it, you may not understand what you’re missing. But boy, if Figma could match that, users would be amazed! It’s genuinely one of the things I absolutely loved most about XD.

Since it contains most of the information regarding what the selected layer actually contains, it should be flotable and size adjustable imo.

I can’t paste an image from Google Docs into Figma even though I can paste it into other apps.In Google Docs I either cmd-c or right-click, Copy.In Figma I cmd-v or right-click, Paste Here. Nothing happens.I can paste the image into other apps. I have successfully pasted the image into TextEdit, for example. I know Google Docs used to require workarounds to get images out. Despite confirming the image is available, I still can’t paste it into Figma.The native clipboard viewer on the Mac (finder, edit → show clipboard) can show images copied from elsewhere (e.g. Chrome right click, copy image) but also doesn’t show the Google Docs image. So it’s on the clipboard but in an unusual format. However it’s clearly available in some form or other apps wouldn’t be able to ingest the image when pasted there. It would be very helpful for Figma, which relies heavily on images, to explore if it’s possible to access Google Docs images from the clipboard.

It seems that I can’t share Devmode with a client or external resource even if they have a Pro account. The only option is if the client is part of the same team. This would mean that I will need to add any external resources to my team and handle their billing too.

Currently, Figma users can only left-justify text in a paragraph, which hinders print layout that requires a right-justified text alignment. It shouldn’t be a complicated feature build and would certainly help make Figma more layout-friendly.

Before, when changing color or stroke style, I was able to see changes while I was doing it. Now the element stays selected and restricts me to see what I am changing it to. Very uncomfortable, because I have to deselect it, see my result, then select it again and keep doing it until the final result

Hello, I got a problem while prototyping and I would be interested in your opinion about it. When you’re prototyping on a big project we all know that it becomes really difficult with all those lines connecting a component to another one. I usually use the prototype to test the interaction but what if when I find an error on the prototype? It becomes really difficult to understand which precise frame it is. So in the prototype preview, I think it would be great to have not (only) the screen number “12/56” but the name of that frame to make it easier to find in the page. I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this problem (maybe it’s just because I’m not using the right way to prototype?). Have anyone of you experienced this?

I find it very annoying and it’s almost a slap in the face when you continue to spend time on things like, “Figpal” when there’s plenty of stuff we’ve all been asking for that you have yet to touch. Many of us don’t care about AI and all this other fluff. We have real functions and fixes we’re waiting on.

In the old UI we could set an auto layout to Fixed height and provide a measurement separately. Now the measurement AND layout options (Hug etc.) are combined into a single dropdown. It took me over a minute to find the Hug contents option for an auto-layout that had a fixed size. Please don’t merge things for the sake of real estate alone.   

Hello, I have some feedback related to the UI3 library display. Visually it's pretty but the UX causes for additional clicks and a slowed down work flow. I’ve designed at 4 large corporate companies and these corporations (Allstate, United airlines, Walmart and Bath&body works) all have large libraries. It was so nice being able to have commonly used components expanded open so I could quickly grab and drop the components I need. Now in UI3 it requires me to have 2 extra clicks to go between components.  I would like to suggest that the new UI3 library UI be a type of view. Such as calling it “Preview view”. Allow users to still select the old accordion style grid view. This would be preferred for more senior level designers who want to move quickly and not have multiple unnecessary clicks.

I communicate back and forth with developers through comments in my figma file and when they reply to one of my comments I get an email notification but it doesn’t show me in the file directly which comments are new from last time. If I open the file up and want to see a birdseye view of which comments are new from the last time I looked, I can’t do that right now. I have to look through all of the comments and look for their first initial to see if they added anything new. This feature would save a lot of time in communication through comments.

When designing using an iPad or touchscreen device it takes a lot of taps to hit the delete button for an object. It would be great if the delete button was located in the context menu so I can long press to access the button. 

With the new Figma Slides i see something that is still happening: The PDFs exports is too much heavy. I know the whole thing is to present the presentations inside the Figma, but of course we will send this to people that is not familiar with the software or just want to keep the presentation in PDF with him. And it’s embarassing to, everytime i want to export some PDF, i have to use a plugin. Even few slides reaches like 30mb. It is in Beta, so i want to bring this problem to the case! I think Flides will be revolutionary.

UI2 has built over time muscle memory, users understand exactly where to go to utilize features and tools. Switching the position, shape or order of tools causes significant churn. I have tried UI3 multiple times in the past few months and see major changes being rolled back to where UI2 was initially. I almost always go back to UI2 as its still more functional personally.

I’m am trying to prototype a price increasing as you add something to your cart. I want the UI to show $0.00 to start, but when I go to make my starting number variable and type in 0.00 and hit enter it automatically changes it to just 0. So how I’m having to use a boolean to show/hide the .00. It would also be great if dollar signs could be included in numeric variables, so I don’t have to make separate text box for them.

It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

Hi, Figma team and community users!TLDRI’d like to gently suggest a feature to support color fonts 🤍🙏 Likes and comments help!---I’m Min building a color fonts at bake-ai.com/fonts, featuring quirky, creative, and trendy fonts that modern designers love.However, Figma doesn’t yet support color fonts (like sbix, colr, OpenSVG), while tools like Photoshop and Zeplin already do. Honestly, since Figma already renders emoji fonts, it feels like support for color fonts might be technically feasible?If there’s any reason this isn’t on the roadmap, I’d love to understand more—and if there’s anything I can contribute technically or design-wise to make this happen, I’m all in. + Also, if anyone reading this is curious, feel free to explore and try typing with color fonts directly at bake-ai.com/fonts! If you find it fun or useful, I’d be super grateful if you could leave a like or +1 comment to help this request gain some visibility.Thank you so much for building such a wonderful product. I us
