I am able to create a table using the grid auto-layout option. but I’m not able to reorder the columns or rows. It would be a great feature.

Need something like this plug-in  to be supported natively. Exports AVIF and allows default presets to be configured with preferred compression and scaling.

HiJust wanted to give a general UI Pro feedback.I work with design software for more than 20 years. I adapt very quickly to new options and I consider myself very selective with what I work with. Working with Adobe since the beginning, I added Figma to the toolset a couple of years ago.I have a mix of the best tools (for me) for my line of work: Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects, Bricks Builder, Audition, VS Code, Dreamweaver (stopped using it after nonsense updates) and Figma. I consider myself an advanced user in all of them.This is not to grab myself, it's just to accentuate the fact that I have a strong working instinct and experience with these kind of tools. What they all have in common is the fact that they are built for professionals: optimized for productivity and with a consistent and customizable UI. And that's also the fact they last for so long. Figma appeared in a middle ground. It had a not so professional UI but it had new features and some obvious functio

Hi I’ve got a “big canvas” habit in Figjam mapping out new project ideas and working through problems.  It would be handy to be able to add fix navigation points in my canvas that I can jump between when talking to a new customer to share my ideas - currently having to do a lot of zooming in and out to find the right spot.Interest if this could be added to the roadmap or whether I’ve missed an existing feature?

I can’t figure out how to do this, looks like it might be supported. This keeps the feature from being more usable for me because I need to be able to hand-off some assets as some kind of editable vector image that clients can download and open up on their own programs for any needed touch ups.

When I select an element in a component or component set to add a boolean property, Figma displays a modal window showing the list of available properties. But boolean properties with long names are truncated without any option to disclose the full name.Please Figma should provide a resize capability or tooltip option for the modal to make it more accessible.  

Description:I would like the ability to create variables directly from a selected component in the canvas or assets panel.  Current Behavior:Currently, to create a variable that references a component, I must manually set it up in the Variables panel, which involves multiple steps and disconnects the workflow from the component itself. Proposed Solution:Enable a right-click option on any component (or an option in the top bar) to “Create Variable from Component.” This would automatically populate the variable name and link the component instance as the value. Benefits: Speeds up design system setup Improves discoverability and adoption of variables Enables more modular and scalable design tokens

When placing a component (close-button on a pop-up for example) it would be great that the X and Y are relative to the side it’s aligned to. Right now it's always to the LEFT and TOP. If I align it to top/right and then want to have it for example 8px from each side, it would be great to be able to enter X = 8 and Y = 8, would also be great if its possible to use variables in these entries as well. 

It would be a real blessing for both developers and designers if Figma supported downloading all file types, including GIFs and videos.

build dashboards almost always ends up with designing tables ,Tables are really tricky in figma you can build atoms but once you want to build rows or columns you have a problem , Columns based organism - allows to add more columns on the fly but fails in prototyping Row based organism - allows creating row components and interactions but fails when wanting to add more columns that is why i suggest building a Table Grid - this will allow users to create both row interactions and add columns - so adding another header updates all the grid .a table grid can also have presets for data types , changing from left to right based on type and numbers .this could greatly improve efficiency in Figma .

I was genuinely excited about this new feature, not just because it helps reduce the double dipping on seat pricing, but because it seemed like a much simpler way to collaborate with external teams and clients who have their own Figma accounts.Unfortunately, the current limitations around the very minimal number of connections make it feel fairly useless, especially for a small agency like ours that work with multiple different teams every day. I had hoped this would be similar to Slack’s connection feature.More importantly, the feature still feels underdeveloped. Our team typically sets up two folders per client: 1 internal for exploration and iteration, and 1 external for sharing polished work. We were hoping the connected projects feature could replace our external folder and streamline collaboration. But when we tested it by adding a completed website and design system to a connected project for the client’s team to use, we quickly ran into an issue. Our team couldn’t access the de

Most of the time when I use the shortcut (Ctrl + A), my hand accidentally hits the Q key on the keyboard, causing Figma to close suddenly without any warning or alert.I suggest:Changing the shortcut from (Ctrl + Q) to (Ctrl + Shift + Q).

The changes made to the transparency in the seat approval settings are very welcome.Without the 'Manual approve seat if available' and 'What is included' options, I paid for unintended seats several times in the past. This makes controlling costs much easier. Thank you for listening to the feedback.  

I always want to create an IA before designing, but its such a chore. I end up using a bulleted list (with indents to show hierarchy). I want to be able to copy-paste my list into FigJam and have it automatically generate an IA for me

Why don’t Figma developers just keep community link in the top tabs?

Could you please add a new method that returns a Promise?setValueForModeAsync(modeId: string, newValue: VariableValue): Promise<void>I’m working with hundreds of variables applied across complex layers in my plugin, so applying changes can take some time, and the next modification in the queue might already be out of date when it finishes. Being able to await each change would ensure they finish before the next step.Thanks for considering!

hi please add " add and remove nodes in curve hansdrawes"i have a lot problems with the edit object part 

We create a lot of mocks using Figma. These mocks may contain a lot of UI elements that require labels/tooltips. If Figma can automatically suggest labels/tooltips using AI it would be great.

Usability problem. Could we get rid of the 'Show more properties' button and show properties always open, please? It's very annoying to have to click it open every time. Or provide user preferences. 

Usability problem. Could the 'State' section be set to be open by default, please? It's vey annoying to have to click it open every time. Or provide user preferences.  

Hello, I'm a designer using Figma for over 6 years. These days I'm writing codes as wellI want have a function of Auto Layout.In Swift coding, we got HStack, VStack, ZStack and GridSometime I want to create a button with a background which can Scale with the sizes of button.If I filled to the top - Layout of the button it’s done. but sometime I want it can be hided as a switch in component properties, It;s hard to do so.Also in some Popup design, I want to add something like  exit icons which is not followed the whole frame, the only way I could do this is to make it position absolute.So my idea and suggest about auto layout is that. If I could have a function like ZStack. It can helps the element inside Fill container and also, it can have the Layers for different parts. It’s a little bit hard to describe but thank you for your reading

Our design system in Figma often involves iterative refinement, leading to the identification of redundant variables (colors, etc.). These unnecessary variables are often duplicates of existing ones, linked to the same foundational variable library. To improve the organization and maintainability of our design system, we require a more efficient way to remove these redundant variables.Currently, deleting a variable that is in use by multiple objects and elements within our designs is a cumbersome and potentially error-prone process. We propose a new feature: when a user attempts to delete a variable, Figma should present a prompt asking which existing variable they would like to substitute for the one being deleted.This functionality would allow designers to seamlessly replace the usage of the obsolete variable with a chosen, equivalent variable across all instances where it is currently applied. This would significantly streamline the process of cleaning up our variable library, ensur

Limiting Design system theming and APIs to Enterprise creates a huge hurdle for someone who may be a solo-preneur and wants to develop for mobile, web, and IoT. This would be a game changer for automated pipelines. 

Similar to how we have dev mode, design mode, and now draw mode in Figma Design, can we get separate modes for prototypes? DesignersCreate the prototypes Need to see hotspots on click Share internally to PM and Eng EngineersWant a more guided experience, there to see the interaction and flows without much self-discovery Perhaps a Split View of dev mode designs and prototype side-by-side ResearchersShare prototypes externally Limited extra UI, design-only. Less for participants to get distracted Sharing options such as password, expiring links, share specific flow links No hotspots A lot of this is available today, albeit not in different modes. Which leads to designers having to walk eng and researchers how to find and use these features. Different modes tailored to each user could help us have more of a self-service UI.

The new auto layout design seems unintuitive now that gap and alignment placement has been switched (alignment left, gap right). We would be far more likely to ‘set and forget’ the alignment, but often do tinker with spacing and gaps in auto layout. Every time I intuitively reach to edit gap in auto layout, I have to scan and mouse over alignment, something that just doesn't need to be in the way. Gap and alignment should be swapped back to what it was (alignment right, gap left). Anyone else experiencing this friction?Otherwise, this auto layout update is a wonderful and welcome change!
