The new feature of copy and pasting variables over to new collections is a great addition, however its not currently usable. One major improvement that needs to happen— when pasting into the new collection the order of the variables is completely messed up, it should retain the organization from the original list. Also better yet it would be immensely helpful to just have a duplicate collection option. Thanks for all your hard work Figma team.

As a product manager, I often comment on a design file, I would like to have an option to label the comment with priority - critical, high, medium, low or 1-5, so the product designer will know what to focus on first. Furthermore: Each priority color/icon should be really clear on first look over all comments to help open the most important comments. The notifications section should allow sorting the comments by priority. Also, labeling the comments could help for versions division - adding “next version” tag / “current version” tag, or in general, costume tags that match the team internal process.

 I made the gif and wanted that to be blurred slightly, but after i apply blur all the text added which is also getting blurred either that should be controllable with sent to back/bring front options or if there is layer option where we can organize object in the layers To control the objects visibility & make the editing easy we need the selection control bar      

The Ui in figma is easy, the project files and folders is simple, navigating is simple.Yet an account person I’ve worked with can’t seem to ever find the current page. Sending a new link doesn’t kick her into the current page, she’s still in the page she dug out of the archives. I’d be fine with this and understand and be patient with her EXCEPT she is complaining about all the links, asking me for links each time she wants to get in and is pointing the finger at figma like it’s figmas problem. We are only circulating two files guys…I try to get her to highlight my person, it’s like..leading horse to water...Give me the capability to grab my coworkers cursor and place them in the correct page PUH LEEZE. I’m loosing my mind. I will settle for a pop up invitation that takes over her screen and gives her the option to “Follow The Person Who Knows What they’re Doing”

it would be so incredibly helpful if i could open up nested canvases right inline as i’m working on a design.so for example, i’m working on a screen with a component stored somewhere else (like way off to the side on that same canvas or in a diff page in the same file or even in a separate design system file) and then be able to press a button to open the main component in a nested (or “popup”) canvas so i can edit it, then close the nested window and continue working on the main design. this would help me to not break context and stay in my flow.would also be very cool if i could create instances of those nested canvases manually too. if i could define a happy path series of screens and then underneath them create a button/link/something that opens an “error states” nested canvas, then i could keep the main design clean & clear and still allow people to jump into details without leaving the current context. this would also really help me as i’m designing to have a separate space t

I typically choose multiple properties, but I have to keep clicking open the dropdown. TONNNNNNS of clicks.

I wanna present the prototype like slides. It will be benefit to have the title on top and differentiate subtle interaction on screen. Sometimes I get lost and need to go back to design mode.

Please add the auto page number function. I’ve been expecting this before Figma slides 🙂

We use Fig Jam for user research analysis and there are only 9 colors of stickies so it limits us to how we can use them.  We should be able to customize the colors of the sticky notes, or at least have more colors!

When I share my screen - I don’t want my customers see the NDA projects and teams I work with. Here’s my solution:

Please enable playing of videos in design mode and dev mode, not just prototype mode. As a designer, I want to be able to include videos that viewers may play, So that my viewers/designers/devs may better understand what I have designed. As a dev, I want to be able to include videos that viewers may play, So that my viewers/designers/devs may better understand my thoughts visually Better still, I can then link videos to take people on a narrated tour of my design. Currently, videos do not play inline on the design, but need to pop up in a preview modal. Not great UX from a UX platform. Check out Miro Talktrack for inspiration: Create a Talktrack in Miro

The Missing Fonts replacement tool that becomes available when you are missing a font in Figma is really useful. Why not make it available all the time for any and all font replacement?Could be an easy feature to add since the tool already exists.

I would like to have the mirror feature be locked to a specific frame so that i’m able to see direct changes on the device of choice. What happens today; I select a frame that i want to view, go to edit another frame ( this could be a component ) and mirror switches aautomatically. All i want is a way to hold the focus on the one frame until i say so. It would make life so much easier especially during meetings where changes are requested on the spot and the test device will then switch between too many different items which ends up distracting the stake holders. So much pain! Thanks.

I love that Figma keeps evolving, but I wouldn’t be here if I’d love all changes ;)Recently this changed: When in the tablet-app in a prototype and want to change between flows or want to restart a prototype it takes more clicks. First I have to double touch to open a header and then I need to open submenu’s for one or the other.If I want to change the flow I have to click on some arrows pointing right.. which opens a slide-up somewhere below; I’d expect it to be on the right if the arrows point right. So it takes me a bit longer to find where to select the desired flow.Basically, I have to click more and I have to search where a menu may open. It used to work intuitive and quick, but now it changed (which takes effort to learn the new way) and I see no real win.Am I the picky one or do more people prefer the old two-finger-opens-bottom-menu-with-restart-prototype-right-there-menu? 

I usually have 3-4 Figma documents open and it would be super helpful to have a quick indicator as to which documents have new comments in them. The toolbar’s comment tool icon has the red dot indicator which is great, but having it in the tab itself would be even more useful.

Add it as a toggle here, so you don’t need to go trough the Assets panel and right click on the component. 

Is there a way to set default settings to newly created projects? Most of the time I use Figma to create desktop webdesigns, so I’d like to have my prototype to have a custom size device (1920x1080) and a different background color. And perhaps have a predefined grid.

So I am going nuts in the new UI when using the shortcut “k” for resizing objects. My muscle memory knows that “k” > tab would get me to resize using pixel increments. Now that leads me to positioning. I dont see why this order has been changed - this is one of my main quirks with the new UI apart from the floating action bar, but is another story. 

This functionality exists in Photoshop and it's pretty useful, especially for those of us that use a tablet and pen instead of a mouse on a daily basis.Having to do the keyboard shortcut to zoom in and out gets repetitive very quickly. Simply holding the “Z” and left click up/down or right/left to zoom would be huge

Hi, Shortcuts are great but not enough. I’d like to share an idea for improving the editing experience in Figma.This concept is inspired by Windows Explorer. When you press Alt + Space, a context menu appears, and some shortcuts are underlined for quick access: A similar approach could be implemented in Figma. For instance, pressing Alt (or Option on Mac) could underline available shortcuts, like this: This would provide a more intuitive navigation experience and reduce the learning curve for users.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!Best regards,

Steps to reproduce Click to add an “Open overlay” interaction. Two options will be shown: Close when clicking outside Add background behind overlay (see screenshot in the end) Existing functionality: “Add background” only has the option to add a color. Desired functionality: “Add background” also allows to add a blur effect to the layer on the background. Possible workaround Suppose Frame1 contains the overlay content Put Frame1 inside Frame0 Resize Frame0 to take the full size of the screen Make it so that “Open overlay” targets Frame0 instead of Frame1 Manually position Frame1 (the overlay content) inside Frame0 (the overlay) Add the desired background color and blur to Frame0 Problems with workaround The “Close when clicking outside” functionality is lost since Frame0 takes up the whole screen. Manually adding an on-click “Close overlay” interaction to Frame0 would not work as intended. This is because the entire Frame0 would respond to the click, not just the part

It would be great to have a way to store a ‘File’ or link to a file directly in the file system. This way, when organizing projects you can place a  Figma ‘File’ into a folder that would link directly link to a Figma project. This would enable ‘storing’ files in a standard workflow. This way, we say “You will find all project files in the project folder” 

Our team would like a feature where we can add a title to the layers panel without that title being an actual page a designer can click into. Is there a feature that exists like this already? In the screenshot I’ve attached you see where “components” page is? We don’t want that to be a page but rather just a title that a person cannot click into. Please let me know if more clarification is needed.

Just as there were requests for horizontal scrollability of the left menu, and the somewhat expandable right pane of tools. I need the libraries pane that appears while applying colors and such to be expandable or horizontally scrollable - or at the very least, hovering shows me the full name, like in the main tool pane to it’s right.In my use case, I’m creating a design system, and the naming conventions of those can become relatively long and the most specific detail in the name is at the end (e.g., hover, focus, default, etc)(Unless someone knows a way to see this)An image showing the problem:  

Current music is repeating. I get boring after listening in 30 minutes and open some lo-fi hip hop stream. Really want to use FigJam music. Please, add more tracks or direct audio stream from SOME lo-fi music stream. Sincerely, Mikhail.
