Hello, My iOS/Android engineers often ask me if a text should get an ellipsis or not. The question could be answered if the ellipsis property was displayed in the SwitfUI and Compose layer properties, in Dev Mode.  In this example I have an ellipsis with 1 max line, but it’s not displayed anywhere. Thanks for considering it,Théo 

Figma has stopped remembering the file sorting preference: It now always defaults to ‘Last Modified’ at the beginning of session, no matter what your choice was. Can we have it back?This is now default at the beginning of every sessionI am these days having to open this dropdown ‘Sort By’ → Alphabetical 30 times a day. Last modified does not work for us since it shows us whole new set of files every time because how many people work and edit files daily; Alphabetical works better for us since we use numerical naming and then every file is correctly displayed in the intended order of product importance (home, registration, features, etc)

Feature Request: Batch Individual Auto LayoutApply Auto Layout to multiple selected items as individual frames rather than grouping them into a single parent frame. Current Format: Pressing Shift + A or selecting "Add Auto Layout" with multiple items selected automatically nests all items into one new Auto Layout frame. Proposed Enhancement: Introduce a modifier key (e.g., Shift + Alt + A) or a toggle in the Auto Layout panel that allows users to "Apply individually." This would wrap each selected layer in its own independent Auto Layout frame simultaneously. Benefits: Massively speeds up workflow: Eliminates the need to manually wrap 10+ items one by one. Maintains Layer Hierarchy: Prevents accidental nesting and unnecessary "Frame 1, Frame 2" group structures

This is a small nit but please...i’m sure this was made for someone but can there be an option to make it so this button never appears? it adds an additional click, which is so annoying when i am trying to click between to components i am trying to compare the settings inside to. PLUS there is nothing below it! I’m all for whitespace but minimalism that adds work is worse. 

We just wrapped the big announcements at Config, and we know there’s a lot to take in.This thread is your space to share reactions, ask questions, and let us know what you're excited about (or still curious about) with regard to Figma Make. Our team will be actively reading and sharing relevant takeaways with the product team. What we’d love to hear from you:What aspects are you most excited about — and

Great to see the addition of dividers. Would really love the ability to add a name for each divider, because this still doesn’t solve the issue where we need to create an empty page titled “{Section Name}” to call out what the divider is actually dividing.

 While using Figma, I frequently switch between 2–3 high-frequency plugins. However, the current workflow is inefficient: each time I need to open the plugin panel (via the icon or shortcut), switch to the “Plugins/Widgets” tab, and search through the list to find the desired plugin.I would like to have a “pinned plugins” area that allows quick access to frequently used plugins directly within the workspace.Suggestions: Allow users to pin or favorite plugins Keep pinned plugins persistently visible in the workspace Optionally provide smart recommendations based on usage patterns The core need is to enable users to customize and fix their most-used plugins for faster and more efficient access. 

Right now, I’m loving slots. They’re great and exactly what I’ve been missing, but there is one quark that is causing me extra time.I’d love to be able to prescribe a child height/width behaviour for any elements that are added to the slot. I’d love to be able to say “I want any child added to this slot to have width property set to fill by default.”An example where this is annoying. Right now, anytime I drop a container in a slot in my modal component, the I have to prescribe the height/width behaviour for the container instead of it snapping into place in the available space. In Menus, every time I add a new menu item or a divider or a heading, I need to select them all and say their width should be set to “Fill”. Its a small thing, but it adds up over time.

I work for both desktop and mobile screens and I would like to save custom frame sizes and have them under a custom category. basic desktop sizes like 1366x768 is not available in the presets and the desktop category only has Mac screen devices as options.

This topic has been apparently discussed before, but i want to make a post to emphasize the importance of this issue. Detaching nested components inside components, breaks all overrides on the parent component instances. I claim this is a major problem, as it makes it really hard to migrate a design system to use properties instead of a vast amount of variants. As an example, i work in a large company, that a lot of materials in Figma. The design system has been initially created a vouple of years ago, and at that point, we had to rely a lot on component variants that very often utilize nested component instances. Now with the new Figma properties, and the apparently upcoming improvements on them, i could quite easily reduce the amount of variants by 80% in general, and make the components much more simple and foolproof. However it would require detaching a lot of the nested components, but it is practically imp

I love Figma, and it’s the first tool I open every day. Recently, I have been getting a figma session time out error every day. My teammates has reported the same. It’s making me login via Browser (SSO login) every single day for the past 2-3 weeks. It’s not been the most delightful way to start my day, as the first thing I do as a product designer is to open Figma. It use to just work. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you!

I work in a file that contains an Extended Collection (“{MyBrand A} | Design Tokens”) of a variable collection from another file (“Light | Design Tokens”) - the core file. We have multiple (n) Brands: meaning n files with Extended Collections.The text styles reference variables, and the text styles are also defined in the core file.In my example, the font style typography / block / regular / 0 originally has a font size of 12px, but in the Extended Collection it is changed to a 14px font size.Extended Collection showing, that the text style has a overwritten font-size of “14px” When I have texts that use the text styles, the text style(s) in the right panel still shows the original px value for the font sizes and line heights and not

This is a feature comment specifically for Slides, but I believe it applies to Figma and FigJam too. When I send a Slides presentation to a client, there is no way to hide my presenter notes or all the comments from me and my team. So before sending I have to be sure to delete all my presenter notes and comments which are only meant to be seen internally.I would love to not have to do this so I can keep internal comments and presenter notes for reference. Would be great if when sharing externally I can choose to hide comments and speaker notes so they can’t see them.

I recently started using Figma Sites. I love the freedom and virtually endless creative choices I can make. I also know that Figma Sites is still in Beta. However, I’d love to see improvements to CMS - categories, search function and so on. Thank you for making a product that’s easy to use and enjoyable to use. 

Despite several similar posts already existing on the forum, Figma still lacks a convenient way to export all files belonging to a Project or Team. I’m trying to move all my files from my personal Figma account to the new workspace set up by my employer (where everything should belong), and I’m currently using the `figma-export` CLI utility available on Github, but that doesn’t help me get around the 50-item rate limit, so now I’m stuck waiting 48 hours until I can download more unless I want to sit there and manually download each file one by one, which is an incredible waste of time. While this may not be something we need every day, when we do need it and it’s not available it’s incredibly frustrating. If you’re seeing this and have found yourself in a similar situation (or there is even the remote possibility that you might someday need to do the same thing), please upvote for awareness.

Hi Figma team,I'd like to request a per-account option to disable the AI sparkle (✦) icon that appears when hovering over elements in the editor.Currently, the only way to turn off Figma AI features is at the team admin level, which requires admin access and affects all team members. There's no way for an individual user to opt out of the AI hover trigger on their own account.For users who don't use Figma AI, this icon adds visual noise to the editing experience and can interfere with the workflow — especially when working with dense layers or small elements, where the sparkle icon overlaps with other controls.Requested behavior: add a toggle in user account preferences (e.g. Account Settings → Editor preferences) to show/hide the AI sparkle icon on hover, independently from team-level AI settings.Thank you for con

Hi, Would be nice to have quick access to the spacing variables for auto-layout when you click on space in between objects. Please see the screenshot for more details on what I meant 😃

At config 2025 Figma showed it’s here not just to disrupt the UI/UX space but go way beyond that (coming for Adobe). Now Figma is a step closer to dominating the design market but one of the things that is missing is a document publishing tool/mode (like dev/design) in which you can create things like portfolio’s, PDF documents, etc. It is already possible to create a document in design mode but unfortunately creating big documents, books, magazines, etc is just not great yet. It would be great if Figma added an InDesign like tool.

Would be awesome to support a Webp file when exporting images like Sketch. (without using any plug-ins)

 Overlay positions need per-side offset values — manual dragging breaks consistency across every screenAll 8 presets and the Manual position snap with zero spacing. There is no stored offset value — just a drag that has to be repeated on every screen.---THE PROBLEMWhen I use an overlay across multiple screens in a prototype, I pick a position preset from the dropdown. But the overlay snaps with zero spacing — no gap from the edge. So I manually drag it to add breathing room. That works for one screen. But the moment I duplicate that screen or add a new one, I have to manually nudge the overlay all over again.Every screen ends up with a slightly different overlay position. There's no way to guarantee the overlay sits exactly 24px from the top on screen 1, screen 5, and screen 12 — because that value lives nowhere. It's just a manual drag, repeated forever.This applie

Is this feature sensitive? i can't apply this feature by myself, only the manager can do? why has to be the manager can do? Is it release for all users in the future?

I’m not sure what update broke this feature. But normally when I want to open a file to work on it, I click the plus icon to open a new tab in the Figma app. And then I just start typing the name of the file I want to open. Because before, it used to automatically set focus to the search input field. Now it doesn’t do that any more. So, out of habit, I press the plus, start typing and then realize that nothing is happening. So I have to go click into the search field and then start typing again. Can you please reenable the auto-focus on the search field after clicking the plus to add a new tab? it is the most logical next action, in my opinion, when opening files.

something simple, trying to upload an image using the brainstorm template, where is the add image button?

Hello Figma Team! it’s really good idea if the annotation in dev mode can be move not only in right side off the screen. it will help our as a designer to annotated more note in different position 🙂 my this help designer in world wide not only me hahaha 🔥

I’m running into a frustrating issue with component property overrides resetting during prototyping. I have a side navigation system built with three main button styles: Primary: Standard button with icon toggles. Secondary: Includes a caret and triggers a nested menu. Nested: The sub-menu item. The Issue: Whenever I connect these via interactions (e.g., clicking a 'Secondary' button to show the 'Nested' menu), the custom overrides reset. Specifically: Icon Resets: If I change an icon on an instance, the interaction reverts it to the default component icon or resets the color. Content Resets: When the dropdown opens, the 'Nested' menu items revert to their default CTA text instead of the custom labels I’ve written in the design. State Logic:
