Hello there,As a designer, I would like to play my video or GIF in the design file without having to preview a prototype. I think there are way too many clicks to just see what a motion graphic looks like in action. Overall, it would be awesome to see more video and GIF functions in the design file, including exporting like this thread below:   

I was thinking about this when a colleague ask if I saw him in the file. I was in another file that has similar prototypes and searching for him and didn't find him. Then, I realized that I was in the wrong file and started to look through the teams, projects, files, so I could find him.What if, there’s a invitation to file, where I send it to a person and they receive the invitation by the notifications menu, where they could accept or not.This could save a lot of time in meetings.

XD and InVision both had a dedicated grid view to view an entire flow, titled as static screens.Figma needs similar for a quick and orderly view of a flow. 

As a PM, I’m using Linear to write my specsI leverage the Linear Figma integration (Copy link to selection is integrated in Linear)I also do a lot of visual specs or focuses in order to illustrate my specsEvery time, I have to duplicate my parent frames in order to focus on a specific detail (if it overlaps across several frames) and insert them in a new one to clip the contentIt could be really great to have the ability to use slice for this (which seems to match my use-case in terms of focusing on parts of the design), and to be able to Copy link to selection to the Slice to leverage the Linear integration (or other tools) with easy refresh access

I want my prototype to fill the screen at any resolution, so I’ve set the “fill screen” option and hidden Figma ui. The problem is that there is always a margin around the frame no matter the window size. When I inspect the code in Chrome it looks like the responsible for those unwanted margins are these two lines: Is there a way to prevent Figma adding those margins?

The quality updates seems less frequent During the last events, no real improvement for the design pipeline were presented A significant decline in performance (I used to run way more complex projects without any issues on smaller configurations… )Also, when we take a look at the “Suggest a feature” section, we got plenty of pertinent ideas with tons of likes, comments and upvotes that seems to be ignored. Anyone else ?Thanks!

I’ve been looking for a solution to this for a while. There are certain components that I use that will always ignore auto-layout. Think tooltips, hover buttons, or cursors. I think it would be really helpful to have a way to set “ignore auto-layout” by default on those components so that when inserted, they could live inside a frame and I wouldn’t have to click on “ignore auto-layout” each time.

I’d love to request a feature enhancement to the branch feature under org/enterprise license. current workflowwork in branch click update from main only see high level changes  click apply proposalwork in branch click update from main see high level change click into high level change to see actual diff  click apply  or fix in main  user needwhen apply changes from main, it is hard to know the detailed changed on a frame, esp. when this is an updated from a different team member achieved with a different branch on high level previews, when the change seems to be a mistake, it is hard to know where in the main file should we fix it

When working with colors in the variable selection window, it’s not always easy to remember their exact values, especially when managing multiple projects and frequently switching between them. This complicates the process, as you often need to open the variable menu just to check which color is being used. I propose a simple solution: displaying the HEX code alongside the variable name. This would allow users to see the exact color value immediately, without extra steps. This improvement is particularly useful when working with shades and tints, where it’s difficult to determine the precise color just by looking at it. In my opinion, this change would greatly simplify navigation and speed up color management in projects. 

The buttons are too close together, and I often accidentally click on the AI feature instead of the manual rename option.Maybe renaming it to “Rename layers by AI” would help. The “AI beta” label isn’t noticeable enough to distinguish between the buttons.

We need more languages and fonts to be supported in FigJam. 

When creating a presentation, our team tends to have mini brainstorming sessions or retrieve useful information from different presentations or design files.We do this by pasting frames, images, text, or any kind of material, freely in the canvas as a reference for new slides.The problem is when pasting 1 or several 1920x1080 frames (same size as a slide) it automatically converts them to a slide (great for most cases, but restrictive otherwise). This means it is forced to align to a row and behave as an slide, when we just want it to have it there “floating” around for a while as we are working on ideas and polishing things up. At the end we create a new version and delete these references so we can have a clean file. I was wishing for the ability to convert a slide into “just a frame” (this means it wouldn’t be displayed in slide view or presentation mode). And maybe a special paste function that ignores slide conversion would be nice.And now that we’re here, I would also include a h

When you select a component that hasn’t been published yet, this button is displayed: But whenever you select two components or more, you can’t publish anymore with this method. You have to go through the typical flow of opening Assets, scrolling through all your components to find what you want to publish, etc. I’m often publishing a few components at the same time because they are part of the same update. I’d love if the “Publish changes” would stay when having multiple components selected. Thanks!

The fact that the content cannot be read is a huge UX issue. There is no way as of now to make it readable. This becomes a problem when your variables all start with the same words.  

Our team here at Glassdoor noticed when using the Summarize feature in AI beta that it doesn’t seem to take into account frequency. Because of this missing element, we can’t rely on it to do a great job at affinity mapping with the aspect of how often something was mentioned, for example, in a brainstorm. Has anyone found a workaround for this, or is there a way to submit this product feedback?

Hey there! Is it possible to make a slide in a Figma Slide Deck file non-clickable i.e. not leading to the next slide on-click?The only option I’ve come up with is to place a huge text linked to this same slide, the problem is when clicked it starts to reload the whole presentation 

I spend a lot of time copy-pasting text from google docs or word docs, then going through and pasting it into different artboards or text boxes to lay it out. I would love to see an option to paste a large block of text and have Figma give the option to separate paragraphs in different text boxes. An additional option could be to detect styling from other applications and offer to separate the text by style (e.g. header 1, header 2, header 3, body/normal, etc). Finally, the option to contain it all in an auto layout would be great.This could save me a ton of time that I could be using designing instead of switching between apps and copy-pasting.

Two new figma updates i’d love to see:Figma to add a way in the left rail where you can CHOOSE to expand main layers independent from sublayers. Currently you can only expand all, or collapse all.  For there to be a way to find and/or select all hidden layers at once.

Please organize the exposed nested instances better. Having every nested instance expanded and not grouped by parent instance is so difficult to parse through. these nested instances repeat for each card in the carousel. please group them by card with a clear header not just a dropdown chevron. 

As a lead designer of a growing product, I want to make sure my cured designs are hard to leak.The logic of the designs, carefully reviewed by stakeholders of all sorts, should be protected from easy copying. Some engineering might help alert users about their exports being noticed.1) Restrict screenshots;2) Have a list of users who’ve used [Cmd+Shift+C] to track every export move;What are your thoughts on this? 

Hello! I wanted to report a problem with the text component The component works great in all languages, but I noticed that in the Hebrew language (and probably also in Arabic) the order of the letters is reversed This is a well-known problem in Hebrew because it needs RTL support .redro esrever ni nettirw si txet elohw eht taht si ti gnitartsurf woh kniht tsuJ (Just think how frustrating it is that the whole text is written in reverse.) Another important thing to note is that we (speakers of RTL languages) are very aware of this problem, but designers who do not speak these languages ​​often encounter this problem without noticing. For example, even in the familiar game - Brawl Stars (They corrected this after the post was published) and many others have problems with the Hebrew text displayed in the screenshots of the game in Google play For the developers of Figma- I found great documentation for the implementation of RTL in SVG: Creating SVG Tiny Pages in Arabic, Hebrew and other

I would love to have some basic editing functionality on the iOS and Android App! For example to have at least some text editing options in the app instead of just being able to create comments. It would be super usefull in my FigJam files. The Microsoft Whiteboard app is a good example, but i’d love to use FigJam on my phone :)

Feature Suggestion:Enable users to select one or multiple text components in Figma and auto-fill them with numbers, words, dates, or randomized placeholders. Users can choose from data types such as sequential or random numbers, lorem ipsum text, predefined word lists, or dynamic values like today’s date. This feature would streamline the process of populating mock designs, forms, or dashboards with realistic placeholder data, saving time, improving consistency, and enhancing prototyping efficiency. I know it could save me a a lot of time!

I have jumped from Xd to Figma 2 years ago and it is so frustrating when you are working with many layers. When you select a frame that is directly on the canvas, why would i need to see all frames on the side panel when I am working on one. I want to see all the layers only when I click tha canvas. I have frames with thousands of layers inside and it gets really messy. And no, do not suggest to add new pages because that is not a solution.
