In Figjam it would be nice if Text on creation keeps the previous you selected (just like how the marker keeps the same color you select for each marking you do).Currently, Text color reverts back to the default color every time you add text. So it’s a bit tedious to have to constantly keep changing the color every time I add text especially since I like to take color coded notes. This feature would be nice.

Just wondering if we could get a options under preferences to invert the behavior of right and left click.Where → Left Click dragsAnd →  Right Click selects The ability to customize keyboard shortcuts would be +1 in general.Thank you. 

On many occasions, I need to copy screens as PNGs from the Present mode of my prototype, so that I can put them in my slide decks. Figma does not allow any export functionality in Present mode. My only workaround is to take screenshots, crop them and use in my slides. It would be great if Figma can support this feature.  

I wonder if this is in the roadmap for the variable feature. It would be super useful to have a new variable type that allows us to set a different graphic asset per mode. Some cases here: Company logo on whitelabels. Swapping theme would also swap the logo Platform related assets, like icons for android and iOS Platform related components: for example Android Top Navigation and iOS Top Navigation Does it make sense?

Place guides in exact positions and ability to copy-paste guides from specific positions within a frame and paste them into the same positions in another frame.

as subject. it is very inconvenient.

For the love for all of the Gods, just put some safeguard to this functionality.I’m using it often to generate a versioned links to give a context to a client what was the current stage of the project.Problem:Delete is near the copy link and countless of times, when in the rush, I’ve just clicked Delete instead of the copy. Which is resulting in all links to generated so far are just became invalid…New created version, even with exact same title and description just have a different ID so i need to generate all the links again and it’s just outrageous…Solution:Just put a pop-up to confirm deleting the info and it will be all fine or a possibility to undo the action or an option to restore the deleted one please, anything, please.

It would be helpful if Admins could purchase plugin licenses and assign them to users as needed.WhyAdmin would not have to chase expense reports for every users each month nor have to share credit cards and expend hawk like vigilance on the monthly credit card receipts in case a plugin kept being payed for while nobody used it.Howthe same way you currently allow plugins and we could have a check box to add payment of the plugin to the main Figma billing. The payment API could also have an opt-in to allow creators to give a batch discount on multiple licenses.

I use slots a lot, and I also keep component names short and generic, and rely on section names as unique identifiers. One downside is that sometimes I’m searching for “slot” to replace “slot” and it’s a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice to add “In this section” or something like that. 

I love using Figma for my slide decks but I miss having my notes while in presentation mode. If I could have similar functionality I would adopt Figma as my slide deck tool 100%!

  Why is this dropdown so narrow?? I’m given 10 letters to distinguish my component variant names from each other?? And then it’s truncated? Get it together!  

Do you have a “concept of a plan” how to handle this situation? 😶https://noyb.eu/en/us-cloud-soon-illegal-trump-punches-first-hole-eu-us-data-dealIf not, then unfortunately we will have to look for other solutions. I need a possible solution for the use case “What if...”. Switching completely to Enterprise is not enough as a current solution. 

I wanted to highlight a crucial feature missing in Figma that would greatly enhance our design workflow. Unlike Adobe XD, Figma currently lacks support for DotLottie and JSON animation files. Given Figma’s web-based focus, integrating these formats would significantly improve our ability to create dynamic and interactive web content directly within Figma. This feature is not just a convenience but a necessity for staying competitive and meeting the evolving demands of modern web design. I kindly request your team to consider implementing support for DotLottie and JSON animations in future updates.

Over and over and over again:select a few things at once SHIFT+A to autolayout change autolayout orientation to L→R OOPS all the children’s widths are screwed up now undo, select every child, update width to “fixed” or “hug” as appropriate change autolayout orientation to L→RAnything that auto-updates children/parents is a problem, but I do understand why SOMETIMES it makes sense or is necessary. This is neither and is maddening!

It used to be that when you were pulling noodles to create interactions, you’d see the choices for states in the interaction panel. Since the last big update several months ago, those controls have been hidden under a toggle/accordion in the panel. I find this to be a huge productivity annoyance that I have to do an extra click to select “reset scroll” or “reset component state,” or to check at a later time, if that particular noodle has those options selected.  Please, please, please change it back to being visible by default or put an option in Preferences, so Figma users can set the view to their preference.  Does anyone else feel the same way?   

Elements currently don’t stick to bottom in overlays. Cannot see the sticky bottom element unless it is placed in view port, creates confusion within clients or for those who plays prototype in different resolutions.

Hello Comunity ✋i think we need a feature to insert component inside a text or paragtaph. it’s because i was designing a banner and face issue to make it responsive. image of two artboard with different banner layout. as you can see i want to have left artboartd but i can’t do it.i checked all possible ways, but we need a feature too allow us to add a component inside paragraph.

it will work nice to icons without need to outline strokes and keep original icons editable.

Hi! Sharing some notes from a couple of rounds of accessibility testing we did on our Figma Slides newsletter back in September 2024.Issues with video functionality Screen magnification user - Video plays automatically when user navigates to slide - When media must play automatically, the user should be able to immediately stop playback with simple commands. WCAG 2.1 2.2.2: Pause, Stop, Hide Participant using Dragan Naturally could not play video on slide Issues with elements that are only disclosed on hover (left-right slide navgiation) Dragan doesn't work well with elements that are only disclosed on hover Dragan user not sure what slide they are on Overall, Dragan user recommended a different format for the newsletter since they had a number of challenges navigating

Can Figma come up with a way to re-Parent Components moved to Design File so that all the components in the said file can be pointed to the Design File?

There is possibility to do only URL links to selected text. Could be useful create interactions also into selected text only Instead whole text frame. Do you know any way to do this?

Use Case: I have color primitives and semantics in one collection called colors. Id like to move semantics out of that collection and into a new collection called color semantics. BUT what happens currently is you can copy and paste it, but it breaks the link with the (?) for every variable that was previously connected… So copying and pasting does not work. Id like the option to move or rearrange variables in and out of collections with keeping that same variable linked in my other variables downstream. 

Commenting Shortcomings: Lack of Context & History Comments are tied to specific parts of the design but don’t provide a broader historical view of the feedback or decisions. If you resolve a comment, it’s gone from the visible interface, which makes it hard to track why decisions were made. Comments are always in a closed state. There needs to be an option to toggle between show latest comment/show collapsed/show none. Limited Status Tracking: Comments only have “Done” as a status, so you can’t track progress on individual items (e.g., “In Progress,” “Needs Discussion”). Need the ability to write custom statuses with custom colors You can’t categorize or add metadata to comments (e.g., “low-priority” vs. “critical” feedback), which would help prioritize responses. Hard to Find Unread/Unresolved Comments: Comments get lost in larger files with many pages and frames.​​​​​​​ You can’t easily filter comments by person, frame, or status. If someone tags multiple people or

Hi,I'm currently very actively trying to incorporate variables and conditions into our project and doing a lot of cool stuff (I'm sure some of it is truly unique). However, all my ideas hit a wall because it's impossible to bind variables to specific objects only. Since the variables are global, I can't use my unique dropdowns or inputs because I can't make them as flexible and manageable as components with variants.If you could make it possible to manage variables more flexibly, it would significantly help in prototyping unconventional things. As an example of what I mean, I'd suggest taking a look at my currency dropdown and inputs fields.
