Please bring the floating panels BACK! why did you remove them??? based on unprofessional users??? at list give us the option to choose…

Our Figma user base is very large and is organized into the Workspaces. It would be helpful for the Workspace admins to be able to upgrade/downgrade seats within their workspace.

FigJam is currently pretty limited when it comes to architecture diagrams. We really need the ability, like other diagramming tools, to add customer connection points onto all shapes so that lines can attach in more than just 4 places.

Only horizontal text alignment is available. There’s no option to center the texts vertically inside a cell in a table

It would be really helpful to either display in description the file name for an image asset - even when exporting the png Figma is relabeling everything and making it incredibly difficult to track stock image source …

There are a lot of WONDERFUL features in Figma, including the new ones! It’s amazing! Lately, Figma has been slow. And getting slower. Bugs are more frequent. Even with a very small file (one page and a dozen screens) the file loads slow (not a huge issue), but the Prototyping is even slower. I have hover states on my buttons, and there’s about a 500ms delay for when they show up. I can’t run usability tests where it works that poorly. It would make most of my data useless. I tried various things to speed it up: Removing Hover States Removing Smart Animate Simply other aspects of variant-prototype interactions Still it’s slow. My impression is that, due to the lifecycle of Figma, we’re at the stage where feature bloat begins (have to have something new and sexy to make investors happy), features get locked behind different plans (like FigJam and Dev mode, but this one makes sense to me), and stability and speed suffers. I’m likely wrong as to the reasons (and definitely incomplete),

There’s discussion about making the toolbar moveable – sure that works but at least make the component and action menu more central in the meantime.

As someone who loves to use the old-school Component Variants, I often create components with multiple variant properties (sometimes more than 10). I sometimes create all of the variants of a component as frames, then select “Create component set” and organize my properties afterwards. My big problem with the current way that variants are handled is the following flow: There is something deeply disorienting about the popover covering my whole screen and asking for both a property name and the initial value. Even when I have a clear idea of what I want to do (e.g add a property called “Color” with variants “Dark” and “Light”), the mere visual of this popup often makes me forget what I wanted to type in the first place. I would love for this small interaction to go back to how it was in 2021, where the property gets added directly into the sidebar with default values (like “Property 1” and “Default”), with the ability to change the values afterwards. This would also make it a lot easie

Thanks for your response! I am totally fine with a new keyboard shortcut, I just was not able to find it documented anywhere visible so I probably wouldn’t have figured this out easily. I also suggest considering adding in a “link” icon in the comments pane next to the “add image” and “add mention” buttons, as outside of the shortcuts there isn’t a visible mechanic of adding a link. This might help newer users who are not familiar with the shortcuts.

When a component has a text property (e.g. Button property “label”) it would be great if when using the button you can set that text property to be a text variable. In the same way you can do so for variants

Provide the ability in prototypes to apply sticky functions to components when auto layout is applied in a prototype. Removing auto layout can make things messy especially when iterating on components that are in the prototype and heights change.

Currently it requires me to select a frame or whatever context and then inserting the component. This is pretty counter intuitive and even after working for years in Figma I can’t adopt it since it’s completely different that any other copy paste mechanism on the internet.

Hello my dear Figma UX team, It’s not an idea, it’s a fucking request. Fix zoom, so it’s possible to see whole page when you review design with whole team. This can be solved buy adding 75% zoom. Thank you fucking much. If this is not done, by next week, I will find and I will teach you proper UX. Best, Martins Pilskalns

Add a toggle to display the applied shadow to a component in the auto layout (primarily a nav bar). You currently have to remove the auto layout and move the layer to the top.

Is it possible to share Figma link when is it open overlay steps?

I constantly have to remove the dashed stroke styling that’s applied whenever a variant is created. I want a feature that allows me to disable this.

Would be great to drag an drop the menu items in a prefered specific order. For instance, I would like to move the “Color selection” above “Fill” item in the design panel, so that I don’t have to scroll every time I am selecting another already auto layout-ed element. Or, for a better use, maybe you keep the scroll location when you select another layer so that I don’t have to scroll down to the “Color selection” element.

Hello, in UI3 when I apply a style with Varibles in it, like a text style, in the “Appearence” panel it doesn’t show the icon to select a mode right away. You have to click away, and selecting again the element to make the icon appear, it would be nice to have the icon when you apply the style with variables in it

It would be really helpful to have an always visible button to publish changes to a library and update the changes in another file in stead of having to find it in the menu every time

UI2 had that tiny blue dot to indicate that there are library updates and a convenient button to open the library dialgo to do the updates. Now they are apparetly both gone and I needed them. Please add comparatable functionality to UI3.

Hi, Creating new components, especially creating a component set, is often used. I wonder why, these are not a part of the bottom floating menu bar, and also why there is no shortcut for it… (there is for creating a single component, but not for creating a component set or creating multiple components… at least not in my Figma UI.) As these are features I use a lot, it would be very helpful to have those too in the menu bar, and also have a shortcut for it. Currently, it’s hidden under 3 dots, which makes my user flow very slow. Besides that, it would be a crazy feature to be able to customize your bottom menu bar, and rather use it as a quick menu bar personalized to each user’s workflow. Like you can change the menu bar on your MacBook or any laptop. Greetings, Olivier

New design has a semi opaque effect on the app bar so sometimes appear like a gradient. Very fancy, very distracting.

Hi everyone When i’m using variable box, this box have flexible height. If i select a variable category with much variable, this box resize to max size and after that when i want to click on another category with less variable, suddenly box resize to min height and this height change is annoying. Please make fix variable box height and give resize option. Thanks

I am making components that change form by using local variables. I would like to use the “simplify instances” selection in the master component to make it nead and usable for others, but it hides by default the local variable modes from the instances. This is counterintuitive and unpractical in my opinion. In general i’d like to see the modes more prominent, just like the properties. (Also, right now the properties and variables are kind of an inconsistent split system of basically similar functions, and i’d like to see them more unified.)

Would love to have the eyedropper preview follow the cursor in some fashion. Procreate does this where the color that will be chosen shows at the top.
