Share Your Thoughts

Hello, So of course I’ve been using the feature for some time (like 3 years ; ) but today it struck me… when I have a huge Figma file with different things and one of the things is a prototype with its own flow of connections and I share it in prototype view - can the person also open it without prototype view and see what’s beyond the prototype? It struck me because I wanted to share one of the frames and I opened the link in an incognito browser window and I could see EVERYTHING. I did it in prototype view and I can see only this one frame. HOWEVER, when I see everything in my Figma and I click share, then it shows all the people that I had shared the initial prototype with… so it kind of mixes those ideas? Can anyone help me understand: I play a prototype, share it either with a link or invitation - the person can only see the prototype view and frames that are part of the prototype? I take a frame in prototype view - it behaves as above, just this one frame is visible? I am in Fig

I don’t see a way to modify the embedded Figma prototype link once added to Slides. I am looking in the toolbar when selecting this Embed object but don’t see settings. It would be nice if there was a URL field to paste in a diff one and work more quickly (maybe it auto refreshes then) or a button. Check out how Maze dot co (app) is integrated with Figma links and you have more tools to edit your prototype settings right within Maze.

Google Slides has a nice feature where you can look through and then restore previous versions of your presentation. Very handy for accidental changes, or working with groups and things getting lost or overwritten.

The left panel is always fighting for space with pages and layers, and now with the new UI, there’s even less… What’s the point of a vertical column, where space is at a premium, wasting so much for the Figma icon and file name when they could be side by side like below.

You can do this on desktop (see screenshot). I can’t seem to figure out how to do this on the iPad app.

When boards are old and haven’t been visited in over 3 months, make it so the stickies start to curl and fall off like the leaves of a tree in autumn. This will encourage users to maintain their files and bring more of a realistic skeuomorphism to the experience.

When I set a navigation with the “back” function, It would be nice if I could choose between 2 options: go back to previous page go back to previous “page group” I think this would be helpful to avoid being stuck in loops, or non intended back navigations. “Back” is such a useful functionality because it makes the prototype more clean and with less interactions, but many times it doesn’t work as intended. Don’t know if this is the best solution for this problem, but that’s an option.

Current Behavior Selecting multiple instances of the same component allows changing the same property across all instances: As soon as that same selection is put into a group or frame, the shared properties are lost: Nesting these components in another component allows exposing properties, but only from each nested component instance individually, not collectively: Requested Behavior In the case of groups or frames that contain only instances of the same component, I would like the properties to be displayed the same way as they are in the multiselect case, like this: When exposing properties of nested components, I would like the option of exposing the properties of a type of nested component (which would apply to all components of that type) in addition to the current behavior of exposing an individual instance’s properties. Something like this: If there are multiple types of components nested, each type could be exposed either as a group or individually, like so: Thanks for

This is a really small thing but the amount of time I’m trying to paste text into a design/component without styles attached, vs with them, is vast. Could we get a menu option to swap the shortcuts for these two actions?

I like that toggling design mode on gets you more styling and features but it’s lacking a lot of features that would be great. One example is selecting an object and just converting to a component, maybe adding some states or frames to turn it into an animation and quickly save and use all while staying in Slides > Design Mode.

Then I would be able to adjust the export settings to reduce the size of the PDF.

As an Admin, I want the ability to set an End Date for Edit Access for temporary users, contract workers, and freelancers.

For big projects where many designs are placed under one tab it will be useful to have an ability to open a copy of an already opened tab and switch between tabs to work on a different parts of the same project in parallel.

Please make it possible to apply colors to a layer’s fill or stroke by dragging variables from the Variables window or styles from the Design panel onto the layer. This will make it much quicker and easier to find and identify the desired variable or style and then use it to colorize a layer than having to remember a name of a style or variable and then search for it using a tiny popup menu that only shows a max of 10 rows.

Ability to see different font size when selecting a bunch of words with different sizes instead of seeing ‘mixed’. Able to merge the different text sizes into the selected one

“Focus Mode” could be a new feature in Figma that allows designers to work without the distraction of others inspecting their work in real-time. When activated, this mode will prevent others from seeing live changes and inspecting elements on the designer’s screen, providing a private workspace similar to locking a document. Key Features: Activation Toggle: A simple toggle button in the Figma UI to turn Focus Mode on and off. Visual Indicator: A subtle visual cue (like a small icon or a colored border) indicating Focus Mode is active, visible only to the designer. Restricted Inspection: While in Focus Mode, other collaborators cannot inspect elements or see live changes. They will see a static view of the file before Focus Mode was activated. Notification System: When Focus Mode is activated, collaborators receive a notification explaining that the designer is in Focus Mode and that live updates and inspections are temporarily disabled. Granular Control: Options to allow certain colla

Multi-edit with text is sometimes similar to a real multi-character-set selection editing but not, and in surprising ways. This is a request that multi-edit with text use real multi-character-set selections. Specifically: If a user with multiple text fields selected presses enter, engaging multi-edit, they would obtain text selections within each text field, visualized as such. (Currently we seem to obtain one primary character-level-granularity text selection but retain the text-field level granularity for other text-fields.) Shortcuts for selection transform (e.g. shift/option arrow) would transform each selection. Text selection style properties (font, weight, letter-spacing etc.) would be distinguished in the property panel from text frame properties like alignment. Text properties would behave like any other case of multiple selections, displaying ‘mixed’ in cases where the text selection properties are mixed. e.g. when one selection includes bold text and another include

I use string variables frequently, but it’s super annoying trying to edit the text of long sentences within the current fixed height field. It should instead wrap the text with the height increasing (or at least a toggle option…). Otherwise I have to write text and copy and paste in variable, which is silly. current With wrap

I have searched the community and Google for an answer to this question, but I have not been able to find one. Perhaps there is no answer. I have found a plugin that supports this functionality, but it does not add the frames to the FRAME panel. For example, I am working with different Zebra devices that have different DPs. As a result, most of the frames do not work. I would like to know if I can create my own frames and have them appear in the frame list so that my organization can see and use them as well. Thank you for your time and consideration.

In the new UI, the “reset scroll position” option is hidden and not enabled by default. Currently, it requires two clicks to add this action. To streamline this process, I suggest either making the option visible by default or enabling it by default. This would improve the user experience by reducing the number of steps needed to access this functionality.

Whenever I hand over a prototype link to a client and they leave comments on the file, it’ll be a mix of design and copywriting (or other) feedback which means Designer and Copywriter need to read through ALL the comments to find the ones appropriate to them. It would be sick to have an option where the client can maybe colour-code their comments or something, so, for example, they’re doing copy feedback only, so they’re in yellow, and then all the design comments are in purple. This way it’s not wasting anyone’s time. 👍

We have a lot of components in our design system (surprise surprise lol), and due to fuzzy matching, everything including the kitchen sink gets returned when search for a specific component. I could work around this if we had exact matching or must include matching, but that doesn’t seem possible either. For example, I’d love to prefix certain components for easier access: Icons: ^ Home OS UI: iOS Status bar

Idea: Add images and set it as thumbnails (not cover for the file). Allow click on an image to expand/see in full size (perhaps in a modal). Use case: When I need to make app flows, I find flowcharts better than a sequence of screenshots because it is easier to read the flow itself. So I would like to attach screenshot as examples for each different view. However, screenshots takes too much space in a readable size, especially tablet and desktop sizes. Small image thumbnails with click to expand ability would be enough for viewers to get context when needed when reading the flows. What do you think?

I do a lot of presentations in Figma, and usually those PDFs are over 300+ Mb and tough to share. The feature that came in handy is rasterizing selections which can do wonders for file storage. But using it is a real pain. If you have a pres with 50+ slides you have to click manually for every slide choose from dropdown, rince and repeat… the new ui didn’t help with it either. inb4 why dont you add a custom shortcut bla bla bla Navigate to: System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > click “+” Select Application: “Figma.app” and set shortcut for plugin commands by pasting in the “Menu Title” in this format: Plugins->Plugin Name->Plugin Command. CBA – So please Figma, add a shortcut for Rasterize selections feature.
