For designing accessibility states in components i would love to add an inside and outside border to one single element. Does anyone have a solution / work around for this or could this be a new feature.

We can tie the same functionality to different components no need to create separate variables.

Cursor chat is a great way to quickly communicate or interact with other stakeholders in the design file. However, most non-designers are not familiar with how to use it. I recently made a card for it and added it to the Quick Tips section in FigJam. It would be useful to have that pre-added.

At my org we have separate pages within a single file for our design scratchboard/sandbox and official designs that we want stakeholders to see and/or review. It would be nice to be able to control which pages are actually visible to non-editors in order to prevent wandering eyes and people getting confused about what to look at.

First Idea: This sounds crazy. I’d love to suggest if Figma could develop a watch app so designers who create app for both WearOS and WatchOS could interact with thier designs without having to use third-party platforms for prototyping. The app I am suggesting is just like the traditional mobile app that allows designers interact with the interfaces while they design. “Mirror Section” to be precise. Second Idea: Hey Figma, could you please add frames for wearables running on Google WearOS (e.g Galaxy Watch5, Gen 6 Wellness and Summit)? I loved the experience I got when prototyping the UIs for Apple Watch. What do you guys think? Kindly share your thoughts please. Thanks!

Imagine the ease of using generative fill inside the Figma UI. Not having to wait for the whole launching screen from Photoshop, create a new board, import the image, and make a selection, etc. They could also have a “remove background” plugin. Illustrator could implement a vectorization plugin. The possibilities are endless. It still wouldn’t make their software obsolete, as there would be a lot more granular things you could do with each app. But it would simplify a lot of Figma users’ workflows. Not to mention, they would likely dominate the plugin store.

“As a developer I want to filter the list of screens in the section Ready for development based on the last version that was developed so that I can only see / focus on the screens that were edited” See attached screens in sequence 1, 2, 3…

First off, let me say that for this post I am using the term “panels”(perhaps mistakingly) to refer to the two UI columns in Figma on the left (containing Layers and Assets) and the right (containing the Design and Prototyping tools). They are contained within the window and are fixed and inflexible. By "palette,” for this post, I am referring to the UI elements in many Adobe applications (but not XD) that are like mini-windows. You can move them around and resize them freely. And show and hide them individually and at will. And save your arrangement of palettes in order to have more than one. One of the biggest problems I have with Figma (and frankly, XD) UI is these panels: 1. Tools and functions come and go depending on what exactly is selected. I find myself frequently searching for a button or a menu that jumps up and down within the panel and sometimes disappears. If the panel were a palette, then I would immediately see the item I’m loo

When I drag a new interaction from a layer to a frame, I would love to have “Open overlay” as an implicit, slightly magical setting, if the target frame is smaller size than the origin one. (I am sure you can define it more precisely, the point is I keep changing implicit “navigate to” to “open overlay” a bit too often and I feel it is unnecessary.) Thanks for considering! 💞

I have a problem with Figma hiding the actual numeric values of layer paddings and margins. It’s always variables, everywhere, unless you really insist. For example, to see the numeric value of the paddings here: I have to click on the corresponding layer, and then hover the variable in the inspect pane. It’s better for dimensions, because while

Why is this still an issue? What does resetting styles back to the default have to do with the prototype flow? It’s been years that we’ve been dealing with this. Hunt and pick every component, waste hours instead of doing something simply. Also - for the hundredth time - when you reset styles you don’t need to reset content (text + icons). That’s just basic logic.

We often use firgjam for whiteboarding and followup with voting via stamps for the most compelling ideas/directions. Within AI, you can sort the stickies, but could they also be sorted by # of votes per sticky note?

Absolutely necessary feature request: 1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Can’t copy/clone the position, width & height, scale, rotation of element 2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Click special button/eyedropper and copy/clone the position, width & height, scale, rotation of element to another similar element. I know, there are plugins doing that. But the call of plug

In FigJam, when I’m focused in the last cell/row of a table, I’m used to pressing “Tab” to advance to the first line of the next row. Current behavior is to advance to another location on the canvas I’m in. This behavior is jarring and I can’t imagine that anyone would prefer this.

1、I copied PNG images on FIGMA and when pasting them on PPT, the size was not the size I had on FIGMA. I hope to maintain its size when pasting outward； 2、When I click on Export in FIGMA, I must click on Preview to see the exported material. I hope the preview below will be displayed directly when I click on Export. 3、Function that requires tilting vector rectangles or vector text

I misclick home/community button all the time - can the community icon be moved someplace else?

Is there a way setting the gradient position with Percent value?

Quite often I get many iterations in and realise that I’ve been copying a frame all over my designs instead of a component. I’d like to be able to swap a frame with a component.

Hi, I’m a product manager who uses Figma in collaboration with the design team. I mainly use it to drop comments/feedback on designs and prototypes. I often have to quickly pull up these designs and prototypes to gain stakeholder buy-in, keep management up to date or explain details to the development team. I use the left sidebar to create folders and save the files there. I’m struggling to keep these designs and prototypes easily accessible and quick to find as there are many things within a same file. I’d like to be able to easily access a specific prototype or design within the file from the left sidebar. This can be done but all the design pages and prototypes within the same file have the same name on the left sidebar so I can’t distinguish what part of the file I’m opening. If I could either save the different designs and prototypes with their name on the left sidebar or change the name like saving as, this would be solved and I’d be able to easily fi

For now, you can assign a boolean to a layer to set its visibility. I’ve seen several posts requesting the ability to negate the value. I would argue that it would be more beneficial to extend this request to using operators: This way, you could do [if myVariable == true], [if myVariable != true], [if myVariable == false], [if myVariable == “step1”], [if myVariable != “step1”], [if myVariable > 3] etc.

This will help to create significantly less similar frames for different states of the same frame. Similar to actions as to overlays—action that triggers other object and not the one that catches the action—it would be very useful to have an ability to influence other objects within the top frame. E.g. click an element and it triggers 1) hiding/showing another element in the top frame or 2) change state of an element in case the element is a component instance. For example, lets imagine design of a week calendar like in Google Calendar with 7 days of a week. In the header there is a button “show/hide weekend”. The calendar itself is auto layout with 7 columns for each day. Instead of creating 2 separate identical frames—one for 7 days and another for 5 days to switch between them—it could be enough to have just one frame for both options if the “show/hide weekend” had an action to turn visibility of two weekend columns within the week auto layout on or off. Now

Request - Our team is using Aha! for project planning. It would be great to have an Aha! Integration with Figma.

This is a small proposal for better management of local styles. For larger projects, our company creates different libraries, and it would be beneficial to have a feature like adding separators to styles. Similar functionality would likely be useful in page management as well. I have proposed my solution for adding separators.

I appreciate the efficiency of the copy/paste styles feature using option+command+c/v; it truly streamlines my workflow. It would be a game-changer if you could extend this functionality to include selecting a prototype arrow and pasting settings from another.
