Please allow importing of common file types such as: .pdf, svg, Would be also great if .svg files could be recoloured in figjam.

I would love to hear how others handle clear version labeling and fidelity leveling in their Figma screens / components. I’d wondered whether it would make sense to have any property types that could be automatically applied to components, configured at the file or organization level. Whether these are fully open ended, or perhaps more realistically ‘tied’ to concepts like “Version” or “Fidelity,” this has been something we have done manually ourselves to track our components. Example “Fidelity Type” Property values: Low, Medium, High We have found ourselves sometimes turning low fidelity screens into components to explore layouts, or even just to have a lower fidelity option to share out (thanks luminosity!) even as we are working on medium or high fidelity concepts. At times this has meant taking an existing component and adding a “Fidelity” property to start tinkering splitting out the next phase of iteration even if some project screens still live in low fidelity land. Whatever you

Figma should make the mockups in the prototypes downloadable. it will save alot of trouble trying to find our own mockups

Hi, is there a Figma plugin allowing to merge color styles with the same name and/or merging styles from a list like the Sketch plugin “Merge Duplicates”? It allows you to select which styles you want to merge (from the whole list of styles within the file) and merge them, even if they have different names. The style you decided to keep applied to all layers (and overrides) using the discarded styles, and the discarded styles removed.

We need a default page background option to reflect and respect the user’s theme automatically. When I’m using Dark Mode and no specific page background color is set, it should default to #1E1E1E, while for someone using Light Mode the page background should be #F5F5F5. I imagine something like a simple toggle “Use background color based on theme“ or something like this, as the default, with the option to set a custom background color that becomes the background color for everyone.

As the title said, Allow us to download all files in the project in one bulk. It’s been in pain downloading file one by one (download as a local copy) as I get laid off from my company. If there’s a download-all, would be better than having to click each of the projects and download them manually one by one.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this I got a few reports that text function works weirdly when typing Korean these days. (the video below was taken a week ago, and I still have the same issue) it gets better after rebooting Figma completely, but it is not the best solution. Korean people are having the same issue these days, here’s a reference from Korean community;facebook.com Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Is there any way I can solve this problem as a user? Or is Figma team already working on this bug? Thanks in advance 🙂

Why can’t I click on the text and simply show me how to adjust the font size?!

Hey Folks, Why have you removed the “Paste to Replace” function from the right-click menu?

Hi Figma dev team, When selecting fonts, it used to be that you could just copy the font name and paste it into the search field. Now, you have to type the font name manually to choose a font. Can you bring back the copy-and-paste feature? That would make changing or selecting fonts much easier. Thanks.

It will be great when you’re dealing with complex components with multiple variants and you want to edit the names, bulky, with Numbers like $nn and $NN to consider the multiedit. Right now, if you want to do that, all your layers will be renamed sequentially. For example, you want to bulk edit 5 layers in 10 variants resulting in 50 names. Bulk rename would give them names from 1 to 50, while I expect to have from 1 to 5 on all variants. I hope that makes sense, but it will be a game changed for handling and maintaining complex components

ability to hide a slide in a deck - IMO this is a basic. Canva & Google Slides have this; Its really important for iterating on ideas or collaborating with others. My work around is to have a end of the deck “archive” slide then move slides after the archive slide. Dragging slides around (especially when its a large deck) is annoying. “Undo” should not include viewing a different slide - this has been very confusing for me and its tripped me up to the point that I’ve considered going back to Canva or Google Slides. When I make an edit to deck and I choose undo I expect for that edit to go away … not to navigate somewhere else.

I would like to let the employee knows why I rejected their seat request.

Thanks for Slides, Figma! Can we get more flexibility for exporting? While there is the option to “Export all slides to PDF” hidden in the File menu, there’s no option to right click on an individual slide to export just one. For large decks this can be tedious culling a large PDF export if just wanting to export one or a few specific slides. It’d be awesome to have a slide selector, right click, and/or export panel to the right (similar to Figma’s traditional export options) for file format, size, etc.

To try to give more context to developers, we ended up creating “meta” designs, designs for annotations, personas, data model, naming conventions, etc. We put these into a “Developer Context” frame that can be hidden or shown. Yet, it’s clunky and gets in the way a lot. If designers had access to Dev Mode and could design WITHIN it, then these designs and their components would only show up in Dev Mode and designers wouldn’t have to navigate around them.

Would be great if when I click on a slide and duplicate it (command + D) I could then reorder the slide with the same hotkey as reordering layers in Figma design (command + [ or ]).

Hello there and huge kudo to the entire Figma team for this amazing feature! All interactive components used in a prototype have a hotspot hint linked to it regardless the connection made in the file to simulate a flow. In results, there are hotspot hints everywhere which is more confusing that helping. The need is to be able to distinguish between self-generated hotspot hints and the one I really need in relation to my flow.

There is no clear reason why Show Outlines is not available in Figma Slides.

When I try to use Pan with the space bar or some click and drags… there are some delays and the commands don’t work properly, messing around the files. I had the same issues in a iOS from work and the windows in my house. I was suspicious that enabling the interactive componentes could be the one causing this problem, but another designer from my network complaint about the same issue to me, and he didn’t enabled that tool in beta. Hope this complication do not last long.

Mp4 option to Export. So if we wanted to export a social card or UI graphic that has simple tween animations we can do so from Figma

ok im embarassed to ask this but can i scale a widget? i found a widget i really like - i want to use it but its really small and doesnt fit my design frame i hit K for scale but its not doing anything am i really dumb - or is it just widgets dont scale??

There are so many options for Figma presentation settings. It would be great if we could save our default presentation preferences.

Similar to the current option to mark a section as ‘Ready for dev’, it would be great if we could easily mark sections or pages with changeable statuses, such as ‘WIP’, ‘In design’, ‘AB Testing’, etc., rather than manually applying emojis in the page name. This could be implemented into the ‘ready for dev’ dropdown menu on a section, and then the status is also indicated in the page name with an icon. Additionally, it would be beneficial if these statuses were customizable to suit different companies’ needs.

With the new addition of dev mode, it’s really bugging me that designers can mark things as ready for development, yet developers cannot “respond”. I’ve seen a fair share of plugins that allow you to mark top-level components/frames with this really large preset component, but as a developer, I cannot apply this status myself due to lack of write access. With write access however, it would be more useful to create custom status components/icons that we could use as internal indicators that deprecate the need for external status plugins. I would really love to see Figma create additional statuses within dev mode, that help devs keep track of individual component status. For example, we have a page dedicated to Iconography, and it’s hard to keep track of which icons are implemented, which are new, etc. It’s unfortunate since status of development may be best marked in a PM tool such as JIRA, but it is the case that: It takes too long to create tickets for each component tickets become o

With the UI3 update, the frequently used corner radius field completely breaks my flow. It is always positioned in a different spot depending on what you have selected. Previously no matter what you have selected the corner radius was always at the top near the rotation input. Now it’s not even possible to set a shortcut for this field using tools like BetterTouchTool because it needs to click in a specific spot. So you have to visually search through the array of similar looking input fields trying to find where the corner radius is. This takes multiple seconds for me every time I want to change corner radius. This way it’s impossible to build muscle memory to quickly press this field — muscle memory works by doing the same action, not searching through the entire column first. At the very least offer a native shortcut to enter corner radius so I have a quick way to set it.
