Would love to be able to see recent text changes in FigJam. (We’ve moved to FigJam from Miro, and this is one of only two things we miss. The other being vertical alignment of text in boxes.)

Yesterday I came across a nice detail, by accident: When you begin to drag an interaction noodle, if you hold the OPTION key on Mac while dragging, the interaction will change into a Swap overlay interaction. This allows me to create Swap overlays very quickly indeed. Why not add more of these, for instance holding SHIFT could make it a Open overlay interaction, etc. In that example, the interaction settings popover would still open because Open overlay has a number of options I may want to tune, but at least the interaction type (Open overlay) would be already set in the dropdown. Those are tiny details, but we do those actions millions of times a day…

The ability to use a ternary operator in variable expressions would make dramatically increase the ways that variables and expressions could be used. Beyond that the current conditional action only allows for a binary set of options but since ternary expressions could be nested we could effectively have elseif conditions. They are a native operator for JS so I would think it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to add them in.

When you select any object and drag it beyond your canvas’ border, the canvas starts to scroll to follow you. For some reason this does NOT work when you drag a comment. So it is sometimes a bit painful to move a comment to a far away place.

Make it possible to add images to comments. I created a new topic, because these older ones were closed: Comment with attached Image Share an idea My Commentor usually sends feedback with a reference image. But they have to send it by link or even by direct message. It takes me a lot of time to collect comments and images they send. I have so many pages and comment in Figma. My problem will be solved easily if Figma lets me comment with an attached Image. Like overflow.io, this tool has a good comment system, more natural. [demo] Add images/screenshots on add comments Share an idea Can you please add “upload image” feature when someone tries to add a comment? or just paste a copied image as their comment. Because oftentimes I want to share a reference design image for a particular section and then I have to paste the image URL. But often times I have the image already downloaded on my PC so then I have to share the image manu

I hope Figma can implement a feature in FigJam where the names of Sections can be set up as a table of contents. By clicking on a “Section name” in the table of contents, the view would jump to the center of that Section.

It would be nice to have the ability to refine my selection from the Select Matching Layers button to a specific scope. Ex: Select Matching Layers → Visible/In this frame/In this section/In this file My use case might be unique, but I have many screens with many grids. By selecting a column header and then selecting matching layers, I would love to be able to limit that broader selection in a few different ways, so that the matching layers in one set of screens isn’t selected despite being matching layers (I don’t want to select them). Not difficult to unselect what I don’t want if I zoom all the way out or generally understand what could have been selected after pressing the button, but I’ve seen this result in some unexpected changes occurring where I didn’t intend them to - only to discover this much later.

I was using a workaround where I had separators in my project list so i could organise the files better but now they have scrapped that feature and can only see each individual project with no grouping. Please introduce better file organisation!!

When you navigate to a main component from an instance there is an awesome button that allows you to “return to instance”. This ability should also exist for links that navigate you to a frame within a file!

Hey, I would like to see the possibility to pin simple plugins like “Sorter” or “Pixel Perfect” to the workspace. Some plugins are used very often and it would save a lot of time and mouse clicks to not have to open them again and again. what do you think?

Me previous sidebar is no longer available as its projects are linked to different teams.

Its a bit frustrating when working with many colors you have to click three times to view all the colors. Show selection colors button See all X colors button Sell all library colors button If you could pin these open it would save a lot of time. I have not seen a plugin that will list all the colors and provide the “quick replace” / “select using” functions of the native interface. But if it exists let me know please.

Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I am a designer for a marketing and advertising agency. My coworkers and I use Figma on a constant basis for brainstorming, prototype development, etc. and we love it. As an agency we all use Google Drive to store our files, and have the Google Drive for desktop app installed on our Macs — we call it our “server”. The server is live and shared with everyone at the agency. This is how we share our files with one another. It is a pretty well-oiled machine, except for when it comes to Figma files. There doesn’t seem to be a way that we can save live Figma files onto our server, so we have to workaround it by sharing links with one another through a different project management platform. We would love a way to solve this to make things more seamless. I was wondering if anyone knows of any third-party plugins that would allow us to embed live Figma files onto our Google Drive server or desktop? Or if you know if this will be a feature Figma will allow in th

Click to follow feature : when you stop following a user in the file, have a “Return to your last location” tooltip just like when going to a master from a component instance.

Hi Figma team. I am the person in company who create and maintain the shared library. However we allow multiple editors in the file to put their ref in their own draft pages. Problems happen when this released: I did create a complete set of colors and numbers in variable. Then in other designers’ draft pages they copied design from other project files along with variables bound to them, then auto created collections with same name and same variable name. When they do that I cannot know which collections are the ones I had defined for the library and which are the collections created by copying from other files. And how to locate the layers using those copied variables. I don’t understand how much you need this feature. Variables can be published along with library aren’t they? So this is my suggestion: If you copy layer with variables in a library, it should not create new variable in new collection in Local Variable, refer to the library instead. If you copy layer with variables n

Currently when you click a link to a frame within the same file you’re instantly moved to that frame, which is great! The issue is, especially with big files, you can get lost on where you were just moved and have to zoom out to get your bearings again. An animation from the link to the destination frame would help you understand where you’re coming from and where you’re going.

I hope my title makes sense. What I’m proposing is adding the ability to multi-edit a layer across similar layers in a particular variant. For example: In our design system, we have text styles for responsive design (ie: We have a Body/XL, Body/LG, Body/MD, and Body/SM) and when we create component sets, we also create the variants for each breakpoint. So on a card component for example, we’ll have Size=XL, LG, MD, SM, and then the text layers in each of those size variants correspond to the Text styles I mentioned before. In a Card LG size, the body text will be Card/LG, a link might be Link/LG, a button might be Button/LG and so on, in a Card SM size, it’ll be Card/SM, link will be Card/SM etc. The tweak I’m asking for is when I duplicate the LG variant to make the SM variant, when I select a Body/LG text layer in the SM variant, I have the ability to select only the Body/LG text layers in that SM variant, vs all matching text layers in the component set. Note: I’m not asking fo

Right now, when you are exploring your file, you can hold the middle mouse button to go in some pan mode, where you grab and move the canvas. Other 2D graphics software offer this functionality aswell, though some have it on spacebar per default. In my favorite photo editing suite the user can not only pan the canvas, but also zoom by scrolling the mouse wheel in this mode. I’d love to see this functionality in Figma aswell. Currently in Figma one would have to hold crtl additionally to the middle mouse button. This is somewhat inconvenient, because you need to use both hands and it’s most likely bad for accessibility too.

I want to make sure that the length of text lines is accessible and therefor would like to use a character count to set the max width instead of pixel values (e.g. 80 chars max).

Hi all, I’ve made use of interactive components to create some icon buttons with built in tooltips. They work the same as the example in the playground file. The hover interaction itself works fine, the problem comes when I use it in a scrolling context. Made a basic example as I can’t share my actual file: Figma My button is at the top of the blue frame. If I put the navigation header behind this frame in the layer order, then the page content appears on top of the header, which is obviously not something you want. But if you position the header above the frame, you can’t see the tooltip when you hover over. The only way I can get this to work is using open overlay which can’t be done within the interactive component. Are there any plans to support open overlay or something similar to solve this? Or is there a solution already that I’ve not spotted?

I am a person, not a Team®. This is confusing at best.

新規でファイルを作成する時、まずはファイル名をつける必要があるかと思います。 現在は「＋デザインファイル」を押すと、作業画面に遷移しますが、これはデザインファイルの命名規則に沿って他のデザインファイルから名前を参照する際に少し不便だと感じます。（私はファイルの一覧画面に一度戻って確認している） 今のmacやwindowsの「フォルダ作成」のように、名前の変更がアクティブの状態で一覧上にフォルダを作り、名前が決定した後にユーザーが任意でデザインファイルを開けるようにした方が使い勝手が良いのではと思いました。

For none trigger add the ability to create scripts for variables. After delay isnt enough, it takes time to be like none - default trigger Now i have to change color for tabs that have to work like according to the scenario if its bigger than predicted width it have to change color, if var1 = var 2, change color, now i have to made it by myself in canvas, and change everything that have to work automatically manually, and do change color automatically, thats mean if i want to change some screen if its equel to default scenario i made i always have to remember this scenerario and make predicted values for all of screens i made. but what if i want to subject them all to one scenario that i create like default for all the screen with vars in canvas? i can do this by trigger option in interaction window and only for prototype, but i cant make like scenario for canvas, not for prototype, i need to make scenario for canvas, if variable 1 = variable 2 settings attached to the var are changed

Hello. When we switch the theme, it’s impossible to add color from variables to the canvas color. Can you add variables to the Figma canvas? In this case, we will be able to set colors for canvas and section colors and switch our designs accordingly. This will improve the experience and make the design process easier for designers, because not only users need a theme switch.
