I feel like we’re missing a huge opportunity here with dev mode. You can either mark something as ready for dev or to be re-checked, but why can’t we add a section status for “Needs review”? So stakeholders can immediately know exactly what they need to look at before it ever reaches a dev’s hands?

It would be helpful for instance-level admins to be able to determine the content that goes out automatically in an email when a user requests an upgrade. Whether the request is denied or approved, we have to then compose a separate email either providing instance guidelines if it was approved, or details on the requirements if it was denied.

I feel very uncomfortable when I adjust colors frequently. I need to open the color window and select the color every time. If I want to adjust other styles such as gradient, there are many redundant steps. I hope the color window can have an alternative setting to keep it open. Thank you.

Allowing text style overrides is really cool but it would be even better if this feature could work with intermediate font weights: medium, semibold etc. which are set with ⌥⌘< or ⌥⌘>.

I frequently have to add stickies for team members that don’t have FigJam editing access, so it would be great to be able to change the author name so I know who said what. In addition to that, there’s a weird bug where sometimes my name shows as the author for other people’s sticky notes.

When building presentations I often use symbols with different states as looping animations (with each state progressing after delay). The problem is that symbols don’t get reset to the first state if I move back and forth through the presentation, they keep looping in the background, which means timings, etc. things don’t match what I wanted anymore.

It’d be awesome if I can bold a pencil line or connector with ⌘B, the same way I bold a text.

Please don’t make every click a history state. This can make it very tedious/error prone to undo a simple change because there happened to be 7 clicks in between. Also, please name the last action in the Undo item in the Edit menu so I have confidence I’m undoing the right thing or that I even did the action I thought I did. Finally, please addd an undo history panel separate from the version history panel to make it easier to jump back with precision.

Hello! There was a feature in Figma, that when you cycled between font families with the arrow keys, the text changed on the page to that font even before confirming the change. Now with the new font window, you need to confirm your selection to preview the text in your page. If you don’t like it, you need to again open up the fonts window, and go through the process. Photoshop behavior is much nicer, where you see the fonts in the window, how they are, plus there’s a preview on the page. I believe this feature was working fine before the updates. Have a nice day!

When I am clicking on the ‘variables’ icon in the properties panel for components (not local variables) I struggle with sorting items in order. I usually like them in alphabetical order (example icon components grouped together as variants) but there’s no one-click ‘sort A-Z’ option. That’s alright I guess (even though it would make my work much quicker whenever I add a new variant) but at least can the popover space be allowed to be made larger? It’s so hard to drag and drop things around when you don’t have full visibility. Also, when dragging, the scroll goes crazy and it’s hard to place it where you want it. Further, on UI3, this drag functionality jams Figma completely and there seems so be issues with the drag icon and the actual item being selected for dragging. It doesn’t even work so I have to revert to the old UI just to get this done. It’s quite a pain.

Hi Figma community, is there a possibility to send in some Ideas to Figma for new features? There is definitely a need for some… Master Layout Possibility to save your template to the “Templates” Maybe even save it as a PowerPoint file for people who don’t have access to Figma What do you think? Thank You!

I was working on a deck for my daily meetings in Slides and I realized that the “Cmmd + R” is not there to rename layers like it works for design files.

There are possibilities to display “responsive” Design, but all include designing multiple Screens. Would be nice, if i can simply bind Component-States to Frame-Width, mayby by a simply if statement or something like that. This would reduce the effort to display every Screensize in a seperate Frame (screen), but rather just resize the Frame. I can allready do this, by using auto-layout, but some Elements change entirely by Screensize (as it can be for Menus for example) Example: In the Component “Menu” define: if Width of Frame123 = 1440px - set-State: Desktop. width of Frame123 < 500px - set-State: Mobile. Would extremly reduce the effort of displaying different Screensizes and have a all-in-one Screen where for example the Menu switches from Tabs to a Burger Menü or similar simply by resizing the parent Frame. Since “normal” Elements, that dont change entirely i can exactly do this by using auto-layout…

While collaborating with other users. It is frustrating sometimes when someone joins and their color is purple. Reason for this is because of components, when selecting components I expect them to be purple but if a user selects it and their cursor color is purple than I can not tell if it is a component or just something they have selected

I’m currently using branches has a way to have “clean” versions of the project for Developers to inspect and use in their process, that way they don’t need to see the mess of WIP. I have pages that are just research and deprecated componentes, etc… and I would love if I could “flag” those pages so they are ignored when I update the branch. Do you all feel this need or am I the only one?

I would like a setting in Libraries to ignore swapping modes with Variables as modifications to components and elements. When conducting test w variable modes, this impacts almost every component and is detected as a modification on every component that uses a variable in the publishing panel, even if the mode is changed back to the original/default. This makes it very overwhelming and a very tedious act of having to comb through modified items during publishing to determine what has really been “modified.”

Hello Figma Team, Recently, we have utilized Figma’s Local Variables feature to build a token-based design system. We have defined various color values within the Local Variables, categorizing them into two main types: Primitive Tokens and Semantic Tokens. For example, typical color values like Blue, Red, and Pink are divided into steps (e.g., blue 100, blue 200) as Primitive Tokens. In the Semantic Tokens, these values are defined according to their usage purpose. In our brand, Blue 500 from the Primitive Tokens is defined as the Primary Color in the Semantic Tokens, making it easy to use. The issue we face is the inability to reorder the tokens we defined in these two categories as we wish. Despite the high frequency of using the Semantic Tokens, we always have to scroll past dozens of tokens defined in the Primitive Tokens to reach the Semantic Tokens, which causes some inconvenience during our work. We kindly request the addition of a feature that allows us to freely change the ord

Whenever I am creating the overlay interactions, I always fiddle to add the color manually every time. It would be so much better if the background color is prefilled with the previous color and opacity. Or a style selection would be much easier to work with.

The title says it all. Not sure of other stamp use cases; our teams typically use them almost solely for voting or sticky-specific feedback. Auto-sizing them to around 1/50th the size of the average sticky note would shave off a bunch of resize time that every participant needs to do during each brainstorm.

Hey, quick and simple: Please make it happen that we can share our frames, sections, etc. in collections. Collections should work as kind of folders where we can add and remove design elements to. It makes it a lot easier to share specific parts of the project with different stakeholders and makes finding the correct screen in a flow a lot easier. Here is a quick example where I played around with the css/html of your existing “Ready for dev” list view: Regarding the existing ready for dev list view I have to say that its not intuitive and makes finding the right design elements very complex. I would love to have a discussion how the idea of collections could be integrated into Figma 🙂

this is how you can made it

I am one of those who find that multiplayer cursors shatter my ability to concentrate. I also like to turn off comments so I can SEE the designs. I turn both off, but do not appreciate that when I return to Figma, you have turned both back on. I am used to thinking that it is a bad user experience to go against a user’s wishes in order to push a company’s agenda and to be clear, in this case you have openly decided that you do NOT want to provide the best user experience. This certainly does not endear Figma to me and it leaves me with a poor impression of your product and leadership.

It still happens to me after 2+ years of daily usage that elements are not added to a section or frame when moved or copied. They are visually “on” the frame or section, but technically not.

It’s often difficult to summarise what work is being done within a branch in a branch name that doesn’t truncate. Therefore, it would be great to have a branch description field where you can provide more detail on what the branch is for.
