Implementation of a “Selection typefaces” menu when selecting a frame. This feature would facilitate the seamless replacement of employed typefaces by utilising styles available in designated libraries.

A few improvements for the admin panel/setting up new users: When an invite is sent out, let us pick at that point what access the user will have for Design, Dev, and FigJam. It’s a pain in the butt having to go back to see if/when people have accepted the invite. Also at the new user set-up; would be helpful to have an option for length of time the user can have editor seat(s). Example: we are hiring many 12-18 month contract positions currently. Checking off that they’re a contract employee for 12 months and then admins get a notification around the contract end date as a reminder to adjust the access. Setting up notifications for users who have been been completely inactive for X amount of time - to prompt admins to review and see if user still needs Figma.

Duplicating (copy+paste) someone’s sticky note and turning on author shows the original sticky note’s author—I think it should show the new author. Is this the intended behavior?

Introduce a functionality to display all utilised styles within a file, enhancing the ease of examination of the full project and facilitating the straightforward replacement of incorrect library styles (colours, typefaces, effects).

There was an idea about this in 2022 and I’d like to reopen it since it would be super useful. Attaching the active plugin window to one of the panels (probably the right one) and making it collapsible would avoid having to constantly move the plugin window all over the screen (or close it and then having to search for the plugin again). It would also be super useful to have that panel be one just for saved and most used plugins! original idea: Collapsible plugin panels

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? I love the orange dot sticker. I dream of color-coding it. Please make it happen! Overall, I love the new FigJam tool. Love it love it love it. Just make default stickers more editable. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? I just put a dot on the screen and desperately want to right-click it and pick from selection of different colours. 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? Desktop app 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?

I would like to propose an idea to improve Figma: add an option to "Pin custom % on Zoom/view options in tab. This feature will help to conveniently work with the real size of components on the page, which is especially important in design. For example the divergence in visual size between 13" MacBook and 22" Dell screens I would appreciate your consideration of this suggestion!

Variables are one of my favorite things in the latest version of Figma. However, one thing that I would love to see is to be able to make the font family that all of my font styles are based off of a text variable.

I believe some people forget to vote for what they need, while some topics get large, people need to scroll up to vote (or check if they have voted before). Also, there should be a tag for the forum, just for the sake of improving the forum experience. It’s good, but it always can be better.

DS that runs with external tokens such as Token Studio or others cannot read the properties of the tokens using viewer roles.

It’s time. Clearly AR/VR is here to stay so I love if Figma could allow us to begin testing our UIs in virtual reality. What does this mean? On a basic level… Be able lock UI elements/frames to 3d space Be able to view prototypes in a headset like the Oculus or Vision Pro What does this not mean? I am not looking for any kind of 3d modeling tool. There’s lots out there already for that Being able to do this will help designers explore and move into this new and emerging space. Plus, I am yet to find a great tool for this, so Figma could take the leap and be a ground breaker in this space, making VR/AR interaction design much more accessible to the masses than it currently is.

When a workflow or a screen-flow change I want to have the comparison tool to highlight these changes for whole sections:

In the screenshot above, I have two layers selected with the same color, but the “Selection colors” feature doesn’t show. If I were to group or frame these two layers, the “Selection colors” feature would show. I can’t easily change the color, because 1 layer has a fill, and the other layer has a stroke. I would love it if the “Selection colors” featured supported separate layers. I think this would be a great LBU / “Little Big Update”

As a Linux user I feel really alienated when using Figma! I love Figma and I love Linux (I’m not willing to give either up) - but you can’t seem to do a lot of things with Figma that others can if you choose to run Linux - no desktop app, no plugin development, and now no local fonts? What else? I understand there are sometimes workarounds for things but not being able to use the same things in the same ways as other users (ie: easily and conveniently) is just rude! So I want to use google fonts in my designs. I’m not sure if it’s even the right solution but I find a reference to a font helper and instructions to install it. But when I find the place in Account Settings it tells me… So is this really some dichotomy where I’m forced to choose between continuing to use Linux (a platform I’ve loved and used for nearly a decade - the only platform I really know in depth) and getting the benefit of using all Figma’s features? More specifically, can I use google fonts with Figma while on th

Figma needs to add a distort/warp text, image, vector feature, a lot like Kittl.com’s distort feature on their platform, it would be really helpful.

When design system maintainers remove a variant from a component, there is a replacement variant that is intended for all current instances of the removed variant to map to. However, currently there isn’t a built-in way in Figma to prompt consumers in their files to make this global update. The missing variant remains as the instance, and there is only a button to “restore component” in the properties panel. My suggestion is to have a “Missing variants” modal, similar to the “Missing fonts” modal, where consumers in their file are prompted to make a decision globally in that file to either keep the removed instance or replace/re-map them to another variant from that component set (or maybe even another component entirely). Quickly mocked up how this could look, following design pattern in “Updates from Main file” modal when resolving conflicts in branches:

The annotation feature in Dev Mode is a game-changer. However, it would be exponentially more useful if each annotation was visibly timestamped so our devs could quickly glean how “new” the annotations (and the changes they’re indicating) are.

I just want to know whether people who have the file open are actually viewing it or the tab is inactive. Very similar to Google Docs, Miro and other collaborative apps.

Hi all, I would appreciate it if i had the option to apply a Figma variable directly from the variables panel. I know this is possible with token studio and it just saves a lot of time because now i need to make the variable, select the layer, find the variable i created and apply it. If i could do a right click from the variables panel and apply to fill, apply to stroke etc - that would be a real benefit to speed up my workflow

Would be nice to drag and drop plugins for example under the export option. Just like photoshop has it with the drag function and the blue highlight bar appears.

We create various components in the library and make screens with a combination of component instances. Currently, we need to write Annotate and Measure functions in the library component in Dev Mode and make them visible in the instance. If multiple designers use Annotate and Measure functions in each project, there is a high possibility that they will write different guides. We need to improve it so that we can manage the guide in one place.

Hi, I have a suggestion to display all related tokens of the component and link them with each other, so developers would be able to automatically locate the relations between tokens (click on one token and be redirected to the ‘parent’ token). Would be also very helpful to export tokens to code (keeping in mind they can be defined in different files). Example: we have defined company brand colors (that change really rarely), then app colors (that use only some of brand colors and will change from time to time), then created semantic colors (they use part of app colors, can change more frequently) — all of them are connected with each other and defined like variables in different files. Unfortunately in dev mode we don’t see the relations between tokens (we see only the last level token) so developers should manually find the relations — that is really annoying as we have big color palette. Developers want to define in the code the similar color logic as we have created in Figma (brand

It would be very helpful for UX Researchers to organize their research on Figjam just like on Figma. Multiple pages would be very helpful for us doing research stuff to have a clear navigation on the steps in doing our research. Thanks!

Currently unused nested components still show up in the layer list (as “hidden”). In Dve Mode they show up “normal”. The ask is not to show them with the closed eye icon as “hidden” but instead do not to display them in the layers list at all.

Add special window for refinement notes, to get them from there right into Refinement table. No one will see your thoughts before you share it. The interface would be more ergonomic
