Share Your Thoughts

Sometimes, after updating a single or a group of master elements and adding an update log to the comment section, you may need to update them again. At this point, you need to recall the comment or leave the comment section empty. To solve this problem, let’s add a “Previous comment” section that shows the latest published comments for the selected master elements. Share your thoughts.

When using the app, I’m sure most of us have multiple Figma tabs open. At the moment, in the forest of tabs the only visible differentiation between the tab you’re on and all the others, is a slightly lighter shade of black. This is terrible. Please make it a CONTRASTING colour/shade, or allow the user to configure their own. As with all requests, this is of course very urgent 😉

When will the ability to filter and/or sort by Dev Mode seat access become available in the Admin dashboard’s Members view? Not all of my non-Designer users have access to the Dev Mode Beta right now, and I have to scroll up and down a list of 100’s of users to note who has that particular level of access.

I want to record and compare the specific changes of the component library each time it is released, so as to synchronize this information with other partners, but at present it seems that there is no way to achieve automation. I can only inform you verbally. I hope publish will expose these modification details.

Hey people, was working on a group component, for which had used nested property. As shown in the image below Seeing the above property panel options on the right, I realised that there can be an option to select, same property to be applied to all molecules or not. If yes then the property panel can be minimised to one single nested molecule’s properties, making it less overwhelming for the system users. Cheers!!

You know how you can change some of the values in the tool menus by positioning your mouse just so, so it turns into a double-sided arrow, and then dragging left or right? I want to do this alllllll the time with font size, but it’s so hard to position my mouse right on the tiny spot that lets me do it that I usually have to click into the box and use my up/down arrows instead. Would be great if the trigger area for making a quick change were just a few pixels bigger!!! Thank you!

Hi! Please let me know if something like this is already available or if any of you found a clever hack: My use case: I have a list item where designers can change the icon color into a limited set of other colors to fit their specific use-case. Just as we can create instance swap, boolean and text properties, I would love to be able to set a property on the color overrides where I can select prefered (or even better - limit) the colors the designers can pick. My current solution is to duplicate all component variants and only change the icon. This however makes the component huge.

is there a setting to make it so that when a mobile prototype is viewed on the phone, it isnt obscured by the notch or dynamic island?

Let’s imagine that we have a variable that we use for some number of elements, as we don’t want to create a separate one for each element (let’s say, a visibility variable - boolean “Visibility” with a default value = true). Now, as far as I know, there’s no way to point the state of this variable only for a certain element of this group. What I am looking for is how to control (eg. by a button or checkbox) the common variable but only in a certain context / frame / group / any nested element. Maybe by using some formula like .[frame name].[component name].[variable name] to point out precisely only the element whose state we want to change. Ofc now Figma allows naming components / frames / groups with the same names but I am sure that each element has its one unique id or any data that it would be possible to refer to in order to point out the element in which we want to change the state of the variable. That would help in reducing the number of variables, especially in large forms th

I am thrilled with visibility we now have into plugin usage by 7d, 30d, and 1y. This is great insight to help us manage our plugin approval. What would be great is to be able to export the data or get a better table view of plugin usage so we can scan all the usage data at once. It is tedious to go through and click on a plugin, click the usage tab, and than swap through the different timelines. If you create a table like this, or an export, it would be great Plugin name. Usage last 7 days Usage last 30 days Usage last year Style swapper 5 30 100 Thank you!

I would like for the owner to have full lock/unlock features. The students shouldn’t be able to change the basic format, questions, etc. They should be able to lock their own text box, sticky note whatever. The owner/teacher should be able to unlock the students work to add feedback.

as per title, fonts used in FigJam makes it impossible to write in many other languages that are not supported, would be nice to have easy access to custom fonts

When there are a lot of conditionals and interactions, the popout menu becomes scrollable, which is great. However, some prototypes end up having a really long chain of interactions that the user may need to view at the same time. Having to scroll up and down inside the panel is tedious. If the panel was resizable (retaining scrollability with overflow) the user would be able to see more at once.

To enhance user experience and navigation ease on the main page, I suggest altering the current label “/Back to files” to “/Back to Home,” and pairing it with the corresponding Figma icon. Furthermore, relocating this button outside of the “Main Menu” and placing it in a more prominent area of the interface could increase its visibility, as there is ample space available for this adjustment. Such a minor modification could likely boost the site’s adoption rate among new users by providing clearer and more direct guidance to the homepage. I’m relatively new to user experience work, but I believe this suggestion will be valuable!

Hello Figma Team. Please consider adding a “Align Centers” option. This single option would be equivalent to clicking both Align Horizontal Centers AND Align Vertical Centers. This option could reside between Right Align and Top align.

Hello, I want to apply conditional variable to variant inside the component set. Currently, if i am not mistaken, it can only be applied to instance. For example : If boolean variant Timer is true Then display Variant Timer on If not display Variant Timer off It could be applied to component size, color inside component etc.

I run into this use case alllll the time and it drives me crazy that this isn’t supported in Figma: I have a modal that is opened as an overlay. Within that modal is a dropdown, which will alter the contents of the modal. I would LOVE for a click on the dropdown options to be able to swap the variation of the modal.

What’s the use of a color picker if I can’t directly use what I find? Let’s create a shortcut to copy the found color code to clipboard. Could be a variation of cmd+C, alt+C, or similar. So that I can directly paste the found HEX code to my design. Particularly useful, for example, when I have a transparent color and want to know the hexcode to turn it solid.

It would be nice and efficient if I’d be able to locate my team member from the Figma “dashboard”, click the avatar and get to the project that my team member is working on. There could be a setting where I could enable to let other members “find” me, to easily get into the project I’m currently in. There are often scenarios when I want to get to the project that my team member is working on, to share a component, an image, whatever. To do that, I need to ask what project they’re in, then locate the project either by searching or finding it in a folder.

It would be super helpful to be able put a colored border around integrated Jira cards. Each card comes through as solid white. Being able to use a color picker and put a thick colored border around a card would help to organize linked cards. Even better? Tie that color to the Jira status label color, automatically. This would allow users to see a card status from a ‘high level’.

Would be great to have the ability to mark up text like you can on Adobe Acrobat, in Figma. This way stakeholders can provide specific feedback on text more specifically.

Hi all, Is there a way to sort or pin files to the project thumbnail in a team view? It looks like a great shortcut for the most used files inside the project, but unfortunately, the sorting now doesn’t make sense. I guess it’s sorted by ‘last created/edited’ atm, but it doesn’t reflect our needs.

It would be cool if there is a possibility to share prototype links to clients that doesn’t have an account. It would be beneficial for me because client could test the design before implement it.

It would be valuable for educators to have the ability to turn on/off functions for use with a class of students. A basic view or simple edit view to remove stickers and unnecessary items could be valuable for a shared class FigJam board, separate from a full view where students can access the fun add-ons and stickers and things when they are working more independently in FigJam.

Would be awesome if we could use number variables to define the properties within grid styles. Would allow us to use semantic tokens to set page margins and gutters.
