Hello, while prototyping it would be nice if I could select one or all of the items from one component which sits in many different frames on one page. Then we could make page links easier if you haven’t started with one in the beginning. Send me an email if you need me to elaborate. Cheers,

The library analytics currently only show the usage of variants. I think it makes sense if also the usage of component properties is shown.

When I am approving new team members in my workspace through the notificaiton panel pressing “Accept” closes the panel, opens the team modal and takes me away from the task of approving all requests. Approvals/Denials take forever when there are a lot of them. Let me stay in the notification panel to keep clicking all the available “Accept” or “Decline” buttons so what I am doing is not interrupted. Thanks!

Add an eyedropper to copy the style of any text. Often, when you sketch a new design, you don’t use styles, but then you need to transfer the design to a ready-made template and it takes a lot of time to edit ready-made styles.

This used to work, and most all other MacOSX applications allow the ability to drag the area around the close, minimize, and maximize buttons at the top left of the application window. In the recent updates in the past few months this is no longer a drag area resulting in having to resize the window down when you don’t have a draggable window area with multiple files open and the right empty area is off screen.

It would be awesome to have a icon only version of the layer side panel. Or a collapsable version of it. This was it is only a small sliver of a side panel. This would be great to gain additional screen real-estate for laptop usage. Maybe like a photoshop style or slacks updated UI. Just food for thought, those may not be the perfect examples.

It would be very useful to see Branch names in the Version History, instead of simply “Branch created” and “Branch merged”. Abstract’s ‘Commits’ section allows for much better traceability when looking back at changes made to the Main file.

I love Sections, and have been using them quite a lot. But found that a lot of basic functionality I got trained by using Frames are not present in Sections which makes it detrimental when using them. Alongside missing auto-layout features, I also greatly miss the ‘Clip content’ feature that would make the contents easily cropped. Please add this functionality to Sections 🙏

Dear Figma, sometimes I need this tricky trick. Working on new variant in moment I need to click on layer inside (1, circle), use [Cmd+option+K] (2) to get new comp outside (3) and Copy of this comp in place (1).

We build multi-page design files and it would be so useful to be able to create parent and child pages in the left navbar in expandable/collapsible sections (similar to how the Assets tab used to perform to view and access components across multiple libraries – the old design/interaction pattern was easier to navigate. I’m often lost in the new one, selecting one library to view its components at a time. I like to be able to view and access diff components from diff libraries at the same time. I’ll often have two different libraries expanded at once.)

It would be rad to be able to click a colleague’s cursor icon to follow them in addition to finding and selecting their avatar. This will save time searching for the correct person to follow, especially when they don’t have custom images active and many colleagues have the same initials.

Hello everyone ! Here is my problem: I would like to see all the layers related to a category without tapping any word in the search bar of the “Find” panel. Exemple : I want to export all the images present on my design. I would like when select “Images” category in the filters, to find all the images in my layers. For now it’s empty, i have to enter something.

everytime i update Figma, the shortcut on my desktop would disappear and i cause inconvience. Please give a option to pin a shortcut on desktop.

It’d be great to be able to mix booleans within a property, so that toggling on the Foo property causes A to show, while B hides. Sometimes the state of a component has the appearance of two elements linked, but not always that they both show or both hide, rather that one shows while the other doesn’t.

Hi! Variables work well for prototyping inside a Figma file, but I’l like to be able to use variables that apply within the scope of a component. For example, if I have a component that uses a rectangle with a border radius but the rectangle needs to resize, the border radius remains the same and now the rectangle loses the look and feel that it was originally designed with. Ideally, when I create a component, I could create a component variable that’s value is calculated by some function of the height / width of the component. I’d then set the value of my border radius to that variable. Now, when I create an instance of the component, if it resizes in any way, the border radius changes accordingly. So if I’ve created multiple instances of this component in my file, each instance’s height / width could be different and it’s border radius would adjust respectively.

Calling Figma PMs 👋! How about adding a feature that allows us to easily move and duplicate files between team spaces? 🚀 Figmars, If you agree, let’s show our valuable Vote!💪 Together, we can save designers loads of precious time! 😀

it would be nice if the inspector would list overrideable / swappable nested components without one having to drill down into the component’s layers. This would allow to quickly select multiple components and change an override for all of them. Currently I have to click through the relevant layers of all marked components to adjust the overrides in bulk: E.g. changing an icon override for multiple components.

The marker is very pixelated which doesn’t give a good experience when drawing during presentations and meetings.

When copying a deep link to a frame, section, page, etc. into Jira, Jira reformats the long URL based on the file’s meta data (i.e. the name of the file). It would be nice if the deep link had a unique meta title that referenced the frame/section/page etc. being shared Right now, if I share two deep links to sections (titled Section1 and Section 2, respectively) in a file (titled Filename1), Jira will display: Filename1 Filename1 It is hard to tell if I shared the correct link because it is not specific and appears duplicative. The desired feature would allow Jira to automatically display the following instead: Section1 Section2

Basically, what I would like to see is: a “Retry” option instead of the current “Reload” option. Retrying to show the current mirrored frame would take less time than reloading the frame entirely, especially in big projects.

Basically, what I would like to see is: fr / % length units. I really would use those features a lot.

So i was playing around with figjam yesterday (LOVE THE CAT STICKERS) bc I thought it might be a good place to do collaborative wireframes w/ my team (full-fledged figma still feels daunting to some folks) and i tried some wireframing libraries like Figma - Lo-fi Wireframe Kit | lofiwireframekit.com A robust library of over 100 wireframing components that helps you explore ... I noticed you can import these libraries as stickers, but the components don’t scale nicely w/ layout rules. it just scales uniformly… (which I guess makes sense since they are not vectors) I have been using Miro as “Figma lite” for wireframing with my team b/c its so easy to learn. But it is slow and laggy once you get too many wires on the board. It would be amazing to build wireframes directly in Figjam because it feels so blazingly fast - like the rest of Figma!

I am using the Figma API to deploy documentation links to the dev resources in dev mode. This is a great feature that allows useful, contextual information to be put in front of developers where they need it. The API currently offers Create, Read and Update options… but no DELETE. This makes it hard to tidy up large numbers of dev resources once they have been deployed into a file. Options to solve for this are; do it manually (not realistic for many dev resources) pair the REST integration with a plugin which does have an API to delete dev resources. This seems like an omission (particularly given how its supported on the plugin API) and hard to see how this can really offer the kind of flexible integration opportunities without also offering a delete method. Stale or unreliable links are almost worse than having no contextual information. We are in danger of training developers not to trust them

Can we have a feature that allows you to hit spacebar to preview a project in “All projects” view before I open it? I’m thinking like quicklook that mac has where you can preview a file from the desktop icon without having to open it completely. I find myself having to open up a number of different projects to find a specific one I’m looking for if I haven’t visited it in months and this would save time.

I like to treat my frames the way I build character rigs in 3d, with a single master component as the home screen and nested instances for every group and layer with switches for every state of those objects I want to be able to visualize my entire selection component variants and edit respecting their hierarchy, where I can see how many of the same instance I am editing based on my selection and to navigate all this exposed on the interface, bring to attention with border color the way select works to allow users to jump to that selection. This will enable workflow in which the user doesn’t have to navigate their layers as much to select components, solves the layer visualization which can’t deal with that many sub groups
