This occurs when I have an instance in my clipboard and I attempt to paste-to-replace an instance inside another instance. It’d be great to be able to use the paste-to-replace keyboard shortcut to swap instances, rather than going through the hassle of selecting the nested instance and swapping it for another through the properties panel.

Rather than specifying exact numbers in the transition panel, it would be nice to bind the transition timing to a specific variable. The would allow for situation where when a modal is displayed, then closed after a specific increment, that increment could be set globally via a set time.

Would it be possible to attach the delay value to a variable? I was initially working on a prototype flow where it’s possible that the system either moves to another screen quickly, or it takes some time (depending on system processes). I wanted to simulate that. I also noticed this idea (Use variables for transition timing) which is kind of related, but mine is looking into a different value. Maybe our ideas could be merged together for just allowing variables in prototyping values 😀

The presentation view needs to support zoom. Currently it’s impossible to view large frames in presentation view as we’re limited to 3 options: 100% display at full size Fit scale down to fit Scale down or up to fill #1 displays the content too big, and #2 and #3 display the content too small.

Switching to the Enterprise license and would like the ability to assign a user to multiple workspaces. I see there is an option for folks to be invited to teams in different workspaces, but it would be more efficient if we can easily add and see how many workspaces folks are assigned to. In our organization we do a lot of cross collaboration, across the workspaces.

Say I’m doing a brainstorming session at work and people wrote a bunch of notes on stickies. Is there a feature to one-click cluster and organize them based on ideas? Currently we have to do this manually and it’s no scalable. 

As a non-admin user there doesn’t appear to be a way to see a list of the plugins that are approved for use by the organization. Currently only admins can see a list of approved plugins in Resources tab in the Admin Settings. Non-admins can only see a list of installed plugins. This list is accessible through the menu option Plugins > Manage Plugins… Would others derive value from a list of approved plugins?

Both flat- and pointy-top hexagons are missing from figjam's standard shapes.

So I’m in the trial for UI3. So far it is going well. I am able to find everything that I need to do my work and I have been both designing and maintaining the design system for two weeks. I like that the main CTA have moved to the bottom of the screen from the top left. One thing that is bothering me is I can no longer use my shortcuts to quickly create a link. On a mac CMD+ K opens the link box then CMD+ V pastes in the link I copied from elsewhere. (On Windows this would be CTRL+ K then CTRL + V) I use this functionality ALOT in handoffs. Maybe others do too? Also these shortcuts are used across many many applications such as Office 365, Google docs, sheets etc and even here in this text editor. Now CMD + K opens a component search window: I was instructed that a NEW shortcut SHIFT+CMD+U. now opens the link box. Unfortunately CMD K is used across all applications I have come across such as Notion, Google everything, MS 365 everything, slack, teams, etc and so on. So from a user ex

Is it possible the prompt result from figma make design wise to be copied in the main design file i’m not seeing any button that allows me to do that 

Hi there, I’d like Figma to detect when variables in a given Frame share the same modes, and only offer one dropdown to switch (or auto switch from the parent). Let me explain: Today, if you create a file (or Collection) A, with a variable color that has two modes, for instance color{light, dark}, and another file, or collection B, with another color-2{light, dark} Figma will not detect that they have a similar mode and will present two mode switchers, one for each color (see below) I’d like Figma to detect that those Collections share the same mode structure and group them in a single mode switch. It would be particularly useful for cases where you have items from several different brands in a single Frame but want to switch it easily to light or dark mode (a notion that all brand share). Hope that’s clear! (and it might all be made irrelevent by Extended collections…)

We have a video in our slide, but while presenting, there didn’t seem to be a way to restart the video (or pause it for that matter) - while running through the presentation to practice, we discovered that there were a few times when we’d get to that slide and the video would be halfway through already. Also, why is the Presenter Notes a thin grey bar at the bottom? That took us forever to find. 😦. Maybe add “Show Presenter Notes” to the Figma > View menu?

When I undo, I want undo only changes that I’ve made to a document, not what I’ve selected. I find the existing behavior to be unintuitive and counter to basically all other applications. However, I realize some people like it the way it is, so we can we get a user option to only include document changes in Undo?

Currently, the "Alt + WASD" shortcut for moving elements is designed for QWERTY layouts.  On French AZERTY keyboards, this becomes very awkward, since the natural movement keys are ZQSD instead of WASD.  Even when setting the keyboard layout to "French AZERTY" in Figma, the shortcuts remain QWERTY-based. This creates a big usability issue for AZERTY users, as one of the most practical shortcuts feels broken.  This would greatly improve the experience for all non-QWERTY users.   

So I am using view mode (on web browser) to see a figma file created by other designer. And it has a text which contains a link.  I can click that link to go to the destination, but I don’t want to do that. I want to copy the url of that link text. If I right click, it will only let me copy link of selection of the parent frame.Please, you should let viewer to copy the url embeded in a text. It’s crucial and very basic! Thanks.

Just a small inconvenience, and I know Figma auto-saves, but would be nice if you could ask “are you sure you want to quit” etc. if you accidentally use the keyboard shortcut to quit the desktop app.

Proposal:Enable users to save specific canvas views or areas as named "bookmarks" or presets. This would let designers jump to those areas instantly—without manual zooming or panning each time.Use Case:You're working within a large board or file and need to switch frequently between, say, “User Journey Flow,” “Header Components,” and “Footer Styles.” Instead of zooming and navigating manually, you could click on a saved view and be taken there immediately. Why it matters: Speeds up workflows, especially in complex or sprawling files. Improves navigation, reducing annoyance around repeated zooming and dragging. Supports presentation use cases, where you may need to jump to specific sections in front of stakeholders. Current workarounds: Plugins like Minimap or Saved Selections can simulate this behavior. Using dedicated frames or pages as manual navigation anchors. But no built-in native way to quickly switch between saved views exists at the moment Shoutout to chatGPT for rephr

Your software is a masterclass in how not to design an interface.I click one element, perform an action, then click another element to do the exact same thing, and the entire layout collapses.There is no way to diagnose what happened because your options auto-hide. There is no feedback, or clarity. Nothing but broken workflows.Stop trying to be clever. Stop chasing some illusion of minimalism that serves literally ZERO purpose.Hire developers who understand what predictable, reliable interfaces look like. For three decades, core UX standards have guided every serious design tool on the market. Your team ignored all of it and delivered a product that feels like fighting a shopping cart with a broken front wheel.You bury essential tools under layers of useless clicks while plastering non-critical stuff front and center. It is mind boggling.And your documentation is as useless as your interface. Answers are vague or incomplete. There’s no explanation as to WHY something does what it does

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this We need to control access to various areas of Figma, and Closed teams help, but it’s painful to have to add people individually. I would love the ability to group users into user groups (aha!) and bulk add them to teams with the correct permissions. Individual users could be added with more permissions, as a local override, but for the most part, we could just add these groups. This would help immensely with change management and onboarding, as well as maintaining access guardrails where appropriate. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Example: I want to add Designer X to our UXD user group. By default they gain edit access to all working teams. However, as part of that group, they’re only given view and library access to the Design System team. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or

Hi team,Variable modes are incredibly helpful for testing layout behaviors in the Editor. Typically, we duplicate frames and assign modes like Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile. While this works, it doesn’t extend well into Presentation mode.Currently: Presentation → Responsive works nicely with Auto Layout + min/max constraints. However, variable modes remain static—locked to whatever mode was manually applied to a frame. The existing “Auto” mode is limited to inheritance (children follow parent), but the parent itself still requires a manual mode switch. Feature Request:Introduce a real “Responsive Auto Mode” that automatically applies the correct variable mode based on the element’s width.  I know this might not be a fully realistic approach, since Figma can’t always know which numeric variable should be responsible for triggering a breakpoint.An alternative would be to add a “Responsive” toggle in the Variables panel, where the designer explicitly marks which variable (e.g. width, bre

I think that figma is being a complete all rounder tool as the days are going. As a UI designer I'd love to see some more changes in figma if it's possible.1. I know there's already a brush tool system. But i think that it'd be nice if we can see a complete brush tool with all the elements like masking and other stuff. using brush tool to create cool effects.2. More text styling options like illustrator. UI design nowadays knows no boundaries. to achieve that we need to do different types of styling of texts. there's a lot but there is some options missing, If those were in figma, it would have been cool.4. I know everything should not be free. But I think we should have a test of figma sites as starter plan user. If it's possible then consider it kindly.3. Lastly, I'd love to see a figma softwares AI image tracer which will trace images with all the color. trust me it is both helpful for graphics designers and UI designers.Thanks Figma team for the amazing surprises you bring up on ev

This is similar/related to an old post from 4 years ago:  I still am not seeing Descriptions shown in Dev Mode. I would expect to see it as a comment at least, or in the Properties view somewhere. This is so that a specific meaning/purpose we provide is visible for the engineers as well.Editing style: Dev Mode panel ☹️: 

Need recommendations for a reliable PET CT scan in Delhi. I’ve heard PET-CT combines two imaging techniques for more accurate results. Molecular Imaging & Therapy looks promising but I’d like to hear from someone who has actually been there. Info here: https://www.molecularit.com/services/PET_CT
