I’m not sure why this product is so disjointed.  integration is flimsy at best.

Hi, I absolutely love Figma Slides, but there are still some caveats (like the usage of variables that is missing). So here's the next one; editing and presenting from a mobile device using the Figma app. Whether it will be a standalone app or a feature in the current one, I want it, I need it, actually.Especially the editing part, I would like to be able to do that on tablet (it's 2025 guys, even keynote and powerpoint have it). Thanks :)

When overriding a single element inside a slot in a component instance, Figma marks the entire slot as overridden. As a result, updates made to the main component no longer propagate to any elements inside that slot — even if only one element in the slot was actually changed. Expected behaviorOnly the modified element should be treated as overridden.All other elements inside the slot should remain linked to the main component and continue to receive updates.

Hi! First of all-- congratulations on the release of CMS! I’m already super excited to create stuff with it and I’ve been playing around with it this morning. Hereby my humble feature requests for the future of CMS!Categories and tags with separate pages for their content. Search and date picker (for events) functionality. I would love to see component swapping supported inside CMS, so that I can pick a different component per CMS article if I want to highlight it on my list with a special component for example. (A feature like this would be ~ incredibly ~ powerful.) Or/and, the ability to change page variables in a CMS item, so you can for example change the colors of the page based on the variables set in the item. The ability to connect CMS fields to the SEO, so you can attach a meta description and social sharing image to each CMS article. The ability to hide CMS items from lists but still have them in your database and vi

Hi, I’m looking for a faster way to apply a variable without having to open the dropdown every time. It would be very helpful if we could simply type something like #80 to quickly apply a variable. This would speed up the workflow a lot. Thanks!

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

I would like to be able to move existing groups within collections in variables.e.g. i’ve created group ‘paddings’ and realised later that i’d like to move it into a different collection (from ‘brand’ to ‘responsive’). At the moment I have to manually re-enter all the values. Pain in the butt if you don’t get your design system right at first go.I would like to be able to just drag and drop.

hey so im loving figma make ive built a few websites just by prompting but what i am confused about is why figma make and figma sites are 2 separate things i saw there is going to be an update to figma sites to be able to point and edit specific things but im just wondering where that then leaves figma make because now a couple of my websites are done i want to transfer them from figma make to figma site incase i want to make specific changes manually without prompting i just find the whole figma make and figma site separation confusing 

I want to be able to reference a frame from my design system file in a Site, for example.That way the only place I need to update a design is in my design file, not in the site. (or vice versa)

In Slides, presenter mode currently only supports dark theme.However, I have trouble reading white text on a dark background — the text blurs. It's similar to how I struggle driving at night due to light blurring.This is an accessibility issue. Could you implement a light theme option for presenter mode?Thank you!

The Problem: Hours Lost to Manual Data EntryIn my daily design workflow, my team frequently builds extensive, spreadsheet-like grids for presentations. Currently, I spend hours generating realistic cell data (using external AI tools) and manually copy-pasting hundreds of individual values into Figma component inputs.The Constraint: Strict Enterprise Plugin PoliciesWhile I know community plugins exist for data generation, they are not an option for my team. My organization operates under strict security policies and has globally banned almost all third-party plugins. To solve this at an enterprise level, we desperately need a native, out-of-the-box solution within Figma.The Proposed Solution: Native Generator FunctionsI propose adding native "Generator Functions" that can be linked directly to a component’s property inputs, operating similarly to how we currently apply variables.Here is how the

I'm really enjoying the Actions menu! It would be awesome to have the option to access the Assets tab directly as well, just like we can currently access the Assets left panel with a keyboard shortcut. This way, we could set a custom shortcut to open the Assets tab directly from the Actions floating menu.  ​@Figma_Desktop🙏

You can currently set multiple stroke colours to an object, but they will share the same properties (thickness, position, etc.). My idea is that you should be able to set all stroke properties on each stroke: Make sense or am I missing something?

Depending on the art the ruler guides are displayed on top of, the inability to change the color of the guides is also an issue. They seem to be a low opacity, which doesn’t make any sense at all to me with how I use ruler guides. Ruler guides are toggled on and off as needed. Why would I want the ruler guides to be unobtrusive and almost impossible to see? This is a real accessibility issue for designers using the Figma app. Figma needs to implement real accessibility controls by letting us select the color of UI elements such as ruler guides.

When you have a section selected, no colors show in the right-hand panel by default. So you click the “show colors” button and instead of showing you the colors, it gives a little preview of just 3 or so colors, and then you have to click again to show all the colors - this time with no prompt.What gives? Why make this take 2 clicks to see the damn colors? Also the second state takes up even less space than the first, just combine them into one so there’s a prompt for the user and a preview, or default to the second state from the beginning! Or the first state, frankly it doesn’t matter much its just annoying that its 2 clicks. Who would ever be like “Oh these 3 randomly chosen colors with no labels are exactly what I wanted to see here, all done.”UX rant over thanks.

Hey everyone,As a product designer working with a pretty large internal design system, I kept hitting the same limitation in Figma Variables: they’re great for static values, but the moment you want a scalable system (spacing scale, type scale, radii, opacity variants, responsive values…), you end up maintaining a ton of derived variables manually… or in spreadsheets.Variables Plus — a plugin that lets you define relationships between variables using formulas, so derived values stay in sync automatically when the base variable changes.Examples: space_2 = space_1 * 2, space_3 = space_1 * 3 h1 = base_font * 2.25, h2 = base_font * 1.75 col_w = (container_w - (gutter * (cols - 1))) / cols

When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

People have been complaining about this for years. I have to add ® and ™ to strings of text in my artboards. The superscript version of the character must be the same size as the rest of the text string, or it will not be vertically aligned properly with the rest of the text. The ®™ symbols are much too large, especially in headlines, but if you reduce the font size of that character, it drops down too low and is no longer in the superscript position. In Sketch or any other proper app, you can adjust the baseline of the specific character (baseline shift) so that you can re-align it properly. You can EASILY accomplish this in CSS and create specific styling for the “sup” tag which handles this in code. Why is it nearly impossible to replicate what is easy in any other app in Figma? I’ve seen people complaining about this since 2018, so I take that as an assumption that Figma will never fix this issue? The only way to get a properly aligned and size

Hi, I absolutely love that we get to customize our sticky colors, but the text color is not adjustable and is not auto set to meet wcag standards for color contrast for text, making text difficult to see. The example below shows text color choice should have been black instead of white. Is this adjustment in any of your upcoming updates?  

Is it possible to map the HUG or FILL to a variable. It would be great to not only assign particular width values, but also set the width to either hug or fill the container.

Currently, when using variables, in the settings you can’t select wether you want a value (for example, padding-sm) to apply to just the padding or the gap of an auto layout. Which means that when you want to select a gap variable, it shows all the padding values as well. Can we get a setting for this?

Whether you are a major corporation or an emerging startup, you would have to decide which design system to utilise for your UX mockups.Do you choose a tried-and-true one like MUI or Carbon, which has a wide variety of created and produced components that are quick to implement but lack your brand's distinctive feel and representation?Or Do you choose an entirely original system that you build and install from the ground up to best represent your brand in terms of colour, font, iconography, and other elements that really set you apart?Let's examine the peculiar argument between Sir UI Kit and Captain Custom to see what works best for you.Consistency vs.
