Share Your Thoughts

Hi Figma Support Team,I’d like to share some feedback about the process of handing off a Figma file from a designer to a client.I’m a freelance designer, and I recently tried to transfer a completed Figma file to my client. In the sharing settings, the client is now shown as the owner of the file, and I have removed myself from the file access list. However, I still seem to have admin/editor access from my side, while the client, who is listed as the owner, cannot edit the file.The only request I can see from the client is a Full seat request inside my personal team. As I understand it, approving this would add the client as a paid seat to my workspace. That is not the result I need for a client handoff. I don’t want to add the client to my team. I want to hand off the file so they can own and edit it on their side.I also read that one possible flow is for the client to create their own workspace/team, invite me to it, and then have the file moved there. In practice, this feels too com

I’m using figma for development meaning I’m using figma design files shared from a designer which they give me Edit access, I find using View mode more effective for me while developing i.e easier time getting the images sources, it just more convenient for more to use View mode instead, However There is no easy way I am aware of, to switch from edit to view mode other than sharing the file with to a different user and give them only view access.I selected this as a question, because I’m not exactly sure if there is an easier way.What i want is to be able to change between (Edit/View) modes in figma design files.

Would be nice to have a feature that allows to reset specific parts of an instance: Shadow Background color of a container Border of a container  ...

Please move AI the last in the list, personaly, I use the most often the Layers and the Assets. Now I have to make a jump.  

We've noticed several recurring issues after the latest Figma update, specifically within the update panel and related components. These bugs are affecting our daily workflow and reducing productivity for our team.Issues observed:Components in the update panel are not displaying correctly (misaligned, missing, or broken states) Certain component variants appear to reset or lose their properties after the update The update panel UI itself has rendering glitches (overlapping elements, incorrect spacing) Some interactive component states (hover, focus) are behaving inconsistentlyImpact:These small but frequent bugs interrupt design work and reduce confidence in the tool's reliability, especially when working with shared component libraries.Request:We kindly ask the Figma team to review the update panel and the associated component behavior introduced in the latest release, and to prioritize a fix/patch update as soon as possible to ensure a smooth experience for all users.Thank you for yo

Minor thing, but I noticed that I can only open the Check Designs settings if issues are found.Selection with issues:Selection with no issues: I think you could just keep the entire menu. I don’t mind seeing little 0s next to each category when it doesn’t find any issues. Regardless, the settings option should definitely show at all times when opening Check Designs.

A tool like Figjam would benefit so much from an Auto Layout feature. As a user, so often i’ll just duplicate a shape, which will often follow a horizontal or vertical flow. It makes sense that this would only be possible in Sections. At very least, you could have it as a Auto Layout “Lite”. You click on the Section, and you can choose the flow to be → or ↓ for new children in the parent section right? Duplicating a child in a section just places it over the previous shape, literally no one wants that. C’mon, let’s make this happen 😉

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.

Subject: Feature Request: Show Variable Usage Count Hello Figma Team 👋,I have a small suggestion that could improve designers' productivity.Please add a usage count for each Variable (Design Token) in the Variables panel. This would show how many times a variable is being used, so designers can quickly understand which variables are in use and which are not.This would help with:Finding unused variables Cleaning up design systems Avoiding accidental deletion of used variables Saving time when managing tokensI'm attaching a screenshot for reference.I would be happy if you could reply to my feedback.Thank you, and Happy Figma! 🎨✨Zahid

Having the same amount of text on the layer as in the layout text box seems like a waste of resources. Perhaps just the first 30 characters would be enough..? 

I’m constantly clicking on this by accident. Is there a way to disable this shortcut so it doesn’t appear on every single frame?

As a Figma user, i would like to have the ability to add “items” to components. For example, to add a new selection option in an overlaying menu component or adding a new row to a table component. Currently to achieve this ability i have to create sets of components with either many items already existing, or several ranges of items (5,10,15,20 items) this creates more components to manage and is not scalable. if i need to add more, i have to detach the component 😱 😱 😱 Here is an example of how i currently work: An awesome ability would be to also rearrange the items within the component (without breaking it!) I would love to see this feature and hope you will consider it. Thank you!

I need to create internal linking PDF exports; a multipage document with a table of contents that provides links to the relevant pages. If I use the link tool, the links generated in the exported PDF go to the web URL of the linked frames, and does not navigate to the page within the PDF. Using prototype linking does not generate any interactivity in the PDF at all. It would be useful for either the prototyping tool or link tool to generate interactive internally-linked PDF exports.

Hello 👋 First, I’m happy about the opportunity where I can make an impact on this amazing product. My idea is pretty simple but can make a huge difference in the way we share files with stakeholders and colleagues. I suggest adding the ability to give different access (viewer/editor) for pages within a Figma file. Because in most cases, we’re trying to include a whole project, feature, or function, whether small or big, in one Figma file - it becomes a real pain-point if the lowest level of grant permissions it’s the file itself instead of the pages within the file. I’m sure a lot in this community can agree with me that many times you gave people access - it was relevant to certain areas of the file, and less to other areas. I want to give content writers access to a specific page where they can edit and review content. I want to give developers access to a specific page where they can play with responsive layers and explore edge-cases. I want to leave experiments (Some would

Hello, I tried Figma slides to re-create my portfolio, which I had already created in Figma, because I was attracted by the possibility to quickly reorder the slides. However, I noticed a problem: while I can create internal links in Figma slides which allow me to jump from a slide to another, when I export said slides as a PDF, the internal links are substituted with external links which jump back to the Figma website when clicked, instead of allowing you to navigate through the PDF inside your own pdf viewer. This is a problem for various reasons: you can’t easily navigate around the .pdf offline, since each time you click the supposedly internal links you instead get redirected to a web page; the offline .pdf and the online version can be out of sync. Meaning that the offline versions, which may be several and have different slide orders or different elements (it’s common practice to slightly tweak a portfolio when you send it to different clients) will all point to the same figmas

So I like to use tables inside my FigJam file to track work that I’ve done on a project. I have a list of things to do inside a cell in the table, and I use the “thumbs-up” sticker to mark that things are done. But if I later add rows to the table, the stickers I’ve placed on the table shift down to keep their position relative to the dimensions of the entire table. I think a better behaviour would be for stickers to keep their position relative to the cell of the table they’ve been placed on, similar to how they try to stick to the edge of a sticky note.

In Figma Capture, the left-side “Figma Capture” logo/label looks like a clickable button because it is placed in the same toolbar style as Capture page and Select element.At first, I clicked it multiple times thinking it was a button, but later realized it is only the logo/branding and not clickable. For normal users, this can be confusing because it looks like an action item.A small improvement could be to make the logo area visually different from the buttons, add more separation, or remove the button-like styling so users can clearly understand what is clickable and what is not.

Has anyone else needed to dynamically update the copyright year in their designs? Whether it's for a website footer, a presentation deck, or maybe a timestamp, it's tedious to manually update them to ensure they stay current.It would be incredibly useful if we could fetch a native {Current Date/Time} token directly within the value field of a "set variable" action.Imagine being able to write a simple expression like:"Copyright © " + {Current Date: YYYY} + " MyCompanyName"This feature would be a massive quality-of-life improvement.Additionally, it will also be great if an “Onload” Trigger can be added so these variables are available without any delay. 

Currently there is a huge limitation in prototyping possibilities because any dropdown menus appear underneath the following element in the autolayout flow. I can’t remove autolayout because it would break designs across all useage of design system components and we can’t properly demo prototypes. Anchored by the lack of a customizable z-index property.

We can connect a table with any other object in the FigJam using an arrow. But often I am trying to connect row items from a table with another table in FigJam. As soon as I make changes to table content the arrow don’t move. I would be nice to drop the source or destination end of arrow to a Row or column.

Managing local variables is pretty cumbersome and buried in menus. Bringing over the variable window found in Figma, would be big help in managing local variables.

I’d really like to be able to lock a layer, but continue to work on its child layers. This would be particularly useful when working within a layer within an auto-layout.

QOL feature request.I will never want AI in my workflow and it’s just kept being marketed to me which takes me out of the flow. It also gets very tedious to block these features one by one with a browser extension.It would be a very useful and friendly feature to make Figma account fully AI-free with a single toggle. I’d make it up to my team members if they want to use AI, so I wouldn’t make this a team/org level setting.

Could it be handsome to be able to extract a component from a design ?Because of our current process (no design system) we all do things similar a lot and it is a little difficult to produce a components library.Be able to extract a component directly form a design (with a direct replacement of what was extracted with corresponding instance) would be handsomely helping to build our design system more quickly.

There has been a new update that moved the publish button inside the assets tab. I work mostly in the files tab, where all the pages are and am used to publishing from that. Now it's been buried inside assets tab which I hardly even look when in the library file itself. Can the publish button just be in a place that it's visible at all times?
