It would be super cool to be able to work on slides both in Slides AND in the FigJam where most workshop content is in. I imagine some kind of widget-y solution, where you can add one or more slides to the FigJam, for both viewing and editing directly in the FigJam. That way we don’t have to shuffle between numerous files, but can gather everything related to the project in a repository kind of format. That’s all. On my wishlist ✨

In our organization we use Figma on an Enterprise plan, and we manage a large number of users coming from a broader international company structure. When users request a paid seat (Full, Dev, or Viewer with collaboration), they can currently add a note for the admin, which is helpful on their side.What is missing for us is the reverse: a way for admins to show a short configurable message to the requester at the moment they ask for a seat. This message could: Indicate who to contact (e.g. a specific Microsoft Teams channel or an email address for our design tooling team). Provide a short checklist of what to verify before sending the request (correct account, correct workspace, business justification, cost center, manager approval, etc.). Clarify how the approval flow works in a large enterprise context (for example, “Your request will only be processed after you or your manager contact us on Teams with X/Y info”). Because of the size of our company, we get a high volume of seat re

ya’ll I am in the weeds right now. 😩 my fellow designer and i audit each other’s designs to make sure we’ve covered all our bases as looking at your own design for months makes you blind to some things 🫠 this means we “@” each other and make comments on any place that is missing a variable, needs a design tweak, or addresses logic concerns. you know what this also means? 100+ comments in one Figma file across multiple pages wherever we have assets built problems: i try to resolve comments one at a time in the order that they were commented. this means i open and close the comment panel. once i close it, the scroll resets and i have to scroll all the way down and manually search for the comment i was just on. I can type a keyword - but I’m trying to also resolve the next comment where i’m mentioned. although you can open a comment within a mini window and toggle back and forth through the comments in this window, it automatically closes when you resolve it instead of go

The filter to find variable fonts in Figma is fairly useless. Every font that has a font weight is considered ‘variable’.If you ask me - we should be able to filter further down, by selecting the properties we want to manipulate to find fonts that have those properties.And...let’s just say fonts that have the standard bold/italic modifiers should be removed from the ‘variable’ font list.

Good morning ! Given that we can put keywords in a description for each variant, is it possible to display the variants directly in the asset list, in relation to the words entered and present in the description? Because currently if we enter a description in each variant of a component, when we type a search with words present in a description of a variant, it only displays the main component directly and not the direct variant. Thx you !

When working with local variables and tokens I find myself constantly opening and closing the local variables panel. It would be nice to have a shortcut added for displaying and hiding that panel. If there is not a shortcut added in first version, then this action could be listed in the MacOS menu bar as a command, so that a custom MacOS shortcut could be added,

Create tags that can be added to post it notes for user research analysis

When viewing a spec, the big blue button is to request a full seat instaed of logging in or viewing the spec, which is the most likely case. This results in constant accidental ‘so and so as requested a full seat’ daily. Its the most annoying thing in the world and causes mistakes from my team members approving it.

Add support for mobile configuration profiles on macOS. These are profiles that can be deployed to computers to centrally manage application settings in a secure, consistent, and tamper-resistant way.Currently, settings can only be managed by administrators by placing a plist file in ~/Library/Preferences or /Library/Preferences. This approach requires additional overhead, as admins must package and deploy scripts or installer files to enforce configurations. It also introduces risk, since users can modify or overwrite these preference files locally.Supporting mobile configuration profiles would allow these settings to be defined and enforced via standard macOS device management workflows (e.g., MDM). Profile-based settings are stored in the system’s managed preferences database and applied through the configuration profiles framework, rather than relying on user-editable plist files. This ensures settings are enforced at the system level and cannot be easily altered by end users.Apple

 Mostly I like to use figma on browser (with fullscreen) just because it has more space, because there is no tabbar on browser. So, my suggestion is, there should be an option to hide topbar (or tabbar) on figma app, so users on smaller screen like macbook air will have more canvas view. Most people keep open a single tab, Why to waste entire screen width with tabbar?.Something like “Dock” on mac os. You can hide it, but when mouse hovers on that area it will be shown.  

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

Variables is powerful, “Without needing the designer to fill variables manually”Can a Figma bring it in a new way: We design 3–4 screens AI detects: Color patterns Spacing scale Typography hierarchy Then auto-generates: Tokens Components Variants This is realistic because it’s pattern recognition by AI  

Same as in Slack or Outlook, would like to not trouble my commentees at odd hours and just send the comments I make outside of hours , inside office hours!

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

With the increasing popularity of iPads among creative professionals and the device's capabilities now rivaling many laptops — especially with Apple Pencil support and desktop-class processors — it’s surprising that a leading design platform like Figma hasn't released a fully functional iPad app. Is this a matter of strategic prioritization, where Figma believes the current user base doesn’t demand it strongly enough to justify development resources? Or is it due to technical limitations, perhaps stemming from the complexities of maintaining feature parity with the desktop/web version on iPadOS? Alternatively, is Figma's vision more aligned with a cloud-first, desktop-class browser experience, where portability across devices takes a backseat to collaborative infrastructure? If so, does this approach overlook the rising trend of mobile-first or tablet-based design workflows? It would be insightful to understand if Figma simply hasn't seen enough ROI or user behavior validation to green

I’m trying to build an iOS app in Make to use very specific features and behaviors that Swift has, one of them being Dynamic Type. Is there a way for me to tell Make to use Swift instead of tailwind and react?

TL;DR: Today, only Variant properties can be set directly by prototype interactions. For Boolean, Text, and Instance Swap, the only path is to bind the property to a global variable and use Set variable from outside. This means component behavior cannot be encapsulated inside the component itself — which has become a structural blocker now that Figma is positioning its files as the source of truth for AI-generated code and apps. The proposalExtend the `Change to` action (or add a new Set property action) so that any component property — Boolean, Text, Instance Swap — can be set directly by a prototype interaction defined inside the component itself. Same mental model as Variant, applied to all property types. The interaction would travel with the component, and each instance would maintain its own independent state. The strategic misalignmentThere is a growing gap between Figma's product direction and what its component model can actually express.On the output side, Config 2025 doubled

Hi Figma team 👋This is a feature request for a Radial Layout system, distinct from Radial repeat.Instead of repeating a single object, this would allow arranging multiple distinct elements along an arc or full circle with: configurable angle range (e.g. 90°, 180°, 360°) controlled spacing/distribution along the curve automatic tangential alignment of each item The goal is to support structured radial compositions, similar to Auto Layout but for circular structures, useful for: UI card stacks / carousels radial menus motion design layouts circular visualizations This would make radial UI patterns much faster and more consistent to build natively.

Hello Figma Team,I would like to request a feature where clicking a layer/frame in the left sidebar automatically centers or zooms the canvas to that selected object.This would be very helpful for large projects with many layers and frames, making navigation much faster and more efficient.Currently, users need to manually use shortcuts like Shift + 2 after selecting a layer.Suggested option: Add a preference setting: "Auto focus canvas when selecting layer" Thank you.

Exactly what the title says. Figma already has a powerful API. Figma Sites is a great starting point but is missing a lot of functionality. Something missing in the new CMS is the ability to add data to the CMS using a REST API.Can the Figma team have a look at this? I think it would increase the value of the product. Best regards,R.

Id love to have scroll position as a variable so that i can make paralax effects and prototype interactions based on how far i have scrolled down a page. I know the new site feature offers paralaxing but why not include it in figma design so that i can show my prototypes fully functional.

Hey everyone. I am Alexander and I built a plugin called Design System Sync. I was honestly just tired of manually copying variables over to developers every time I changed a simple hex code. So basically I made a tool to fix this massive pain point.The plugin grabs your Figma design tokens and variables. Then it automatically creates a pull request in GitHub or Bitbucket with the updated code. Your developers just review the code changes and hit merge.Here is what it can do for your workflow:Automatic PR generation saves you from sending zip folders or raw text files on Slack.W3C Design Tokens and CSS Variables support means it works with most modern code setups.Multiple mode export handles your light and dark themes perfectly.Visual change detection shows exactly what you modified before you send it off.The free tier gives you 5 exports a month and includes all the export formats.The pro tier is $10 a month and adds unlimited exports plus AI code generation.Figma Community: https://w

I'd like to suggest a feature that allows users to select all objects connected by arrows or connectors in FigJam.Use case: When working with diagrams or flowcharts, it's often useful to select a group of connected nodes—for example, to move, style, or reorganize a specific flow within a larger diagram.Suggested behavior:Right-click a connector or node → "Select connected objects" Or: select a node, then use a shortcut/menu option to expand the selection along its connectionsThis would be especially helpful for large FigJam boards where manually selecting linked objects is time-consuming.Would love to hear if others have found workarounds, or if this is already on the roadmap!

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 (e.g. container_w=1200, gutter=24, cols=12) “Copy values across modes” to keep modes consistent (instead of duplicating & updating by hand) If you want to try it, the fastest way is to duplicate the demo file: Plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1607106236822235286/variables-plus De

I find the thumbnail is slow to update and often doesn’t update for days (at all?). A work around has been to choose “Restore default thumbnail” and then “Set as thumbnail” on the desired frame. The thumbnail has become an important feature to me and I use it to convey information to my team. The inconsistent thumbnail updates are a little problematic. Suggested solution: an option in the right-click menu for the file to “Refresh thumbnail”.
