I’ve just seen that I can’t get back to the instance I was just working on by clicking on the “Return to Instance” button.

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.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

In Figjam - When adding a new node from an existing one, Holding down SHIFT (or any reasonable hotkey) should reverse the arrow to point in to the current node.This will reduce/ eliminate the work to reverse the arrows while making diagrams.  

Hi,We have thousands of icons as components in our library that should not be linked via Code Connect.It would be great to have a way to multi-select them and apply a batch action, such as “Skip connection”.At the moment, I would need to click on each icon, select “Skip connection” on the next screen, then go back to the list… Something like this, used in combination with filtering by name would be great!Thanks

I’ve already started using the new slots and I find them amazing, but I think it’s very limiting to prevent the use of grid layout. 

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

How can I view Figma prototypes on my mobile, or is that currently only for web desktop?When I copy the share link and open in on my mobile, it opens up in a very small view and completely unusable on phone.

SummaryExpose presenter notes as a read/write property on SlideNode in the Plugin API, so plugins and MCP servers can programmatically get and set presenter notes for Figma Slides.Proposed APIinterface SlideNode { // ... existing properties ... presenterNotes: string // read/write access to the slide's presenter notes}Use CaseI'm using the figma-slides-mcp server to create and edit Figma Slides presentations programmatically from AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). The MCP server can already create slides, set text, clone templates, reorder slides, and take screenshots, all through the Plugin API.The one important gap is presenter notes. When generating a slide deck programmatically, the presenter notes (speaker script, talking points, timi

Some quick context: I recently created a basic Figma slides template. After using the template & theme to create an actual presentation, I identified some new slides that I would like to include into the original template. When copy pasting the slides that used the template into the original template file, it created a duplicate template with the same name for the slides that were pasted in, even though they used the original theme of the template. The main issue I have here is that when swapping the template to the original, it randomly shuffles the colors. So I have to adjust the entire slide. I feel like updating templates over time based on real usage is pretty common, and the current behavior makes it rather awkward. Thanks!

Hi,When I want add a PDF to a Figjam board I see a modal window with a few options (see attachment). I do not always want to convert the PDF. And when I want to convert the PDF I noticed that the file is not converted the correct way. Is there a way to add PDF without converting? 

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.

I want to pay for the design of the Figma Make AI, but I don't want to pay for the subscription, as I'm not a web designer and I don't think I'll be using Figma for any other projects anytime soon.That's why I need to know if it's possible to pay only for the finished product and not the monthly/annual fee.Thanks in advance,

Thanks for adding annotations to Design Mode. I have been spending the last day annotating some new design ideas. People who have access to the Figma file love that they can read come design rationale and interaction behaviors. For others, who do not have access, or do not use Figma it would be great if I can export the annotations associated with objects inside a frame.  Thanks, K.

I'm using a chat agent to prototype my designs. But currently in Figma mobile app, it only allow me to view and comment on my canvas. I cannot select the frame and share the frame link to my chat agent as a reference for vibe coding. The workaround of request desktop app from Browser crashes all the time. Please enable the feature to be compatible with the recent AI trends.

I’d like to suggest the ability to expose fill properties—specifically image and color fills—as editable component properties in Figma. Use Case: In designing components like cards, avatars, or thumbnails, it’s common to have a placeholder image or color that needs to be customized per instance. Currently, to change the fill, I have to drill down into the component’s layers and manually adjust the fill, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.  Proposed Solution: Allow fills (both image and color) to be exposed as component properties, similar to how text and instance swaps are handled. This would enable users to change fills directly from the right-hand properties panel when selecting a component instance, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency. Benefits:  Simplifies the process of customizing components with different images

Why figma do not copy comments with page or element. when i copy some object that have client comment or feedback.

 it’s been months since this issue above was reported and asked, and i saw a solution here  however it’s too tedious and it’s not even responsive. i also have to create it on each page. When would devs add overlay feature on figma sites? overlay is such a basic animation on all sites. i only have free tier for school is the overlay feature locked behind a paywall?

So currently there is no Desktop app (except the unofficial version) for Linux, which is very sad! We need official desktop App for the linux. 

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.

Currently, in Figma Make, the code versioning shows only the line counts added or removed (+/-), butdoes not allow viewing the actual lines of code that changed between versions. To review codechanges, developers have to restore old versions, which risks losing progress.Feature Request:- Add a “diff view” for code files, showing added/removed/changed lines similar to GitHub or VSCode.- Keep the diff view read-only so restoring is optional.- Optional: support side-by-side diff view for easier review.Benefit:This would make code reviews in Figma Make safer and faster, reducing the need to restore oldversions and potentially lose work.

I work in a large design team (50 designers) in a fast-growing company. The product is complex and has many different flows and variations. I often find myself wanting to find a specific screen in Figma from a specific part of the product. If we had a great index internally that we kept very well groomed, this wouldn’t be a challenge. But it is not the case. Most of the time, I really on asking in Slack if anyone knows where I can find a recent-ish version of this or this in Figma, wait, and 50% of the time another designer finds something. What if we could do reverse image search in Figma like we do in Google? I screenshot a part of my product I use it the reverse search in Figma Figma shows me the files, and where in the files, that have designs that match very closely my screenshot I can grab my screen and start designing!

Figma Team, Data Scientists like me are praying for you guys to develop a data visualization node! you’re missing so much by not providing so. Power BI, Tableau and the other softwares are so square in design and usability terms. I’ve been copy pasting my charts into Figma for the past month and you guys are definitely a level up if we talk about presentation.

As a grad student a data visualization tool is so needed! I love using Figma for all things deliverable-wise but I desperately need a better data viz interface to create meaningful artifacts. I’m currently pixel pushing my way through building my own graphs and bar charts. Figma, please help your beloved grad students!! <3

Currently auto layout arranges layers from bottom up, i.e. the lower most layer in the layers list appears on top of every other layer on the workspace. This creates two problems 1. Confusion There’s a clear confusion of the order of layers shown in the layers menu and the representation in the workspace. This requires a bit of getting
