Share Your Thoughts

The idea is to have “synchronized sections” (see Notion Synchronized Blocks) →I often need to have the same content in several files (maps, etc.), and synchronized sections would save me from having to maintain them all.  Notion Example:  

When we share links to prototypes in Figma Design, we can customize the sharing to be visible to people outside of our company (great for usability testing). Permissions for slide presentations have to be set at the slide file level, which is annoying when you have the presentation open and you want to just adjust the sharing permissions from right inside the dialog.

Hello,Excited to start using Figma Slides as a presentation tool. I’m glad to see some animation features here, but two big ones that seem to be missing are “With Previous” and “After Transition” on object animations. The current options are “On click” and “After Previous,” but I often want a bunch of disparate objects to animate at the same time rather than in sequence. I can get around this by grouping those objects together, but that makes editing and general organization a pain. “With Previous” would solve for this.“After Transition” applies to animations that I want to happen as soon as the new slide loads. Again, I can overcome this by using “On Click” and try to remember to quickly double-click when an affected slide is loaded, but that causes awkward pauses in motion.Thanks for your consideration!

Yellow attention banner - why must the whole organisation see this? Can the message be only shown to admins and not the whole team as we are flooded with emails and chat messages about it plus you can see the email addresses and the names of the responsible persons. We suggest to not annoy the whole team with this.

It would be good to have the Logitech MX Master Series mouse to have functionality with the horizontal scroll wheel when panning through Figma Files.

Fractional units and hugs are definitely a welcome addition to Grids, but what’s still missing is the ability to assign both the number of columns/rows and colspan/rowspan to variables.We’ve defined our website breakpoints as modes so we can build components that automatically adapt to the viewport (for example, a 50/50 layout that stacks on mobile). Right now, the only way to achieve this is by storing fixed column-width values for each breakpoint and use them in combination with horizontal auto-layout. It works, but it defeats the whole purpose of Figma’s grid system.Assigning variables directly to the grid would allow every component using that grid to automatically adapt based on its current mode (breakpoint). This would make creating mockups across different breakpoints significantly faster and more efficient.

Hello! 🤠I was very excited to see the addition of Auto Layout Grid today! Having flexibility for both Rows and Columns at the same time is a game changer.That said, I immediately ran into not being able to set a column width to “Hug” within a table, which is a bummer. In the attached video, I want the “Audited By” column to Hug to the longest table cell content. I show both the current solution today, and what I am trying to do with Auto Layout Grid.I can manually adjust the width of the column, I guess, but as you can see, it makes it hard to ensure correct padding without a lot of careful tuning of the width. Anyone have any solutions? Will this be coming as a fast-follow feature? Thank you!

In Figma desktop, it would be super helpful to group to tag different tabs. With many files open it is hard to find and organize the tabs I am working on. I often have around 20 tabs open. Similar to how chrome groups tabs. 

A new left rail was added with some new AI prompting features in Figma Design. In this layout I’d like to have access to the icon for Review Unpublished Changes from the Pages/Layers tab in the same placement as it is on the Assets tab. Functionally, I’d like the icons in the header to be the same on both tabs with Minimize UI and Review Unpublished Changes always existing in the same place. I’ve selected Minimize UI more times than I care to admit when I really wanted the Review action instead. Also, I’d remove the X close button from Assets as it’s unnecessary. 

In the design handoff process, we use annotations to communicate changes or emphasize specific specs. However, when the design canvas is large and contains many elements, it's difficult to notice the position or even the existence of annotations.It would be very helpful if, upon clicking the "comment" button, a comment panel appeared on the right side, showing all comments in a list view that can be sorted and filtered. Ideally, clicking on an item in this list would take the user directly to the corresponding location on the canvas.I suggest considering an update that adds a "tab" or similar functionality to the comment panel for better visibility and navigation of annotations.

I would love the ability to go into a mobile view in the Presentation mode inside of Make. As we demo our prototypes to clients, the app is configured for mobile but I cannot present in that format. 

I want to duplicate a welcome file and a read me file to all of the dozens of teams in my Figma Enterprise workspace. I have to write a script to do that now. Why can’t I just right click the file and select Duplicate to… and a modal with a multiple selection list of all my teams and a “Duplicate” button? It would work similar to how Move file works now, just with “Duplicate to...”.

Dear Figma developers,I set up many micro-interactions to my buttons in Figma but once I assign an action to it, like navigating to another page after tapping, the prototype jumps straight to the next page, instead of having a delay for the button animation to play. I don't want the animation to happen on mouse over or hovering, just on tapping. Also, I wouldn't like to have to duplicate pages just to work around this issue. It would be much easier to include the after delay option to the on tap option. IMHOThank you very much!

Some times i feel this mobile device should have opacity option fade out in background, when we hover it will active again ! What do you think of that? . Just a rough thought.

I’m now making presentations for my company in Figma Slides (moving from InDesign) and while I love Figma for its intuitive UI, component systems and collaborative features, I’m finding it to be a huge pain that there isn’t any way to create a simple text reflow from one text box to another. I make word-heavy, 60+ page slides and text reflow is necessary to keep things aligned. Please prioritize building out this feature as it’s essential for any designer working with text, especially in Figma Slides.  

It could be very useful, to include “Annotation” in the search feature, for matching text and show them in the search result list.

Org. Admin features our account would like to have:1) Org. Admins should be able to take control of hidden teams. 2) Org. Admins should be able to view what sites or Makes are published 3) There should be a visual distinction between hidden and invite only teams. 4) Export logs should provide more detail, like we can tell if a full file was exported vs. a frame within a file. 5) Workspace admins should not be able to remove a licensed user from the account. 6) There should be an in-app request/approval workflow for users to request new teams (when control is at the org. admin level) or moving teams across workspaces.

We have an extensive content system that lives separately from Figma but is used to craft our UI copy. While people will and do consult the system, if they don’t remember to check, the UI copy doesn’t always follow the rules. It would be amazing if we could import this like a style, a library, or as a Connector so that our Figma Make output is checked against that guidance and the results are much closer to a high-fidelity design.  On the flip side of this, managing content strings in Figma for an entire UI is a pain. The content quickly diverges between design iterations and tracking which is the latest and greatest copy is difficult. It would be awesome if there was a way to export/import/sync existing content with other tools - like GitHub repos or Ditto - for better changetracking, translation workflows, etc. Heck, I’d even take a Google spreadsheet at this point. Testing out copy iterations within a design is working much better, fo

After working in depth with using design systems created in Figma Design that are exported to Figma Make I have run into a lot of challenges with getting things to work smoothly. I am wondering if it would not be helpful to allow users to create a design system within Make to be used in Make projects. I usually end up doing a lot of tweaking after importing my design systems to get them right in Make, to the point that it feels like it might be easier to just start from scratch in Make and produce exactly the components I want and from there I would love to be able to export that into a perfect functional design system. I am not a developer but logic is telling me that if Make already knows the code components and tokens, colors etc, it could be able to a produce a better design system than what I export from Figma Design.

Just built a pitch deck to present to clients using Figma Slides and decided to start using object animations to add a bit of flare. I was sad to learn that Figma used the same “Start” animation choices as Powerpoint which is (1) Start on Click (2) Previous to last animation.We need more options. The biggest one is just add the same prototype prompt of “After Delay” on object animations. The other one is give us more choices then “Slide” and “Fade”. Add, the standard animations that most apps have, like spin and make 3D and more...

(Current list of Figma Make Connectors)The Figma Make Connectors are exciting but unfortunately, the current list doesn’t include any tools my team could use today. What other tools are on the future roadmap? Would love for Shortcut to be sooner rather than later, that would really accelerate my team ideation phase and encourage more thorough ticket writing from everyone. TIA!

Add a laser pointer to the board so it would be easier for the presenter to direct the attention of audiences to specific parts without the need to actually underline, write, circle etc on the board.

When you right click to view details about a variable within the variables panel, I would like to see if that variable is being used in my file and where.  Today my devs asked about a variable that I sent over via the TokensStudio Figma plugin. It was just called “default” and they weren’t sure what it was for. I must have created it by accident but now I don’t know if I used it for anything or not. I just deleted it but it may have been connected to something. I have no way of finding out.

Sidebar sections are crucial for our team. We recently downgraded from Organization to Professional and the sidebar sections were removed. I understand they are only for Organization and Enterprise plans, but I ask that you make them available to all paid plans, since there are many organizations with smaller teams who cannot afford Organization or Enterprise plans.

Hello! I haven’t found such a feature, but it would be convenient I think:make another input instead of C hotkey, cursor changes to comment cloud with mic icon on click voice record starts user dictates comment Speech to Text like OpenAI Whisper transcribes text from speech comment looks like a usual text comment and can be edited Well, in case if this won’t get attention, I’ll make it a plugin for myself. Thanks and have a nice day!
