I was very excited to hear that grids were coming to Figma. CSS Grid was introduced years ago and brought with it many things that flexbox was incapable of doing, so I was hoping for a similar level of new capabilities here, and I genuinely cannot believe that this feature is being shipped in its current state (even as a ‘beta’). This is a very long post, but I feel like this feature has been implemented so poorly that it legitimately sows doubt in Figma’s capabilities to deliver features in the future.Inability to ‘hug’ contents Both rows and grids themselves are unable to resize themselves to match their contents (‘Hug”). Row heights must be either “Auto” (1fr) or a fixed height, meaning that if you want your rows to be sized per their elements, you’ve now manually defined each row height in px (not even a variable value), and instead of getting a clean CSS output, now you have however many rows defined in exact values, destroying any chance of scalability. This alone makes this fe

Components in my Figma style guide are named to match our Android Studio UI library conventions, which helps developers, but makes searching feel unintuitive for designers.It would be great to support two distinct name fields per component: a designer-friendly display name for search and browsing, and a developer name that maps to the code library. This would let both sides work in their native language without compromise.

Frequently, when facilitating a workshop in FigJam, it is necessary to gather open and honest feedback from attendees, such as during a retrospective/health check. In other tools, such as Miro, it is possible for people to provide opinions and vote on topics anonymously. Anonymity really helps to get people to express themselves and thus get the most constructive engagement. Having moved from Miro to FigJam the lack of this feature has proven really problematic and decreases the value we can get from the tool. There are some plug-ins that provide a limited version of this, however they require manually selecting each instance of the plug-in and selecting to reveal results, which is really inefficient and often for my purposes, unworkable as a solution.

The latest update is erasing my color styles. This is ridiculous—what's the point of releasing updates that don't work????? I'm fed up. Why???????

The new slots feature is awesome, and has been super helpful for my team. I have, however, run into a recurring issue.The outermost frame for a component can’t be a slot. If you have a slot it has to be a child of the component.This can cause some annoyance if I have a super simple thing where the only element in a component is a slot. With this I have to add auto-layout the component itself and add auto-layout to the slot, which is redundant. It can also cause problems because if I want to change the alignment of an auto-layout element, I have to make sure I’m clicking the correct one since there are two.Component layer which only has a slot child layer. 

Loving the addition of CMS to Figma Sites, however the options to add components or component instances to the CMS from a Design System would be incredible for using CMS for Design system documentation. Currently the title, rich text, link and image options are great but taking this to the next level with components would completely eliminate the need for 3rd party documentation platforms.

I believe it would be great to have the ability to create sections or pages within a Figma Buzz File. While I appreciate the ease of using the rows, I would greatly value the option to have distinct columns or sections dedicated to different campaigns within a single file.

We could have a “Update and show next” button near “Update instance” button that would significantly improve usability by allowing users to apply the update, briefly review it, and automatically move to the next item without extra navigation (I mean having to click the (>) button). It would be important to ensure that updates do not result in the loss of texts and icons, nor cause the appearance of components that were not intentionally selected. According to the design system team, Figma may sometimes lose component IDs depending on the type of update applied to the design system, which can lead to these issues. I would love if we could move over the file every time I navigate to the next component so I can see it in it’s real place without having to click thebutton. The problem I see here is, in a lot of situations components to be updated are actually hidden elements so, when the canvas navigate to it, I can only see the “selection box” but not the real component (Since it’s hidd

Hi all,Have you considered adding a feature to the auto layout “gap” feature that could allow a user to set a minimum gap i.e. 8px and a maximum gap i.e. 40px?I’ve recently needed this function for building bar graphs. I need to make them responsive without getting too small and overlapping on each other or too big when expanded.

Howdy, I’m a noob with dumb question. Where’s the dark theme mentioned on https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/5576781786647-Change-themes-in-Figma ? “Actions menu” doesn’t contain any of these: “Use dark mode”, “Use light mode”, “Use system theme”.And why should I, dumb user, even search this essential feature somewhere in sub-sub menus? Can you even find it yourself, intuitively, while your eyeballs are on fire?“Color profile” is not what I needed.

Please! Add padding between scroll bar and icons in the design side panel. Auto layout icon especially. I keep accidentally triggering the scrollbar when I try to click the icon. Can we add 8px or 12px of padding?

 Hi Figma team,I wanted to share some feedback based on my experience using the Organization plan, specifically around Dev seats, billing transparency, and external collaboration.1. Dev Seat Pricing vs Actual Charge (Proration Confusion)On the pricing page, a Dev seat is clearly listed as $25/month. However, when attempting to add a Dev seat, the upcoming invoice shows a charge of $175.89.While I understand this is likely due to prorated billing until the end of the billing cycle, this is not clearly communicated in the UI.Issue: The pricing page sets an expectation of a simple monthly cost The invoice shows a significantly higher amount without a clear breakdown Users are left confused and unsure if this is an error Suggestion: Show a clear cost breakdown before confirmation: Monthly price Proration period (e.g., “7 months remaining in billing cycle”) Total calculated cost Add a tooltip or inline explanation explaining why the price differs from $25 2. Lack of Cost

As the Admin in Figma I’m getting Dev or Collabseat requests frequently which are unintented. Figma makes it too easy for the people to request for a payed seat. This is a dark pattern and I do not expect this to see in such a business application. It’s very annoiny since I always need to double check if the request was intentionally (it never was until now). I expect figma to change that behavior. It cannot be that the most prominent button for a viewer is the “request” button. 

If you’re looking for dependable scientific instruments with international delivery options, check out ADAS Instruments (https://adasinstrumentsonline.com/). They offer a wide range of lab equipment — from analytical instruments to educational science tools — with detailed product descriptions and support. Their site makes it easy to compare items and place orders directly.

I would like to add images from my computer to Figma Make without prompting AI. I’d like to add it in manually as this would be much faster (and save the planet from burning GPUs).Is there a way to easily do this with code at the moment? Is this a feature Figma is working on?

I think that’s the new feature “nested components” need to be more functional. For example: I have a card with nested component button. But the only parameter that i need to edit is icon on this button, all other settings useless in this component. I thinks it will be cool if i can disable some of nested component’s paramters like show icon or btn size and leave only icon-type parameter. And it will be more cool if i can make preferred icons for nested component (in this card i can choose between filled like or unfilled)

Hi Figma team,I recently created a Figma site for my app and really love the experience.However, I need to upload a file called app-ads.txt to the root of my domain. This file is required by AdMob to verify ownership of the app and allow us to display ads.Is there any way to host or upload this file directly in a Figma site?Thanks in advance!

As a developer, I would like to be able to sort the “Ready for development” section in the left pane by most recent changes.This way I could know what changed more easily than having to scroll through hundreds of elements trying to find what might be relevant.  

I think that when there are only two options, a drop-down menu is unnecessary; instead, we could opt for other options that speed up the process, as they don’t require two clicks to make a selection.

In FigJam, it makes sense that tables have a computed size based on the size of the rows and columns. However, in slides, it might make more sense to have width and height be a fixed properties of the table. I’m finding myself having to resize the table constantly to fit it within the slides / margin guides.

I recently ran into a serious issue while working with different primitives in a large file.It may be an edge case, but when it happens, it is something very difficult and time-consuming.After renaming one primitive that was used across many layers, the file ended up containing several “missing variables” (which you can't find by searching). Some layers still referenced variables that were no longer visible or easy to find. The result was an inconsistent document where certain modes (for example Dark Mode) were still applied somewhere, but there was no clear way to locate them.In a complex file with thousands of layers, this becomes extremely difficult to resolve. I eventually fixed it, but it required manually checking large parts of the document.Right now, we can search for many things in the file (components, layers, text, etc.), but we cannot search for primitives and token that are applied to layers.A feature that would help a lot:Allow searching for primitives and token in the do

Hello, I really hope in presenter mode, the presenter notes could remain at the bottom rather than displayed on the side. I believe many presenters rely on notes, and having them on the side can cause unnatural eye and head movement, which may create a less polished impression, especially in interviews.

We do many presentations in multiple languages and the process is extremely cumbersome as each time we make a design change in one presentation, we have to duplicate it in all different languages. What would be a killer is the introduction of a Text Layer in Figma Slides. You would select one text layer across the deck and build the whole presentation in a given language. You could add another text layer that would replace the first one with another language etc. Hence, before presenting, you would select one particular language and here we go. If some design changes in the presentation have to occur, you make them in the “core presentation” and it would apply automatically to all layers. Think of the number of presentations that have to be duplicated to be translated in multiple languages today. It would definitely be a game changer and a reason for many companies to immediately switch to Figma (including ours).

 The current libraries styles search is a fuzzy search in which it shows close matches like different colors of green when searching for green. This is nice for being able to see similar results to the search parameter but is frustrating when typing an exact variable name and it returns another variable that is related but not match. The example I’m providing below if from a color library that has both the color ‘lime’ and ‘green’. If I search for green my results show the ‘lime’ results first and I have to scroll for the exact match of ‘green’.  I have run into the same issue with ‘indigo’ and ‘purple’.This interaction could be improved by rearranging the results to show exact match results at the top and the fuzzy matches below. If someone takes the time to type a keyword that matches their variables they shouldn’t have to scroll for their result. Top results when searching for green. Would expect my exact search result to be the top result rather than the fuzzy match of lime (green)

Hi there!  we are currently looking in to transferring our communication team to Figma Buzz. Previously we created templates for our socials in Figma and used custom widgets for specific cases like scalable text highlights with rounded inner corner etc..  We believe Figma Buzz might be the right tool for them since we can connect our design system libraries but unfortunately we are not able to use our custom widgets in Buzz. We tried to create a Buzz plugin but this only work in edit mode, not in template mode.  would love to hear if the community encounters similar limitations in Buzz! have a nice one!Brecht
