Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

Like many design systems, our current library uses placeholders + instance swap and we would love to switch to slots.The issue: While it’s possible to wrap placeholders in a slot to preserve content in existing instances, that content is no longer preserved when the instance swap property is removed from the original component. As soon as we remove the instance swap property from the parent component, all instances lose their swapped content.This means we have two options:Remove the property anyway and cause major breaking changes to hundreds of projects Accept redundant properties in the already crowded property panel for any component we switch from instance swap to slotsI’d be very happy if we could remove the property, or rather reassign its function to the new slot. 

Hi everyone!Wouldn’t be useful to have the ability of creating instance clones that mirror the state of the original instance?Reading this closed topic () I found out there are other people interested in this idea, where changes you make on your instance (text, spacing, size, etc.) are automatically replicated to your instance clone. So the structure would be: master component > instance > instance clone. It would be even better to have the ability to override the clone, so certain features get automatically updated while others, the overridden ones, remain the same. 

Sometimes I want one boolean component property to both show something, and hide something else. It would be cool to be able to not only assign a boolean property to layer visibility, but also to indicate that it should show the layer if the property is false. Example scenario: Imagine a situation where I’m designing favourites section on the app’s sidebar. I want a sidebar to be a component. Now when favourites is empty, I want to show an empty state with a CTA instead of the CTA. And I want to add a toggle that both hides an empty state, and shows a list of favorite items.

UI UX is mainly focus with the User’s Interaction and Designs, various basics that most of the UI and UX designers need to know to measure the interest of the customer, business processes, and product reach. UI is the activity of teams to collect requirements from the customer or organization, and UX is the complete front-end process, as per the interaction with the user and requirements gathered by the UI team.

I use figma for a lot of subtracting and a bit more complex workflows, i would love to use figma’s tool more but working with pages that lag each time i make a change, cause of figma using only a few gb of RAM (I have 32) and only a single core is really annoying. Currently i use figma to design for game interfaces games and changing softwares is really not an options for me so adding this would definitely help a lot.

This update is genuinely one of the most frustrating UX changes I’ve experienced in a professional design tool 😡 😡 😡The new left-hand navigation panel permanently steals ~60px of horizontal space on small screens, which is completely unacceptable. That space is my primary working area — the canvas. I am literally losing room to do my job so a panel can sit there doing nothing most of the time.Yes, Variables, Files, Assets, Find, and Library are important.No — they are NOT minute-to-minute actions.They do not deserve permanent, always-visible real estate. This panel is idle 90% of the time, yet it constantly punishes my workflow.On smaller displays, this feels especially hostile. Instead of prioritising the canvas (the entire reason Figma exists), the UI forces a bulky navigation column that adds zero value moment-to-moment and actively makes precision design harder.

when i try to export library to figma make, there is error tip: “We ran into an error while extracting your library” and I try to export only one very simple component it doesn't work.

Why can’t you underline text styles? I get you could just have text underlined in your design system, but it would be nice to simply add an underline to text while you’re designing as well.

Hello, good day.I’m experiencing serious issues with the new Figma UI update. Many essential tools — such as padding controls — are missing or hidden.Please do not enforce this new version. The previous UI was much better, clearer, and far more efficient for designers.This new version has no advantages, feels confusing, and makes our workflow significantly harder.

Hi all! The new Slot has just been released and I’m looking into replacing the selfmade slots in our library with the new released slots. But I’m already walking into my first problem with the new slots. I have a component where we have 2 slots with the same instance swap property. These slots have boolean variables added to them so they will be hidden/shown on different breakpoint modes.With the new slots I have not found a way to use the same slot property twice in the same component yet, other than keeping our current setup for now, does anyone have a good idea on how to solve this?

I have successfully rasterized last Friday. But two days later, which is now Jan 13 2026, the Rasterize selection disappeared in object menu. I can only find it by searching Actions… Is there anyone can help me look into it, thank you so much!i use macbook pro 15-inch, 2018, Vetura 13

Figma MCP should provide frame-to-image exporting as a tool. That way AI could export graphics in a page design as `.svg`s, `.png`s, etc... and upload them to our cloud bucket,or put them in our web assets folder.

Every time I paste the copied YouTube link where the YouTube video is supposed to start at a specific timestamp it starts from the beginning. When I paste the link into the browser the video starts in the correct spot. Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to get the link to start at the proper timestamp?Figma Desktop App version 125.5.6MacOS 15.5

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev m

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Feature request: Make variables accessible via floating modal optionally.I’m building a personal portfolio and I don’t have a design system or library. I have also not designed several mockups beforehand, so I’m designing inside Sites. For a very small project like this, it’s not unreasonable. However, I’m finding it incredibly difficult to use variables in the same way as I have been doing so in Figma Design. Previously, I could eyedropper colours from my designs and seamlessly create variables because these could be managed from a floating modal. Changes made to my variables could be seen updating live in my designs because the modal could be moved around and did not completely obscure my design. In Sites, I need to constantly be switching between my file and the variables view, this for each variable I want to add and each time I want to make any modification to my variables.I understand that features are different from one

Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

Hello,I’m currently exploring Figma Sites and had a quick question regarding SEO configuration.Do you plan to allow users to edit or manage the robots.txt and sitemap.xml files for published sites? This would be very helpful for controlling indexing and improving SEO.If this feature is planned, do you have an approximate timeline for when it might become available?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Figma Team,I’ve been working a lot with Figma Make, and I really appreciate how smooth and intuitive it is. However, I’ve run into a challenge when copying a design.Currently, copying requires clicking the Copy Design button. This becomes difficult when I need to copy a hover state of a component, because moving my mouse to the button causes the hover state to disappear. As a result, I can't copy the hovered version unless I screenshot manually or work around it.A keyboard shortcut for copying would solve this problem perfectly. With a shortcut, I could keep my mouse on the component to maintain the hover state while triggering the copy action from the keyboard.This would greatly improve workflow and interaction design handling in Figma Make.Thanks for considering this!Looking forward to future updates.Kind regards,Aaron

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

Add the ability to activate prototype effects when a user scrolls to specific vertical positions.For example: Trigger an effect automatically when reaching a certain Y position (e.g., 1836px). Trigger an effect between two Y positions, starting at one point and stopping at another (e.g., start at 1836px, stop at 1936px). This feature would make Figma Prototyping far more powerful, enabling precise scroll-driven interactions and animations across designs.

I’m not sure what update broke this feature. But normally when I want to open a file to work on it, I click the plus icon to open a new tab in the Figma app. And then I just start typing the name of the file I want to open. Because before, it used to automatically set focus to the search input field. Now it doesn’t do that any more. So, out of habit, I press the plus, start typing and then realize that nothing is happening. So I have to go click into the search field and then start typing again. Can you please reenable the auto-focus on the search field after clicking the plus to add a new tab? it is the most logical next action, in my opinion, when opening files.

So the conclusion of today's update is that it is not easy to use and is prone to component explosion. It is only used in specific scenarios and is not as comfortable as using large components and instances. If we add slot content for switching in the future, there may be many gameplay options. Moreover, it is interesting to convert slots into components without using them. However, the problem now is that if I create a slot, about 3-5 components will be generated, which will explode later on

Hi Team,Super excited about slots. I was at the Figma Sydney event yesterday, loved hearing Zoe talk about the process. I’ve been trialling it out today. I notice that we have started putting slots into some of our DS components, particularly helpful for the the input field component, which is roughly 44 px high.I notice that if I have an instance of an input field into my design and try and use the slot in the leading icon spot, if my browser or window is zoomed out too far, I notice that the pink ring shows up but the tiny plus in the middle to add the component. I have to zoom in in order to see the plus icon and then interact with slots, because I notice that the area around or the pink field itself is not directly interactable.  Loving it otherwise!
