Figma, Auto jump to next comments when previous comment is resolved is frustrating to use. Most of the times when we resolve a comments we tend to look and ponder on screen if we want to add any new comments. When it auto-jumps we need to search for the section again which is really bad experience. Please look into this. 

Has anyone found a way to have a color variable for bulk create in Figma Buzz? For example, I have an ad. I want to make 5 variations with different background images. I also want each ad to have a different font and button color. Do we think there will be an update down the road to make these edits in the google sheet for bulk create or will it need to be done manually after creation? Am I missing something? Thanks!

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables: but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

Figma motion does not currently have the ability to play and export video fills, so video objects are treated as static images. The ability to incorporate video objects into the timeline would be extremely helpful. Exposing the current frame of a video as a keyframeable property be a great solve. 

Hi everyone,I’m interested in how designers approach websites for industrial manufacturers and engineering products. These websites often need to present technical specifications, product types, applications, quality testing, and manufacturing capabilities in a clear and professional way.For example, a copper pipe and copper tube manufacturer needs to organize product details while keeping the website visually appealing and easy to navigate for engineers, contractors, and purchasing teams.What design practices do you recommend for presenting technical information, improving product page layouts, and making industrial websites more user-friendly?I’d love to hear your thoughts and see examples of designs that handle complex product information effectively.

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

It’s very annoying that you have to go to your profile settings and see how many tokens are left, in the moment you can never see how much you’ve spent.

SummaryAdd an option to prevent variables used in published components from being detached in consuming files. ProblemWhen a component library is published and used in another Figma file, consumers can detach variable bindings, potentially breaking the intended design system consistency. For libraries that rely on variables to maintain component integrity, this can lead to unintended overrides and make it harder to ensure consistent usage across files.Proposed SolutionIntroduce a setting in the variable's Details panel, such as “Prevent detaching in consuming files.”When enabled, this setting would prevent consumers from detaching that variable when it is used within instances of published components in other files, while still allowing the variable to be used normally elsewhere.Ideally, this restriction would apply only to the variable's usage within the relevant published component, rather than globally across every component or property that references the same variable.Why This Mat

This seems like a very large design oversight in Figma Slides. The help article says that “Published changes only apply to new slide decks that are made with the template.” Doesn’t this defeat the entire purpose of having a custom template where you can edit a style and have it apply to your entire presentation, instead of needing to manually tweak a header style on every slide? I expected this to work the same way instances update in Figma Design when you make a change to the main component, but even after publishing changes to a custom template in Figma Slides, my existing slide deck that pulls from that template isn’t updating colors & text styles. The published template changes would only apply to brand new slide decks, which means I’d have to define the template first and then create my slide deck. That completely goes against the general approach to how many of us create slide decks. For example, I don’t make the template before I start the slide deck. I make my slide deck fi

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

The desktop app keeps every open file tab fully loaded, each in its own renderer process. With ~12 file tabs open (design system libraries, UI kits, product files), Figma uses 7–9 GB of RAM on my 18 GB MacBook (M3 Pro). That pushes macOS into 8 GB of swap, slows the whole machine and drains the battery. Quitting and reopening doesn't help, because all restored tabs load again right away.The usual advice (close unused tabs, restart, clear cache) works, but I lose my tab setup, and the tab bar plus the native menu bar are the main reasons I use the desktop app instead of the browser.The interesting part: the desktop app already has tab discarding. Its config is delivered as the dynamic config desktop_tab_discarding and ends up in ~/Library/Application Support/Figma/settings.json:"desktop_tab_discarding": {  "default": {    "tabInactivityThreshold": 172800000,    "discardCheckInterval": 3600000,    "minTabThreshold": 5,    "minNonDiscardedTabThreshold": 3,    "gracePeriod": 1800000,    "i

Description: As a designer with many years of experience, I do almost all of my design work in Figma, including print and packaging projects. However, working with print layouts in Figma currently faces two major bottlenecks: Pixels-only constraint: The lack of physical units (mm, cm, inches) and DPI settings forces us to constantly calculate and convert print dimensions (like 300 DPI) into pixels manually. No CMYK color profile support: Because of this, we still have to switch to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for final print preparation. Proposal: If Figma added support for physical dimensions and CMYK color spaces, it would eliminate these workflow gaps and become the ultimate all-in-one tool for both digital and print design.

Feature Suggestion: Custom Folder ThumbnailsWe all know that folders currently display thumbnails based on the files inside them. While this is useful, it would be even better if we had the option to set a custom thumbnail for each folder.For example, imagine I'm working on products for Meta and have separate folders for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. Instead of showing file previews, I could set the WhatsApp logo as the thumbnail for the WhatsApp folder, the Instagram logo for the Instagram folder, and the Facebook logo for the Facebook folder. This would make folders much easier to identify at a glance and help improve organization, especially in large projects with multiple brands or products.It would be great to have a "Set Folder Thumbnail" option that allows users to upload an image or choose a file frame as the folder cover.If you'd find this useful too, please leave a comment or like this suggestion so the Figma team can consider it. Feature Suggestion: Custom Folder Thumbn

Our components are themed with a variable collection, not with extra variants. The collection has four modes:Personal light and personal dark are the consumer theme. Light is the normal surface. Dark is the inverted, brand-colored surface. Business light and business dark are a separate business theme. Same two surfaces, different colors from personal.A button has no Theme property. Type, size, and state stay the same. The mode is set on a parent frame and inherited, and the fills come from color variables. The same primary button looks different in each mode.In code we have a matching theme value. Code Connect cannot emit it, because figma.selectedInstance only exposes component properties, nested instances, and text. There is no way to read the active mode.The Plugin API already has this as resolvedVariableModes, including modes inherited from a parent. Please expose the same thing on the Code Connect instance, with the collection name and the mode name, so a template can set the the

Hi all,Is there a keyboard shortcut to navigate through comments?  eg. Next / Previous (Ondrej_Pavlicek suggested I this post here)Thanks!

Is there any plan to be able to create the gradient itself as a variable? For example, if I wanted some themes to have a solid background variable but others to have a gradient?

I often work with two Figma windows side by side. The left one is for browsing our design system, and the right one is where I’m designing, placing the components I get from the design system.In this setup the sidebars take up a lot of space on both sides of each canvas. In the design system window I only need the Layers/Pages panel to move between pages and find components. I don’t need the right sidebar (text styles, position, layout, etc.) there at all.Figma already lets you minimise the left sidebar. Could we have the same option for the right sidebar, per file or window? Hide UI isn’t a fix, because it also hides the Layers panel I’m using to navigate.

One thing that’s become frustrating is that it’s no longer possible to collapse just the left panel while keeping the right panel visible.In UI2: Ctrl+Shift+\ only hid the left sidebar. The collapse arrow on the left also only hid the left sidebar. Now in UI3: Both Ctrl+\ and Ctrl+Shift+\ collapse both left and right panels. The collapse arrow also hides both panels together. This makes workflows harder for users who want to maximize canvas space but still have quick access to the Inspector or Design panel on the right.Request:✅ Please restore the ability to independently collapse the left and right panels — both via shortcut and via the left collapse arrow.✅ Even a setting in Preferences to toggle between “unified collapse” and “independent collapse” would be great.

When I merge a branch which has some comments, those comments are not copied/merged/… to main file. Is it expected behaviour or “thing in progress”? I would love to have those comments transfered. So i don’t forget anything 🙂

I really wish Figma would add more print size presets such as A3 and A2, automatically convert real-world unit inputs to their corresponding pixel values, and support customizable bleed settings. This would be an absolutely fantastic feature. 

I always want to create an IA before designing, but its such a chore. I end up using a bulleted list (with indents to show hierarchy). I want to be able to copy-paste my list into FigJam and have it automatically generate an IA for me

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 mode annotations visible to v

This is the singular reason why choosing fonts is so tedious in Figma. I’m thankful for the update to finally be able to see the font before applying it to my text (which is the literal bare minimum), but being able to see what a font looks like doesn’t make choosing a font any easier if you know what kind of font you need, but you still have to scroll through hundreds of alphabetically organised fonts of varying classifications that don’t apply to you, when a simple filter would make the decision 10 times quicker. It makes the experience of designing start to finish in Figma frustratingly difficult.
