Hi Figma team,I was really disappointed to see that Iranian universities are no longer supported for the Education Plan. For many of us, Figma has been more than just a tool; it’s been our main way to learn design, collaborate with classmates, and dream about building a career in this field.Losing access feels discouraging. We’re just students who want to learn and grow, and it hurts to feel excluded because of where we live. Education should bring people together, not separate them.I hope you can reconsider this decision or at least find a way to keep Iranian students included. Having equal access to learning tools like Figma means the world to us. Thanks for listening and for everything you’ve built to inspire the design community.

Hey everyone,I’ve been using Orca Slicer for a while and really enjoy its features, but I just saw that a new release is out. Has anyone here tested the orca slicer latest version yet?I’m curious about what improvements or fixes it brings compared to the previous builds. Specifically, I’d like to know if there are noticeable changes in print quality, speed, or support generation.Also, does it remain stable on different printers? Any feedback, pros, or cons would be super helpful before I update.

Although I find the new autolayout UI extremely convoluted and overdesigned, the ‘hug/fill parent’ feature is great. However, It would be immensely helpful to have more control over how the elements fill the parent. Currently, the only option is for the elements to fill the remaining space, but oftentimes, I need certain elements to take up a certain proportion. Example: I need element-1 to take up 2fr (~66%) and the rest to take up 1fr (~33%). It would be a game-changer if we could use ‘fr’ units. Framer does this beautifully and it’s vital for efficient, adaptive layout workflows:

We currently have different libraries in which we store different levels/layers of Figma variables (encoding design tokens). In our current set up, we have a Semantic library, with variables pointing to variables in a Themes (light/dark modes) library, and those point to colours in a Primitives library. Right now, there isn’t an easy way of seeing the library in which a referenced variable exists. If I have a variable x referencing y, it seems like I need to try editing x to see where y is coming from. Tokens Studio has this great visualisation that you can open in a browser from the plugin in Figma. It’s built using https://reactflow.dev/. I guess the same could be made for Figma variables, but we don’t even need a fancy solution like that one.

Hi,I’m trying to transition the agency I work for onto Figma Slides from Keynote. One of the blockers I’m having is that Figma Slides does not feature a Master Slide for the beginning of every document. I have created a master design file containing variables, components etc so that my colleagues can cherry pick any slide design they want, but obviously the components being pulled through are always instances, so changing something as trivial as a client name in the header throughout the doc is a ‘find and replace’ action which is a bit hackie, therefore the need for a Master Slide.It would also be nice to see variables in Figma Slides so you can change the font family rather than having to go into every style and changing it there.

I need to be able to see which Layers are using a particular Variable in order that I would know if I can safely remove a variable or not. Hence, please add a parameter within the Search bar called “Variable Name”. Or you may include how many instances are using a particular variable within the Variables Page, or within the Edit Variable modal as shown in the screenshot.Lastly, please allow Gradients to be added as variable. Thank you!

Problem: It’s difficult to get an overview of which colors are being used in a document Solution: All selected colors are in alphabetical order. This way you are able to see if there are duplicates

Hi, I am working on a problem and my process starts with Figjam file, later I will be moved to Figma. I would greatly appreciate if I can create a page for Figjam within Figma file itself so that I have central place for all my problems/features in one place. This reduces my file clutter in design also. Easier to manage and control the context in both ways. 

Hi,I would like to see faster quick emoji menu when hovering over comment in figma. Something like MS Teams does: Right now figma requires one more click and it opens huge popover with all emojis with is not ideal solution in my opinion.

As a user I want the text to auto-adjust: in this way I can write sticky notes different in length (without breaking them in height).

As a Solution Architect I would like to use Figma Jam for my project Architectural Diagrams but the Figma Jam doesn't currently support Bumped Arrows which is primary element of  standard sequence diagram.

Currently, developers working in Figma Dev Mode cannot search or filter through variables in the variables table. When working with design systems like Gator that have hundreds of design tokens developers must manually scroll through extensive lists to find the specific variable they need.

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.

We just wrapped the big announcements at Config, and we know there’s a lot to take in.This thread is your space to share reactions, ask questions, and let us know what you're excited about (or still curious about) with regard to Figma Draw. Our team will be actively reading and sharing relevant takeaways with the product team. What we’d love to hear from you:What aspects are you most excited about — and why?

Hi Community, We use Figma (iframe) embeds in our technical documentation extensively and we would like to enable our colleagues to leave comments via these embeddingss instead of visiting the design in a separate browser tab/ window. What’s the proper way to do that? thanks,

I would love to group Figma tabs and then relabel that grouping to keep my Figma organized across different clients. 

My team loves to brainstorm, and we do it by each jotting down our own ideas separately, and then revealing, sharing, and converging on those ideas when we’re done. We love tools like EasyRetro that let us hide our own cards until we’re ready for the big reveal, but it’s not as fun and visual as a product like FigJam. I’d love for us to be able to make sticky notes with the text hidden from my teammates, and then unhide the text on those sticky notes all at once when we’re done brainstorming

We work on large display but Figma UI doesn’t adjust and shows minuscule panels for Text Styles, Library, Font lists, etc…. See related post below: 

Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.

When I try to interact with Figma using touch or pen input, certain UI elements, such as plugin windows and scrolling through lists, do not work as expected. The issue occurs on a Surface Pro 11 X Elite running Windows 11. Steps to reproduce: Open the Figma native app on the mentioned device. Attempt to scroll through a list or interact with a plugin window using touch or pen input. Observe that the UI does not respond correctly. Expected behavior: Touch and pen interactions should seamlessly work for all UI elements, including plugin windows and list scrolling. Device details: Device: Surface Pro 11 X Elite OS: Windows 11 Please investigate this issue as it significantly impacts usability for devices relying on touch or pen input. Thank you!

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this The issue with this feature has been covered many times in Spectrum discussions:Spectrum – 3 Jan 18 There is a way to avoid this by holding SPACE as soon as you click & don’t start dragging the object. But why force us to do acrobatics with our fingers by holding down an additional button, just to move the object? Why not provide an option to disable that functionality completely? Nagaraj Chandran had a very logical idea in his comment: “I don’t want to hold the spacebar key to disable auto-nesting. Maybe, it should be the other way around. Hold spacebar or any other key to auto-nest.”

How can I change settings of video fill to speed play faster? will that be supported or added anytime soon?

Figma sites doesn't seem to support Figma Draw brushes, will that be included in the upcoming updates?

It would be awesome if we could get access to copy and paste data in the Plugin API. We’re looking at creating a product which allows users export from our site to Figma (ideally through the clipboard) and the current ways of doing that involve some gnarly scripting I’d rather avoid. If there’s another solution that would be awesome too! To be more specific the endpoint would be used like let copyData = figma.selection[0].copyData so we could copy that into users clipboards on our site.

Hi Figma Team,I’d love to see an enhancement to FigJam that allows videos (and GIFs) to autoplay, play simultaneously, and loop continuously. This would be an amazing addition for creating video moodboards where multiple videos can be displayed and automatically played in sync. It would allow users to create dynamic and immersive visual experiences directly within FigJam, perfect for design inspiration and collaboration.Thank you for considering this feature!
