Make Slices selectable with a click (again)

Since 19 of nov. 2020 I can´t use my mouse to select a slice, only possible from the layers menu. After making a slice with a padding around a layer, I can´t select the slice using my mouse so I can move them, only the layers inside move. I have tried both Chrome, Firefox, and desktop, same, I have tried to get in touch with support via mail since nov 2020, but no answer at all to any of the emails. Am I the only one that have that problem?

editing images in Figma slides

Hi! Haven’t seen if anyone have talked about it yet. I think it’d be nice to have an opportunity to edit your images in figma slides and also use blending modes. In the current version of figma slides, i can only add a color tint to a photo. And i see that figma slides does support blending modes in general, because when i go to figma design, edit images there  and then put them back to figma slides, it works perfectly. It would be very convenient to use blending modes and image editing functions in figma slides.

Let me move the annotations around

I really need to move my annotations around OR at least decide to which side I want them to go.

Enable selecting subfolders when selecting preferred values for an instance swap property

When I create an instance swap property I have the ability to add preferred values. However I’ve arranged my components (icons) into multiple subfolders. And to my dismay, selecting the top-level folder does not automatically also select subfolders. So now I have to click into each subfolder in order to select its contents. It feels like I’m being punished for being organized. Request: Please enable the selection of subfolders from the parent folder level (without having to click into it first). Please make the default behavior such that selecting a parent folder also selects all the subfolders and all the contents within it and any other nested subsubfolders and their contents, etc.

Allow subscript and superscript as text style overrides?

Since a recent release we can already do some text style overrides. While maintaining the connection to a text style we can bold, italic and underline by using keyboard shortcuts. Example in UI where I made a part bold: Is there any change we can get the same feature for subscript and superscript? This would enable us to maintain the text style, while entering formulas like: Currently I have to disconnect the text style and then change the position. Which also isn’t the easiest feature to find. This probably also requires putting making something sub- or superscript under some kind of keyboard shortcut, it currently isn’t: Note that there is no problem using m³ for example, because I can just enter these as characters using my compose key (on Linux).

Fix the Slice tool

I am a recent convert from Adobe Suite and I am loving the changes / UI management your software provides.My only gripe, and this could be because of my lack of understanding of your software, but the Slice tool needs a re-work. For context, I took a full page screen shot of a website. I am creating new sections of a homepage but I am planning on injecting new sections in between the old sections of the website.I currently have to make Slice selections around portions of the image I’m selecting, and then export those slices to then bring those export slices back into Figma.My friend told me another method when you can use the Shape tool and Mask the image to the Shape to accomplish this functionality.  Yet to section out all the website using this method would require me to copy and paste the original image / masked group multiple times making my Figma file / section management way more robust than just Slicing different shapes of the original image. I know there is probably a method t

Figjam - Transparent background Section

Hey there! Is there a way to not have any background color in Figjam sections, and just have the grid visible ? Context: I use section to distinguish blocks in my FigJam. But I don’t want to have to fill the background with a color (white/grey/etc.) as this creates unwanted contrast with screenshots → worse readability

Using Figma Presentation mode (Slides or Design files) offline

Is there a reliable way to ensure that presenting a Figma Slides deck or Figma design file in Presentation mode, can be done offline and that all videos, transitions etc will show as per the online version? My clients are requesting this, as it would allow them to be in remote places but with the deck safely downloaded.  We have noticed that if we open the deck, run through the full thing and load everything, then go offline, it will work like this, but wanted to enquire if there was an offline mode option available. Thanks so much!

Option on instances to inherit master component annotations

As the title says.We work with branches and do not work inside the screens themselves as it's easy to lose what's part of the handover and what's not for both devs and designers. Therefore, we have a separate "Handover"-page where we display what's relevant for the specific task/ticket. To make this work more seamlessly with merging branches later, we turn some screens in components and copy the instances to this "Handover"-page. However, the annotations do not come along with it and requires us to annotate twice - on both the component and the instance.

Prototype flows should autometically adapt device type

Currently there’s no way to have different prototype settings (device mainly) within pages. I have to rely on creating different pages for desktop and mobile flows. Which is not efficient for large companies where you’re working on so many features.Would love to have a feature where your flows automatically adapts device setting based on frame size. So I could basically have desktop prototype and mobile prototype side by side.

Homescreen Navigation

Dear Figma, I really enjoy your app!Thank you!At the same time, I find it really annoying that I cannot open up a file in a new tab from the home screen.This inconvieniences me in two ways. First of all,  I cannot open multiple files at once becuase once I click on one file, the homepage is gone. What I have been doing instead is researching for Figma in the search bar, to come back to another homepage and open another file. It is highly inefficient.In addition, when I am already on a file, and I would like to view the homepage, or open another file, there is no way to do so. In order to view the homepage I have to leave my current file. This is annoying.As you can see, not having the option to open my projects in a new tab significantly degrades my user experience.In order to solve this problem, I suggest you make an option to open the file in new tab, such as in Google Docs or Canva, so that I can easily return to the homescreen while still keeping my file tab open, and open two file

Page section scroll bar is not intutive

Usually, we designer will have a lot of pages in the left panel, but when we give this link to other team, such as sales, or developers, they only can see the about the top 5 pages, they don’t know there are still pages until they hover that area. Can we make this more obvious, something like add content bottom area shadow and always visible scrollbar and etc. Give more difference between pages and layers these two sections.

Chart Creation Tool

Hi! I would like to suggest a feature for creating and modifying graphs/charts natively on Figma.I design a lot of dashboards on a daily basis and unfortunately, each chart I encounter, I have to manually create and then use them as just placeholders (and sometimes the devs and stakeholders really need to see the real numbers on the designs, and it takes a lot of time to modify them).I would love it if there were a tool on Figma that allowed us to:Create (at least) pie, donut, line and bar charts; Export and import the chart data as .csv; Modify chart data and have it changed in the chart design; Apply styles and variants to the chart design; Enable chart legend.PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator have this type of functionality, so it would make sense to have it on Figma too.

Preferred instance lists should dynamically update with published library updates

In File A I create 20 (arbitrary example) different components that have an icon instance property. File A has access to my Icon library (in another file). So I add all icons as preferred values for my 20 instance props in File A. Now I add some icons to my library and publish the update. Well guess what? Now I have to go through the 20 props in File A to manually add those new icons as preferred value. Imagine this at the scale of a mature international design system. What’s the point of the preferred values feature then?

Problem with file organization

The year is 2025 and we still don't have the option to organize our files ourselves... frustrating!A segmentation feature ("templates") was released (I believe, to meet this need) where it is possible to distinguish between icons, illustrations, shapes, colors. However, unfortunately, we were not given the autonomy to do this ourselves. In other words, this predefined segmentation of "icons, illustrations, shapes, colors" is only valid for public files that have been published in the community.I've seen some people reporting here how horrible it is to deal with files in Figma when you are an agency or when you are working in a team, but in fact this lack of autonomy when managing files is also felt by a solo user like me who likes to switch between different types of icons, illustrations, mockups, 3D images, style guides, design systems, etc., but cannot do this easily because the files are scattered throughout the interface with filters of questionable quality.Finally, my feature sugg

Horrific Experience with the New Figjam Drawing Assistance

I heavily use FigJam daily and it's a core part of my workflow.Lately though, there's been a noticeable shift in how drawing works with the Apple Pencil, both in the FigJam and Figma apps on iPad. It feels like there’s now an invisible hand smoothing out my lines in real time. It seems to be introduced in order to compensate for shaky input, but the current implementation is just too much. So much so that writing or sketching quickly and naturally has become nearly impossible.It is interfering with our own natural assistance system, our own eyes. And now it feels like I’m fighting a ghost version of my own hand.If there’s a setting to tone it down or switch it off, that would be a lifesaver. Or just completely roll it back.Regards

Variables connection in prototyping

1. Variable/Library Connection in Prototyping Overlay BackgroundsWhile Figma Libraries and Variables are brilliant tools, I noticed a gap:Buried Access: Picking colors from the library for overlay backgrounds is buried under multiple clicks and is not intuitive.Static Colors: Even after picking a library color, it behaves statically (just a hex/opacity). This means if the library color changes, the prototype overlay doesn’t reflect that update.Suggestion:Provide an upfront, dynamic option to pick colors from the library directly in the prototype panel. If the library is updated, the overlay should also automatically update.
2. No Memory of Overlay Background ColorsFor multiple overlays in a prototype, I have to set the background color manually for each one. While Figma remembers certain settings like Smart Animate (e.g., it retains the last-used easing and duration, reducing repetitive effort), it does not do this for colors. The overlay background color always defaults to #000000 25%

Allow designers to use previous versions of a library

I work in the design system team, and we’re constantly updating and publishing the Figma component library. This is great for users who already have design files: They can choose whether or not to accept our updates. BUT for designers starting work on a NEW file, they can only use the current version of the Figma library components. That may sound ideal, but it’s not. Here’s why: Often product engineering teams are some way behind the changes that we publish in the Design System team. They simply may not be able to implement those changes quickly, or possibly, at all. Their designers may want to work with previous versions of the Figma library in order to design TO THE PRODUCT. If they are forced to use the current library, this can cause confusion in the product teams, because devs and QA won’t be able to work to or check against those designs. Could the lovely Figma guys somehow allow designers to choose which version of a library they pull assets from?

Figma Slides: Publishing template changes should auto-apply to existing slide decks

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

UI3 Feedback

What I can’t stand the most is that the panels of the new UI can’t be attached to the edges. They leave some gaps, wasting the space to display the main design and operation area. And visually, these gaps are also distracting my attention. The toolbar at the bottom also interferes with the main operation space, especially if its color is the same as my design draft. By the way, is it just for the convenience of novices to move it from the top to the bottom? If someone who uses Figma more frequently, he will use shortcuts instead of mouse clicks to trigger these functions. So I hope that adjustments can be made in time in the official version of UI3, otherwise these redesign will seem like a subjective conjecture of someone who doesn’t use Figma much.
