Hi, I've noticed that Figma's AI chat doesn't allow new conversations, and I understand LLMs have context limits.Does Figma's LLM consider all historical project context?It would be helpful to have multiple chat windows for building different components, as the current single-component process is slow. ThanksJag

I feel like i’ve been transported back in time 25 years to when flash first introduced programming elements. Its exactly like you have Set Variable right now. A fixed building blocks afair of dropdowns and structured UI elements to implement if and else blocks. It was horrible 25 years ago and really horrible still. Please allow developers to write code as text. We’re not babies, we’re quite capable of spelling and programming basic if else statements.

Hi all, A lot of the time when I’m presenting designs, I will either put together a static slide deck with annotations, or I will walk through the interactive prototype in Figma. One downside with using the interactive prototype is that it’s not possible to annotate designs, in order to show notes and give people a better understanding of what I’m presenting. I understand that comments can be added, and ideally I would talk through the design myself, but having annotations that are constantly visible would be a great help. I noticed Adobe XD has this, as it displays a panel on the right hand side with all notes. Figma has this feature in Design mode, but when in Prototype mode, these comments can only be viewed one at a time. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any plugins or workarounds that people have used to get around this? Thanks in advance!

The components in the assets tab are currently organized in folders by file > page > frame/section. You can have an even deeper hierarchy if you name your components with one or multiple slash separators like Buttons/Toggle Button. This, however, bloats the component names so I would like to have the possibility to create deep hierarchies by nesting frames. As of now, only the top-level frame on a page is considered when grouping components in the assets tab and frames inside of frames are ignored. The same goes for sections inside sections and frames inside sections.If this would result in unwanted asset organization because the frames are used for layouting purposes, a compromise could be to allow this only for sections inside sections.

Variables are missing for Effects like drop shadow, inner shadow, blur, and background blur. They should be used for the number fields and colors, so we can have dynamically applying themes and sizes for these effects.

I created a component 1 (main component), and copy paste it as component 2. I want to modify the component 2 a bit, for example the layout of textbox. I’ll have to detach component 2 from component 1 (main component). Can I re-attach component 2 to component 1 (main component) after I detach it?Or is there any other way to modify component layout?

Right now it seems like the ‘default’ variant is set based on which variant is ‘upper leftmost’ in the variant container frame. Instead, I suggest decoupling arrangement from precedence, and using the property ordering functionality to determine the default variant. The default variant should simply be the one with the first value for each property, regardless of where it’s placed in the variant frame. This would allow teams to set defaults directly from the properties panel, without having to move components around. See this thread for some more context: How to set defaults / precedence of variants with multiple properties?

Hi Figma, Listen it’s my fault, literally, that help is designed this way where it deflects. I designed Answers at Salesforce and that was the first of this sht. Giving feedback from within the product, is not a help topic. I suggest you have a separate channel. A google form would work very well, actually. It could create a spreadsheet and you could categorize the items. Designers ARE your bread and butter. NO, regular people are not going to swarm to Figma no matter what Exec says AI will make that happen. They go to Canva and then probably something even simpler. SO GET A TIGHT FEEDBACK LOOP WITH DESIGNERS I’M NOT YELLING JUST HIGHLIGHTING THIS.Feedback: make auto layout a part of the UI. It  is the most used feature. And now I have to pretend like it’s some kind of magic and legit thank figma for figuring it out with that dumb little shape button. FIGMA, MAKE AUTO LAYOUT

It would be great if we could create a slice and set that as the thumbnail. This would allow us to select a relevant and/or nice looking crop of anything on the canvas to serve as the thumbnail image. 

I have layouts where “hug” on sections works fine. There was a way to do this by converting the autolayout to a section but now it doesn't work.  Please provide the ability to set the "hug" parameter in section sizes.

I'm using Rewrite to organize my meeting notes.Instead of rewriting the content, I tried to ask it to highlight keywords by bolding them.Apparently it works in terms of identifying key words, but it’s in markdown method using double asterisks, instead of truly bold my texts.Anyone find a way to truly format texts using Rewrite? Curious will it be possible in future?

I don’t want vector drawing. I want to draw raster in pixels please. 

Make it possible to add images to comments. I created a new topic, because these older ones were closed: Comment with attached Image Share an idea My Commentor usually sends feedback with a reference image. But they have to send it by link or even by direct message. It takes me a lot of time to collect comments and images they send. I have so many pages and comment in Figma. My problem will be solved easily if Figma lets me comment with an attached Image. Like

Hello!I was going through our team files today, and organizing some that we shared with other vendors. I realized for one of the projects, we needed a ‘draft’ page for our team to ideate and brainstorm there, but didn’t want the vendor to actually see the WIP.I was wondering why isn’t there a page-level permission for viewers? This way I can hide / lock the ‘playground’ or draft page within a file from non-designers!

Right now, in order to link out of a file, the link has to be attached to a Text layer. It would be great if I could add a link out to any layer, like a button or a Card.

Can there be a way so that we can copy / view the text and color values without unlinking the style definition? See the attachment, it would be very helpful if I could see the properties of this selected text , instead of only the style name ( Same for colors )  

I use ‘N’ as my push to talk key on Discord which in Figma goes to the next frame.I just want to be able to unbind/remap the key in the figma app so this doesn’t happen.

When using Figma’s comment feature, we often input text using an input method editor (IME), which includes a composition process for converting characters (such as from Japanese kana to kanji). In most IME environments, pressing the ESC key once during composition cancels the ongoing conversion and returns to the pre-converted state. Pressing ESC again cancels the entire text input. However, in Figma’s comment input field, pressing ESC even once during the composition phase closes the entire comment box. This results in losing all the text being typed, even if it hasn’t been confirmed yet. This behavior is very disruptive for users who rely on IMEs.Could you please prevent the comment box from closing when ESC is pressed during text composition? The first screenshot shows the behavior in VSCode when pressing the ESC key during text composition.The second screenshot shows how pressing ESC in Figma’s comment field be

EU is moving to Peppol, which means all entrepreneurs will send and receive invoices via the secure Peppol network. When will Figma invoice via Peppol?

Genspark.Ai is the new workspace for the new gen operations.Figma Docs, Sheets, should compete Notion, Canva, editorjs docs etcFigma Drive with online offline sync should be an added advantageFigma Coding is not something worth for a design workspace, there are tons of better AI Coders like replit.A Canva/Lidojs like platform by Figma will be very productive. A whitelabel version will be more attractive for enterprises, resellers etcIm currently using figma for managing my docs. but its very difficult and i dont want to use canva docs. Hope there will be more productive improvements in documents management, file, folder management etcsomething like this  

In Figma Make, it is possible to create code, but it seems that .fig design files cannot be generated. ref.How do I save/export a .fig file from Figma Make? | Figma ForumAdditionally, it appears that team members cannot comment on the preview in Figma Make.Therefore, the collaboration feature, which is a key characteristic of Figma, is not available.Are there any plans to release the ability to generate .fig files or a commenting feature?Alternatively, are there any existing workarounds?Thank you very much for your attention and assistance.

As a user, when I’m updating instances from a library when in dark mode, icons can be hard to see on the dark background, I would like to be able to see what the dark icons look like. Suggestion to add a toggle for the background of the instance so that a dark icon on the dark mode background can be changed to light mode.

Hey Figfam I know this might not be a top ask, or even on the top of your priorities, but any chance an update can be made so we can use local fonts on iPad? Is one of the few features that keeps me from being able to fully use Figma on iPad through the browser. Maybe some specific font helper app? Just my 2 cents.

Summary:Please expand Figma’s background blur support beyond frames and components to include vector shapes and boolean objects. This enhancement would significantly improve design flexibility and enable more advanced UI effects.Details:Currently, Figma restricts the use of background blur (glassmorphism) to frames and components. While effective in many workflows, this limitation creates unnecessary friction when attempting to apply blur to non-rectangular or custom shapes—such as triangles, circles, icons, or complex boolean forms.Designers seeking to replicate stylized interfaces (e.g., macOS Aqua or Tahoe icons) or craft more expressive UI elements are forced to use masking techniques with frames.
