Am I missing something or is the old Community home completely gone?It used to feel like its own place, with clear navigation, and a nice way to filter and discover new plugins.The new “Tools & Templates” tab just feels so…. clinical, sterile, barebones. It feels like a downgrade.

Introduce a new Figma AI capability that allows users to generate complete design libraries—such as Design Systems—using natural language prompts. Once created, these libraries can be automatically referenced across other Figma files, enabling seamless reuse and consistency.For example, a user could prompt Figma AI to “Create a modern Design System with components for web and mobile”, and then in a separate file, ask “Generate a SaaS dashboard UI using the previously created Design System”. Figma AI would intelligently reference the original library, ensuring design consistency and reducing manual linking.This feature would streamline workflows, promote scalable design practices, and empower teams to build faster with AI-assisted modularity. Concept

When flicking through slides in Slide View (Figma Slides) setting the view % on a page, will just reset and fit to screen if you move to another slide.  Is there a way to lock the view % so that we can control the review / design process as we can in other programs?

Not being able to use keyboard shortcuts in the variable collections menu/manager can really disrupt the workflow. Sometimes for example, because I’m so used to ‘ctrl/cmd+d’ to duplicate something, I try to duplicate a variable using this and accidentally end up duplicating something in my canvas. Just adding some simple shortcuts would improve the QoL and workflow with variables. Here are some quick examples: ‘esc’ to exit the menu ‘ctrl/cmd+n’ to create a new variable use tab/enter to choose which type of variable ‘ctrl/cmd+d’ to duplicate a variable ‘ctrl/cmd+r’ to rename a variable

make it possible to create an expression in variables in which it would be possible to perform operations on variables of the same data type as the variable that contains the equation

There should be a direct export feature in figma to export PDS files. So that we can import the file in After Effects or in Canva and animate the layers because now we have to manually export in png or jpg file and again make the design in Photoshop or After Effects. I know there are some plugins but they are mostly Paid or not perfect in exporting the file. I would request to bring this feature in figma that will help all the motion graphics artists in their work.

Hi everyone!  I have seen a lot of posts here about having to detach a fill of a layer in order to change the opacity and asking for opacity to be also able to save as its own variable, but this is not exactly my wish. I wish to define a variable that has a not a 100% fill, but rather references another color variable and has a different opacity without having to detach the referenced variable. Example use case:Alert component with 3 variants. In this case the “color” variable is the background in the first of the 3 variants (from left to right) and also the text and stroke color in the other two variants. “background” variable in this case only the background in the 3rd variant.  In light mode it is a light blue, but a solid light blue. In dark mode, instead of having to define a whole new “dark-gray-ish blue” color to reference here, I would just like to reference the “info/main” variable, with an opac

When you have alot of variables it would be nice to be able to search for specific things

Hi FigJam team, We absolutely love using FigJam for creating flows and diagrams, but we've hit a snag with the line connection functionality, especially when lines need to cross. It would be a big help if FigJam could add a feature where one line arcs or "jumps" over another when they intersect. This would make our diagrams much clearer and easier to understand.Thanks for looking into this! 

It would be amazing to have adjustable view and edit permissions for pages within a Figma File.The file owner could grant general View or Edit permissions to whoever they share the file with like they can now.Within pages, the file owner could override someone’s View permission to give them Edit access for the one specific page. This would be great in making sure changes are only being made to dedicated pages.

Currently, corners can only be rounded at whatever size you set. However, it would be great if you could set different styles of corners such as inverted rounded or chamfer as you can in Illustrator. The goal would be to create a style like the image below:

When you use the pen tool to draw a vector image, normally when you use the bend option, it's automatically set to ‘Mirror Angle.’ But then I mostly have to manually change it to ‘No Mirroring’ since that helps more with the accuracy of the edges of the images I want to create. But when I have really big images, it gets tiring having to always change the settings to ‘No Mirroring’ for every single point. Isn’t there a way to automatically leave the settings on the last option selected instead of it always being set to ‘Mirror Angle’? Or is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

I really liked the Glass effect. But it cannot be exported to SVG or via the "Figma to HTML" plugin. Can you fix it?Sincerely, Vidasik.

I’ve spent hours manually removing unused variants, removing ghost fills and aligning thousands of icons in a very specific way. We all have these days of just rote boring execution work and I think there’s a great surface area there to explore with AI, beyond the few AI-commands already provided (E.g. rename layers) 

I want to do copy QA in Figjam by using the table component and pasting images into it, underlining certain sections and in the column next to the column with the image indicating the new copy

Hello, I found out that if i create an interactive component (ex: Button), and place it inside a a main component (obsiously as an instance), the interactions are no longer working. But if you create an instance of the parent component, then it all works as expected.

I spend a lot of time undoing the automatic auto layout adjustments that Figma applies in order to maintain the existing layout structure. This is frustrating because I understand how all the resizing parameters work, and I only change the ones I want to change. But in an attempt to help me and retain the current layout, the UI changes parameters that were previously the way I wanted them. So while auto layout still saves me time, it also wastes my time by putting me in a position where I have to go through, layer by layer, undoing the auto-adjustments. (Usually changing a layer’s width or height from “fixed” back to “fill” or “hug”.) I understand some users may actually like this, and it’s hard to please everyone. I would be more than grateful for an option that allows me to disable this automatic behavior.

To enhance flexibility and optimize workspace organization, it would be beneficial to allow users to move the windows for variables, prototypes, and plugins outside Figma’s main interface, positioning them freely on the desktop. This feature would help users better arrange their workflow, especially for those using multi-monitor setups or needing a cleaner and more focused workspace. Imagine being able to place the prototype window on a secondary monitor while working on the main canvas, or keeping a plugin window open without it interfering with your design. Additionally, these windows could remember their position, reopening in the same spot during the next session to ensure a seamless user experience.

On a regular basis, whenever I have to move a file, I click on “Drafts”, thinking that it will let me move the file. But, this takes me to all Drafts, which I understand is probably the desired state for when the file is in a correct project folder. However, this drives me crazy every single time that I try to move something from drafts, which happens regularly given I create files outside of projects most of the time. Would love consideration on changing the Draft state for moving. 

In this case I have the same component duplicated four times to have five placed instances total. When selecting one of the inside pieces, Figma highlights those same pieces in other parent instances. But there’s no way to select those things Figma’s highlighting without intermediate steps like searching by name. Clicking them all one by one in this example isn’t too bad, but doing it with some nested component across a dozen prototy

Hello,I’ve been and building with Figma Make which I find very impressive.By iterating, a lot of files has been created and many are not in used which leads to pollution and model confusionCan you build an UI in the interface or give possibility to the AI to delete files? 

STOP MOVING THE TOOLS AROUND THE CANVAS, CHANGING THEIR ON-LOAD DEFAULT VIEWS, AND GIVE COMMUNITY AN ACTUAL PLACE TO LIVE OTHER THAN EVERY SINGLE PLACE YOU’VE TRIED. HOLY CRAP HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING IPO? YOU CANT EVEN MAKE A SINGLE DECISION AND STICK WITH IT FEATURE REQUEST: CONSISTENCY AND RELIABILITY. I DONT USE POWER TOOLS THAT ARENT RELIABLE, SO WHY SHOULD I USE A PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT DOESNT RELIABLY HAVE THE FUNCTIONS I NEED IN ONE SPOT

Currently what we make in “Figma Make” is not directly editable in figma design tool. To change anything we need to command which makes the design worsen often. So we designers need to have the power to copy/move/cut from “Figma Make” design and paste it in the figma design tool , to iterate and tweak faster.

We deals with editing of photoshoot, website,and app design
