I think Buzz is a great idea - along with social media templates, maybe email templates could be a cool addition as well (if Buzz is a bucket for all things promotional)

Our team is automating workflows with AI, and we’re loving Figma Make. Only thing is, we can’t collaborate via comments like we’re used to in Figma. Any way to drop comments/feedback right in Make so we’re not bouncing between tools or risking things getting lost?

In the Figma editor, you can change the blend mode and opacity for Sections. But blendMode and opacity properties is missing in both Plugin API and REST API, so it is not possible to read/write it. Please add these properties to the SectionNode object.

I prefer to use my mouse to drag font size up and down to dial things in but the interaction zone must be 1 pixel in size at the moment. In comparison, the drag zone for line stroke is massive and never an issue. I’d be so happy to have this improved, although my mouse accuracy has gone up as a result XD 

Is it possible to change default font in Figma? (from Inter to Mardoto)

Implement variable font property in plugin API and rest api Unfortunately it is not possible to get the complete properties for variable fonts via API access. Please implement the CSS property “font-variation-settings” for “wght”, “wdth”, “slnt” … “opsz” Or have I overlooked something, how do I get the information via the APis?

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:

All the time I work with component variables and for content on the screens I need to pick random variables. Would be very nice to have the button to not change each instance manuallyThank you

Team-Scoped Commenting for PrototypesDesigners frequently need feedback from multiple teams (Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, Leadership) on the same prototype. Today, separating feedback requires duplicating files or links, which introduces version drift and overhead.Proposed solutionEnable team- or audience-scoped commenting on a single prototype link. One shared prototype URL Comment visibility determined by: Email Domain Team / workspace group Reviewers only see comments from their assigned group(s) Designers see all comments across groups Key capabilities Create multiple “feedback groups” per prototype Group-only or designer-only comment visibility Optional group switcher

So this boggles me. Why can’t I change (override) the opacity of a referenced color-variable, without having to detach it? To me a color and an opacity value are two different things. So if I want an opacity on my referenced color e.g. “Blue-950” I have to detach it and change the value to my liking, now it is not referenced to the variable collection anymore. A workaround is to add that “Blue-950” with the desired opacity in the variable collection and then reference that new “Blue-950-50-percent”. It is so annoying that you can’t change opacity on the fly without loosing reference!!!

As a math and science teacher who uses Figma every day, I would like to request that superscript and subscript be added as options in text boxes on FigJam boards. Please! It would be so helpful when typing exponents, chemical formulas, and more. Thank you! -A dedicated and loyal Figma enthusiast

Within the canvas, I’d like the layer panel to display only the items that are currently within the visible viewport. Without working with the wrapping into new sections feature.At the moment, the panel shows one long list of all layers and frames, which makes navigation slow and cluttered—especially in larger files. Filtering the layer list to what’s in view would: Improve focus and readability Lowering level depth – more flexible way of working imho Speed up navigation in complex canvases Reduce cognitive load when working on specific sections Optional nice-to-have: a toggle to switch between “Visible frames only” and “All layers”. If anyone has tips and tricks, please let me know!

So i stumbled upon the issue that if you post a link to a branch somewhere, and merge the branch afterwards, the link still points to the merged branch. This might cause issues as its not really clear to the developers if the branch is still up2date or not. Maybe there is a possibility to somehow show that this specific branch has been merged ? or even link directly to the main branch?

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

Hi all,Recently, there was an announcement that it is possible to generate diagrams and flow using Claude Opus with the Figma “connector”. Now I wanted to try this but it seems that Figma make does not use the Figma connector, because it cannot create anything on Figjam. This is frustrating, it means the Figma subscription is not enough at the moment to be able to access a feature mainly thought for Figma users.I hope this gets solved. So far, make was able for me to turn excel files into csv flows, but it would be awesome to be able to make Figjam components directly (like the demos show when using Claude).

I created a website using Figma Sites, but the OGP image is not appearing when sharing the URL on social platforms (X, Slack, etc.).URL: https://saionhouse.comCould you confirm if OGP metadata is supported in Figma Sites, and how to properly configure it? 

Another nice addition would be to connect your FigJam files with related Figma files. So as not to rely on file naming. Creating links between the two would allow for easier navigation and discovery from others in the team.

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope

Let’s follow the desktop browser mental model of putting cursor focus in the search input field after opening a new tab so users can immediately begin typing a filename without having to use the mouse to click into the search field first.I’m so used to being able to open a new tab with Cmd+T and immediately begin typing my file name without my fingers leaving the keyboard in Chrome, that it would honestly save me quite a bit of time in the long run in Figma too. 😅I can’t tell you how many times I’ve opened a new tab and begun typing before realizing my cursor wasn’t in the search field yet. (The number would be embarrassing, and continues to climb!)

Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%).

Hi Figma team,I’m currently exploring Figma Sites for personal and educational projects, and I have a question about the product’s future direction.Are there any plans to support custom domains for Education or Free accounts in the future?For many Education and Free users, custom domains are important for: personal portfolios case studies educational or nonprofit projects sharing work in a more professional way Even if this feature were offered with limitations (for example: one domain per account, Figma Sites only, or as an optional add-on), it would still provide a lot of value to non-paid users.I understand that detailed roadmaps may not be publicly available, but any insight into whether this is being considered would be very helpful for users planning long-term projects with Figma S

I can’t seem to change text colour inside shapes. I only get the option to change the background. The only way I was able to get it to work was to create a separate text layer change the colour there and then paste it inside the shape text area.

When I type cmnd+T to create a new tab I used to be able to immediatley start typing to search from my files. Now I have to click into the search bar before I can type. Oof.Just really annoying.

Have you ever sent over a design file for feedback to open it a week later with 40+ comments? I have and I’m sure you have too. The problemIt takes a lot of time to review comments after a feedback round. It can get repetitive and sometimes the feedback can mean the same thing but being written differently. If you have a lot of different commenters, the list becomes long and tedious to go through. The solutionOne button to summarise comments that will produce out a summary and propose the next steps. Each summary should include links to the root comment so the user can review the original comment. The summary could be in a tab in the comments panel where you can toggle between original comments and summary to easily go back and forth. 

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.
