I use nested auto layouts for my tables: The table is an auto layout containing columns, and each column is an auto layout containing cells. I want my table to be responsive, so I set all columns to hug, except the last column, which is set to fill, so that the table spans the whole width of its container. But in smaller screen sizes, if the screen width goes below a certain number, the last column gets clipped/truncated as it’s on ‘fill’. So I set a min-width to ensure it is not clipped. But, right now I need to hard-code the min width. It would be ideal to set the min width to ‘hug’, so that I don’t need to hard-code it or change it every time I update the contents of the last column.

Hello, I am new to Figma but could not notice how difficult it is to navigate.Everything is so tiny and so difficult to move around and enlarge.Seems like UX is not the strong side of Figma. Thanks.

There are times I want to have Figma Make use csv or json files for data retrieval. Currently, the AI has to build a UI component in the preview window to allow this to happen. I should be able to upload files in the chatbox.

Would be really nice to have line hops for when creating complex IA charts or other interaction maps, site maps, etc. Sometimes it’s hard to not have 2 lines cross and having a line hop is a really nice feature. If you’re looking for an example, Omnigraffle has had this feature for quite a while.

When updating a component from a library and clicking “update all” (either all updates, or all instances of one update), Figma will immediately tell you that the updates have been applied. But especially in cases when there’s a lot of instances to update, they clearly are not, as the whole client will slow down to a crawl for a considerable while and the updated versions keep slowly changing in the view. Could you maybe add a spinner and a message that tells me when it’s actually done and I can work again.Also the ability to set some frames/pages to ignore updates would be nice. I can have things I don’t want changing even if I update the rest of the page. Skipping those instances by hand every time is a pain in the ass.

It would be cool if you could right click and fill container and hug content and ignore auto layout. These are used a lot.  

I am actively using Variants, but there is not enough search in the Variants selection list in component. In my Design System I decided to design one basic component: 1 button, 1 input field, 1 icon … etc. I implement the rest of the variations and states in Variants. I’ve in my base 16px Icon component 34 Variants of icons, in base 24px Icon as many. Search bar would be of great help:

Hello Awesome People! First of all, I’m sorry if this has been asked somewhere already, I tried searching but didn’t see anything. Is there a way to know what design files have detached a component? Here’s an example scenario, I open up a DS file and navigate to the library analytics I click to view more details on a component which says it’s got 3 detaches I arrive on a screen with all the variants listed for this component, I click on one which states it’s got 1 detach I then arrive on a screen which is listing 16 pages and I’m not clear why wanting to just find the file that has the detached component. I hope the above makes sense, thanks in advance for any pointers here 😊

When you delete an element in a nested structure, you lose all selection. This means if you want to continue working around that level, you have go dive again to that level (double-click, double click, double, click, double click…) Deleting an element should auto select the immediate upper level to stay where we’re currently working Or auto select the previous element in that hierarchy maybe, or the next one. But staying around there, not going back to root level.

Hi Figma Team!I’d love to request a small but meaningful feature: Could you please make Figma remember the UI state (e.g. when panels are minimized) across sessions? Right now, even after clicking “Minimize UI”, the left and right panels open again after restarting the app. For those of us who work in a clean, focused canvas — having to manually hide the UI each time is a bit of a chore. Would be amazing to have an option like “Remember UI layout on startup” or “Start with minimized UI” in Preferences.Thanks for all your hard work — Figma is awesome! 🙌

Hey!I’m working with assigning primitive color variables to semantic color variables and sometimes I’m not sure which color is the right one. If Figma shows the hex color value, when hovering the color swatch, while selecting the color variable I want to use would be SOOOO helpful.  Thank you!

Hi everyone, I use connector lines for my flows, but for many months now, they have suddenly stopped attaching correctly to the right-side connection point of an object. With every Figma update, I keep hoping for a fix, but the issue persists.This only happens on the Mac desktop app. I often have to switch to the Chrome browser just to make this adjustment. It's frustrating, I know!It's also sad to see that this bug was reported here months ago, almost a year now, and there is still no resolution... I hope this gets some attention soon.  

So I’ve seen similar posts before, but I’m putting this out there because its something that needs to be implented.Let me give an example, I’ve got a component for showing to elements side by side, one of the elements is a contact form, said contact form is also a component of its own.If I place a component instance of the layout component it only shows the properties for itself and not its children.It would be so useful if it could also show child properties.I would suggest showing “Parent/Current Component Properties”, a divider below it and then you list all properties the user in question added to it.Then if there are any child components you show “<CHILD_COMPONENT_NAME>’s Component Properties”, another divider and then all the properties that child has. Repeated until all child component properties have been listed.Of course someone could make a ridiculous setup where there’s like 10 - 20 child components that are each

Add the ability to add text-wrap: pretty and text-wrap: balance so that more options are available to ensure more flexibility to how text can flow/reflow and reducing hyphenations and word orphans.

Hola, ¿cómo están?El título del posteo es autoexplicativo: lo que estoy pidiendo es que independientemente de cual sea la variante por defecto del icono, en el panel de assets se muestre la variante de mayor tamaño o en su defecto algo que facilite su visualización (por ejemplo, un factor de escala de 2x automático).En su archivo de la comunidad “Simple Design System” lo que uds. hicieron fue poner por defecto la variante de mayor tamaño para que en el panel de assets se viera con mayor tamaño.Como esto es algo que es más bien un “hack” lo que estoy pidiendo es que deje de serlo y pase a mostrarse los assets en un tamaño más accesible sin necesidad de alterar el orden de las variantes.Esta solución solo la imagino para iconos, porque si bien podria aplicarse a componentes pequeños seria dificil de predecir el re

Is it compulsory for the connector to snap to the edge of the screen? what if i want to show connection between specific elements in 2 different screens ? Also please provide good connectors in Figma as well  

Currently, in prototype the cursor appears to be either ‘pointer’ (for everything) or ‘hand’ (if a click interaction set up on an element). I would like to be able to change this to a text cursor, when hovering over an input field in my proto. Affordance is a very important part of UI so surprised theres no way to do this? Of course can hack it by adding an image of a cursor, but then you end up having that plus the actual cursor on screen & it makes things worse. Should be an easy feature to add and would be very much appreciated!

Hi! My team exclusively uses Figma as the source-of-truth for implementation across various verticals: product, design engineering… We heavily rely on deeplinks to cross-reference other relevant files, flows, screens or resources to make the hand-off files easier to navigate for engineers. Our problem is, after clicking a link that leads to another frame in the same file, there’s no way to go back to the previous page: People need to manually navigate the file hierarchy and sections organisation to retrace their steps. Easy when you’re the person who came up with all these flows and know the file org by heart, but hard for anyone else. 😅

Context (You can skip it) I’m working on a plugin that stores frames designed in Figma independently, so different, unrelated to each other, people can use and edit them in their own Figma Files. Designs selected by a user are exported. If another user needs to edit the designs, it can import them to its own Figma File and save it. If another user needs to render the designs outside Figma, it can choose them from an Admin Panel Moreover, designs should have a possibility to implement Widgets, which should be stored and restored as well. Problem Widgets can’t be created by Plugins, they can only be cloned. Which is a problem in my case because exported designs may contain Widgets, which may not be familiar to another user, thus it can’t be importe

From what I see, Figma is struggling with variable heights, especially the ones relative to the viewport (heights of design elements vs height of the prototype and its elements when previewing, relative to the viewport). For example, you can’t have a section on a homepage be 100% viewport height both in the design and when previewing (which is the MOST ESSENTIAL, BASIC necessity in web/app design). Suggestion to fix this:A new option for Frames, a separate set of dimensions called “Viewport dimensions” These dimensions will NOT affect frame dimensions. Instead, these dimensions will provide variable boundaries which design elements can refer to, and adjust accordingly in both design view and when previewing a prototype.For example, your main frame is 1920 x 8000 in design mode and you have a section (auto layout) which should be “full screen height”. This can be a 1-click solution, here’s how:You sele

Introducing an Invisible Mode for Figma to enhance user privacy. This feature allows users to work without showing their online status, preventing others from following their activity. Perfect for focused, distraction-free design sessions.

A back button (and possibly a forward button) would be very helpful in the sidebar to navigate larger Figma files with multiple pages.

It’s hard to find the “Restore this version” button once a chat goes beyond 100 messages. Figma should add pinned Next/Prev buttons in the top bar, allowing users to preview each version after a chat and then decide which one to restore.

Hello Figma team and community,I’ve been working on a project where I need to display detailed information about multiple people (or products) in a modal. The setup is simple: Each Card component has exposed properties (Name, Job, Description, Photo). On hover/click, the card should open a global Modal that shows the same information. Currently, the only way to make this work in prototypes is to use Set variable → literal values (e.g., selName = "Norman"). This means: Every instance of the card requires manually duplicating interactions with hardcoded values. If I update the Card property (e.g., change the person’s name or job), the modal still shows the old hardcoded value unless I also update the variable action. This breaks scalability. For 10, 20, or 50+ people, it becomes ver
