This problem is frustrating me every time I try to open a project folder. If a project folder has less than 4 files in it, it’s very often easy to click the blue plus sign that appears which creates a new blank file, when in reality I’m just trying to open the project folder. I end up unnecessarily wasting time creating and deleting empty files.

Maybe I missed it but I can’t seem to add a (URL) link to a object in Figma Slides, would be nice. I can do with workarounds for now.

Hello, im working on a reading of overlays interaction from the Rest Api but im not able to get the background-color/Position of it (see the picture first picture) It’s also unavailable on dev mod : We can cleary see the animation, duration etc but not the background/position...Am I missing something like it’s available somewhere? Or maybe is it a bug? But I can’t figure where to get this datas beside using a Plugin, and my goal is to mot use a plugin at allhere are the only datas I can get :                                 {                                  "trigger": {                                    "type": "ON_CLICK"                                  },                                  "actions": [                                    {                                      "type": "NODE",                                      "navigation": "OVERLAY",                                      "transition": {                                        "type": "DISSOLVE",                       

I signed up to view someone else’s work. I immediately unchecked the box called “Send me occasional emails…”. Weeks later, I am still receiving blog-type emails with no unsubscribe link. There’s no result for unsubscribe when I search your site. When I tried to send a message to support about it (while not logged in), I got an error submitting the message. So I logged in again to check my settings, and at the bottom of the page it says I can unsubscribe at any time - but there’s no link to say how. Y’all know this is illegal, right? Kindly do better.

I would be a time saver to be able to define a default color (it currently is 000000) for new typography elements. I never design with pure black. if I could use a variable color as my type color, when I create a new text area, it could automatically have the dark variable value. Print software, such as illustrator lets us define a black. you should too.

Is there a way to better organize prototype sections in Figma, similar to how we organize pages? I’m asking because I’m working on a project where having some kind of “breathing space” between navigable flows would be very helpful. For now, I created a frame to segment things, but I’d like to know if there’s a more appropriate solution.

Do Figma “line-height” variables support percentages or proportional values?I tried setting number variables like 1 or 1.2 to use as line-height ratios,but it doesn’t seem to work as expected. Is there a workaround or recommended method for this?I’m honestly surprised that such a fundamental feature might be missing. I keep thinking I must be overlooking something rather than it not existing.

Hi,I’ve noticed something about the “Follow” feature that’s been bothering me a bit.When someone follows me in Figma, there isn’t a clear or persistent indicator on my side that I’m being followed. I can’t really tell who is following me, when they start, or if someone is currently viewing my screen.That lack of visibility feels uncomfortable, especially in team environments. I might be navigating early drafts, messy explorations, internal notes, or sensitive frames without realizing someone is actively watching. It’s not necessarily about hiding anything — it’s more about awareness and transparency.From a workflow perspective, it can also be disruptive. If someone is following me for a review or to understand something specific, I might switch contexts or move too quickly without knowing they’re there.In larger teams or companies, this could even raise minor security or compliance concerns, since work-in-progress or confidential material might be viewed unintentionally.I think it woul

Please check the video attachment to see how Xara handles the color tweaking; it would be great if Figma implemented something like this.I have found couple of plugins that enable similar function, but unfortunatelly its not the same.Plugins:Perceptual Colori Color Adjustments Like PhotoShopPerceptual Colorizer

Just like driving width and height, I want to dynamically position elements in weird ways too. But not weird like this:

Okay so I've found 2 things that are pretty annoying when dealing with the client-facing side of designing. 1. I typically only share prototype links with clients to give proper feedback. I don't like giving them back-end access to the files because they're usually messy, but I can if I prep a new file. So, I've noticed that when I comment on the design file from the backend version, yes it does show on the prototype side but the client receives an email saying I've tagged them in a comment with a link to said comment. When they click this link to go to the comment, they're redirected to gain access to the backend rather than the prototype side. This is extremely frustrating. I (and my team) should be back to comment from the backend with it feeding through to the prototype properly. 2. It would be amazing to be able to stop allowing comments on prototypes. When we have a creative that has been signed off, being able to stop allowing comments means that this is the final version and th

STOP CHANGING THE UX LAYOUT!!! I just got used to the new UX after a forced update a few month ago and now the crop button disappeared!

The default UI font-size is really small (icons are mostly okay), They so small that I can hardly read the comments and the page/layer names in the panels (maybe I’m a little old or my laptop is more zoomed out) but it would be great if they are some user-friendly feature for people with weaker eye power like things like thicker guide lines and zoom in on words similar to PSD preference UI font sizeLike OMG how to read this? Japanese/chinese text are so small it is hardly readable on characters with more strokes 

Teams would like the ability to archive branches that have been merged in their own time instead of them automatically being archived and having to view them in the history tab. They’d like the designers to choose when to archive those branches. Teams want to be able to see a history of merged branches and actually see them, but not necessarily restore to that branch.  We’d like this to be an option to turn on per project or in admin settings.  Thanks! 

Having a “reset scroll position” like what Figma Design has is a must. Currently, when I scroll a frame inside a slide and then I proceed to the next slide in my deck, the scroll location is maintained, and as a result my next slide is already scrolled to a position I did not need it to be.

Is there any possible reason for this other than value extraction? 5 Templates, or pay more than 2x more than you are now.   

Ctrl + tab should switch between most recent tabs rather than switching between tabs sequentially.

For the LOVE OF GOD. STOP UPDATING THE FIGMA UI. I'm trying to finish my work, NOT waste time understanding what each update has done to my tools and HOW TO USE THEM FROM NOW ON. Jesus Christ. Stop forcing us to update to a shittier version each time. Can you just let us have what we already figured out? LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. 

I know If I use the option key and hover, I get the distance between objects but I would like a feature that shows the distance exactly the way the option key does but without start making a copy of the element. If I start moving it I just want to see the distance to the element above for example. If I do this now it’s going to get to a point where it starts measuring from the copy I’m holding.

It seems really odd to make that the collection name for variable is not include when looking for variables: The reason that vertical-padding shows up is because in the description of the variable, I added button. This is at least a workaround to this issue but having to do that for each variable is annoying and easily forgettable

I imagine this limitation exists to prevent infinitely nested instances, but there are definitely use cases for instances nested within itself. I run into this problem with my UI “section” component which is basically a container with a title and some content. I need to be able to replace the content with some other content that also contains sections (e.g. to build a nested UI tree).

Allowing for styles to encompass all of the data in any given section of the properties panel and be able to combine them into a meta-style or object style.Another way to think of it, if you want to save a stroke style you could save all of the information in the stroke section of the properties panel and the stroke settings within that style. Weight, color, style (dotted vs solid), sides of object (if applicable), etc.Expanding on that, being able to save the style from each section of the panel to a meta-style or object style (akin to adobe illustrator or indesign) so we can use all of the same styles on a new, unique object without using components. Sometimes two objects need to be styled the same way without them all being tied to the structure/content of a main component. It would speed up the use of components and variants a lot as well.A good example is making a different meta-style for each of the states of a button. You set the fill color, stroke color, stroke weight, stroke j

Hello, I just discovered Figma Sites and wanted to create a Portfolio, however I cannot find the option to publish it and connect it to my custom domain. On the website and on youtube, everyone seems to have an option to add connected domain in the Site Settings under the Domain menu, however the menu for me consists of just Base Domain menu. (See screenshot)I would love to resolve this issue and connect to my custom domain. I am using education plan and as stated on Figma Website I should be able to host one website. Does anyone else have the same issue?  

This is a feature that would be amazing for a web image optimization processRight now there’s a lot of manual effort between Figma and Photoshop to resize images, then get them all exported as 80% jpgs or webp files

Hi When will sorting and advanced search for CMS elements be available?Is there any approximate date?Thanks!
