Figma Slides: Need the option to change the canvas background color

Basically the title, there’s a reason this feature exists in base Figma. Loving slides so far, especially in design mode and grid view, but the inability to change the canvas background color causes significant usability issues. In dark mode, it’s nearly impossible to see black text elements that have been dragged into the abyss, and it would be equally hard to design a deck with a dark background. At the minimum, I would like to be able to toggle the background color between light and dark separate from the overall app theme, but it would be best to have a range of neutral hue values and/or full hex control like regular Figma.

On-Premise Deployment of Figma

There are many legacy companies starting to value design a lot more, and they are hiring designers into their ranks to make their software products a lot better. At these places, there may be strict network or security requirements that our critical software must be self-hosted or deployed on-premise. For us designers, we join these companies in hopes of showing that design is about collaboration and working together, not about opaque hand-offs and “design black boxes”. What better tool do we have than Figma, to show the collaborative nature of design? Please please please do allow for on-premise deployments of Figma — and help us all in traditional companies bring change slowly, one tool at a time. 🙏 I understand that this feature request is pretty far-off from Figma’s product philosophy so far, but well… 🤞 (Hey, our companies usually can pay too.)

Search and replace should allow line returns

A lot of search and replace use is adding or removing line returns from text, would be good to be able to do this, all other software I’ve ever used has this functionality.

Reverse search (search files from a screenshot)

I work in a large design team (50 designers) in a fast-growing company. The product is complex and has many different flows and variations. I often find myself wanting to find a specific screen in Figma from a specific part of the product. If we had a great index internally that we kept very well groomed, this wouldn’t be a challenge. But it is not the case. Most of the time, I really on asking in Slack if anyone knows where I can find a recent-ish version of this or this in Figma, wait, and 50% of the time another designer finds something. What if we could do reverse image search in Figma like we do in Google? I screenshot a part of my product I use it the reverse search in Figma Figma shows me the files, and where in the files, that have designs that match very closely my screenshot I can grab my screen and start designing!

Duplicating/Copying Annotations in Dev Mode

At one point the Annotation feature in Dev Mode allowed me to add an annotation to a frame, and when I copied that frame the annotation would be copied as well. This doesn’t seem to be working for me anymore. It was extremely nice when it did, because I often copy frames either to make a new iteration, put a copy on a different page, put a copy in a different file, build out a user flow, etc. and having to remake an annotation over and over is hard to keep track of. Personally I need annotations to be connected to whatever I first put them on until I specifically delete it, but I can see how this could be annoying extra work for people who do not need that. Maybe this could be a setting, where you check on/off whether you want annotations to duplicate or not.

Risk of loosing dev mode annotations

Hi Figma Community & Team, one issue we have with using the dev mode annotations is that it is very easy to accidentally delete annotations which are attached to design layers when changing a design. We would need some more security in annotations not disappearing with the design elements, to store important information in them for the devs. Also it would be great to be able to move and attach them to other design elements when changing something. Best regards Mikka

Branch for updating Dev Mode Annotation

Hi Community & Figma team, we are using branching to keep track of changes in files. Furthermore, we would like to use the Dev Mode annotations. However we noticed, that it is not possible to merge a branch that only has changes to annotations. However, this is necessary in case a ticket of us only contains changes to document for developer resources linking etc. Would it be possible to see changes also as changes to the file to be able to track & branch them properly? All the best Mikka

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

Component Boolean - Hide when True

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Set Default Text Properties

It would be awesome if we could set properties like font, size, alignment so everytime we start a textbox it would have all the properties already set. This exists and works with shapes for example, but the text ends up overridden by the last textbox you edited. Is there a way to workaround this or should it be a possible new feature? Thanks

Mark slides as "Ready"

When I’m building a presentation using Figma Slides, it would be super useful if I could mark slides as “Ready” so that I know which ones I fully designed / written notes for, and which are yet to be completed.

User preferences to be saved on account level in software

Hello, I work on quite a few projects, personal, work, and sometimes have a separate account for contract or my personal business. This means I usually have 2+ accounts in Figma. A slight annoyance is the fact that settings like “nudge amount” is a global setting on the entire software. And I’m sure other settings are too. It would be great if these are saved to profile rather than the entire software.

Quick ask: Can we link to the YT tutorial for variables for typography?

The current help center link is really sparse when it comes to applying variables for typography. Given that it’s a pretty intensive process involving creating and attaching variables within text styles, can we at a minimum link to the existing YT tutorial? I went a little crazy trying to figure it out just in the UI 😅

Figma Slides paste things into Frames like in Figma

In Figma I can select a Frame and when I paste an Object from the Clipboard, it’s pasted inside the Frame. In Figma Slides the pasted Object is only on the Slide, I have to manually move it in to the Frame over the Layer Panel (On both modes Slide and Design Mode). This different behavior is super annoying.

Add ability to view Design panel when viewing Version History (UI3)

Currently in UI3, and when in Version History mode, the Design panel is not viewable. While in Version History mode, I would expect to be able to view — not edit — almost all aspects of a file’s version including: Local variables Styles Style detail views (e.g. “Edit [current] style” modal but locked) Anecdote: I somehow deleted an entire Variable collection and didn’t notice immediately, and when in Version History mode, I wasn’t able to see when exactly — or which file version — had the variables before their would-be deletion 😕

Automatic wrapping of text characters

Hello, when I use text, I input a lot of numeric text, but I need to separate it with other characters, such as “|”, it will automatically wrap the line for me, resulting in a blank at the end, I don’t need this, I will do it by myself if I need to wrap the line, I hope you can improve this problem and give me feedback, thank you.

Make more animations available within component sets

Hi, I’m requesting that more animations are made available within component sets which would offer much more flexibility for designers. This would allow for swipe effects to be applied to reusable components (think carousels) instead of top-level frames. Currently, the following animations are only available on top-level frames (Move in, Move out, Slide in, Push, Slide out). (post continues below image) If you convert those frames to a component set, the behavior will be preserved, but the aforementioned animations will be grayed out. Changing the trigger, action, or animation will relegate you to only being able to use “Smart Animation” on that component going forward. (post continues below image) If the other animations are preserved when converting frames to a component set (and it works during presentation), then it seems that this functionality could simply be supported by enabling all of the animations within component sets. Thanks! -John

Truncate text: Option to reserve space

I’ve got this very simple set up of a card component in a carousel. The card label has truncation enabled with max lines set to 2. Almost all of my cards in the carousel use two lines of text, but one card only needs one line. This results in that one card being shorter than the others: Normally I’d work around this with some combination of fixed height layers or maybe setting the one card to fill the container’s height, but neither are sustainable. I just want the card label to have up to two lines, but have the option to reserve the space if it doesn’t use all the space.

Section header name bubbles obstructing designs and other section names

I love sections and it has become a main way for us to organize our flows, so we end up putting sections inside sections inside sections. At a certain point the section name headers overlap each other and overlay on top of designs making it hard to look at designs when zoomed out. It doesn’t help that the bubble has the same color as the section background. Maybe make the names only appear when you zoom in? or make them show up on top? please and thank you

Allow pasting CSS gradients into HEX fields

When inspecting websites, it would be helpful if I could paste in a CSS gradient such as: linear-gradient(to bottom right, #0096FF, #BB64FF, #F55273) directly into the fill field: The field already does some of this (it allows pasting rgb, rgba, oklch color functions and it converts to the appropriate fill).
