Figma mindmaps have improved quite a bit, but there’s still 1 major interaction that makes me keep going back to Whimsical. I cannot press ENTER to add another leaf node! Even Shift + Enter doesn't seems to do that. Figma could easily map one of those as shortcuts :/

Hi all, So in the Config demos we were shown Live interaction features in Figma Slides. Things like polls that people watching your presentation can participate in. Our team is mainly remote, but we have some in person meetings where people present, and a monthly hybrid one where going in person is optional. So it got me thinking, what if you could scan a QR code in the same way you can in tools like Slido? Then virtual attendees could interact directly with the slides, and in person attendees who aren’t at a computer can interact from their phones. Might be something that’s on your radar already but just thought I’d mention 🙂

Figma Grid is missing the option to input a variable in the gap field: We need to be able to give this parameter a Token.

Hi Community!Figma Buzz couldn’t have arrived at a better time, it seriously saved me so much work for our new marketing strategy. I’ve been bulk creating hundreds of personalized letters with QR codes, custom images, and data… it’s awesome!That said, I think I’ve hit the limit in two ways, both with the interface and the export feature, and it’s stopping me from pushing this further.I’ve bulk created over 200 items, but in grid view, I can’t scroll down to see the last ones. Weirdly, I can scroll way up into empty space, but not down to where my content is. So I can’t properly review everything or select those lower items to export.Also, even though I created the items in batches of 75–100 and split them into rows, there’s no way to select and export by row. Combined with the scroll issue, this means I can’t get everything into a single file, super frustrating.Anyone have a better workaround than splitting into multiple files? I’ve got 1,000 more to make in the next few weeks 😬Thanks

Since 19 of nov. 2020 I can´t use my mouse to select a slice, only possible from the layers menu. After making a slice with a padding around a layer, I can´t select the slice using my mouse so I can move them, only the layers inside move. I have tried both Chrome, Firefox, and desktop, same, I have tried to get in touch with support via mail since nov 2020, but no answer at all to any of the emails. Am I the only one that have that problem?

Hi! Haven’t seen if anyone have talked about it yet. I think it’d be nice to have an opportunity to edit your images in figma slides and also use blending modes. In the current version of figma slides, i can only add a color tint to a photo. And i see that figma slides does support blending modes in general, because when i go to figma design, edit images there  and then put them back to figma slides, it works perfectly. It would be very convenient to use blending modes and image editing functions in figma slides.

I really need to move my annotations around OR at least decide to which side I want them to go. 

When I create an instance swap property I have the ability to add preferred values. However I’ve arranged my components (icons) into multiple subfolders. And to my dismay, selecting the top-level folder does not automatically also select subfolders. So now I have to click into each subfolder in order to select its contents. It feels like I’m being punished for being organized. Request: Please enable the selection of subfolders from the parent folder level (without having to click into it first). Please make the default behavior such that selecting a parent folder also selects all the subfolders and all the contents within it and any other nested subsubfolders and their contents, etc.

I am a recent convert from Adobe Suite and I am loving the changes / UI management your software provides.My only gripe, and this could be because of my lack of understanding of your software, but the Slice tool needs a re-work. For context, I took a full page screen shot of a website. I am creating new sections of a homepage but I am planning on injecting new sections in between the old sections of the website.I currently have to make Slice selections around portions of the image I’m selecting, and then export those slices to then bring those export slices back into Figma.My friend told me another method when you can use the Shape tool and Mask the image to the Shape to accomplish this functionality.  Yet to section out all the website using this method would require me to copy and paste the original image / masked group multiple times making my Figma file / section management way more robust than just Slicing different shapes of the original image. I know there is probably a method t

As an Admin, I want configuration a setting that can be set which automatically downgrades inactive users, whose “Last Edit activity is greater than XX days”, to a View-restricted status.

Hey there! Is there a way to not have any background color in Figjam sections, and just have the grid visible ? Context: I use section to distinguish blocks in my FigJam. But I don’t want to have to fill the background with a color (white/grey/etc.) as this creates unwanted contrast with screenshots → worse readability  

Is there a reliable way to ensure that presenting a Figma Slides deck or Figma design file in Presentation mode, can be done offline and that all videos, transitions etc will show as per the online version? My clients are requesting this, as it would allow them to be in remote places but with the deck safely downloaded.  We have noticed that if we open the deck, run through the full thing and load everything, then go offline, it will work like this, but wanted to enquire if there was an offline mode option available. Thanks so much! 

As the title says.We work with branches and do not work inside the screens themselves as it's easy to lose what's part of the handover and what's not for both devs and designers. Therefore, we have a separate "Handover"-page where we display what's relevant for the specific task/ticket. To make this work more seamlessly with merging branches later, we turn some screens in components and copy the instances to this "Handover"-page. However, the annotations do not come along with it and requires us to annotate twice - on both the component and the instance.

Currently there’s no way to have different prototype settings (device mainly) within pages. I have to rely on creating different pages for desktop and mobile flows. Which is not efficient for large companies where you’re working on so many features.Would love to have a feature where your flows automatically adapts device setting based on frame size. So I could basically have desktop prototype and mobile prototype side by side. 

Dear Figma, I really enjoy your app!Thank you!At the same time, I find it really annoying that I cannot open up a file in a new tab from the home screen.This inconvieniences me in two ways. First of all,  I cannot open multiple files at once becuase once I click on one file, the homepage is gone. What I have been doing instead is researching for Figma in the search bar, to come back to another homepage and open another file. It is highly inefficient.In addition, when I am already on a file, and I would like to view the homepage, or open another file, there is no way to do so. In order to view the homepage I have to leave my current file. This is annoying.As you can see, not having the option to open my projects in a new tab significantly degrades my user experience.In order to solve this problem, I suggest you make an option to open the file in new tab, such as in Google Docs or Canva, so that I can easily return to the homescreen while still keeping my file tab open, and open two file

Usually, we designer will have a lot of pages in the left panel, but when we give this link to other team, such as sales, or developers, they only can see the about the top 5 pages, they don’t know there are still pages until they hover that area. Can we make this more obvious, something like add content bottom area shadow and always visible scrollbar and etc. Give more difference between pages and layers these two sections.

Hi! I would like to suggest a feature for creating and modifying graphs/charts natively on Figma.I design a lot of dashboards on a daily basis and unfortunately, each chart I encounter, I have to manually create and then use them as just placeholders (and sometimes the devs and stakeholders really need to see the real numbers on the designs, and it takes a lot of time to modify them).I would love it if there were a tool on Figma that allowed us to:Create (at least) pie, donut, line and bar charts; Export and import the chart data as .csv; Modify chart data and have it changed in the chart design; Apply styles and variants to the chart design; Enable chart legend.PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator have this type of functionality, so it would make sense to have it on Figma too. 

The year is 2025 and we still don't have the option to organize our files ourselves... frustrating!A segmentation feature ("templates") was released (I believe, to meet this need) where it is possible to distinguish between icons, illustrations, shapes, colors. However, unfortunately, we were not given the autonomy to do this ourselves. In other words, this predefined segmentation of "icons, illustrations, shapes, colors" is only valid for public files that have been published in the community.I've seen some people reporting here how horrible it is to deal with files in Figma when you are an agency or when you are working in a team, but in fact this lack of autonomy when managing files is also felt by a solo user like me who likes to switch between different types of icons, illustrations, mockups, 3D images, style guides, design systems, etc., but cannot do this easily because the files are scattered throughout the interface with filters of questionable quality.Finally, my feature sugg

Annotations and Measurements - when attached to an item, option to hide when item hidden.

While in prototype mode, try dragging the screen or interactive elements in multiple directions—left, right, up, and down—to test how the interface responds to user gestures and transitions.

I heavily use FigJam daily and it's a core part of my workflow.Lately though, there's been a noticeable shift in how drawing works with the Apple Pencil, both in the FigJam and Figma apps on iPad. It feels like there’s now an invisible hand smoothing out my lines in real time. It seems to be introduced in order to compensate for shaky input, but the current implementation is just too much. So much so that writing or sketching quickly and naturally has become nearly impossible.It is interfering with our own natural assistance system, our own eyes. And now it feels like I’m fighting a ghost version of my own hand.If there’s a setting to tone it down or switch it off, that would be a lifesaver. Or just completely roll it back.Regards

1. Variable/Library Connection in Prototyping Overlay BackgroundsWhile Figma Libraries and Variables are brilliant tools, I noticed a gap:Buried Access: Picking colors from the library for overlay backgrounds is buried under multiple clicks and is not intuitive.Static Colors: Even after picking a library color, it behaves statically (just a hex/opacity). This means if the library color changes, the prototype overlay doesn’t reflect that update.Suggestion:Provide an upfront, dynamic option to pick colors from the library directly in the prototype panel. If the library is updated, the overlay should also automatically update.
2. No Memory of Overlay Background ColorsFor multiple overlays in a prototype, I have to set the background color manually for each one. While Figma remembers certain settings like Smart Animate (e.g., it retains the last-used easing and duration, reducing repetitive effort), it does not do this for colors. The overlay background color always defaults to #000000 25%

I work in the design system team, and we’re constantly updating and publishing the Figma component library. This is great for users who already have design files: They can choose whether or not to accept our updates. BUT for designers starting work on a NEW file, they can only use the current version of the Figma library components. That may sound ideal, but it’s not. Here’s why: Often product engineering teams are some way behind the changes that we publish in the Design System team. They simply may not be able to implement those changes quickly, or possibly, at all. Their designers may want to work with previous versions of the Figma library in order to design TO THE PRODUCT. If they are forced to use the current library, this can cause confusion in the product teams, because devs and QA won’t be able to work to or check against those designs. Could the lovely Figma guys somehow allow designers to choose which version of a library they pull assets from?

This seems like a very large design oversight in Figma Slides. The help article says that “Published changes only apply to new slide decks that are made with the template.” Doesn’t this defeat the entire purpose of having a custom template where you can edit a style and have it apply to your entire presentation, instead of needing to manually tweak a header style on every slide? I expected this to work the same way instances update in Figma Design when you make a change to the main component, but even after publishing changes to a custom template in Figma Slides, my existing slide deck that pulls from that template isn’t updating colors & text styles. The published template changes would only apply to brand new slide decks, which means I’d have to define the template first and then create my slide deck. That completely goes against the general approach to how many of us create slide decks. For example, I don’t make the template before I start the slide deck. I make my slide deck fi
