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.

When a user requests a license, it would be beneficial be able to see their information, life from the “People” tab. Currently, I have to copy their email address, go to People, and then look at their Workspace and Activity to easily see if I should grant their license request. 

Hi! I’ve noticed that I’m only able to add links to text. It would be really great if it were possible to add links to other objects, specifically images. 

I have been designing for set-top boxes for several years now. And it is very convenient to do it through the transmission of the screen to the TV. But, there is no official support for Figma Mirror for TV sets. Many times I wrote to support and asked, but I always got the answer that there is no support. The most interesting thing is that Figma Mirror works perfectly on Nvidia Shield or Google Chrome (last generation) set-top boxes. You only need to put the app through aptoide. But with each time figma mirror refines the functionality for the phone, which severely degrades the functionality in TVs. For example, last year, after another update, the Remote Control for prototyping stopped working on the TV. It was very convenient to make a prototype, connect the buttons on the remote, and control the app. It felt like you were really using an out-of-the-box app. But it doesn’t work anymore. The second example happened with the last update. There was onboarding, w

I’d love to be able to copy and paste styles between objects in a FigJam document. This would allow me to style and keep consistent style within a document more quickly. I imagine this implemented the same way as in Figma design files. Cmd+alt+C copies all attributes (color, type of container [square, rounded, etc.], text style) or line style attributes (thickness, dashed, arrow(s)) and Cmd+alt+V pastes on all (applicable) selected objects. This should work for shapes, arrows and texts. Thanks for a great product!

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

The Problem: > Currently, Figma’s native PDF export converts all text layers into vector paths (SVG objects). This causes several major issues: High File Size: Vectorizing every character creates unnecessarily large files. No Accessibility: Text is not selectable, searchable, or readable by screen readers. Professional Limitation: We cannot use Figma for brochures, data sheets, or documents that require copyable text. Proposed Solution: > Implement Font Embedding (subsetting) in the PDF export engine. Retaining text as a "text layer" would make Figma a viable alternative to Illustrator or InDesign for document design.Why it matters: > This would significantly improve workflow for designers creating marketing assets and technical documents within Figma, ensuring files remain lightweig

Please answer the questions as soon as possible. Any approximate date to next release.

My suggestion for Figma is to add a “slot” functionality to components. This would allow designers to create more flexible and customizable components, by adding empty slots or placeholders within a component. Users could then insert their own content or elements into these slots, without having to ungroup or modify the component itself. This functionality would save time and increase efficiency for designers, while also promoting a more consistent design system across a project or organization. I believe this feature would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability of Figma’s component system, and would be a valuable addition to the platform.

We’re using templates as an early way to handle branching in Figma Make. There’s a primary prototype that the team remixes and iterates from. As work progresses, we manually pull changes back together, and when a remix becomes the new source of truth, we promote it to the primary prototype and archive the old one.This process is very manual and hard to stay on top of. Having real branching and merging for Figma Make files, similar to what exists for design files, would be a game changer. Hoping something like this is on the radar and shipping soon. 🤞

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

There have been many times where I’m trying to compare the color values between two or more objects. However, every time I select another object the color panel disappears so I have to click on the swatch again and try to remember the values from the previous object. Sometimes I’ll just take a screenshot of the color picker values and paste them back into Figma but that’s not fun at all. One possible solution would be to make the color picker remain visible if the user ‘unpins’ it (ie. drags it away from the right panel). Then they could select the next object to see the color values and then close the picker when they’re done.

It would be incredibly helpful to either display or index the filename for an image asset added to Figma as an image “Fill”. We often build website and app comps with final assets and photography (including some stock assets). We are utilizing the Image Fill feature a

When I'm trying to upload a file, for instance bc I want to change an image, the file explorer always opens the desktop as default. It would be really smart to always show the last used folder as this is more likely to be the correct folder rather than desktop.

Can we add image mirror/flip option, specially in components.  

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

For items such as text box, shapes, and stickies, it would be great to be able to control vertical alignment in addition to the (pictured) existing horizontal alignment of text!

It would be very helpful for Figma to note any training updates (in playgrounds, videos) in their regular Release Notes. It's easy to miss the updates otherwise. I feel this makes sense because the learning resources are an important part of the Figma family of products.

We would love better support for URL’s in Figma Sites. Specifically:Support for `/` in page URL.  ie, `/legal/privacy-policy`. Currently this wont work, it will rename to `/legalprivacy-policy` Control over redirects, for remapping pages that don’t exist. Support for 404’s pageUse CaseWe have migrated from another platformIn the old platform we had urls like `/legal/privacy-policy`. These URL’s don’t work in Figma Sites because the slash gets stripped.This means that all of page links that were previously working are broken. We don’t have a way to recreate pages at the same URL because the `/` is stripped. We also don’t have a way to redirect users to an alternative pageThe reason why this is important is many of your users will be migrating from other systemsProposalModify your URL’s to allow `/` characters. Don’t strip them Allow u

“_component” or “.component” as a name, hides it from being publish, this is really handy when managing molecules that are specific to an organism. But often in the handoff file I am isolating these molecules for annotation, and as the designs evolve during the handoff process, they cannot be updated without changing the name of the component to make it publishable, publishing, and reverting the name.It would be really helpful when updating a library, to be able to toggle open the “hidden components” and manually select them to update.

the type of connectors is not enough for creating an Entity Relationship Diagram. The One-to-One , One-to-Many and Many-to-Many connector heads should be added too.

Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

Is it possible to view a user’s drafts as an Enterprise admin or a Team admin?As an admin I really should be able to view all files that have been created, but it seems that user’s drafts are still private even after the update.

Being able to edit images right in Figma is such a powerful capability and its definitely a differentiator vs Adobe Illustrator. However the controllers have been the same for years. I think some low hanging fruit, quality of life feature improvement could be to add more robust controllers. You could just copy the controllers in Apple Photos app: - Brilliance - Black Point - Vibrance - Sharpness - Definition/Clarity - Noise Reduction OR for extra credit you could maybe even add an interface similar to Photoshop’s Levels Adjustment:
