Hello all 👋 I was wondering if it’s possible to make a frame adaptable to the browser screen height dynamically when prototyping. I found a plugin (Auto resize height) but no sure if it’s for this purpose, anyway, it’s seems to be broken. Thanks for your help!

Hello,I am looking to create a good hero section for my site, where it should take the height of browser in the first fold. The subsequent sections can be of fixed heights based on content. I need something like 100vh to have for my hero section.

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

Hi! I upgraded my Figma account from using the free version to the basic plan. Since I did that I can no longer switch to design mode when I could do that with my free account. Please can someone fix this asap. Otherwise I will downgrade my account.

I want to display the newest created blog post in a section of a Figma Site. I’ve connected the CMS collection to the frame and set the limit to be 1. It then only shows the top item of the collection list. But when I create a new item in the collection (a new blog post), it’s added to the bottom of the list. Then trying to reorder it and drag the new list item to the top, it stays there for a millisecond, but then the item slides down to the bottom again. So I guess that’s a bug. A workaround is to drag the new item to row 2 and then take the top row and place it below. That way I manage to make the newest item end up at the top of the list. But will be more cumbersome as the list grows. So a feature request for the future would be to set which sorting order you would want in the frame itself. So there I can select “Newest to oldest” or “Top to bottom”. Then I wouldn’t need to maintain the order of newly created items all the time if I were to us

Currently, Figma Sites only allows publishing to either a base domain or a custom domain, but not both at the same time. It would be highly beneficial to support publishing to both domains simultaneously—using the base domain for internal testing/sharing and the custom domain for live access.This would enable smoother staging workflows, reduce reconfiguration effort during updates, and align with platforms like Framer that support multi-domain publishing. Use Case:Teams often want to: Use the base domain for internal reviews, testing, or quick sharing Use the custom domain for public/live access During iterations or updates, having both domains active helps avoid disruption to the live site

Hello everyone!Somehow Figma design started to show tags on video in canvas. Not in jam, not in dev mode or prototype, just basic canvas.Didn’t find any options to turn it off, figma support agent didn’t help.I have no HTML tags option in right sidebar, no annotations enabled and such, how can I turn them off? 

In Sketch, holding Option + Command allows users to drag a selected object from anywhere on the canvas, without needing to hover directly over the object. This feature significantly enhances workflow efficiency, especially in complex designs where objects may be obscured or challenging to click precisely. In Figma, dragging an object requires the cursor to be directly over the object or its bounding box, which can be limiting in certain scenarios. Introducing a similar functionality in Figma would streamline the design process, reduce unnecessary clicks, and improve overall usability for designers accustomed to this behavior in other tools. Implementing this feature would be a valuable addition for users transitioning from Sketch and would enhance Figma’s user experience by providing more flexible object manipulation.

Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!

Hi Figma Team, Why can’t user set preferred screen size as default in 'Options menu"? can we have this feature in future?

I often work across multiple pages within a single Figma file/project, and I’d love the ability to open different pages as separate tabs in the desktop app—just like I can open different files. Currently, I have to either open and close multiple pages many times to get what I need from other pages, use multiple windows or duplicate the file, which isn't ideal for managing design systems or multi-page projects.This would greatly improve workflow efficiency for designers managing large files or working across different sections (e.g., desktop vs. mobile layouts) simultaneously.Please consider adding support for tabbed views of multiple pages within the same file.

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

There is no shortcut button for copy link to selection Copy link to selection is imprtant for working with llms - it’s become a high priority feature - need to have a shortcut  

When creating an Open Session link, I would like to only allow certain email domains to use it. Our institution does not allow Guests and a link that will allow anyone access is not allowed. We only want our authenticated users to have Open access. 

I can’t seem to find a way to Hide all lower levels of my mind maps. I click on the arrows, and nothing happens. It’s making a mess. I can’t use it for practical reasons, presentation-wise it’s kinda frustrating. Is there any viable way already for me to do it? If it’s yet to come, please do it 😍 it’s a game changer for me and many others who are still waiting for it

Engineers on my team just noticed that they can’t see and export local variables unless they have edit permissions. This is a huge limitation since not everyone on my team can have edit permissions due to licensing/cost. My ideas is to keep local variables visible to View Only collaborators. They should not be able to edit the variables.

In the new UI, the Figma tabs aren’t readable on the lighter ver.Could you please add the option for a darker tabs line like in the old UI?See example below.  

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them.I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.[The title of this post was edited from “LAUNCHED: Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” to “Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” by a moderator on 17-Jan-2026.]

Currently, only Preview and Code edit modes are visible. Are additional editing modes accessible?

The issue being faced today:I want to have preferred values only show up under the instance swap feature. Not searchable in the assets panel, as these are typically sub-components that I don’t want to be used on their own (examples: a dropdown menu used in a global navigation component, the vector for an icon used to instance swap in an actual icon component to control the sizes via icon properties, a single segment used inside a donut chart, pre-configured links or buttons commonly used inside a bigger component to make it easier to select from a pre-set). Why this isn’t possible:Unpublished and hidden components are treated the same in Figma. Hiding/unpublishing a component in Figma is currently the only way for it to not show up in the assets panel. Hiding/unpublishing a preferred value leads to additional issues: Preferred values cannot be selected by library consumers if they are unpublished. Preferred values

I want to organize my components into Icons, Buttons, Fields etc but these are already inside a folder and figma does not let me create any more nested folders so I need to browser all my 200+ components from one heap? And I’m not going to move them out from the folder because I need the parent folders too. Very bad designer experience!

It used to be that when you changed the fill on a shape from solid to a gradient, it would make the second gradient color the existing solid color with an opacity of 0%. This was great and really sped up my process. In the last update they changed this behavior so now it makes the second gradient color some arbitrary darker shade which just adds more clicks to my workflow and some annoyance especially since it used to work better… Is anyone else having this problem?

ngl, the new ui3 is pretty good. the only thing i dont like is the toolbar position. im still not used to it. maybe add an option to move it to the top?

Hello 👋 First, I’m happy about the opportunity where I can make an impact on this amazing product. My idea is pretty simple but can make a huge difference in the way we share files with stakeholders and colleagues. I suggest adding the ability to give different access (viewer/editor) for pages within a Figma file. Because in most cases, we’re trying to include a whole project, feature, or function, whether small or big, in one Figma file - it becomes a real pain-point if the lowest level of grant permissions it’s the file itself instead of the pages within the file. I’m sure a lot in this community can agree with me that many times you gave people access - it was relevant to certain areas of the file, and less to other areas. I want to give content writers access to a specific page where they can edit and review content. I want to give developers access to a specific page where they can play

Figma does let us move an object’s rotation origin with Alt + R / Option + R in the design canvas, but Smart Animate only documents support for matching layers plus property changes like position, scale, opacity, fill, and rotation/orientation. Because rotation origin is not listed as a Smart Animate property, prototypes often don’t honor the off-center pivot the way you expect.Use case: Opening door. Pendulum motion.
