Slides and Figma prototype are products of same tool, there is no way to add prototype into slides which can let me me scroll through my desktop prototype 🤔This causes a lot of back and forth between different tabs while doing a presentation. 

Here, I have an orange colour at 60% opacityPreviously I could paste a hex value in, and the colour would be replaced and remain at 60%Now it goes to 100% no matter what I paste here. As soon as I paste in a new hex value, I have to set it back to 60%.I am replacing a colour - not the opacity. Why change opacity as well? This is awful, and as of today, it has really slowed down my workflow. Thanks.

Why are the "Save to version history" and "Show version history" options disabled in Figma Make, even on a paid account?

It would be really cool if we could access Code Connect for variables at a lower plan level. It appears you cannot use Code Connect for variables in any other plan than an Enterprise full seat due to not having access to “REST API for variables” feature.This would really help us in using the Figma MCP for better consistency but as a self employed professional $90 a month is a bit too rich for me personally.

HiI’m looking for a way to simply be able to highlight and make bold  at the same time if possible.It can also be just changing text color, again preferably with the option to add bold effect.I would like to then be able to customize shortcuts for this..Example:Blue highlight / Command - Shift - 1Yellow / Command - Shift - 2etc.I really can't believe that this is not an easily available option in Figma, seeing as highlight pens are very very popular for anyone studying anything, and categorizing things through color can be very helpful for those working with large amounts of text. So I hope anyone can let me know if there’s a way to do this, or that this message gets sent as feedback which was really my intention with writing this post so I hope I’ve posted it in the right place. This functionality would be incredibly useful and I think it’s something that should already be there since this software is very much used by students. I use Figma for writing because of the ways in which I c

Simplify “Assets” to only show all components of the local file instead of which page they are on. Too many clicks to navigate to find the component, and there isn’t a search function.

In the new UI there is no option to view all Assets of a library at once. You always have to click through the groups which is super annoying. There should be an option to have everything visible and not in a folder view!

When publishing a library, I would like an option to shows all nested elements at the top level. OR even better, when in a Figma file when working in the ‘Assets’ tab, I’d like an option in the grid view (in addition to the grid / list) which allows all elements to be displayed on the top level and not display them as nested items.I realize when publishing I can put all elements on the same page in a file and then I will have no nested items for the users in authoring when trying to pull in components. However, this makes the page too massive to work with. I have to break up the pages but when published, this make nested items which I don’t want. I want everything displayed on the top level as its SO MUCH faster for designers to easily pull in components/elements when they don’t constantly have to go back and forth between levels to find the components they need.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I would like to understand why Figma is using such a sophisticated, misleading, simply a sharp practice of billing their services? I am a freelance start-up that has been charged for 8 other people accessing the file I have created. I have allowed access only for two of them and they shared further (probably) and I have been charged an additional $120 for their access. I was never alerted to the fact that apart from the monthly subscription, there will be additional charges. I don’t want to be a part of a service that is so wishy-washy in their billing offer. It is a disgusting practice. Probably I will look for alternatives to this service.

Please implement AI into the variable editor. It would make re-factoring a design system infinitely easier if we had an AI that could go through and change everything to the way we need it. For example, we’ve decided we want to ‘master’ up the stroke width for field components, but now have to go through 50+ component variants telling them to alias the new master value

When assigning a variable to a component property, the search box displays both the variable name and its value, making it easy to know what you’re selecting: However, when you’re aliasing a variable from within the Variables page, the search popup does not show the target variable’s value, making it harder to confirm the correct selection: 

I’m not sure why this product is so disjointed.  integration is flimsy at best.

Hi, I absolutely love Figma Slides, but there are still some caveats (like the usage of variables that is missing). So here's the next one; editing and presenting from a mobile device using the Figma app. Whether it will be a standalone app or a feature in the current one, I want it, I need it, actually.Especially the editing part, I would like to be able to do that on tablet (it's 2025 guys, even keynote and powerpoint have it). Thanks :)

Hi, I’m looking for a faster way to apply a variable without having to open the dropdown every time. It would be very helpful if we could simply type something like #80 to quickly apply a variable. This would speed up the workflow a lot. Thanks!

I would like to be able to move existing groups within collections in variables.e.g. i’ve created group ‘paddings’ and realised later that i’d like to move it into a different collection (from ‘brand’ to ‘responsive’). At the moment I have to manually re-enter all the values. Pain in the butt if you don’t get your design system right at first go.I would like to be able to just drag and drop.

hey so im loving figma make ive built a few websites just by prompting but what i am confused about is why figma make and figma sites are 2 separate things i saw there is going to be an update to figma sites to be able to point and edit specific things but im just wondering where that then leaves figma make because now a couple of my websites are done i want to transfer them from figma make to figma site incase i want to make specific changes manually without prompting i just find the whole figma make and figma site separation confusing 

I want to be able to reference a frame from my design system file in a Site, for example.That way the only place I need to update a design is in my design file, not in the site. (or vice versa)

In Slides, presenter mode currently only supports dark theme.However, I have trouble reading white text on a dark background — the text blurs. It's similar to how I struggle driving at night due to light blurring.This is an accessibility issue. Could you implement a light theme option for presenter mode?Thank you!

The Problem: Hours Lost to Manual Data EntryIn my daily design workflow, my team frequently builds extensive, spreadsheet-like grids for presentations. Currently, I spend hours generating realistic cell data (using external AI tools) and manually copy-pasting hundreds of individual values into Figma component inputs.The Constraint: Strict Enterprise Plugin PoliciesWhile I know community plugins exist for data generation, they are not an option for my team. My organization operates under strict security policies and has globally banned almost all third-party plugins. To solve this at an enterprise level, we desperately need a native, out-of-the-box solution within Figma.The Proposed Solution: Native Generator FunctionsI propose adding native "Generator Functions" that can be linked directly to a component’s property inputs, operating similarly to how we currently apply variables.Here is how the workflow could look:Variable Picker Integration: When clicking the variable icon on a compone

Depending on the art the ruler guides are displayed on top of, the inability to change the color of the guides is also an issue. They seem to be a low opacity, which doesn’t make any sense at all to me with how I use ruler guides. Ruler guides are toggled on and off as needed. Why would I want the ruler guides to be unobtrusive and almost impossible to see? This is a real accessibility issue for designers using the Figma app. Figma needs to implement real accessibility controls by letting us select the color of UI elements such as ruler guides.

When you have a section selected, no colors show in the right-hand panel by default. So you click the “show colors” button and instead of showing you the colors, it gives a little preview of just 3 or so colors, and then you have to click again to show all the colors - this time with no prompt.What gives? Why make this take 2 clicks to see the damn colors? Also the second state takes up even less space than the first, just combine them into one so there’s a prompt for the user and a preview, or default to the second state from the beginning! Or the first state, frankly it doesn’t matter much its just annoying that its 2 clicks. Who would ever be like “Oh these 3 randomly chosen colors with no labels are exactly what I wanted to see here, all done.”UX rant over thanks.

Hi, I absolutely love that we get to customize our sticky colors, but the text color is not adjustable and is not auto set to meet wcag standards for color contrast for text, making text difficult to see. The example below shows text color choice should have been black instead of white. Is this adjustment in any of your upcoming updates?  

Whether you are a major corporation or an emerging startup, you would have to decide which design system to utilise for your UX mockups.Do you choose a tried-and-true one like MUI or Carbon, which has a wide variety of created and produced components that are quick to implement but lack your brand's distinctive feel and representation?Or Do you choose an entirely original system that you build and install from the ground up to best represent your brand in terms of colour, font, iconography, and other elements that really set you apart?Let's examine the peculiar argument between Sir UI Kit and Captain Custom to see what works best for you.Consistency vs. Uniqueness88% of users anticipate scalability and smooth multi-device experiences from UI Kits, which also save developers time with defined patterns. Faster delivery and brand consistency are advantageous to businesses.Although they take more time and money, custom components provide distinctive, unforgettable experiences that are esse

The idea is to have a stack of fallback fonts like in CSS. This is VERY useful in Asian languages such as Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, where there are several fonts, but they lack good Latin and numeric characters. In those cases, we replace those characters with a nicer font. In CSS, it is only one line. How it works: If the stack is “Avenir, Noto Sans JP”. If the character is in the first font it will use that font, if it is not there, like a Chinese character, it will jump to the next font. In Figma, we need to search for and replace text. Of course, that doesn’t work with variables. Illustrator has a more complex tool called “Composite Font”, just in case you want to take a look. The Asian design community will be very grateful to have this feature.
