Feature request: Make variables accessible via floating modal optionally.I’m building a personal portfolio and I don’t have a design system or library. I have also not designed several mockups beforehand, so I’m designing inside Sites. For a very small project like this, it’s not unreasonable. However, I’m finding it incredibly difficult to use variables in the same way as I have been doing so in Figma Design. Previously, I could eyedropper colours from my designs and seamlessly create variables because these could be managed from a floating modal. Changes made to my variables could be seen updating live in my designs because the modal could be moved around and did not completely obscure my design. In Sites, I need to constantly be switching between my file and the variables view, this for each variable I want to add and each time I want to make any modification to my variables.I understand that features are different from one Figma product to the next, but if a feature exists across 2

Add the ability to activate prototype effects when a user scrolls to specific vertical positions.For example: Trigger an effect automatically when reaching a certain Y position (e.g., 1836px). Trigger an effect between two Y positions, starting at one point and stopping at another (e.g., start at 1836px, stop at 1936px). This feature would make Figma Prototyping far more powerful, enabling precise scroll-driven interactions and animations across designs.

So the conclusion of today's update is that it is not easy to use and is prone to component explosion. It is only used in specific scenarios and is not as comfortable as using large components and instances. If we add slot content for switching in the future, there may be many gameplay options. Moreover, it is interesting to convert slots into components without using them. However, the problem now is that if I create a slot, about 3-5 components will be generated, which will explode later on

Hi Team,Super excited about slots. I was at the Figma Sydney event yesterday, loved hearing Zoe talk about the process. I’ve been trialling it out today. I notice that we have started putting slots into some of our DS components, particularly helpful for the the input field component, which is roughly 44 px high.I notice that if I have an instance of an input field into my design and try and use the slot in the leading icon spot, if my browser or window is zoomed out too far, I notice that the pink ring shows up but the tiny plus in the middle to add the component. I have to zoom in in order to see the plus icon and then interact with slots, because I notice that the area around or the pink field itself is not directly interactable.  Loving it otherwise!

I have created some slots for columns in my table component and I cannot duplicate them from the parent component instance. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. To solve this, I have to add a duplicate using the + button, and then they can be duplicated without any problems.

Is there a way to reset the prototype with an interaction without forcing the user to press R to reset? I’d rather continue the flow and just reset some key components and variables rather than take them out of the flow and start the whole thing again. Resetting variables is OK, but there are a few components (an add to trolley one for example) I need to reset back to its original state but I don’t see a way to do this.

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.

Request for a new feature of dividing flows into sections and the ability to show/hide flows in prototype view’s left sidebar. When flows are added in a section flows in each section can be shown/hidden in prototype view.

Feature Request: Native Lottie (.json) File Support in Figma PrototypesSummary:Please consider adding native support for Lottie .json files within Figma prototypes, allowing designers to preview and interact with lightweight animations directly in the canvas and prototype mode.Why This Matters:Lottie animations are widely used across mobile and web platforms due to their small file size and rich visual capabilities. Currently, Figma only allows Lottie integration via plugins like LottieFiles, which limits functionality to static previews (GIF/SVG) or external exports. This creates friction in the design-to-development workflow and reduces fidelity in prototype presentations.Benefits of Native Support:Real-time playback of .json animations in prototypes. Improved design accuracy and stakeholder communication. Seamless handoff to developers using Lottie in production. Competitive parity with tools like Adobe XD and Framer.Suggested Implementation Ideas:Add a native Lottie layer type or c

Hello. I’m creating a design sandbox with some instructions for designers. I want to use images as instructions and I want those images to link to another page in the file. Is it doable? I tried doing it with prototype settings but that only works when file is viewed as prototype and that’s not what I need. Thanks

HelloFor years, Figma has been the gold standard for interface design. It’s fast, collaborative, and somehow manages to make design feel fun again. But even with all its brilliance, there’s always been one small—but incredibly frustrating—gap in its system.Figma doesn’t have subpages.And honestly, that’s wild.The chaos of one giant pageIf you’ve ever worked on a complex design system or a product with multiple flows, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You open a Figma file, and suddenly you’re staring at 200 artboards, 50 prototypes, and a sea of arrows that look like someone spilled spaghetti on your screen.Sure, you can organize things into pages. But those pages quickly become their own mess. Before you know it, you’ve got 25 of them—each representing some combination of “v2,” “final_final,” and “do_not_touch.” Not to mention the pages for design system tokens, experiments, and archived explorations.It’s not that Figma’s organization tools are bad—they’re just flat. And that’s

Hi I think it’s necessary to allow the canvas background to change based on Figma’s current theme. It’s #F5F5F5 by default but it should also have another color for the time Figma’s theme is set to dark.

Hello Figma team,I'd like to request the addition of spell checking support for the same languages that are already available in Figma's UI language settings.Currently, Figma only offers spell checking for English, which creates challenges for designers working in other languages. When creating designs with Portuguese content (or any other language), I don't get any spelling error indicators, making it easy to miss typos and grammatical mistakes.Interestingly, Figma already supports these languages for the UI/interface translation:• Japanese (日本語)• French (Français)• German (Deutsch)• Spanish - Spain (Español España)• Spanish - Latin America (Español Latinoamérica)• Korean (한국어)• Portuguese - Brazil (Português do Brasil)Since these languages are already integrated into Figma's interface, it would make sense to extend this language support to include spell checking in the text editor as well. This would create a more consistent and complete multilingual experience.This would be incredib

Hi!It’s been a while I’m waiting for a feature that allows designers to associate different devices to different flows!It’s frustrating to constantly change the device while testing or presenting a demo.As I usually work between desktop and mobile, would be great to associate different flows to different devices.Thanks!

Currently there is no way to download or export videos out of Slides - only workaround is to copy the slide into Design, switch to dev mode, then download it.This is obviously a time churn, and leaves those on a Collab seat unable to export these. Request to add the ability to export videos (and automatically export them when outputting to pptx) from Figma Slides.

Comments should be available in the hand tool mode.I don’t want to accidentally modify something so I use the hand tool (also to move through the pictures), but it’s frustrating that I need to switch to the selection tool in order to view and add comments.

I started using Figma Make for a project and the UX was super nice. Easy to switch pages in my react application. Now, the drop down selection button is gone and makes it very hard to navigate between pages especially when its not all connected yet. It was also nice visual to see holistically all the pages you created and can toggle back and forth and from a preview url you generated to within your app.

It would be helpful if section and top level frame names would be visible in dev mode’s focus view. (Or at least an option to turn them on.)Why? As designers we have grouped designs into sections and named them accordingly when handing over, so it’s clear for our devs what they relate to… only to find out they are not even seeing the namings. This has led to confusion.I know the section/frame names would be visible in the side panel, top right, but only when you click into them. This is not helpful especially when viewing flows or more complex designs and nothing has a name over it.

Hi,I'm building a public Community plugin (Bottom Line) that calls the REST API for comment data. The REST API needs a file key, but figma.fileKey is restricted to private plugins — so users have to paste their file URL manually every time they switch files.The file key is already in the browser URL, so there's no security reason to hide it. Please consider exposing figma.fileKey (or an equivalent) to public plugins.Multiple developers have hit this same wall. Would love to know if this is on the roadmap.Thanks,Sarwesh

Allowing to embed links in Behance is helpful but it would be great if it’s taken to the next level. Currently, once you embed a link on Behance, you can scroll down and view the design, even clicking prototype works like a charm. One issue I’ve faced is in embed view the prototype doesn’t allow clicks that take the person outside of Figma. I created a case study in which I added links to my research captured in Google Docs thinking it would take the user there if clicked but anything that takes the user out of the Figma link doesn’t work. If we can fix this it would be great as we won’t have to add images on Behance and my case study could become more lively and easily managable. Thanks

I’d love the ability to annotate sections! It’s great that we can annotate frames and even individual components, but sometimes I have different user flows in different sections and I’d love to be able to describe to my devs the difference between sections and why they’re broken up the way they are. It doesn’t necessarily make sense to put the annotation on the first page or element in the section.

Here’s an idea. When I open the variables modal window, it’s wide enough to show the little icon to assign another variable to my new variable. I literally, every - single - time - have to widen the modal window by just say 40 pixels maybe, to just be able to click the little hexagon control in the Variables’ value column. Has no one designing this tool ever assigned a variable before? And no, before you say “open it full screen” - I will never use the variables page in full screen unless I’m fully designing an entire token system with multiple modes… I just need to open the modal, assign a static variable to my dynamic variable and I have to move my mouse to the 3px wide spot to grab the window edge and move it just like - no kidding - 10 or 20 px… it’s pretty ridiculous PLEASE SOMEONE FROM FIGMA SEE THIS AND HELP. While on the topic of modal windows… why is the interactions modal designed in one way when it’s just action, but then it rearranges itself into a whole other setup when yo

I had a page “Components” to manage all my local components. There are some new updates in the main file that require me to resolve the conflicts. When updating, it allows me to choose only Main or Branch for ALL COMPONENTS. But some components I need to update from the main file, some I need the current changes in the branch.  

Hello, I wish Figma allowed to tag @all or @everyone in comment so I could ask for feedback all file participants rather than having to list them all. Thanks

Right now, we’re limited to the parallax effect, which feels a bit outdated - I’d love to see something more modern.At the moment, designers who want more advanced animations move to Framer - essentially Figma, but focused heavily on text and scroll-based animations. There are tons of YouTube tutorials about it. The workflow there is very convenient, but constantly exporting from Figma to Framer has become exhausting.I would really like to see these features - which I consider extremely important for designers - built directly into the Figma we all know and love.
