Just like driving width and height, I want to dynamically position elements in weird ways too. But not weird like this:

Okay so I've found 2 things that are pretty annoying when dealing with the client-facing side of designing. 1. I typically only share prototype links with clients to give proper feedback. I don't like giving them back-end access to the files because they're usually messy, but I can if I prep a new file. So, I've noticed that when I comment on the design file from the backend version, yes it does show on the prototype side but the client receives an email saying I've tagged them in a comment with a link to said comment. When they click this link to go to the comment, they're redirected to gain access to the backend rather than the prototype side. This is extremely frustrating. I (and my team) should be back to comment from the backend with it feeding through to the prototype properly. 2. It would be amazing to be able to stop allowing comments on prototypes. When we have a creative that has been signed off, being able to stop allowing comments means that this is the final version and th

STOP CHANGING THE UX LAYOUT!!! I just got used to the new UX after a forced update a few month ago and now the crop button disappeared!

The default UI font-size is really small (icons are mostly okay), They so small that I can hardly read the comments and the page/layer names in the panels (maybe I’m a little old or my laptop is more zoomed out) but it would be great if they are some user-friendly feature for people with weaker eye power like things like thicker guide lines and zoom in on words similar to PSD preference UI font sizeLike OMG how to read this? Japanese/chinese text are so small it is hardly readable on characters with more strokes 

Teams would like the ability to archive branches that have been merged in their own time instead of them automatically being archived and having to view them in the history tab. They’d like the designers to choose when to archive those branches. Teams want to be able to see a history of merged branches and actually see them, but not necessarily restore to that branch.  We’d like this to be an option to turn on per project or in admin settings.  Thanks! 

Having a “reset scroll position” like what Figma Design has is a must. Currently, when I scroll a frame inside a slide and then I proceed to the next slide in my deck, the scroll location is maintained, and as a result my next slide is already scrolled to a position I did not need it to be.

Is there any possible reason for this other than value extraction? 5 Templates, or pay more than 2x more than you are now.   

Ctrl + tab should switch between most recent tabs rather than switching between tabs sequentially.

For the LOVE OF GOD. STOP UPDATING THE FIGMA UI. I'm trying to finish my work, NOT waste time understanding what each update has done to my tools and HOW TO USE THEM FROM NOW ON. Jesus Christ. Stop forcing us to update to a shittier version each time. Can you just let us have what we already figured out? LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. 

I know If I use the option key and hover, I get the distance between objects but I would like a feature that shows the distance exactly the way the option key does but without start making a copy of the element. If I start moving it I just want to see the distance to the element above for example. If I do this now it’s going to get to a point where it starts measuring from the copy I’m holding.

It seems really odd to make that the collection name for variable is not include when looking for variables: The reason that vertical-padding shows up is because in the description of the variable, I added button. This is at least a workaround to this issue but having to do that for each variable is annoying and easily forgettable

I imagine this limitation exists to prevent infinitely nested instances, but there are definitely use cases for instances nested within itself. I run into this problem with my UI “section” component which is basically a container with a title and some content. I need to be able to replace the content with some other content that also contains sections (e.g. to build a nested UI tree).

Allowing for styles to encompass all of the data in any given section of the properties panel and be able to combine them into a meta-style or object style.Another way to think of it, if you want to save a stroke style you could save all of the information in the stroke section of the properties panel and the stroke settings within that style. Weight, color, style (dotted vs solid), sides of object (if applicable), etc.Expanding on that, being able to save the style from each section of the panel to a meta-style or object style (akin to adobe illustrator or indesign) so we can use all of the same styles on a new, unique object without using components. Sometimes two objects need to be styled the same way without them all being tied to the structure/content of a main component. It would speed up the use of components and variants a lot as well.A good example is making a different meta-style for each of the states of a button. You set the fill color, stroke color, stroke weight, stroke j

Hello, I just discovered Figma Sites and wanted to create a Portfolio, however I cannot find the option to publish it and connect it to my custom domain. On the website and on youtube, everyone seems to have an option to add connected domain in the Site Settings under the Domain menu, however the menu for me consists of just Base Domain menu. (See screenshot)I would love to resolve this issue and connect to my custom domain. I am using education plan and as stated on Figma Website I should be able to host one website. Does anyone else have the same issue?  

This is a feature that would be amazing for a web image optimization processRight now there’s a lot of manual effort between Figma and Photoshop to resize images, then get them all exported as 80% jpgs or webp files

Hi When will sorting and advanced search for CMS elements be available?Is there any approximate date?Thanks!

I created a component, with some variant and properties.This component is then used in a Buzz template. This is then used to create social media assets.  When I first copy-past the component into the Buzz template file, the properties are here (all of them), and as soon as I publish the templates, they di (see attached screenshots).Also, the nested properties work perfectly.This is weird, is there anything I’m doing wrong, I don’t get it.And I also noticed, that basically I cannot add Variant properties in a Buzz file, it just doesn’t work. Maybe there is a bug on and that is why it removes my orignal properties ?  

I have been doing more logos in Figma, but usually have to also provide an .eps file. The issue with exporting as an SVG and importing into Adobe Illustrator is that the font gets converted to Outlines. Then I have to re-create the font in Illustrator

In addition to having AI design the entire wireframe (which results in a lot of output that isn’t really relevant or useful to the user’s specific needs), Figma should implement a version of its AI tool that improves/beautifies user-created basic wireframes (eg. takes the text/button names/general layout that someone has already created and adds colors, changes typography, moves things around so they’re visually more pleasing, etc). This would allow users who have a general vision of what they want their product to look like to save time creating more detailed wireframes so they can more easily transition to the prototyping phase. 

My Figma files are growing with screens, especially example screens to showcase various states. I’d like to keep them organized by arranging them in separate pages, but the thing is, I need to be able to prototype from one screen to another, over different applications to showcase a complete user flow. Would there be a feature one day where you can prototype between different pages, like Excel for example, where you can refer to cells in other tabs or even files. Would be nice.

I often work with Figma files that look great visually, but SEO performance sometimes drops after development.What best practices do you follow to ensure proper heading structure, clean HTML, fast load speed, and SEO-friendly layouts when converting Figma designs into live websites?I’ve been documenting my workflow for SEO-friendly development here:Rupak ChaulagainWould love to hear how others handle this during handoff and development.

I was pretty impressed with Figma Make. I used 2300 credits on a project.Today I booted it up (same project) and the quality completely dropped off. The work has been unusable.Even simple things like the AI saying they added an SVG to a background of a section. It doesn’t show up, asked it to add it, or change opacity, or change size, and it goes through reasoning, says it’s fixed, and it still doesn’t show up.Other things like using the wrong color palette, even after being told to refocus the design on the color palette.Most things are coming out as cookie-cutter template style generic designs now.Is today a bad day for the AI or some bug behind the scenes? Is it because of the credit limit? If it’s a credit limit situation, why can’t I just purchase more capacity? I shouldn’t have to wait a month to have consistent work produced by the tool.If I can’t purchase more capacity is there any other work around anyone has used? 

Give Figma the ability to display an artboard(s) of one Figma file to another Figma file. So, rather than copying and pasting between two files (detaching it from its source of truth), the designer can “insert/link” the artboard to be displayed on another Figma file. Then, if the inserted artboard is updated, it will also update in the file where it is inserted (or any other instances). Very much like components work today but w/out the need to turn the entire artboard into a component.

An edge case however I’d love to see this update eventually. I have a segmented button component that contains nested button component variants. This segmented button component lives in many different places in my UI, utilising the different forms of the nest button component (text , icon, icon and text) I’d like to be able to set a min width to the nested button components inside my segmented button component instance WITHOUT having to set the min width to the master button component. Thank you.

I happened upon this quick action: “Debug broken fixed-scrolling layers”. I searched Google and this Forum, and I can’t find any documentation or mentions of this feature at all… Figma team, I would love to see documentation for quick actions! It would help in scenarios like this (I found a quick action and I want to learn more about it). It would also help Figma users discover useful quick actions! I’m sure there are tons of quick actions out there that I don’t know about yet.
