Support the tree structure of the document management!

In the case of multi-designers, multi-projects and multi-documents, it is really tiring to manage and classify files. I hope to have file management with tree structure like confluence!!! 🥶

Constraints Issue with Fixed Layers in Prototype Mode

Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with a bug for years now. We all know that to make a layer stretch with the frame horizontally, we can set its constraints to “Left + Right.” However, when the layer is set to “Fixed” in the Prototype tab, it’s no longer possible to select “Left + Right” in the constraints. I noticed that several people have reported this issue in the past few years(Here). Is there any chance this could be fixed soon? (It’s really frustrating!)

Switch to read-only mode

I get nervous having edit-access to a Figma file sometimes, especially as an engineer. I don’t want to accidentally make a change to something in the file. It would be great if there was a way to switch myself to a read-only mode (temporarily) to avoid accidentally breaking/changing something. For now, I’ve just been creating a new branch. If I change something on the branch, then I don’t need to worry.

Missing Logic: Prototyping with Variable Variables v. Handling States in Canvas w/ Variable Modes

Hello, Is it just me or is it challenging to prototype w/ Variable Modes vs. Variables? I kind of think of it like managing states in Canvas vs. Prototyping. In canvas, toggling modes is great, but with prototypes, mode toggles become almost useless unless you’re doing a broade based switch. Then ultimately what’s happening for me right now is that I’m creating both mode differences and single variables so I can prototype with precision but also handle manual changes in Canvas. One example would be setting up a profile card that is disabled, but based on another component selection becomes active. In canvas, you manually make adjustments and point arrows for what happens conditionally. But if you try to move that logic into an active clickable prototype you either lose precision or break your project entirely. Right now the only solution is to create individual variables and maybe multiple collections… But of course this creates confusion all around. There’s a gap in the logic b/w pro

Section Statuses besides "Ready for Dev": Approved, In Progress, Archived, etc

I love the new “Ready for Dev” status option on Sections, but would love to add and use other statuses relevant to my process. For example, it’d be great to have a “Ready for Design Review” and “Ready for PM Review” statuses so that everyone knows where things are at.

More control over font options (restrict fonts shown to users by default)

Any way to restrict fonts shown to users by default? Would like to see only assets we’ve allowed to simplify choices for designers. Additionally, fonts (like Noto Sans) are brutal to work with. Only want to support variants that are used within the design system.

Option to not open file(s) in Dev Mode

All files open in dev mode = not a fan. How can I turn this off? It isn’t a great user experience to have to do this manually every day for every file. Can the regular, non-dev mode, be the initial load standard? When you have 20 files you’re in daily this just isn’t the best.

Improve the New Position Sticky Implementation

Am I the only one who’s left wanting by the new position sticky feature? In my opinion, there are three main problems with the new sticky feature: It’s not compatible with auto layout SolutionMake the sticky elements always appear on top of other elements (and later add a z-index feature so we can fine tune the behavior) The sticky element has to be an immediate child of the scrolling container SolutionMake the sticky behavior relative to the closest scroll container instead, so the sticky element can be a grand child, great grand child etc. Only works for vertical scrolling and can only stick to the top of the container SolutionAdd an offset property (top/right/bottom/left) - like the CSS implementation - super simple, but pretty flexible (only problem with the CSS implementation is the overflow: hidden limitation) What I want to be able to make None of which is possible with the new sticky feature unfortunately HTML prototype Note the sticky footer inside th

We need max and min character on text property

hi Figma, i need your magic. I require both a maximum and minimum character limit for the text property. This will allow me to establish clear guidelines for UX writers, ensuring that their content fits within the designated character limits and maintains a tidy design and layout.

Prototype interactions should follow the most recent configuration

An annoyance I deal with on a daily basis is having to change what feels like nearly every single prototype interaction, because Figma has chosen something else for me. In practically every interaction, I use the Spring - Slow timing, but unless I’ve just literally just created an interaction and made a second one, Figma chooses ‘Ease out’'. Also, when I do switch it from easing to spring, Figma always changes my duration to 600ms. This is incredibly frustrating, as I’ve already set the duration I want, but Figma messed up the easing, so now I have to also revert its duration decision. I’d love to get a statistic on how many extra clicks this has cost me over my years of using this software. Figma should use the most recent duration and timing functions chosen, and not change the duration when changing easing modes.

Improve Video File Management: Access to Links and Metadata

Currently, when video files are imported into Figma, we lose access to their original metadata, making it difficult to locate the file on the hard drive. Could we enable the option to view the link and metadata of imported videos to streamline the process of finding them later? For example, if I import an image and later delete it, I can export it back from Figma and retrieve the original file. However, this is not possible with videos.

Give unique access to specific pages

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 with responsive layers and explore edge-cases. I want to leave experiments (Some would

Disable 'observe' mode

As per this discussion - How to disable 'observe' mode - #5 by Dave2 - I think it would be useful to be able to turn off ‘observe mode’. It is very annoying being watched while I work, unless I specifically am trying to share/demonstrate something. It is the digital version of someone looking over your shoulder. I dont want to have to remove people’s permissions from the file just to stop them digitally stalking me.

Locking Page Names to Prevent Accidental Changes

Proposal: Locking Page Names to Prevent Accidental Changes Accidentally deleting or renaming a page is a common issue, especially in collaborative environments where multiple designers work on the same file. This becomes even more critical when dealing with essential files like a design system, where unintentional changes can cause confusion and disrupt workflows. I suggest introducing an option to lock a page name, preventing accidental edits. When locked, renaming would require an intentional action to unlock, similar to how locking layers works in Figma’s layer panel. Key benefits: Prevents errors by reducing accidental renaming or deletion of critical pages. Ensures consistency across the team by preventing accidental changes, allowing team members to reliably find and reference the correct pages without disruptions or confusion. Protects key files like design systems from unintended changes. This simple feature could save time, reduce frustration, and enhance collaborative effic

Show frame name in prototype

Hello, I got a problem while prototyping and I would be interested in your opinion about it. When you’re prototyping on a big project we all know that it becomes really difficult with all those lines connecting a component to another one. I usually use the prototype to test the interaction but what if when I find an error on the prototype? It becomes really difficult to understand which precise frame it is. So in the prototype preview, I think it would be great to have not (only) the screen number “12/56” but the name of that frame to make it easier to find in the page. I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this problem (maybe it’s just because I’m not using the right way to prototype?). Have anyone of you experienced this?

Hyphenation for Text Tool

When I write create long paragraphs with text tool on the Figma I get the unnecessary spaces on edges of the paragraph like below. But I think if there a hyphenation feature (like Adobe Photoshop) it could add dashes automatically on the texts and fix this issue. So, what do you think about this feature feedback?

Optimize component description readability

Please increase text contrast and add padding for the component description container. Even better remove the rounded container completely, as it reduces the width of the description text. → Especially for larger amounts of complex documentation, this currently really is quite bad readability.

Developer & Designer Sorting System

Hi Figma Team, I have a suggestion to improve workflow efficiency. Introducing a system to sort developers and designers could be incredibly beneficial. For instance, when a section or frame is ready, designers could mark it as “Ready for Dev,” triggering a notification to developers to start work. This streamlined communication would save time and reduce confusion. Additionally, this sorting system could enable tailored features for each role, like automated checklists, role-specific notifications, and progress tracking. It would enhance collaboration and productivity across teams. Thank you for considering this idea—I believe it could add significant value to Figma! Also would love to here from you guys back in reply to this feedback. Best regards, Millind Sinha

Figma Slides: Multiple decks in one file (like Figma Design)

When I was doing slides with Figma Design, I would have a page for each presentation within a specific workstream, something like the following hierarchy in my organization. Project name: ClientName — File name: Packaging Design —— Page: R1 Exploration - 24.01.01 —— Page: R2 Directions - 24.02.01 —— Page: R3 Refinement - 24.03.01 With the new Slides, this 3-level hierarchy seems to have been broken down into 2 levels, with the lack of an ability to have different versions of a deck within one Slides file. I miss that. In its current state, I foresee the Project folder in the organization being inundated with too many random Slides files that become difficult to organize.

Add the ability to wrap text around objects

There’s currently no way to wrap text around an object like an icon, spot illustration, or image. The only solution is to manually break the copy into 2 text boxes and add the second one underneath the icon. We had big plans for our design system to include scaled variants of components where text would need to wrap around icons and spot illustrations to save screen space. So not having this feature makes it hard to design for accessibility and see how components will scale. It’s a little tricky to get the line height right, and also means we can’t easily add scaled variants to our existing design system library. It’s also stopping us from creating a plugin where designers could stress test their designs with larger accessible fonts. Would be great if Figma could add this as a feature. Has anyone else had this issue? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Show Comments in Version History

Hello, Someone already posted this, but i was too late to see it, so im posting again. I have a very similar issue. For my part I find it almost impossible to see where a comment should have been if you’ve already moved things around and of course simply Showing Version History doesn’t include comments even if they were present in those versions. I’ve had to rely on context clues and directly asking the commenter for clarity when this happens. Below in quotes was the original poster’s issue “Would the Figma Team please show comments in the SHOW VERSION HISTORY? Right now, I look at comments in the current version, inspect the SHOW VERSION HISTORY, and take a screenshot to see where an orphaned comment should go. And I will look at the comments and the versions because I want to see the state of the wireframes on that date. Thanks for the consideration!”

Currently, corners can only be rounded at whatever size you set. However, it would be great if you could set different styles of corners such as inverted rounded or chamfer as you can in Illustrator. The goal would be to create a style like the image below: Does anyone use a plugin to achieve this effect?
