Why is this not possible?

In Previous (old UI) of Figma many things was clear and straightforward.Here is a small example from Pages list on the left sidebarProblem: Now on UI3 the title “Pages” doesn’t look like a title, sometimes I am  confusing it with the list. Because in some of project I give a  name “Pages” to my page. So first Pages should look like a title not a part of the list Second problem of UI3 is no checkmark icon on selected page (on left sidebar). Previous (old UI) had a  checkmark on current page.  But on UI3 it has just background which is same as hover color.  There are much more things which was better than new UI3. Comparing UI  

Now there is no way to create a wrap for layers of different proportions, it breaks, it works only for layers of equal size vertically, make it so that it is possible to create a wrap also vertically, because for the wrap you also do not work negative values ​​for layers that are located one under the other in the wrap container, this would allow you to create a dynamic grid relative to layers of different proportions in the layout

It has always been my ambition to become a nurse, but when it came the day of the HESI examination, I freaked out. I simply could not figure out where to start and felt so much pressure. One evening, I was browsing and came across a HESI exam help site with practice exams and ideas for studying. I thought maybe I should try this. I started to follow the suggestions step by step, and my confidence built. When the day of the exam finally arrived, I was nervous, but I was prepared. A few days after the completion of the exam, I was able to view my results - I passed! I was relieved, and it proved to me that with the right help and a lot of work, anything you wish to achieve may be obtainable. Now I am one step closer to my goal and more motivated than before.

When working on complex prototypes, I often reuse interactions (e.g. animation curves) across screens or steps. In order to do this, I have to manually rebuild them each time. This requires a lot of work - selecting the interaction where I used my custom curves last time, open the interaction panel, copy the custom curves, go to the new interaction I want to apply the same curves to, open the interaction panel, select “custom”, and paste. It would be great if a) I could copy & paste interactions or b) I could leverage an “Interaction Design System” and apply custom values in the same way I can apply custom colors, typography styles, etc. Has anyone else found an easier way to do this that I’m missing or is there a plugin to manage this? 🙌🏼

I’ve been trying Figma and Figjam to replace Milanote or Miro Board and it’s close but not quite there yet, especially for using video in either Figma or Figjam. Below are some pros I’ve found and some suggested improvements for both Figma and Figjam when it comes to dealing with image and video especifically. Figjam:Feels a bit better for sharing video for feedback because it can be played directly on the board, but then there’s no option to showcase the file name and that is very important for Motion Graphics or 3D animators because we need to be able to reference the file we have locally. Milanote displays the filename automatically and I think it would be great if we could have the option to showcase the file always, or not, or maybe only on hover. The fact that we can type text and DIRECTLY tag other people without needing to create a comment is great, especially for feedback. Playback controls to loop and scrub through the video would be amazing as well. Being able to see a still

Because I use slides modularly, sometimes I have several presentations that start with the same slide.  However, on my thumbnails, I want to be able to see which presentation the file is for by selecting a different slide on the deck as my thumbnail

Please activate the rulers/guide function for Slides!! I’ve been struggling to align context across multiple pages.

Hi Figma staff, This might be a dumb question but why doesn’t a keyboard shortcut exist for ‘Go to main component’ ? Working with components and instances is a core workflow so wouldn’t a keyboard shortcut be as important as ‘Create component’ and ‘Detach instance’? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the new feature but would be awesome to have the freedom to change the orientation of the mind map. My mind really works in more vertical space in that sense and would help me a lot 🙏

Annotations are a great idea, but I think it would be beneficial to allow them to be added without being in dev mode. When something is marked for dev its already a finalised design. Adding annotations before marking as dev mode would save time and allow annotations to be added as we go along.

It was the final semester of university, and the weight of upcoming online exams was starting to feel impossible. We had no idea where to begin—should we focus on particular subjects or just cram with practice tests? The stress was building, and that's when my brother suggested Do My Online Exam, a service he used when he was in our shoes. We were unsure at first, but decided to give it a shot. They helped us sort through our study material, gave us tailored practice exams, and made the whole process feel more manageable. Thanks to their support, we entered the exams feeling confident and ready to take on the challenge.

When exporting Figma designs to PowerPoint, I’ve noticed a few issues that affect the final presentation quality: Fonts become smaller than intended Blurred backgrounds or transparent fills don’t render properly Overall, the visual fidelity of the export is lost In contrast, the Pitchdeck plugin handles these exports beautifully—fonts stay consistent, and effects are preserved. I’d love to see if there’s a way to either improve native exporting or perhaps collaborate/merge with the Pitchdeck plugin to make the export experience seamless.This would be especially useful for teams who use Figma for presentation design and want to maintain design integrity across formats.Would love to hear if others are facing the same issue or have found a workaround!

How cool would it be if Figma allows for deep-linking in prototypes!Right now when I try to deep-link to, for example, Spotify, in my prototype it will prefix the `spotify://xxxxxx` with `https://` so the deep-link is broken and navigates me to a webpage that does not exist.Allowing this would extend the possibilities of prototypes to interact with the outside world! E.g. Microsoft Teams → `msteams://`, Instagram → `instagram://`, slack → `slack://` and many more.I can see how this might be a security concern, but in theory I can put any bad link in there if it starts with `https://`

Hello, there is no Russian language in the settings.

I love how 1st April gave to us. Indeed.I am now harder to keep concentrating  on my work due to using too much technology. So if we can solve this problem then we should make something to keep us working,,,with fun!!Basic - Just a plugin to collect the distance of my mouse movement on Figma. it is about 4px = 1 cm if I am correct. If I keep working hard...I want to know how far I travel to this long journey.Advance.. I need game that I can choose what to build and if the screen is active for 8 hours, the thing I want to build will be done. and I can put it on my hall of fame which other people can see. I need progress animation along 8 hrs. So now the more I use figma...The stuffs I can build haha.Is this look fun???

It’d be great to be able to auto-play and loop a Figma Slides presentation.

I dont know who design this slide editor, but it is way too stupid no function to apply the same background to all page. Even when we search on the help its not there. For this one reason is enough to avoid it. Rubbish

Hi. There are about 30 people on my team using Figma, and about 10 marketers and product managers with editor privileges. Since editors other than designers are not accustomed to working with Figma, they double-click when selecting a page in Figma and change the name of the page without knowing it. This operation causes the page name to revert back to something like “Page1” many times (without even he himself realizing that he has changed it). Another person tries to change it back, but sometimes it is very problematic because it can be reverted to the wrong name. To prevent this, I would like Figma to consider making it an option to double click to change the page name. Since page names are not changed very often, I think it is sufficient to be able to rename them from right-click.

I want to share my figpal with others, but I’m not sure where they are. Can you add the little people icon bubbles to the corner of projects and files so we can see where active users are to let our figpals collaborate together?

From time to time we use Figma to create high-fidelity animations, eliminating the need for additional hand-off tools or specs.This is nice, but viewing animations within Figma is difficult when it’s about quick microinteractions or I want to figure out what’s going on wrong. A sort of debugging possibility. Specifically for Devs.If you remember Principle, it had a very useful feature where if you held ⇧ Shift while viewing a transition/animation, it would slow down that animation by ~10×. Only while holding, not as a state change.Would be great to get this feature as well + the ability to change the slow down speed (additional keys / setting?) Cheers

I would love to be able to update an existing variable directly on the artboard similar to how pushing changes to a main component works. Often times I have a lot of artboards set with a big load of variables for all text in different languages. In these cases I might want to update a specific variable but it’s kind of a hassle to find it in the variables window. Just let me input a new value and push the change to the master variable or at least give me a shortcut to open the variables window with the selected variable in focus.

When looking at a component with nested components within, please can we look at showing the default of these nested components as closed in the component props panel on the right. The components start to look complex and overwhelming when left open as default.

When I have library updates available for my file, sometimes I just want to apply them to a specific page – not to the whole document. The Updates panel lets you select Current page, and as a result you only see which components of the current page have some update available. All good so far. Now if you want to review changes of a component rather than blindly click Update, you select the component in the list and end up in the second-level, Review updates panel. The trouble is: At this point the Current page filter is forgotten and you can only review all the instances of the document. How can I review one by one the instances of the current page only? Motivation: I would like to always review and update stuff on the local components page of my file, because if I update this first, a lot of updates will propagate automatically to the rest of the file, saving me a lot of work.

I often need to update component instances on a specific page without affecting those on other pages. However, Figma currently requires me to go through every instance across the entire file, which is frustrating — especially when working with versions and wanting to preserve old designs. While the "Review Updates" panel could help, it actually makes things worse because instances are not listed in order. For example, instance 1 of 34 might be on Page 3, while Instance 4 is on Page 1, making it incredibly tedious to track and update only the relevant ones. A "Update on Current Page Only" option would be incredibly useful, allowing users to selectively update instances only on the active page, without affecting other pages. This would greatly improve workflow efficiency, especially for large projects with multiple design versions.Please make this a feature.Thanks!
