I heavily use FigJam daily and it's a core part of my workflow.Lately though, there's been a noticeable shift in how drawing works with the Apple Pencil, both in the FigJam and Figma apps on iPad. It feels like there’s now an invisible hand smoothing out my lines in real time. It seems to be introduced in order to compensate for shaky input, but the current implementation is just too much. So much so that writing or sketching quickly and naturally has become nearly impossible.It is interfering with our own natural assistance system, our own eyes. And now it feels like I’m fighting a ghost version of my own hand.If there’s a setting to tone it down or switch it off, that would be a lifesaver. Or just completely roll it back.Regards

1. Variable/Library Connection in Prototyping Overlay BackgroundsWhile Figma Libraries and Variables are brilliant tools, I noticed a gap:Buried Access: Picking colors from the library for overlay backgrounds is buried under multiple clicks and is not intuitive.Static Colors: Even after picking a library color, it behaves statically (just a hex/opacity). This means if the library color changes, the prototype overlay doesn’t reflect that update.Suggestion:Provide an upfront, dynamic option to pick colors from the library directly in the prototype panel. If the library is updated, the overlay should also automatically update.
2. No Memory of Overlay Background ColorsFor multiple overlays in a prototype, I have to set the background color manually for each one. While Figma remembers certain settings like Smart Animate (e.g., it retains the last-used easin

I work in the design system team, and we’re constantly updating and publishing the Figma component library. This is great for users who already have design files: They can choose whether or not to accept our updates. BUT for designers starting work on a NEW file, they can only use the current version of the Figma library components. That may sound ideal, but it’s not. Here’s why: Often product engineering teams are some way behind the changes that we publish in the Design System team. They simply may not be able to implement those changes quickly, or possibly, at all. Their designers may want to work with previous versions of the Figma library in order to design TO THE PRODUCT. If they are forced to use the current library, this can cause confusion in the product teams, because devs and QA won’t be able to work to or check against those designs. Could the lovely Figma guys somehow allow designers to choose which version of a library they pull assets from?

This seems like a very large design oversight in Figma Slides. The help article says that “Published changes only apply to new slide decks that are made with the template.” Doesn’t this defeat the entire purpose of having a custom template where you can edit a style and have it apply to your entire presentation, instead of needing to manually tweak a header style on every slide? I expected this to work the same way instances update in Figma Design when you make a change to the main component, but even after publishing changes to a custom template in Figma Slides, my existing slide deck that pulls from that template isn’t updating colors & text styles. The published template changes would only apply to brand new slide decks, which means I’d have to define the template first and

The figma buzz hasn’t fix one of figma ‘s big problem, which is heavy file size I use buzz to export some of the social post, but they take up to 2-4mb just because I need the social post to have good enough resolution

What I can’t stand the most is that the panels of the new UI can’t be attached to the edges. They leave some gaps, wasting the space to display the main design and operation area. And visually, these gaps are also distracting my attention. The toolbar at the bottom also interferes with the main operation space, especially if its color is the same as my design draft. By the way, is it just for the convenience of novices to move it from the top to the bottom? If someone who uses Figma more frequently, he will use shortcuts instead of mouse clicks to trigger these functions. So I hope that adjustments can be made in time in the official version of UI3, otherwise these redesign will seem like a subjective conjecture of someone who doesn’t use Figma much.

Hello,In the UI3 when you switch to light mode the topbar becomes transparent-grey, other than looking like a UI from 90s, it does not pass the contrast test! Contrast test results:​​​​​​​It used to be black like this (even in the UI3), and everyone was happy with it, please bring this back: 

 Mostly I like to use figma on browser (with fullscreen) just because it has more space, because there is no tabbar on browser. So, my suggestion is, there should be an option to hide topbar (or tabbar) on figma app, so users on smaller screen like macbook air will have more canvas view. Most people keep open a single tab, Why to waste entire screen width with tabbar?.Something like “Dock” on mac os. You can hide it, but when mouse hovers on that area it will be shown.  

I lead a team of designers and when i log into our project I want to sort by most recently edited; i want to see all the stuff thats been/being worked on since the last time i looked. This must be a common use case. What am I missing?

I have a site where I’m using Grid mode for 4 columns.On Tablet I want that to grid to change to 2 columns, and 1 column for mobile.Right now it seems you can only increase the number of columns on other breakpoints, not decrease it. That’s a major feature that makes grids useful.Any TBD on when it might get solved?

Totally lost. I pasted an image. Here is my list of try and error after then:The image was far too large and I wanted to resize it by using a handle on the top left corner (the only corner I could see). It moved around instead. I looked in the menu to the right of the screen to find some formatting options. Therein was a symbol showing the figure next to a “100%” without any explanation. So I expected this to be the size of the image and typed 25, to then see it become transparent and almost invisible. Ctrl-Z. Then next, I did Ctrl-F to search for “size” and found nothing. But now, the buttons on the right are missing.I am afraid I have to tell you that Figma desperately needs some kind of introductury tutorial...

Currently, if you copy + paste a figjam flow into a Design file, the Connector Lines stay fully functional – they stretch and adapt as you move their origins and destinations around the canvas, and you can move their origins and destinations to your frames, components, etc. I’ve been using this to show user flows within my UI designs, not only for ease of sharing with other teammates (no need to give in-depth walkthroughs), but also for easily identifying missing states within a flow. It would be great if a) the Connector Line was added as a tool to Figma Design, or b) basic lines and pen vectors had the option to act as connector lines – attaching to anchor points on objects and components, scaling when the endpoints were moved, and able to be adjusted with mid-line handles.

Please check the video.https://share.cleanshot.com/F4WbvN1jEvery time I use “rewrite” I have to press “open actions” shortcut 3 times to make it actually open again. Looks like a bug in UX but probably just the code.On a broader term, why push ai features and make them this interruptive?

It would be really handy to be able to set your own defoult settings for adding new section. I always use specific background color and corner radius and I need to change that each time I am creating new section it is really abundant work...

Hi Figma team,I’d like to suggest a feature that would be really helpful in collaborative workflows: the ability to copy and paste comments between different files.Currently, comments are a great way to communicate within a file, but when we need to reuse or migrate comments such as when duplicating parts of a project into another file we have to recreate them manually. It would be very useful to be able to copy a comment from one file and paste it into another, preserving its content, author, and ideally its relative position.This small improvement could save a lot of time and make collaboration even smoother.Thanks for the great work on the platform!

Is there a way to export some frames as one pdf? When I click export > PDF, it exports all frames as individual PDFs which is not what I want.  I have lots of frames in this file. Say 1000s. I need to export 17 as a PDF. 

Just like how GitHub has the “Forking” feature where, we make our own personal copy of a public file so to edit it freely, without effecting the original. This way alot of other people can contribute to the file and help in improving it, adding new features or fixing problemsIt would be great to have such “Remix” ability to the community files so a bunch of people together can contribute in keeping files up-to-date. For examples, community files for Shadcn UI are outdated, they have not been updated for 2 years due to sheer amount of work. With remix, anybody can help in updating these files without the need of a primary dependency.Thanks.

The function GRID doesn’t work as function WRAP.It is absurd that if do I delete an element into the autolayout, in grid it remains a empty space.In Wrap Mode it didn’t happen, elements naturally stacked due to the rules of padding set in autolayout.With GRID mode there is NO CONSISTENCY in padding. NOW, the GRID rules. So if do I set a vertical padding 10px, BUT the grid does not “afford” that padding, IT’S THE GRID THAT WIN, padding change, but I don’t have any information about this changement (just zooming in and checking manually).Moreover, with Wrap Mode, if did I resize the frame of the autolayout - with all the elements inside in Fill container - especially after the introduction of the precious Ratio function) - the elements would had resized. Now, not!Elements go off the grid.Changing a grid already existing is IMPOSSIBLE through the new GUI.It is impossible to ALIGN things in the grid.Joseph Muller Brockmann wo

Please update the feature for printing purpose. Because If I want to print magazines , brouchers at all and   and multiple pages option also. I go for adobe only. Please include this feature to coming up more users into figma .I hope you update this feature as soon as possible. 

新版UI界面功能太难用了，能不能弄回旧版本，网格布局那些全部没了，用起来好别扭

Hi Figma team,I’d love to suggest a feature that could bring mobile prototyping to a whole new level: support for haptic feedback in prototypes tested on mobile devices (especially via the Figma mobile app).Today, Figma already allows us to prototype with beautiful transitions and rich interactions. But being able to trigger haptic feedback (via the Taptic Engine on iOS, or vibration on Android) during key interactions (tap, success, error, screen transition, etc.) would let us:Simulate real product experiences more accurately Design more emotionally engaging and trustworthy interactions Test and iterate on sensory feedback during user testing Elevate the quality of motion & micro-interaction design directly within FigmaIt would be amazing to have:Native support for defining haptic patterns (e.g. soft tap, success pulse, warning alert) per interaction Compatibility with existing mobile preview

Current behaviour (in Org): 1- after sharing a link to anything in a file (page, frame, section, etc) the url uses those names 2- if the name of any of those names included in the url changes, then the url, which has been included in documentation and dev tickets, breaks. Expected behaviour: use unique identifiers instead, so the url already shared do not break due to file renaming due, file clean up, etc Anecdote: 1- an entire set of sprint tickets (50+) had to be painfully relinked due to file name, frame and section renaming that happened after the PM grabbed the urls. 2- after a feature has grown (or low memory warning), and there’s a need to split the file into multiple files in another project folder, the frames are cut and pasted into another file. Once again, simple file management breaks urls already shared and an entire project needs to be relinked.

I often find myself trying to use the font weight shortcuts to change the weight of a line. Would be a helpful shortcut when you have a line selected. Possibly also when you have an object selected, it could edit the stroke width on that object. cmd - alt - < cmd - alt - >

This is a feature comment specifically for Slides, but I believe it applies to Figma and FigJam too. When I send a Slides presentation to a client, there is no way to hide my presenter notes or all the comments from me and my team. So before sending I have to be sure to delete all my presenter notes and comments which are only meant to be seen internally.I would love to not have to do this so I can keep internal comments and presenter notes for reference. Would be great if when sharing externally I can choose to hide comments and speaker notes so they can’t see them.
