I’ve just found out that Figma isn’t compatible with iOS VoiceOver controls, which kind of alarms me. I’m designing an app for disabled users and one of my blind participants opted to use their phone to test the prototype. I’m shocked that Figma doesn’t support assistive devices. I’d assume that an app with the purpose of helping designers/developers make innovative interfaces would include such a feature. Has anyone else noticed this?

As we now have string variables, would be amazing to extend it to reflect the status of a certain copy. Here is why: It is always a challenge to integrate UX content designer workflow into agile process, most of the time the content is in review when the implementation has already started. I have recently started breaking down mockups to store approved copy in variables, however I do miss the ability to explicitly mark it as approved, so engineers would be able to see this status in dev mode. There is already ‘Text content’ section there, so small In progress/Approved hints would be really helpful.  

Hi all,I’m working on a design system and trying to create an interactive side navigation menu using component variants + a shared variable (selectedItem). Each nav item has two variants: default and selected.Here’s what I’ve set up: Each menu item has a label property (e.g., "Dashboard", "Settings", etc.) On click, the interaction sets the variable: selectedItem = "Settings" Then I added conditional logic:  • If selectedItem == "Settings" → switch to selected  • Else → switch to default 🎯 Goal: When one nav item is selected, all other items should revert to default – only one selected item at a time.❌ Issue: Only the clicked item changes. The rest don’t respond to the variable update.✅ I even tried u

Currently, Figma’s offline mode only allows access to files and pages I’ve already opened, and syncs all changes back to the cloud once I’m online again.However, there’s no way to download an entire project for full offline work, nor to sync only partial updates or diffs when reconnecting—something that would be extremely valuable for local-first workflows and for users with limited connectivity.Given that incremental synchronization is a proven and efficient approach in other domains, are there any plans on your roadmap to enable: Full project download for local work More robust local caching (beyond just the current session/pages) Syncing only diffs or partial updates, rather than entire files Is this something you’re considering for the future of Figma? If not, what are the technical or product reasons behind the current cloud-first approach? I can imagine that project can be locked only for one edi

Specifically, at organisation level, when there are multiple projects or team projects, there are too many collaborators, comments and discussion in the comment sections on Figma. Is there a way for a user to mute notifications for specific project or a file?

Recently while making a scrollable form inside a modal as obvious i clipped the frame which contained the fields so it doesn’t spill over others. But inside that form container there are dropdown fields which are also getting clipped whereas it shouldn’t.It would be great if some elements or their states could ignore the “clip content” it will be a big time saver for us, please figma 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏It can be really helpful for dropdowns

also related to Set default values for Section padding (left, right, top, bottom) instead of a fixed 80px A request for aesthetic Section, recently works well with the shortcut “cmd+opt+shift+R” Resize to fit. this is really productive. problem — the current 40px default looks “too small when holding things like lots of screens, pages.” yet i know it looks good for components and variants suggestion — allow user to set Default Padding size in Percent. it could be around the Nudge Amount Settings.

Currently when I copy text that has it’s styling set by a variable in our component library then paste that text string into a collection it also creates an additional variables (and it’s associated modes).If we could lean on the standard Shift + CMD/Ctrl + V shortcut to paste without any formatting that would remove the extra step of deleting the erroneous variables or pasting the text elsewhere to remove the formatting and back into the collection.

I would love to be able to do more in Slides via the API. Specifically it would be great to be able read and write text in the slides via the API, so we can convert other content into Slides easily or update our Slides decks easily. 

Hi Design Community! 👋I recently completed a 3-day design sprint focused on improving the apartment search experience on OLX (desktop web). The goal was to solve common user frustrations like multi-city search, long filter forms, lack of comparison tools, and more.I've applied user-centered design principles, competitor benchmarking, and modern UI patterns to enhance usability and visual clarity.I'd love your thoughts! 💬What’s working well? What could be improved?Any suggestions to push this further?📎  link to Figma : Case Study : Case Study - OLX Apartment search categoryThanks in advance for your feedback 🙏 #U

Why are the previews of the project displayed equally to the editable?How many features are blocking the discovery of what I am searching for?Why can I render forza in hd and web-ui drops fps? 

I made a form field where additional text can be shown to the right of the entry. I only need text on the right, so I didn’t wrap it in a frame like the entry field. I had to set the height of the text container to a set value so it lines up with the entry on the left. However, if I switch it to hug the contents of the text, I can’t choose to only hug the width without changing the height. I can’t use line height - it centers instead of positioning on the bottom. Obviously, I could wrap it in a frame, and then the frame can control hug separately. This is just a pain, adding more structure that I wouldn’t otherwise need if it just did what it looks like it does. It also took me a bit to realize what was happening, since I assumed that if I set hug on the width, it would only hug the width.  This was also shared here in a closed thread so I don’t think this is a just me thing. If there are two controls and I change one, it should only change that one. If I want

Apparently you can’t change these things.I could understand if you didn’t want to allow changing the kind of topic since my understanding is that if a question has a marked answer and you wanted to change to conversation you wouldn’t know what to do about this. But at least I think it should be reasonable to allow users to change the title and category. People make mistakes sometimes...

I want to ask 3 things, but I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to create one post for each:The keyboard shortcuts panel feels awkward. Either allow the user to resize it or make it a popup si you have more space to view the shortcuts more comfortably. Actually show all shortcuts. There are many that aren’t available there so you can’t really use it as a reference. For instance, Alt+R adds a mark in the center of the selected element, but when I went to the keyboard shortcuts menu to understand what this mark actually is I couldn’t find anything and I can’t tell if I am doing more than just adding the mark because I couldn’t find the keyboard shortcut there. Allow the user to enter a keyboard shortcut to learn about it. Currently you can find the keyboard shortcut to do something in particular through Ctrl+P, but not the other way around.I’m a web developer and I use VSCode. This code editor allows you to see all keyboard shorcuts and f

Hi, I’m relatively new to Figma and wanted to surface what I consider as frustrating  UX  in Figma main project navigation.Flow: 1) I am in my Team / Project section and I click on a specific file.2) Once I’m done with this file (or maybe I entered the wrong file) and need to go back to my files dashboard/project page.  Problems: ​​​​​​​Currenlty the back option is not immediately visible - I have to select the figma logo (in itself this icon in not indicative if the actions we can take). then hit “Back to files”.Potential solutionsI’d suggest the  “back” action is VERRY common and should not be hidden in 2 clicks/drill down menu but have a direct link The breadcrums that was present in step 2 disappeared. It would be great to have it as an option to go back to project or directly jump to the Team page if needed.  TY

We often leave comments with different purposes or to different roles in the company (stakeholder, copy, dev, UX/UI, etc.) It would make it much easier to identify the comments relevant for you if we had the option of color coding or tagging them (and filtering your comments view to only show those relevant to your work). This would especially make large projects easier.

I don’t think I need to say anything more. It’s weird that this doesn’t exist.

Context:While working on a design system in Figma, I’ve created a set of color tokens using the new Variables feature. These tokens are organized and published via a shared Library for consistent use across projects.Issue:When selecting a color from the Variables panel (especially from Libraries), the color swatches are visible, but no color values or token names are displayed on hover. This makes it difficult to quickly identify or differentiate between similar shades—especially in large systems with many tokens.Why This Matters:Designers often rely on visual cues and quick access to token names or values. Without hover details, we’re forced to memorize or constantly reference documentation. It slows down the workflow and increases the chance of using incorrect tokens.Proposed Solution:Please consider adding a tooltip or hov

Please allow us to define the order of properties for a component...I really hate that nested properties are separated without a way to order it to suit my needs. In the example below I want to be able to move the “Status Indicator” properties below “Show Status Indicator” when enabled.   

When you invite people you need them to accept the invitation first in order for you to assign a role and workspace.This could take DAYS in order for people to be able to get start working because time it takes to communicate to multiple groups of people, different time zone when they request/when I invite them. It is especially bad with my nature of my organization when you have people come and go constantly. When it could be done within 2 minutes.Please add this feature, I wasted so much time and energy when I could be doing something else. 

I haven’t seen it here, but it would be extremely helpful, for Enterprise, to be able to set Workspace, Billing Group, and permissions for Figma/FigJam seats at the time of invitation. Under the current design, I have to invite someone, then I have to wait until they create a profile to then assign seat permissions and workspace/billing group. Then, because I don’t get any notification that the invitee has created the profile, they have to wait until the next time I log in, or contact me again. You can see how much of a time waste (bad design) this is, especially if you’re inviting a group of people who create profiles at different times.

It’s a personal tool that can reflect your workflow and become a source of inspiration. Through these themes, I’m sharing the idea that Figma’s interface can be something everyone experiences in their own unique way.🖼️ The designs are shown in the image below — imagine how you might customize a theme for yourself.Suggestion: This theme system should work like launcher themes in mobile apps — meaning everyone can choose an environment that suits them and pleases their eyes.​​​​​🗨️ ️ I would ve

Is there a shortcut for add variant to a single component? (i.e. starting a multi-variant component from a non-variant component.) I can’t find it. It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for this. ‘Add variant’ is available with right-clicking a non-variant component, but this is the context-menu. If it was in the Mac OS menu I could add a custom Mac OS shortcut but it’s not listed there.

there is no single reason why figma make should be limited to the ability to write code for the web, today this is not enough I'm tired of waiting for updates for half a year that ultimately don't come what's the point of being able to create something through AI in figma design, so that you can later copy and paste it into another file? Is the fact that you can write prompts in a figma file really so non-obvious that you needed to do the same thing in a new file? your updates look like nonsense
