Hello Figma Team,I am currently creating tables using a table plugin in Figma.Inside a frame component, I place text components and adjust their size to fill the cells. However, whenever I tab into the cell, the text component gets deleted automatically.Even if I intentionally type and then delete characters, leaving the text field empty, the text component is automatically removed. Because of this behavior, I cannot build a proper table template.At the moment, my only workaround is to insert a space character to prevent deletion, but this causes frequent mistakes such as accidentally starting text with an extra space. This is not an ideal solution.It seems this is not a plugin issue but rather Figma’s default behavior of auto-deleting empty text components.Suggestion:If a text component is placed inside a frame (e.g., a table cell), it should not be automatically deleted when empty. This would allow users to create tab

I had thought It would replace content based on a prompt. My use-case: I had a list of items and wanted to have them replace with the latest content. Ideally, I could paste in my unformatted list and it would put that into my list component I had selected. Instead it did more of a copy edit on the existing content. What is the purpose of this option, versus “Rewrite this...”

Hi Figma team,I’ve encountered an issue when trying to apply a linear gradient to a single word inside a text layer.When I highlight just one word and apply a gradient (via the fill panel), the gradient technically applies, but no gradient handles appear on the canvas. This makes it impossible to adjust the direction, angle, or position of the gradient for that specific word.Steps to reproduce: Create a text layer with multiple words. Highlight just one word. Apply a linear gradient via the Fill settings. Try to adjust the gradient. Expected behavior:Gradient handles (start and end points) should appear, just like they do when applying a gradient to an entire shape or full text layer. I should be able to control the direction of the gradient within the selected word.

Question, if the cell contains the public URL to the image instead of a pasted image into the cell, does that not work?

I think Figma should have a feature that lets you update an entire list of typography used in a design system.It’s so tiring editing this one by one  

I’m always copy/pasting autolayout frames and when I do this far from the right-most autolayout frame, it jumps me all across the canvas and I have to drag my frame back to where I was working. On twitter you guys mentioned paste here only works with the mouse so we know where ‘here’ is to paste. If there was a shortcut at least to just paste it in the middle of the canvas that would be nice.

Like in the design tool, I will be interesting to have components in Figma Slides. That way, designers can create templates for the company and non designer have only one place to change the footer on all slides. If we can have the option to add pagination to the footer or anywhere it will be a big plus.

Often when prototyping tools/UIs with canvases, a few fundamental interactions are needed. Scroll up/down Scroll left/right Zoom in/out Unfortunately, that last zoom in/out one isn’t possible in Figma as far as I can tell. It would be really great to incorporate this type of interaction in the same place that frame scrolling can be specified. Prototyping use cases: UIs with Maps (tracking apps, location apps, travel apps, delivery apps, etc) UIs with creative canvases (illustrator, photoshop, Figma, sketch, etc) UIs for analysis tools (spatial biology analysis, general sample analysis, etc) UIs for brainstorming tools (Figjam, Miro, google whiteboard, etc) This feels like it would be relatively basic to add but what do I know about programing lol. Anyways, would be really awesome and add a new dimension of interactivity to canvas based tools.

Hey everyone! We've been using Figma’s Slack integration to keep our team in sync, and I’d like to suggest an improvement: having notifications sent to a public Slack channel when a frame or design is marked as Ready for dev — not just as personal alerts.Right now, the Slack integration only notifies us about comments and mentions. But when it comes to dev handoff, it’d be super useful to have those status updates posted in team channels to keep everyone (Product and Dev team) aligned in real time, adding visibility and transparency.

Hey everyone,I’m exploring ways to streamline customer service for my small business and have been researching different options. I’ve read that customer support automation tools can really help reduce response times, improve efficiency, and free up my team to focus on more complex issues. However, with so many platforms out there, it’s a bit overwhelming to know which ones are reliable and worth the investment.What customer support automation tools have you used, and what features do you find most valuable? Any recommendations or pitfalls I should be aware of before committing?

how can i expand this ??????????? too narrow!  or please expand this.  I feel frustrated every time I use that part. I think it should be at least twice as wide.​​​​​​​+I wish there was a font favorites feature.  

Currently you are able to add up to nine screenshots for your published community file. I would like to upload a video to this area. Apparently you can do this for plugins, so I would like the feature for community files as well.  

Hey Community,   Using ComponentNode.key and ComponentNode.remote (boolean), I can detect remote components and import them via figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(). However, there’s no API to get the original source file name or library name of a remote component.Would it be possible to expose the component’s source filename or published library name in the Plugin API? This would help plugins display component origin info like the Figma UI does.

In other words a way to branch to/from a Community file Hi everyone, I publish a design system (DS) to the Community and have frequent updates to fix issues and add/update components. Community members duplicate this DS to their Organizational account to use in their own projects. They have reported to me that once they import the Figma file into their org and use it as a library they have no way of getting my latest updates easily and without breaking changes into their production design files that refer to the original “duplicated” file. So it would be great if there was a way to publish “get latest” or “subscribe to changes” in a community file. (Instead of having to restart design file from scratch in the latest version of the Design System). Librairies features are not an option as they are specific to an ORG and cannot be accessed through the community. And Swapping in this use case does not work well at all. This would b

Description:Currently, when prompt requests are ready in Figma, users only see a visual indication. It would be very useful if Figma could also notify with a sound alert. This small improvement would help users notice requests faster, especially when they are multitasking or not constantly looking at the Figma window.👉 Suggested feature: Add an optional sound notification setting in preferences. Allow users to toggle it on/off depending on their workflow.

Quality of life suggestion:Could we get a check box list in the Annotation flyout to select then apply?Applying Annotations is a ton of clicking if I want to apply all the Attributes for say Fonts or anything like that. I usually skip the width and height but apply everything else, which you have to click Property, then click the actual property then repeat 8 Times. 

Hi there!I embeded Figma prototypes into a SharePoint Teams website. I successfully hid the Figma UI, but I’m noticing some white padding around the prototype. Is there a way to adjust or remove this padding by tweaking the iframe code, or is there another method I could try?The extra white space is affecting the website layout, especially on smaller screens. I appreciate your help with this!Thank you! A

I am part of the Design Language Team at Philips, where I work on creating and maintaining a precise iconography system based on strict grids and style rules in Figma.We would love to see Figma incorporate AI-assisted icon generation that works directly with these grids and guidelines.How it could work: Designers set up a grid + style parameters (stroke thickness, corner radius, proportions, etc.) inside Figma. Using a text prompt or simple shape input, AI generates multiple icon variations that fit exactly within those rules. Designers refine, adjust, and approve the output—keeping the creative process fast but still precise. Why this matters: Ensures AI-generated icons are consistent with brand and system standards. Speeds up icon exploration and reduces repetitive manual work. A

It would be great if we could create a few custom components within a Figma Slides document. For example: being able to create a custom footer to use on all of your slides, that would contain maybe a company logo, a confidentiality notice, and page numbers. I’m able to create this component in a Figma Design library of course, and publish it and then access it in Figma Slides, but that has a few limitations: The component created in Figma Design is not able to use the font and color styles from the Figma Slides document; since it’s made in Figma Design, it either has no styles applied, or it uses those from another library. Then you’ve got multiple color and font styles mixing in the Figma Slides document, when I’d like to just use one set so it doesn’t get confusing. (Especially if we have non-designers editing the deck – the less styles/libraries available, the better.) I can’t easily make bulk changes to that component that will affect all the slides

Found this thread via Google. I doubt anyone can fix my specific problem, but Make is extremely frustrating. It doesnt respond correctly to prompts and changes things for no reason so I’m stuck in a loop of fixing things only for something else to break. 

I’ve tried Figma Make and have struggled to get any meaningful results from it in the areas of my current process where it has the biggest opportunity. Other AI prototyping/LLM tools already bridge the gap for rapid, rough prototyping, exploring ideas, trying multiple approaches quickly, etc. All things that happen early on in the design process. What they can’t do, however, is closely match my designs (whether it uses my system components or not) visually (and quickly without forcing me to prompt it dozens of times about surface level issues). I assumed this is what Figma Make would capitalize on, but it falls very short. Figma Make is the most well positioned to take something I’ve already designed in high fidelity and make a robust, interactive prototype of it. It doesn’t even need to be working code that I can hand to a developer, that’s a different problem. But a prototype that clearly shows detailed (oftentimes complex) functionality that I can use

I just noticed this while right clicking a Figma file in the Projects grid list and having my Figma set to Light Mode: the context menu itself is still dark mode (and I normally am on dark mode, I just need to go to Light Mode for screenshots for a tutorial I'm putting together.)The context menu when right clicking over a Figma file in the Projects list view shows the menu still set in dark mode even if Figma itself is set to Light modeI tried to see if it was just for the things in the Figma Home tab, and noticed that the context menus when right clicking the tabs do change to Light mode when Figma is in Light mode:Right clicking the tabs in the Figma Desktop app shows that th

Connected projects are likely to be sharing the same set of libraries out to external teams. Allow for specifying a default set of libraries to be shared for Connected projects. Somewhere in Admin > Resources > Libraries or in Admin > Content > Connected projects (or both?)

When creating overlays, there are cases when I want it to be positioned relative to the element that triggered it. For example, a tooltip that explains a button or image. Currently the only way to do that is to manually position the overlay. What would be nice/more efficient is to have an option to choose how I want the position to be calculated-- relative to the entire page, or relative to the element itself–with the same set of position options (centered, top left, top right, etc) that we currently have for alignment. That way overlay positions can be set quickly without the need for manual fiddling.
