Hi, How do we create a team via REST API?  Thanks! 

The plugin api provides the variables in any collection in the correct order, and this order is updated if user reordered variables. But for collections, the api doesn’t provide them in the correct order :→ if a user created Collection1 then created Collection2, then reordered them so that Collection2 is before Collection1, the plugin still gets them by creation order → Collection1 then Collection2. Can this bug be fixed quickly? It would be a great improvements of the api.    

Using string variables as a “CMS” across multiple teams is great to achieve consistency in ux writing/labels etc. If only it was possible to use markup within the variables. Because sometimes i run into a textbox where I want to format part of the string as bold, italic, underline … the usual suspects. With the way string variables are currently set up I can not cover this case with them. Hence, it wold be great if some kind of markup support was added. Marry Christmas ;]

Maybe on confused on how the feature works. If the team is using for ideation and keeping the master branch clean for devs and clients. When it comes time to push elements from a branch to the master file, currently it pushes the entire branch. This is pointless. We don’t want all the ideation, all the options, all the throw away work, just the version that we moved forward with. Currently we need to make a new branch we call “to be merged” and we need to copy just the artboards that are approved into the new branch then merge from there. This feels like to many steps and is complicated on a team of 4 designers. Shouldn’t there be an option to select just the artboards, components, styles, etc that we want to bring forward and leave all the other work in the archived branch incase we need to go back and grab something from it in the future? Pushing everything makes the feature feel useless because you’re either deleting all your ideation or creating “merge” branches to make sure you do

Figma has to be one of the worst pieces of software every created by humans. Seems promising and then the amount of frustration and time you waste using it becomes unimaginable.Mobile app sucks so much and is so slow and sluggish on iOS that I cannot use it for more then 2 minutes before wanting to just delete it off my phone.How can the Figma team be so terrible at their jobs?

If a layer has been locked in a Slides file - either by a user on a Full seat, or by the Collab user copying elements or frames across from a Design file, the user on the Collab seat will be unable to edit, unlock or remove the element.Suggest to either allow Collab seat users to also see the layer panel in a Slides file -- OR add an additional “Unlock all layers” when right-clicking a slide.

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible in figma slides to continue a video throught different slides. Because even though the videos have the same name they don’t continue in the same timeline. They restart in every slide. I know that in figma design this is possible unabling the reset video state, but I wanted the same functionality in the slides. Any ideas? Thank you!

I am frustrated that this application cannot be used offline! I made a request three years ago, and they mentioned plans to create an offline version. I really dislike web-based apps that always require an internet connection and a login.As a Photoshop user for over 10 years, I handle all my UI, icon, and design work with Photoshop. I don’t see the value in Figma, yet I’ve missed out on a lot of work because many of my new colleagues only use it. They often send me ".fig" files that I cannot open without installing Figma, creating an account, and being online. Figma is a real piece of garbage for me (absolutely no offence)!While I recognise that Figma has some useful basic tools for UI design, I can’t understand why they haven’t developed a standalone offline version. It would be so much better to create and save files locally, without needing an online account or login. Perhaps I might consider switching to Figma from Photoshop if that were the case!!!Lunacy has made some progress in

It would be great if Figma also had Sentence case as Letter Case style! This is extremely useful especially for people outside the US. It would be as simple as just capitalizing the first letter of each period.

Why isn't there a 'Sentence case' option in Figma's text transform settings? It would be very useful for improving typography workflows — especially for automatically capitalizing the first letter of each sentence.

Hello there! I am new to coding, figma make, and github. I have a prototype designed in Figma Make. I am wondering if anyone can help me save my work to github? Starting from having a published prototype to commit work to GitHub. Here’s what I’ve done so far. 1. Created a New GitHub repository for my prototype I created in Figma Make2. Published my Figma Make prototype​​​​​​3. Downloaded the code to a folder on my local computerI appreciate any help! This is all very exciting stuff. 

There is no “change property” interaction. This is very basic. I see several conversations around this, but no direct feature request for this basic feature. Currently, you can ONLY change variant properties. But you should be able to change boolean property, text property, or instance swap.Most common use cases:Show/hide a layer on hover such as a tooltip or an interaction widget (currently requires workarounds with nested components or additional variants)  Change text on hover such as embedded help text Change an embedded instance on click for navigating between tabsA bonus interaction would be “change embedded variants”. You can currently only change the variant of the component itself, but it would be super useful to be able to target an embedded component and change its variant.

Absolutely love the ability to move items from one page to another. It would be a massive improvement if the items that are moved didn’t stack on top of one another, sometimes creating a mess of a pile. Certainly don’t expect it to be organized, but not stacking would be a massive improvement.Thank you for all the work!

My biggest issue with Figma Jam is tables. For instance, it's impossible to paste complex data from a Google Sheet into a selected table. You can only paste into a cell or create a new table; you can't paste into an existing one. You could paste as a new table and then copy a column to paste into another table, but that's just a mess I can't deal with.Basically, it’s a half-baked component. Figma team, please take a look at the Miro table component and its capabilities if you want more people to use your tools.

The presentation view needs to support zoom. Currently it’s impossible to view large frames in presentation view as we’re limited to 3 options: 100% display at full size Fit scale down to fit Scale down or up to fill #1 displays the content too big, and #2 and #3 display the content too small.

I am experiencing, that every time I use iOS26 components from Apple’s recent Figma UI-kit to make a prototype, my phone (iPhone16) lags like crazy and all interactions seem sluggish. It is very annoying that liquid glass is killing the prototyping experience. Also drains the battery Happens both with a mirrored frame or a prototype link. And also only between two screens.Anybody else experiencing this? 

In Adobe Photoshop, you can use the transform tool to distort and change the angle of an image. For example, if you need to change the angle of an image within an iPhone device mockup. I wish I was able to do this within Figma the same way I use it in Photoshop. 

I use the assets panel frequently to use our design system. The new layout with the sidebar obscures when our team’s library has updated, and it feels much slower to find and access assets. Instead staying in the same work area it feels cumbersome to move horizontally to the side nav, then back up to the search bar in the assets panel. I really dislike the new navigation, though I can understand wanting a clearer separation between these two domains. It just makes it slow for me as a user. 

Right now there is no simple way to have a conversation with an LLM about a set of designs (Page/File/selected amount of artboards) in Figma. Copying/pasting screenshots is not feasible because a screenshot big enough to capture the contents of a page in figma would be way too large to paste into an LLM. Use cases: As a designer, I’m being onboarded onto a complex project and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. I can chat with an LLM about the PRD, but not about a Figma file. It would be great if an LLM could natively scan page page or entire file and allow me to ask questions about the file without me scanning every single artboard manually to start.  I want to get feedback on a user flow/design/set of designs. This would be a big unlock because I think that AI is good at exploring the solution space for a problem when properly described/articulated but it’s a very manual time-consuming process because there is no visual element to it.  This could serve as a starting point

Especially with the recent Variables update. It’s more important than ever to have the ability to migrate all the old Styles with new Variables. However, the current behavior is that it only matches whatever “name” is the same. This makes the whole swapping library a very underpowered feature. Ideally, it should simply allow us to pick Variables or Styles to swap with the old library. This has been requested back in 2021.

It should be possible to swap library components manually. In this screenshot, I’m swapping a icon library for another, but the icons are not named the same, so I can’t finish the job. Why can’t I simply select the component I want to replace it with? Even worse, there’s no way to select the components from the old library to swap them them manually one by one. Component instances from my old library are scattered in pages and there’s no efficient way to select instances from a certain library (apart from the swap library modal). I’ve looked at so many plugins and none of them can get it done. It’s such a pain and could be resolved easily. btw - the same applies to “Missing Library.” Because I can’t swap them to an arbitrary library, I’m left with ghost components that I can’t even locate.

As a React/Drupal developer who works closely with a UX designer, we constantly debate what to call a CTA or how to phrase a short instruction. So I built a plugin that helps with exactly that. Microcopy Fixer suggests clearer alternatives for short UI text without rewriting your whole design.You can check it out here: https://www.microcopyfixer.com/figma-pluginFeedback is welcome.

I use Grammarly app across a lot of platforms, but it does not work on Figma unfortunately. It would be amazing to be able to run Grammarly on Figma.

The gif below should be self-explanatory about the issue

Currently, the section title is outside the section box only on the highest level. When a section is nested, the title jumps inside the section box and overlaps content unless you expand the section box. The option to choose if the section title is inside or outside the section box would be really useful.
