Is there a way to keep a string variable aligned with a color variable HEX code, either through aliasing or by another method? For example: Color Variable |Key | Value| |myColorVar | #FFFFFF| String Variable |Key | Value| |myStringVar | myColorVar variable| myStringVar = “#FFFFFF” Use case: It would be nice for documentation to be able to automatically keep written HEX colour codes aligned with changes to the colour variables they are documenting. Thanks for the help!!

Am I missing something? ive already have a few prototype to be exactly how I wanted and flows. Is there a way to get Figma Make to build the already made in Figma Prototype for me so I can iterirate with Figma Make from here?Otherwise if my design journey starts with Figma Make first, its going to do something I don’t want and will have to spend too much time to debug (I mean its good for ideation or quick concept validation but I want to take approved prototype workflow further and iterate from there)

Toolbar should be able to change its position at the very least. Hotkey users don’t ever need it. Eyes naturally look more to the bottom of the page, and now this useful space is taken by some garbage icons 🙃 The overall redesign is also questionable. I would also support all the complaints about font size, unnecessary gaps between control panels and the edge of a page. May be it looks more “comfortable” for new users, but keep in mind that you have a lot of professionals who use Figma for a long time already, and they want a reliable tool that doesn’t mutate under their hands so they can keep working fast.

It would be very useful to have the ability to offset a stroke. For instance, in the case of the focus state for buttons and other components. Currently, there is a workaround, but it is not very convenient as it requires us to manage shadow and transparent stroke. This is especially inconvenient for a large library of components and complicates developer handoff.

There is a problem about the gaps as i resize elements. I would expect that Gaps respected the space inbetween repeated elements when resizing an element inside the group.how the tool actually works:|→ |→ (i try to represent the vertical bar as the start point and the arrow as the gap. There is an element that be repeated from the vertical bar. The point is when i resize the element past the 2nd vertical bar and the elements get overlapped)What i expected◻→◻→ (i expect the gaps to distance between the elements itself, not the vertical bar)

I have searched and can’t find an answer. I am a bit surprised this isn’t already a feature. I would like to hide the selected object’s BLUE OUTLINE with a key command or in the View menu. Please and thank you.

Hello, currently using the Export widget is very cumbersome. You have to click on a project layer, expand the Export widget, select a file size (1x, 2x, …), select a file format, expand the preview and save. This has to be repeated with EVERY attempt to save! When will you change this so that the widget expansion, selected format, file size and preview display is remembered!

We just wrapped the big announcements at Config, and we know there’s a lot to take in.This thread is your space to share reactions, ask questions, and let us know what you're excited about (or still curious about) with regard to Figma Sites. Our team will be actively reading and sharing relevant takeaways with the product team. What we’d love to hear from you:What aspects are you most excited about — and why? Where do you still have questions or want more clarity? Anything that didn’t quite land for you yet?  A few quick reminders:If you need help with a specific account or file issue, please get in touch with a specialist on the Support Team. A note on Community Guidelines: Posts that veer off-topic or become unproductive may be moderated to keep the focus on the product at hand. Keep feedback focused on Figma Sites — this helps everyone follow along.

I want to be able to set a Layout Guide Style: Color property to a variable so that I can switch the color using Variable Modes.

I hope Figma notice this but i been wanting to suggest Figma to create another product that will call Figma Print. Mostly gonna focus or will add features for Print like Crop Marks, Bleed, CMYK. etc

Currently, adding interactive navigation (such as clickable contents pages) in Figma prototypes disables the default keyboard controls (arrow keys for slide navigation).This forces users to manually add keyboard triggers frame-by-frame to restore key navigation, which is time-consuming and cumbersome, especially for large presentations.It would greatly improve the user experience if Figma allowed both interactive navigation and default keyboard controls to function simultaneously by default. This would let creators build richer, more flexible presentations without sacrificing the convenience of keyboard navigation.Thank you for considering this enhancement!

I have just realised that the links in my slides document (anchor to certain slides/pages) are still present in the exported PDF but: Unfortunately they no longer link to the specific pages but to my Figma Slides file in editor mode. This means that viewers can read my notes even without an Figma-Accout. It would be very helpful if this bug (if it is one) is fixed or at least to get more options when exporting as a PDF file such as the option ‘interactive’ or ‘non-interactive’.

We have Figma integrated with with SSO and SCIM for provisioning access to all employees, while also granting Dev Mode access to a few of them, but we usually end up getting tons of random Dev Mode access requests from in-product options, which are misleading, since we can’t automatically grant people access without opening a support ticket first to ensure the SCIM permissions are correct. How to turn that in-product option that offers people to request Dev Mode access off, so we can stop inducing people to request it outside of our IT support loop?

I work on several themes to support the many brands within my company. One of the ways that brands can differentiate themselves and showcase brand personality is by using custom arrows for navigational buttons (Back/Next) and within Carousel & Pagination elements. As I’m building a theme and filling in the hex values per brand for the semantic tokens, I want to be able to assign a custom arrow for these controls at the same time using variables. While everything else that I need to build a theme can be handled with variables, without icon support, I’m not able to build one file that includes all themes. Instead I have to build one UI kit per theme. Additionally, some of my teams use different design systems based on the product they work on, whether it’s web, app, or enterprise. With icon support in variables, I could preload their preferred icon styles (flat, outline, filled, etc.) to their components without them having to make the selections manually every time.

Is it possible to embed a youtube video into Figma Slides?

It’s really hard to know where you are when you multiple tabs open, it’s fatiguing the eyes.

Anyone else have way too many tabs open in figma and accidentally close one when navigating between them? As far as I can tell there’s no way to get tabs back when closed by mistake. If you view the file first it’s easy to get it back with “sort by last viewed” but not if it was closed without opening first. 

We love you guys and I mean BIG TIME! Thank you for making life easy with figma. What about the recent updates, mwahhhhh… they are so sweet.However, we have large clients based who always want their presentations in Powerpoint & Google Slides but Figma slides can’t do that too. It will be very great to have that feature to export designs and presentations to powerpoint & google slides.Can we have it like sooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn 🥹🥹🥹🥹Thank you!

When updating a component with many instances across a file, the editing experience often slows down and becomes frustrating, as Figma attempts to propagate every change instantly. This slowdown mainly happens because the browser’s memory quickly reaches its limit.Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a “Pause updates” or “Isolation” mode that allows users to edit a component without synchronizing changes to all instances in real time? Once editing is complete, exiting this mode would then apply all updates across every instance.This approach would preserve a smooth editing experience while still ensuring all instances stay consistent afterward.I’m not sure about the technical implications of implementing such a feature, but I believe the idea could be valuable to many users. 🙂

Our team works in Pixso and we want to migrate to Figma. But we have so many projects it would be very complicated to make it manually.Please Please Please! 🙏🏼

When I was doing slides with Figma Design, I would have a page for each presentation within a specific workstream, something like the following hierarchy in my organization. Project name: ClientName — File name: Packaging Design —— Page: R1 Exploration - 24.01.01 —— Page: R2 Directions - 24.02.01 —— Page: R3 Refinement - 24.03.01 With the new Slides, this 3-level hierarchy seems to have been broken down into 2 levels, with the lack of an ability to have different versions of a deck within one Slides file. I miss that. In its current state, I foresee the Project folder in the organization being inundated with too many random Slides files that become difficult to organize.

My name is Anselmo,I would like to suggest a crucial improvement for accessibility and user experience: the implementation of a specific zoom or scale adjustment option for the sidebars (Layers and Properties).The Problem:The fixed font size and element size in the sidebars, especially for users who work for long periods, cause visual fatigue and make it difficult to read information. The current solution of using the interface zoom (via Shift + Cmd + +) resizes the entire application, which can compromise the canvas view and is not the ideal approach for focusing only on the panels.The Proposed Improvement:Add a configuration option to adjust the font size and icons in the sidebars, allowing users to customize the interface to their visual needs. Implement a separate zoom control for the side panels, similar to the one that exists for the canvas, offering more flexibility and control.Why this Improvement is Important:Accessibility: It would make Figma more accessible to users with vis

Our small company uses Figma Make to create wireframes and leverage the AI tool for writing acceptance criteria and generating designs. We’re on an enterprise-level subscription, which provides excellent functionality for designers. However, the current collaboration model presents challenges for non-designers on our team.While the design and AI capabilities in Figma Make are impressive, the permissions structure limits collaboration. Everywhere I click I need to request access and elevate my subscription! Specifically, collaborators cannot share or distribute their Figma Make designs — even though collaboration across roles is essential to our workflow. This restriction feels counterintuitive to Figma’s collaborative ethos.For small companies like ours, paying for multiple full-design licenses isn’t cost-effective since most team members are not designers, but they still play key roles in defining and validating product direction. The current setup unintentionally creates silos by mak

I sometimes update components in large files, and hitting the ‘update’ button in the “Manage Libraries” updates panel often just sits there- I wonder if it’s working or not- and then suddenly the row I updated vanishes (after the update applies / memory catches up to the screen rendering). I’d love it if there was a spinner / non-interactive state during these loads; or just better state indication / handling in general- often I don’t know if something’s happening or if Figma has frozen, only to suddenly have the UI jump around after I’ve been trying to click on things to wake it up.

Im creating a prototype and would like to link to live pages on our site without having the User in the test have to see the “Leaving Figma Warning” page. My concern is that it takes it breaks the illusion of an actual experience. Is there a way remove this middle page from the experience?
