Ever wondered how a few clicks can get you from one place to another with ease? That’s the beauty of thoughtful design. A great cab service app is not just about getting a ride. It’s about creating a smooth journey for users from start to finish — and that starts with design.When I first began designing a concept for a cab service interface in Figma, I realized how essential structure and flow are. Every button, color, and icon needs to communicate trust and simplicity. With Figma’s collaborative features, I could quickly mock up wireframes and invite feedback from other designers, which made the creative process feel more human and dynamic.Transitioning from low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes was an exciting part of the process. It’s in this stage that the design begins to feel alive. Adding small animations for ride confirmation screens or micro-interactions when a driver accepts a booking can completely change how people feel using the app.The best part of designing

Auto layout behaviours are just different, hugging barely ever works, I can’t use fill reliably. You can overlap blocks but you can’t really merge them… which becomes problematic because then things like hug or fill breaks easily. Rearranging is an absolute PITA. Why can’t I just move a row up or down? I can’t even select a row. I understand that there was a reason for changing the expected behaviour but this feature is just not practical, it far too cumbersome to use. I really wish Figma would pay attention to refining and improving things instead of shipping new and shiny things all the time. I haven’t seem any improvements to grid so I’m assuming it’ll be staying like this for the foreseeable future.

Hi Figma team,It would be great if we could see which team members are currently active in the workspace level — for example, a small list or sidebar showing online collaborators with their profile avatars as you already have inside the files with Spotlight.By clicking on a teammate’s avatar, we could jump directly to the file they’re currently working on. This would make collaboration smoother, help teams quickly locate each other, and reduce time spent searching through shared projects.This will help us to collaborate better specially during design reviews.Thanks for considering this improvement!— Margarida

About the behavior when drag-and-dropping multiple images from a file browser onto a FigJam board. I often use FigJam for raw data analysis in my work. Specifically, I line up a wide variety of visualizations, add markers, and inspect them visually to analyze the data; FigJam’s features are a perfect match for this workflow, and there’s virtually no alternative solution. When I paste a lot of images onto a FigJam board at once, they’re arranged in a default kinda “automatically tiled” layout. It can even consider size of each image and arrange them into the most ”compact” form automatically, how smart it is.current default behavior For my use case, it would be very helpful to have modes that place them “in a single horizontal row” or “in a single vertical column,” which would greatly reduce the time I spend manually rearranging them afterward. Because I often paste quite a few images at once, working only in the current “tile mode” means that I need to repeatedly scrolling up and down

The Problem: Collaborating with stakeholders often requires many content updates & iterations (text, image, etc). I think most content writers/stakeholders could easily make these updates but would require editor access, giving them unneeded (& often unwanted) edit permissions. Suggested Solution: Provide a Content Editor role in Figma that allows a user to: Update text layers Update image fills Anything else? Additional features could include: Editor can lock/unlock editability of content per layer Ability to suggest/accept changes (similar to google docs?) Assign content to users for editing? Any other ideas on how this role could work?

It would be great if you could see a colour variables hex code when assigning a variable to an elements fill / stroke.

I’m playing around in figma sites and I’ve got some specific text styles and crops on a component, but when I view it in the ‘preview mode’ all the styles get resset to default (ie font not showing up, clip content not working, etc). Anyone else having the same issue?

I’m really big on shortcuts and makes my workflow much quicker. Please add a shortcut for copying an SVG to clipboard. No plugins or anyhting, just a shortcut. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m on Windows, but even something like “ ctrl + alt + shift + G (tilde)” would suffice.

Hello,Possibly a feature request or lack of understanding on my behalf.I would love/like to be able to share the review modal to add the link to a jira ticket.This would allow the devs I work with to see what has changed etc…I really like how this modal clearly shows updates. But when this modal is not open, it can be a mine filled for a dev or stakeholder to understand what has and has not changed.Any advice or suggestions welcomed on this topic. 

Was told by a Figma rep that there are only 200+ requests for Figma to export as webP - and they didn’t sound positive that it would be integrated. So, I want to rally the community to push for this feature. There are already paid plugins out there that do this, so there must be a need. Show your support and let’s push the incredible team at Figma to incorporate it!

Here is a small UX issue that I’ve discovered while working through branches with my team.I think the following changes would make a huge difference to “quality of life” and “ease of use”:Change the Page Title (at least the listed title within social share embeds) to prepend the file name in front of the branch name (ie: “Figma File / Branch One”) Index branch names within the Figma “Search for Files” text search (cmd+t) feature so that branches can be located using the Figma file search feature. 

By default, the HEX colors show as all uppercase like #FFFFFF but it would be nice if in the settings we could choose to show them as lowercase like #ffffff. An ability to choose this would be great!

Hug & fill shortcuts are really nice, but i dont want to have to keep reaching over to the right hand side panel every time i want to quickly change my autolayout from vertical to horizontal. I think a lot of people feel this too! If it already exists please let me know i will give you chocolate cake frs

Hi all, I’ll try to keep it short and simple — I couldn’t find anything that directly addressed this issue, but in my opinion the way masks work in Figma is not optimal. Full disclosure, I come from a very comfortable with Adobe Illustrator angle (which essentially established the standard way to apply masks as far as I’m aware, and with good reason). The problem with needing the mask object under the object that is being masked, is that the mask object will invariably be smaller than the target object, and therefore this makes it extremely fussy to both select the correct items for masking and editing the mask layer itself. Once a mask is applied, to edit the vector points of the mask, the only way I can see is to find the mask layer in the layers panel and hit enter or the “edit object” button in the toolbar. This is a serious workflow killer when considering you could just double click into the mask object had it been on the layer above. That’s it! Please consider changing the mask

When using the CMD K, I would love to be able to type a figma file name and quickly open it 

Hi Folks,I’d like to propose a feature that would improve navigation within large design files.Often, while working on a complex Figma file, I need to quickly return to a previous view or jump forward again without manually scrolling through the canvas. It would be helpful to have a dedicated option similar to a browser’s back/forward button, that allows seamless switching between recently viewed areas of the file.This would save time and enhance workflow efficiency, especially when handling files with extensive UI screens.What are your thoughts?

I'd like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve collaboration in Figma.Currently, when I return to a Figma file after some time, it can be challenging to quickly identify what changes the team has made since my last session. Scrolling through the entire file to find recent updates is time-consuming.It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature that visually highlights all new modifications made by team members since I was last active in the file. This would allow us to catch up on progress instantly and streamline our collaborative workflow.What are your thoughts on this?

Problem As a designer exporting assets for web development it’s frustrating having to either export with no control over the file size and reduce later in photoshop, or pay for an image compressing plugin that is helpful, but exports as zip files so the file management gets messy quick. Solution Have more expansive export settings e.g. slider for image quality and file size calculated in real time with slider - similar to photoshop. Might just be me but I sorely need this functionality, especially during the rapid part of a project which is the design to developer hand over. Does anyone else have this problem? 🙂

The lack of flexibility drives me insane;1.  I cant change the size of a nested component (you have to make sure its the same size for every option but thats not actually how things work)  (min maxes make this extremely painful)2. If I make a list component its a pain to change the content in the lists in a component (no matter how many plugins you use, and also you cant use the AI feature for this and it would be cool if you did) - basically what ends up happening here is you create a ton of booleans (making a component a mess; especially if its a nested instance) instead of giving the user more flexibility)3. The lack of collapsing nested instances shown in the sidebar; sometimes you need them and sometimes you don’t so you just have a HUGE list of nested instances (especially in a table)The design system current functionality provides the user absolutely 0 flexibility who is creating user flows its asking to be detached; which leads to old outdated components and infuriating user ex

Hi All, I am experiencing a lot of bugs and issues in the Styles panel, to the point that it is impossible to use.   Selecting multiple styles is off. It keeps 2 or 3 selections than if you select more it selects random styles or selects everything in between the ones you originally selected. If you want to move a style at the end of the list to another folder, you can’t scroll up while holding that style, so it is impossible to move. Creating subfolder is a nightmare as it always gets added at the end of the tree, and moving it out does not work ( see point bove ) Duplicating a folder just duplicates the content of that folder inside that folder The experience is overall very glitchy and is basically impossible to use at the momentHavent used styles too much since variables were introduced, so I’m not sure if this is a temporary issue or is a known bug.  

As a company, we don’t just use Figma for wireframes but also for presentations and FigJam Boards. It would be really helpful if we could mark files as “archived” that could then be displayed in grey, maybe also with a date, for when in our company history the file used to be relevant or current. It’s hard to keep track of “is this file still currently relevant or not?” Obviously we don’t want to delete old file since we still might want to go back to e.g. Team Workshops that we did 1 year ago, but also it would be nice to have them “out of the way” when searching for files that are currently relevant.

Dear Figma Team, I am working on a prototype for a complex financial product.As I add new features, bells and whistles etc. the prototype rapidly expands beyond MVP scope, into v1/v2/v3 + product iterations.So far, 80 individual version changes.As far as I can see, there is no neat way to create a branch off of a ‘master’ prototype that would allow me to break down an end to end prototype into MVP and future iterations of the product/ feature set.This would be very handy to showcase to stakeholders (business, product, tech) how the product would evolve and validate with users what are the most essential needs (MVP) versus nice-to-haves.If I duplicate the whole file and strip out what I have build back down to an MVP by rolling back to the earlier versions, those files are not part of a single prototype evolution. And if I roll back to e.g. version 10 out of 80 within the prototype, then I would change the file itself and have to keep going back and forth (and to precisely the right ver

Hi Figma Team,As multiple designers are collaborating in the same project and working within the same Figma file, we want to minimize errors and maintain consistency.Is there a way in Figma to easily identify who has worked on a specific part of the file (such as widgets, components, layers, or folders)?This would really help us track changes and maintain accountability across the design system.Thank you,Prashant

I always wonder why there are no diagonal rulers? it will be useful to have diagonal rulers
