There’s been a number of occasions where I’ve had some ideas that I just can’t prototype in Figma Here’s a couple websites I’ve found that use the scroll-controlled animation/motion effect I’m trying to achieve. Anyways, please ad this Figma! https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/https://www.caveworld.com/

Currently, Plugins take top z-index over the Edit Properties panels. This makes the Panels unusable when a Plugin is positioned at the right of the design area as the Panels are under the Plugin. Because I prefer and am used to using my Plugins on the right of the design area I have to either close it and reopen for ever use (absolutely ridiculous) or have it out from the side far enough to see the panels when they are opened. IN the case of a large Plugin such as Tokens Studio, this is an enormous amount of screen space even with my ultrawide screen.Simple fix.Thanks!

Another nice addition would be to connect your FigJam files with related Figma files. So as not to rely on file naming. Creating links between the two would allow for easier navigation and discovery from others in the team.

The text in a frame can be independent of other frames, or it can flow between connected frames. To flow text between connected frames, you must first connect the frames. Connected frames can be on the same frame, or on another frame in the document. threading text linking text frames linking text boxes

Is there a feature to auto generate a list of all the sections on a FigJam board and create an overview or “table of contents” section?

I think it would be great to be able to create shortcuts to figma/figjam files within the folder structure. Some files need to be in 2 folders so that different teams can easily find them. 

Hi everyone!!! I'm wondering if there is an appetite to have the ability of locking tabs in a file? Sometimes I'm working on a project where certain parts are not ready yet to be shared, so I'd like to lock the tabs (or maybe frames?) 

I use FigJam a lot for research, however dealing with references is quite inconvenient. I would love for there to be a citation management tool like Zotero, EndNote or Mendeley just as a plugin for FigJam! 

I think it would be amazing if we could export frames/images right from the Figma mobile app. There could be an export feature similar to desktop version and user could simply choose where they want to save the exported file to.

After pasting an animated component into Figma Slides, we realized that right clicking on it does not show the ‘Go to main component’ option.

I want to slice the layers within a frame, but the 'Snap to Pixel Grid' feature is not activated, which makes the slicing process very inconvenient. I would like to know the reason why this feature is no longer available. Please bring back this functionality, as its absence is causing disruptions in my work. When working with Auto Layout and framing the entire page for slicing, I hope the 'Snap to Pixel Grid' feature will be activated. Figma, please take quick action.

When presenting in Figma Slides, I would like the smart animate transition to be played even when going back to previous slide. Currently smart animate is only played when advancing to next slide, but not when going back to previous (then it’s just an instant change). This behaviour would not have to be the default, but having the option would be nice.

The “Start editing” alert dialog seems like a dark pattern. People could accidentally upgrade their seat without realizing it. This wasn’t a necessary addition. Was someone confused about how to upgrade their seats, because if not, this comes across very shady.  

I work on our corporate design language system and continuously run in to the issue of designers using the default Figma 10px grid when our system delivers components built on a 4px grid. Junior designers do not pick up on this and it is an issue. Is it possible to prompt users to setup baseline elements (grid / columns, size) BEFORE they can begin their work? Or is it possible to setup Figma in an Enterprise to have design system foundations set in all figma files for designers? Note: I don’t see a use case for a 10px grid default; 8px and 4px are the standard for many design systems so why is this default set to 10?

I am using a FigJam to debrief after user research. There’s a section for each session, and within it stickies for key themes. When I export the stickies to CSV, is it possible to include the Section name as a column for each sticky? This would make referencing back to the sources much easier.

I’m trying to take the certification course ($97) and I got stuck because the menu in the video is different than the menu in the app. See attachment. Of course there isn’t a phone number to call about this. Outside of demanding a refund, I thought I’d try asking here. The Back to Files option at the top of the menu doesn’t exist in my copy. I have the latest version installed. A pet peeve about doing these online courses is there isn’t a a human to contact, and the AI chat bot is an idiot. 

I love the Auto-layout feature but is a pity that I need to choose between horizontal or vertical. Why not both? My suggestion is an option inside Auto-Layout called Grid that would allow me to choose the amount of columns and rows and create a grid using a smart layout.

Hello everyone,I just removed all interactions from the prototype by mistake when working on a project. 💀I right clicked on the Prototype page because I was having trouble connecting a section. Clicked on “Remove all interactions” thinking it would hide them temporary so I coud have a better view. I almost cried when I realized all the conections were lost. Why did the system didn’t even ask for a confirmation?!When I realized what happenned it was too late, I tried everything but no Ctrl + Z or Version Story could solve it. I tried to re-connect it all but I had a meeting in 1 hour. Of course I wasn’t able to fix the whole project… I believe it should totally have a confirmation modal or something similar to a warning, it’s a delicate decision for the user to delete everything and from what I’ve seen it keeps happening to many designers.Please share your thoughts with meAlexa

Hello,I get multiple emails like this sample below every day.Why can’t you just put the comments in the email ?I don’t want to have to log in each timeMany times I am away from my desk, and I get emails on my phone, but I do not want to log in to Figma when I am out of my office.ThanksRich2 new comments in XXXX 2025 XXXX 2025 2 new comments from Kkkkk Ooooo View in Figma

I am faced with the following issue, I have lost all the links to font styles within my file. In order to use the version history to understand what happened and maybe to come back to a correct version I have the following problem: I cannot go back to the a selected version, and at the same time see the design panel to view if the font style has been assigned This is impossible as the design panel is covered by the version history panel and therefore I cannot perform my check.

It’s been extremely helpful for devs to be able to add their own annotations during handover. Using comments will only add extra clutter to people’s inboxes with unnecessary notifications

Hello!I would love to get support about moving files from an expired account to a new account.I have been using my school account for the edu plan and got a notification it is expired. I still need to use the materials in the previous account, Is there any way I can access and edit the files in the previous account?

When flattening a shape and a stroke -  for instance a circle outline and 4  rectangles creating a target. pressing flatten should fist turn the stroke to an outline then attempt to flatten.current behavior is unpredictable. my suggestion will create something that looks like merging shapes    

It would be amazing to be able to have more control over what each seat has access to do (and edit) within Figma, rather just carte blanche to view and edit everything on Figma or FigJam and nothing in between. This is mainly because me and my team are loving a lot of the Dev Mode features, but I’ve learned that it is being removed from free accounts from 2024: Dev Mode is currently in open beta and is free for everyone to use through the end of 2023. Starting in 2024, access to Dev Mode will require a paid seat. Our development team are on free view only accounts at the moment, mainly because we do not want them to be able to edit and accidentally make changes to the design file which we also use as a live prototype/document which is shared with the client. Tiered paid user access would really help make Figma a more complete tool for the entire project flow. Figma Learn - Help Center

I want to set up a background for a component so that I can toggle different background fills and borders. This would let me set up different states like “enabled”, “disabled”, “selected”, etc.For a rectangle to be in the background I have to set it to ignore auto layout. But as soon as I do that I can’t have it resize to fill its container.I want to set absolute position to 0,0, but “fill” width and height so it covers the entire background and the border matches.Another way to do this would be to show/hide fills and borders based on a property, but having a background would let me create a nested component so I can define all my states in one component, then use it as a background across my library.
