Hi Figma Team,Please update the default Arabic font in FigJam, the current default font sucks.I recommend using one of these Google Fonts instead:TajawalIBM Plex Sans ArabicEven Lovable understood this and chose Tajawal as their default Arabic font.

Our corporate entity requires we use the Microsoft suite, so a Loop widget would be extremely helpful to have for our FigJam collabs with product.

Over the past few years, our design team has been exploring ways to make UI/UX design more human-centered yet scalable — especially when working across multiple industries and time zones.At Lollypop Design, we rely heavily on Figma for real-time collaboration, user research mapping, and prototype testing.Here’s a quick overview of how our process evolved:1. Research to WireframesWe start every project with empathy mapping and data-backed insights.Figma’s FigJam helps us visualize pain points, then translate those into user flows and low-fidelity wireframes.  2. Design Systems for ConsistencyUsing shared design systems in Figma allows our team to maintain visual and interaction consistency across projects.We build reusable components and styles that developers can easily understand — cutting down iteration time by almost 30%.3. Collaborative Testing & IterationOur clients are part of the Figma workspace, so they can leave contextual feedback directly on prototypes.This creates faste

I'm trying to figure out how to create those icon cards in FigJam, it looks like the UX has changed.Previously, I could drag an icon and place it inside a card-style component. But now, when I drag an icon onto the canvas, it just shows the icon with text below it - not the styled card I'm aiming for (see example below).I can still copy and paste older icon cards I created before, but I can't seem to change the icon within them anymore. When I try to replace the icon, it just swaps the whole card out for a plain icon instead.Has anyone figured out how to create or edit these icon cards atm?Icon Card that I want to use/create/modify  Trying to change the icon (used to work like this)What it changes to now... 

When a request is made to view a file by a new user the alert says the user wants to “Edit” this file even if the user just wants to “View”. This is very annoying because edit seats cost money and view doesn’t so it slows down the process of others viewing files. Figma, please update this or explain why it happens. Thank you  

Our organization is growing, and as result we are letting more and more folks into Figma. This is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.I would love to see some updates added to the people page to be able to manage users more effectively.One idea is to just add a “tags” column. This would be sufficient for my needs.Need:I want to be able to know what department/role a user belongs to in my organization so that I can ensure everyone has the right access based on their specific department/role.I imagine that I am not the only one with this issue, not sure how other people that are operating at a larger scale are currently handling this.My current workaround, which is terrible. Is to open up rippling in one view, and Figma in the other and compare individuals across tools to understand what access they need.

During client presentations, we typically showcase the prototype and capture feedback through comments added directly on it. However, while implementing these changes, we observed that the comments move along as the prototype is scrolled. This makes it difficult to accurately track which comment corresponds to which element.It would be highly beneficial if the comments remained anchored to their respective positions on the prototype, rather than scrolling with the frame. This enhancement would ensure better clarity and efficiency during the review and implementation process.

It would be nice to manage notifications and comments for any file/project at a more global level. Currently, in order to change notification settings for a particular project, I need to enter into each one individually. And from my profile settings, I can only apply “all comments” or “mentions/replies” to all files from the start, but having to go open each file in order to change the setting from my default can be tedious.  In the global settings, it would be nice to have a list of projects and/or files and be able to control notification preferences from there--saving time and making quick changes easy. 

Can we have an option stop syncing while in view only mode at least? I don’t need the latest version all the time for visualization and to keep loading every time I focus back on the tab is very annoying.I’m keeping it in offline mode for now by using dev tools to prevent loading but something a bit smarter would be better.Reloading should be an optional action.

When presenting screens, we want to show the work within a phone. Right now we go to prototype mode, take screenshots of the prototypes, then remove the backgrounds in photoshop. Please let us export screens with the phone like it looks in a prototype, so we can add to slides. 

Hey Figma team, like a lot of design teams, we often add features over time.Sometimes, the feature adds are so large or disruptive to the current design that we need to overhaul it (and sometimes the project structure).Starting a new file is disruptive because we have a fair number of people who have relationships with the old file. Without a redirect function, getting all the stakeholders to find and start using the new file is an epic poem of a task.We want to minimize disruption to other stakeholders who may still need the older designs until the new one is agreed on and ready. The logical thing to do is work in a branch, right?The problem with this is that right now, branch merges require a complete review of conflicts - and this is a problem, because:I don’t want to review and merge conflicts one by one. I just want to completely overwrite main with my branch. Making me do this is the most unnecessary form of “are you sure” and takes forever. The merge tool has a stroke and basica

What is your pain with Figma workflow that you would me love to solve I will build a free application, mention you in credits Thanks in Advance

I’d love for there to be a way, when working with overlays/modals, to be able to close the overlay so that when it closes, the screen revealed upon closing is different from the original parent screen. For example, on mobile I have a bottom sheet menu from which I can select an icon that allows me to navigate to a new page. This isn’t the same as swapping overlays or navigating within overlays. It’s that an action from the overlay results in the parent screen (screen under the overlay) changing. I’m able to do this with Smart Animate with just the menu component, but when I want there to be a dark background to overlay the parent screen, that messes the animation up and the behavior isn’t as one would expect. The animation with the overlay feature is perfect, except that I can’t control which screen the overlay closes on to.

Looking for an API endpoint to see when a user is editing a doc vs reading a doc.  Something like ‘last edit’ behavior in events log.  Unable to see this in API, hoping others are needing a feature like this. 

We sometimes link component to another component in another page.On desktop app, it will be very convenient if we can go back to previous page instead of having to look for the figma page we came from manually.

Hey Celine,I noticed the 9/25 update, “Copy Make previews as design layers.” It’s great that we can now bring content generated in Figma Make into Figma Design for further editing. However, after trying it I ran into an issue:Content produced by Figma Make includes interactive behaviors—for example, clicking a dropdown to reveal its menu. After importing into Figma Design, those interactions are no longer present.Please see the attached images: both the date picker and the dropdown are static (not clickable), with no interaction. Similar interactive effects are missing in other places as well.Could you please continue improving this functionality? Thank you very much!Best wishes! 

Apple's Universal Linking implementation is a robust and easy to implement way to open Mac Apps instead of their Web App counterparts.It's absolutely annoying to open a Figma link from any other tool and having to first open Chrome + a new Tab that will have to be manually closed when we already have an alternative that works so well. Please consider adding Universal Links to Figma.Here are the blueprints from Apple:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-universal-links-in-your-app

It would be great to have a quick way to copy the hex codes of the library colours. At the moment it’s three steps (click the colour > filter icon > copy hex code. Be great if it could be one click, especially with having to check colours for accessibility regularly.

please give me a shortcut to copy variable color, I literally have to hit the “Detach Variable” just to get the damn hex code then hit Ctrl-Z  

I find it really frustrating to have to either hold the space button or toggle between the hand tool to move around on my board. Can you please include an option to let us hold the right mouse button to hover and move around on the board?

When I create a template, the template should CLEAR the conversation thread for all users, including me, the owner. When creating a template, it would be nice to have a checkbox where I could say “clear conversation thread for everyone”.

When using Figma slides I have to go back to a Figma doc to edit vector graphic elements, otherwise the graphics get messed up when editing in Figma Slides. 

Videos can autoplay once you’re on a slide instantly but doing multiple elements that sequentially animate seems to require two clicks to get the first element to animate and trigger the rest. It makes it tricky for presenting to know which slides are one click and which are two clicks. Please make it possible for first image element on page to auto appear (without using smart animate) and trigger the rest of the elements. 

My prototypes have a lot of animations which my Macbook Pro has no problem rendering when I present from my computer; however, many of my non-designer colleagues don’t have the same luxury of a good graphics card on their computers, causing my prototype to run very slowly when they ‘re demoing my prototype to other teams.  Rather than maintain two prototypes or worse, manually disable the transitions I set for my prototype and undo all the work I did so that it’s playable by under powered computers, it would be helpful to have a setting in presenter mode to toggle animations on and off. A good example would be like modern video game consoles having performance and fidelity modes. The former optimizes frame rate at the cost of fidelity, where the latter optimizes for resolution with a fixed lower frame rate. In the context of Figma, all animated transitions could be toggled to play as “instant” in “Performance” mode but could be easily turned back on to see the prototype as it was fully

My team needs to review all UI copy. That copy goes into a library so we can be consistent across the product. I’m trying to review and update the copy in Figma Make. However, it’s impossible to extract the reviewed copy so I can add it to the library. A separate file in code view would not only make it easier to review and make sure we haven’t missed anything (even if we then have to update the .tsx file also) but also have that record.
