Locking or Pin elements on Slides

When working with slides in Figma, I often accidentally move the background when trying to move other elements, which is really frustrating. Could you add a pin or lock option for elements/backgrounds on slides? Thank you!

Highlight Annotations for selected frame

I think it would be much easier to use annotations if they were highlighted when hovering or selecting an asset / frame / object that had one attached. Right now it’s a bit overwhelming trying to find the right line.

Export Annotations

Thanks for adding annotations to Design Mode. I have been spending the last day annotating some new design ideas. People who have access to the Figma file love that they can read come design rationale and interaction behaviors. For others, who do not have access, or do not use Figma it would be great if I can export the annotations associated with objects inside a frame. Thanks, K.

Layer Label Color

I would love the ability to set a background color in the layer list. I’d like to be able to set this on an individual layer or group of layers. I often have trouble finding important groups of layers. I’ve resorted to using emojis which helps. But imagine that we could color the background color of the label. I’d also like to edit the label name so that in my document “Blue” would represent to my developers that it’s grids.

Dev mode Measure tool without full Design seat

Background: I am a developer, and I use Figma exclusively in Dev Mode via the web interface. I don’t have (nor do I want) any edit access to the designs I’m implementing. That’s for the designers. When the Measure tool appeared (the ruler icon on the upper left toolbar), I latched onto it very quickly. It greatly improved my speed of accurately implementing a design. There are certainly other ways to measure things in Figma, but they are all transient. The best part of the new tool was that I could quickly measure many different things and have all the measurements persist so that I could then just refer to them during development. It was a simple yet well-conceived tool. Then the Measure feature suddenly and completely disappeared on April 10! (Nooooo!!!) Other developers on my team can’t see it either, but the designers and anybody with edit access can still see it. Has there been a change that means that edit access is required to enable Measure? I hope not, because if you asked my

Add a max-width for Grid Columns

It would be great to have the option of setting a max-width of a grid. Elements would stretch but always with a maximum value.

Make Annotations visible to everyone

I was going to praise how neat the new Annotation feature is, when I realized the content is only visible to Dev Mode accounts. Are you serious? I understand you want to limit creating annotations to certain seat types, but viewing annotations should be a viewer-level feature. Come on Figma, there are better ways to convince your users to pay for a subscription. This is such a crooked move.

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

AI: Screenshot To Figma (Framer)

I’ve created this UI for Narrati through claude ai, I am not sure how to import this UI to figma, If there any figma AI which can convert screenshot into figma design, I want to shift this website to framer, thats why looking for a solution. Framer websites & figma is very same, if there any way to make screenshot to figma design, building framer websites become so easy.

Stack multiple effect variables

It would be great to be able to use multiple individual variables for effects. For example, I have a blur and a drop shadow saved as two separate variables. I don’t always use them together, but sometimes I do. I would like to be able to use both together, without having to create a separate variable with the blur and drop shadow.

Private pages and layers

In trying to meet users where they are working we need to place documentation within Figma files. This means we want documentation for various personas. In our case, we need to provide documentation for consumers of our library and assets, and documentation for those creating the assets. Feature to propose: A way to expand security trimming (similar way in which we can share teams/projects/files) so we can place documentation within our file for creators and hide it from consumers.

API call to branch

In our current workflow, new changes to an existing file and/or library start with a branch. The branch allows for a staging environment, but unfortunately we are not able to run API calls to a branch to test before moving to a “production” state (merged to main and published libraries). Can we please make this possible?

Move the Tools panel to the upper left

The “Tool bar” should be in the upper left of the screen. Personally, I’d expect to find a “Tools” menu near the Min menu, or where I’d see the File/Edit/View/Object… menus. In the bottom center, it overlaps design elements, so designing and walking through designs via screenshare is clunky and awkward. The “floating panel” aspect looks neat, but it’s still a visual obstruction in the center of the workspace. In my opinion, it just renders the bottom 50ish pixels of the workspace useless. Also, Mac users will keep accidentally triggering the bottom drawer. Toolbar

Publishing library pipelines automation

Need:I would like to optimise the publishing of the different libraries and ideally manage it from a central place. Use case: I have one asset libraryI have one style libraryI have one component libraryI have multiple files for different features - Figma being still too slow to allow me to manage a whole application in one file. Let’s say all the feature files need elements from the three above-mentioned library. Now I change a color in the style library and as of today what I would have to do would be the following: Go in each dependent library and update all the elements that use the color from the style library Publish the libraries Go in each file to update the components in some cases publish some files so that other files can have the latest update of components This requires to open many files and this could be “easily” optimised if there was a feature that allowed to create a pipeline that we can run everytime we update a library.Or another solution, have a centralised place in

Easy way to restore deleted variable collections

Our design token collection (variables) was accidentally deleted. Would be nice if there could be a restore action or trashcan concept for retrieving deleted collections. Perhaps archiving could be interesting as well.

Official Linux Support

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Video thumbnails

I’d like to be able to choose a thumbnail (either a frame from the video, or upload a thumbnail) for an object that has Video fill. Currently Figma uses the first frame of the video as the thumbnail, and if that video starts all black, then the thumbnail is just black. It will show fine in prototype view or mirror once the video starts playing, but when you are editing it would be helpful to see a frame of the actual video so you can adjust properties of elements (e.g. colors, opacities, gradients) and see what they’ll look like composited with video.

Grid for new FigJam sections

I’m really liking the new sections in FigJam (which I used to have to make manually with shapes) but I’ve noticed that the normal grid dots don’t seem to show up within the sections which makes it tough to align items within them that are farther apart (in my case vertically stacked sections). Would it be possible to get these added back in? Or at least some way to use/create guides (similar to those in most photo/graphics editing software)?

LAUNCHED: Copy/Move variable groups into other collections

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them. I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.

Send invoice as email attachment

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

Shouldn't tooltips be a native Figma feature?

Decades ago when prototyping interfaces I would just use HTML prototypes, which made tooltips super easy to prototype. Decades later with Figma - which is an excellent design and prototyping tool don’t get me wrong - adding tooltips to one’s prototype, is incredibly painstaking. It would be so much easier if Figma just added a field for each layer called “tooltip”, which, when hovered over in prototype mode, would display the tooltip after a number of milliseconds (which could be customized as a bonus feature). This would make Figma prototypes tooltip-friendly in such an easy way. And from a designer-developer handoff perspective, it would be great if Figma prototypes had a toggle to enable text selection in the prototype. That way the developer would just run the prototype, get the tooltip in context, and copy its text.

Opacity as variable

Nice work including Typography and Gradients as variables! But I feel like the ability to use a variable for opacity when defining a color palette is missing. Which means the size of my color palette is double what it should be as you have to define each opacity as a separate variable.
