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

Collapsible Panels

It would be great if the Layer and Properties Panels were adjustable because they get in the way of me seeing the artboard/screens that I am working on. Another thing is that when I close these panels, I can no longer see the comments that include feedback or edits that need to be made on my screens. Because of this, in one view I can see the comments and everything, but can barely get to the screens on the artboard to do anything about it and on the other, I can see the full artboard, but not the comments. Both options are frustrating, especially since I’m just trying to make some edits. Therefore, I suggest making the Layer and Properties Panels adjustable so that they don’t get in the way and allowing the comments to be visible even when the panels are collapsed.

Support vector animations in "smart animate"

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

Figma Slides Clarity

In Figma slides when you click on a group of slides it's not clear which slides are in the group. Attached is my solution. So the darker blue with the blue text and icon is the slide the user is on right now. But the slides in the lighter blue with grey numbers are slides in the group but show the user is not currently selected on those slides.

automatic scroll bar in prototypes with ability to format

Enhancing Scroll Bar Visibility in Figma PrototypesOverview: When designing prototypes in Figma, having a visible scroll bar that appears automatically during vertical or horizontal scrolling can significantly improve user interactions. This basic affordance helps users understand that more content is available beyond the visible area.Steps to Implement: Visible Scroll Bar: Ensure that the scroll bar appears automatically when users scroll vertically or horizontally in your prototype. This visual cue indicates that there is additional content to explore. Formatting Scroll Bar Appearance: In the property section of Figma, you can customize the appearance of the scroll bar. Adjust settings such as color, width, and style to match the overall design of your UI. Benefits:Improved User Experience: Users can easily navigate through content, knowing that there is more to see. Consistency: A formatted scroll bar that aligns with your design ensures a cohesive look and feel across your UI.

UI3: Remove 'Create component' button from components

This is one of the most baffling decisions in UI3. When you have an existing component, you’ve kept the exact same icon as UI2, but changed the button’s functionality. I’m constantly accidentally creating a new component, when I’m trying to go to that component. Please, when you have a component selected, hide this action in the ··· menu. There’s no reason for it to be one of the primary actions. 99.9% of the time when I have a component selected and I go to press this button, I’m actually trying to go to that component. Now that functionality has moved to the folder name, which is very confusing. But at least removing this button from the primary action menu next to the component name would help.

Set Variable/Property to values

It would be great to set Variable/property to a value like height. This would help us change all the values in our components at the same time. Imagine you have a list component, that includes 5 titles with the same height and width that are valued by variable, if you could add variable/property to their height, you no longer need to create their different sizes, you could control their size by property.

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.

Ability to open Figjam and Slides page in the same Figma file

I’m tired of managing multiple files for just one thing. Nedd a a feature like this, where I can open all the file type in one file instead of manging multiple files for the same project.

Filter comments by page, category, person, etc

Figma Slides Analytics

Anyone knows if Figma mentioned something about adding analytics to their slides in presentation mode? Same as pitch.com where you can measure the data from people that open the deck? If not, it might be a nice idea on the roadmap for Figma Slides? What are your thoughts on this?

Viewers should be able to modify text

My team designs complex, data-dense UIs—absolutely packed with text layers. It’s wild.We’re typically subject matter experts in our business area, but our job is to craft narratives that stakeholders can actually follow. To do that, we rely heavily on our PM partners to tell us how to label charts, buttons, lists—you name it—to help sell the concept.So why should viewers be able to edit text directly?Simple: efficiency. Instead of waiting on a PM or stakeholder to respond to a comment with the right copy—then having to copy/paste it into the right layer—just let the person with the right info update it themselves. Asynchronously. This would save us a ton of time during implementation and eliminate the endless back-and-forth over wording.Thanks

“Reset all changes” without changing the modified text in the variants

Hi all! I would like to share with you this question with the community, as I have been researching a bit and found nothing. I saw someone shared before this question, but there was no answer and the feed is closed now. [Change "Reset all changes" to "Reset specific changes + drop down menu"](https://Link to the post). ----> Please, read this one for more info. It would be great to hear if anyone has any trick that allows them to reset all changes, without reverting the text content to the original component one. Any tricks or solutions that might be already in placed? Thank you!

Prototyping with transparent videos

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

See where component is used / find component Instances across files

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least o

Sort variants alphabetically (ascending/descending)

Hi, Is there any option to automatically sort the items/components in the variants menu? Seems like I can drag them and drop but while having lots of elements it’s quite hard to keep things in the correct order. I know there are plugins to sort items in the layers menu (like SortIt) but would be great if there is an option to make the same (A->Z, Z->A) for the variants. It will make life easier.

Toggle visibility of DevMode Annotations on the design side

The new DevMode annotations tool is Awesome!!! Having lots of annotations tends to clutter up the screen on the design side, however, and it would be nice to be able to toggle their visibility on and off like with comments or multiplayer cursors. I had assumed that hiding comments would hide these as well, but such is not the case.

More styling options in Figma Slides, please!

First of all, it is very neat to have this feature in Figma, it made me switch from our company standard (powerpoint sighs) to Figma Slides (or is it Slide Deck?). The possibility to add interactivity, such as polls, is great! And sure, removing the background, changing mode (dark/light), is very neat. But, we are still designers. To put it into user stories: As a designer I want to be able to change the default font and theme colours for a slide deck (after all, we are all bound to use templates we didn’t design) As a designer I want to be able to style the poll components (and to hide components I don’t want to use, such as vote count) As a designer I want to create my own templates As a designer I would like to import powerpoint/keynote template files (which of course I have to tweak in order for it to be correct)

Annotation feature request: More shortcuts!

Problem:I love annotations, but having to select a category and property each time with my mouse is painful. It’s the main reason I have stopped using them - by creating my own annotation, I can just option + drag to create a copy of an annotation that has the category or property I’m looking for, and skip a step. But this is also not ideal. Solution:Let me add annotations without having to take my hands off my keyboard after I click on what I want to annotate!Suggestions:Default categories and annotations based off of what I just did Smart suggestions for annotations or categories Shortcuts for assigning categories or annotations Slightly more complex shortcuts for initiating annotations (such as: 1. Shift+t to go select the annotate cursor 2. Press and hold shift to duplicate last annotation category, then click 3. Press and hold option to duplicate last annotation property, then click 4. Press and hold shift and option to duplicate both ) After Shift + t, Click + hold to see categor

Changing the location of annotations on the sheet

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects. Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?These are different questions.
