All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size. I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

Assign User to Multiple Workspaces

Switching to the Enterprise license and would like the ability to assign a user to multiple workspaces. I see there is an option for folks to be invited to teams in different workspaces, but it would be more efficient if we can easily add and see how many workspaces folks are assigned to. In our organization we do a lot of cross collaboration, across the workspaces.

PDF export functionality to embed fonts

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.

Figma default grid of 10px

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?

Add the ability to wrap text around objects

There’s currently no way to wrap text around an object like an icon, spot illustration, or image. The only solution is to manually break the copy into 2 text boxes and add the second one underneath the icon. We had big plans for our design system to include scaled variants of components where text would need to wrap around icons and spot illustrations to save screen space. So not having this feature makes it hard to design for accessibility and see how components will scale. It’s a little tricky to get the line height right, and also means we can’t easily add scaled variants to our existing design system library. It’s also stopping us from creating a plugin where designers could stress test their designs with larger accessible fonts. Would be great if Figma could add this as a feature. Has anyone else had this issue? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Include section name in export of stickies to CSV

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.

Add Variable support for Letter Case

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

Auto-Layout -> Make a Grid

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.

Confirmation for a delicate decision "Remove all interactions"

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 me Alexa

Figma Slide feature request - Slide Animations

It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

Allow break lines in string variables

I’m trying to localize an app using the new variables feature but it looks like I can’t add break lines to the string. For titles, especially in some languages like Japanese where there are no spaces, it is totally necessary. Is this planned for the near future?

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

Section-Based Presentation Mode

Problem Statement As a designer who frequently presents work to clients, I need a way to present specific sections of my design file without duplicating frames across pages or creating complex prototype flows. Currently, there's no streamlined way to selectively show frames from the same page during presentations. Current Limitations Presentation View: Works only for all frames on a page or manually selected frames, but doesn't allow for predefined sections Duplicate Pages: Creates maintenance overhead when designs change, requiring updates in multiple places Prototype Flows: Overly complex for simple presentation needs FigJam Boards: Requires moving content to a different environment Dev Mode: Primarily for development handoff, not optimized for client presentations Proposed Solution A Section-Based Presentation Mode that would allow designers to: Define "presentation sections" within a single page Tag or group frames as belonging to specific presentation sections Choose which section

Save Draft of Comments Functionality

👉🏽 Did you allready experience the frustration of typing out a comment, then needing to check the name of a frame or another detail outside the comment section, only to lose their entire comment? 😭 Ideas 💡 When a user begins typing a comment, the system should automatically save a draft of the comment at regular intervals (e.g., every 10 seconds). If the user navigates away from the comment section or the page, the draft should be preserved and restored when they return to the comment section. Provide a clear indication to the user that their comment is being saved as a draft (e.g., a small “Saving…” indicator). Include an option for the user to manually save a draft of their comment. Ensure that the draft is retained even if the user logs out and logs back in, or if they access the project from a different device. Thhis functionality will significantly improve user experience by preventing the loss of comments when users need to navigate away from the comment section for any reaso

Access the design panel from within Version History

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.

Scale as a property

Scale is one of my most used properties when designing interactions and states. It would be great if we had true ‘scale’ as a property. No, I’m not talking about the scale tool. That’s fake scale that affects the width/height of elements. I want the ability to enter something like ‘1.5’ and change the scale of an element, respectively.

Create Folders/Categories/Tags for files

Organization would be immensely helpful if we could create folders for our drafts. I want to be able to organize my drafts into different categories (such as UI kits, Ideas, Wireframe kits, iOS, Android, etc…) so I can find files easily. Right now, the drafts page is a huge jumbled mess and I can’t create Team pages for everything. Maybe something as simple as being able to add ‘tags’ to each file, similar to Zeplin.

Let branches overwrite main without merge

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 b

Figma prototype UI obscuring fixed website header

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Screenshot and sample file below. I’m using an iMac sized frame with extended height. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this is the now the default view when using multiple flow starting points and is the only way to actually change the flow starting point. So you have a constant trade-off of whether you want to see the Figma controls or your prototype’s. Annoying as hell. EDIT: When sidebar is hidden, the fixed header is visible but inaccessible. As soon as the cursor hovers near it, the Figma UI appears over the (clickable) website header. Wow… Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) https://www.figma.com/file/WlYbWyHwtBGEFZihdMt2az/Bug-Obscured-fixed-header?node-id=0%3A1

Option to disable "Image resized" when large images are brought in

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

Add Margins To Auto Layout

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

Dev mode only paid accounts

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

Fill width and height when ignoring auto layout

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.
