Slides: Link to specific slide

When sharing, I would love to be able to specify a specific slide to link to. This will allow more fine tune sharing. If the url was appended with something like “slide-1” it would allow for us to create dynamic and easily editable links in our Airtable as well. We are using slides as a creative review workflow and this would help us tremendously!

Components in text

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

Suggestion: set strokes and corner radius to be scalable

it will work nice to icons without need to outline strokes and keep original icons editable.

Disable 'observe' mode

As per this discussion - How to disable 'observe' mode - #5 by Dave2 - I think it would be useful to be able to turn off ‘observe mode’. It is very annoying being watched while I work, unless I specifically am trying to share/demonstrate something. It is the digital version of someone looking over your shoulder. I dont want to have to remove people’s permissions from the file just to stop them digitally stalking me.

Fonts: Support of Color Fonts?

Dear Figma Support Team, I am writing to inquire about the current support for color fonts in Figma. As a designer, I greatly appreciate the versatility and creative possibilities that color fonts bring to my work. I have recently been experimenting with various color font formats, such as OpenType-SVG and COLR/CPAL, which allow for intricate multi-colored typography. However, I have encountered some challenges when attempting to utilize these fonts within Figma’s design environment. It appears that Figma currently lacks full support for color fonts, as I have experienced difficulties with the proper rendering and editing of these fonts within the platform. It would be immensely beneficial if Figma could extend its capabilities to fully embrace color fonts, enabling designers like myself to fully explore the potential they offer. Color fonts have become increasingly popular, allowing for more expressive and engaging designs across various mediums. With their ability to incorporate vibr

A shortcut to open the "Local variables" window

Hello everyone! I think having a shortcut to open/close the local variables would be very helpful. For example in cases where I’m prototyping and need to access the local variables to ensure the accuracy of the variable names or values that I’m assigning in the interactions. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to switch between the prototype panel to the design panel in order to open the local variables, check them and then go back to prototype. Note: I am aware that it is possible to keep the local variables window open, but this often leads to numerous bugs in the prototype. For example, when it is open, I am unable to drag the prototype interactions to reorder them.

Links between pages in PDF export

I need to create internal linking PDF exports; a multipage document with a table of contents that provides links to the relevant pages. If I use the link tool, the links generated in the exported PDF go to the web URL of the linked frames, and does not navigate to the page within the PDF. Using prototype linking does not generate any interactivity in the PDF at all. It would be useful for either the prototyping tool or link tool to generate interactive internally-linked PDF exports.

Stroke style to record all properties, not just colors

I want the stroke style to inherit all properties, not just colors you know we have ：color、size、strokes per side、 inside and outside、 and so on。 I want to write it all down when I create t he styles 🤣

Parent Components moved to Design File and need to be reassigned to the Design File's Parent Component

Can Figma come up with a way to re-Parent Components moved to Design File so that all the components in the said file can be pointed to the Design File?

Create interactions to text links

There is possibility to do only URL links to selected text. Could be useful create interactions also into selected text only Instead whole text frame. Do you know any way to do this?

Any Variable Updates for Moving Variables from collections but not breaking the link?

Use Case: I have color primitives and semantics in one collection called colors. Id like to move semantics out of that collection and into a new collection called color semantics. BUT what happens currently is you can copy and paste it, but it breaks the link with the (?) for every variable that was previously connected… So copying and pasting does not work. Id like the option to move or rearrange variables in and out of collections with keeping that same variable linked in my other variables downstream.

Corner Styles

Currently, corners can only be rounded at whatever size you set. However, it would be great if you could set different styles of corners such as inverted rounded or chamfer as you can in Illustrator. The goal would be to create a style like the image below: Does anyone use a plugin to achieve this effect?

Autoplay, Simultaneous Playback, and Loop for Videos (and GIFs) in FigJam

Hi Figma Team,I’d love to see an enhancement to FigJam that allows videos (and GIFs) to autoplay, play simultaneously, and loop continuously. This would be an amazing addition for creating video moodboards where multiple videos can be displayed and automatically played in sync. It would allow users to create dynamic and immersive visual experiences directly within FigJam, perfect for design inspiration and collaboration.Thank you for considering this feature!

Commenting Needs to Be More Robust

Commenting Shortcomings: Lack of Context & History Comments are tied to specific parts of the design but don’t provide a broader historical view of the feedback or decisions. If you resolve a comment, it’s gone from the visible interface, which makes it hard to track why decisions were made. Comments are always in a closed state. There needs to be an option to toggle between show latest comment/show collapsed/show none. Limited Status Tracking: Comments only have “Done” as a status, so you can’t track progress on individual items (e.g., “In Progress,” “Needs Discussion”). Need the ability to write custom statuses with custom colors You can’t categorize or add metadata to comments (e.g., “low-priority” vs. “critical” feedback), which would help prioritize responses. Hard to Find Unread/Unresolved Comments: Comments get lost in larger files with many pages and frames.​​​​​​​ You can’t easily filter comments by person, frame, or status. If someone tags multiple people or

Use percentages for heights, widths, paddings, gutters in auto layout

This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is. This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Interactive text inputs in prototype mode

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

Invert boolean variable for layer display

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

Use "em" or percentages instead of pixels

As far as I can tell everyone loves and hates autolayout. When it works, it’s magic. But it’s almost always glitchy in the wild. I think the biggest breakthrough would be to just be able to declare an “em” or percentage for the size of everything in the layout.

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.

Variables and text alignment properties?

Linking modes to breakpoints and being able to adjust on the fly is a real game changer. The thing that I’m missing tho, after typography support was recently added, is the ability to also use variables on the alignment settings of typography. Is this something that is being considered?

Allow for “Open Overlay” interactions within Shared Libraries

We have a navigation bar component in our shared library. We want the basic dropdowns and user profile info to overlay when clicking these menu items. Currently all overlays break when bringing in a component, and we have to make a local version of the library component. It would be great if the overlay from the library can work wherever it exists, rather than having to duplicate the overlays in every location.
