Add Animation Options for Closing Overlays in Figma

While “Open Overlay” offers granular control over animation styles, including starting position and transition, “Close Overlay” is limited to a dissolve effect.

For example, an on-screen keyboard that slides up from the bottom of the screen with precise control over its starting position and animation looks natural. However, when closed, it abruptly disappears.

I want the ability to define a smooth slide-down animation for the keyboard’s dismissal, matching the opening animation for a seamless interaction.

I hope Figma will consider adding animation options to “Close Overlay” to provide designers with the same level of control for both opening and closing overlays.
