It would be nice if I could quickly open pages in my design file in a new tab. Often pages contain designs that would be useful to view side by side with the current page you are working on. It would be nice if I could quickly open them in a new tab / new window instead of having to go back to files, open the file, wait for it to load and then navigate to the page.

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

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.

We just opted in for 2 seats on the professional plan.  We find it disappointing that we can’t monitor our remaining AI credits.We have no idea how many credits we used yesterday, and have no sense at all of how much we can accomplish with the credits we purchased.The AI itself has been very impressive.  To obfuscate the AI credits to this degree is a big disservice to your users. 

When adding an annotation, it’s automatically positioned on the right, which sometimes overlaps with the next screen.It would be great if, during annotation editing, we could also choose the direction of the callout.For example, it would be useful to orient it from the top or bottom instead of always defaulting to the right.

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.

I’d like to insert an image into a cell in a table in FigJam so that it moves with the table as it expands and changes size. Currently, I’m just having to drag pictures around with the table as it expands which is fine for one or two images but I have many!

DEV mode is useful for getting pixel-perfect implementation, but the problem occurs when we try to implement animations, as then developers need to eyeball the animation curves and durations, or record screen and review frame by frame, impacting effectiveness. It would be very useful to analyse or view animation information so implementation work would be smoother.

Hi All, we currently use the swap library feature for our styles. We were wondering tho if there is going to be support for swapping variables in the future as well? I know that Figma is currently working on extended collections, but the current omission of swapping variables based on a different library seems a bit weird

Right now, Figma Make Design or Generate UI are great at producing static frames or visual mockups, but they stop short of creating true, reusable master components with variants, properties, and auto layout built in.What would be game-changing is if we could describe a component in natural language — like:“Create a Tree Selector component with four nesting levels, checkboxes with all states (checked, unchecked, mixed, disabled, default), a search bar, and expandable/collapsible interactions. Include Auto Layout, variants, and locked states.”…and Figma’s AI would generate a fully structured component set, not just the visuals.

I am trying to export an entire figma make prototype to figma designs. It seems crazy to have to do this screen by screen when there is so much embedded functionality (modals, tabs etc). Is there plan to do this in the future? Or am I missing something 😅 Thank you!

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope this get more attention here.

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.

variables可以导入Excel文件，这样可以支持多语言切换，并且具体的String value 里面可以允许你折行

Hi Figma team, I’m using Figma Make, and I managed to create a beautiful delivery app, even though I’m just an ordinary food delivery rider with no coding experience. While building the app, I tested other connected apps, like the rider and admin versions, multiple times. However, I had to switch to another browser to view them through /?app=rider and /?app=admin. It would be very convenient if you could provide a shortcut for accessing these linked apps, like rider and admin. Thank you for creating such a helpful and wonderful platform! 

Hey @figma you know what would be dope? Having the image field as a component property allowing us to just replace the image without having to go into the layers…even better if it would save the fit or fill setting

I would like to share an idea: I thought it would be great if there was a good text editor here where you could effectively make up text, also create an aesthetic design when making up text, and generally create full-fledged documents. In general, it is an analog of MS Word, but with plugins and the ability to decorate the document with a cool design.Question: if it's not a secret, do you have any aspirations in the future to create a platform that would be an analog of MS Word here at Figma? I do not know what it should look like in all the details, however, I have written 3 main ideas: text layout, creating a design for documents, and creating the documents themselves as a whole.

Hey! How can I transfer the AI generated Prototype in Figma Make to Figma Design and continue editing it manually there?

Is there a way to keep a string variable aligned with a color variable HEX code, either through aliasing or by another method? For example: Color Variable |Key | Value| |myColorVar | #FFFFFF| String Variable |Key | Value| |myStringVar | myColorVar variable| myStringVar = “#FFFFFF” Use case: It would be nice for documentation to be able to automatically keep written HEX colour codes aligned with changes to the colour variables they are documenting. Thanks for the help!!

Am I missing something? ive already have a few prototype to be exactly how I wanted and flows. Is there a way to get Figma Make to build the already made in Figma Prototype for me so I can iterirate with Figma Make from here?Otherwise if my design journey starts with Figma Make first, its going to do something I don’t want and will have to spend too much time to debug (I mean its good for ideation or quick concept validation but I want to take approved prototype workflow further and iterate from there)

Love the new Typography Variable release, but it falls short for our use case. Our goal is to use variable modes to switch styles between our 3 brands. 2 of those brands use all caps for headings, the other brand uses sentence case. We need to be able to bind a variable to the case of a character style (As typed, Uppercase, Lowercase, Title case, Small caps). Without this capability, when switching modes from brand 1 to brand 2 for example, we are getting the default case for the character style (sentence case coming from brand 1). We would then have to go through our designs and manually type in all caps for all instances of headings in brands 2 and 3. Certainly not ideal and will lead to inconsistencies / places where manually typing in all caps are missed if we went this route. Until binding a variable to the case of a character style is an option, using typography variables isn’t feasible for our use case.

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.

Is it possible to view a user’s drafts as an Enterprise admin or a Team admin?As an admin I really should be able to view all files that have been created, but it seems that user’s drafts are still private even after the update.
