This is a suggestion for a “quality of life improvement” new feature. Current behaviour:The variable selection within a collection and its extended collections are not synced.When one selects a variable in an collection / extended collection, the variable selection can be different for a collection and its extended collection.Steps to recreate current behaviour: Select collection P Select variable A within that collection Select extended collection (P extended) Select another variable B within the extended collection Switch back to collection P The selected variable in collection P is still AExpected behaviour:The expected behaviour is that the selected variable should be synced between a collection and its extended collections.Typical flow of a designer is to extend a collection and then modify specific variables within the extended collection. They switch back and forth between the collections to validate the previous variable value and the modified variable value. Steps to recreate

Hi Figma team,I’d like to report an issue, or ask whether there’s a recommended solution, related to how the Figma desktop app updates itself on Windows.What happensEvery time Figma updates, a new folder named after the version is created under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Figma\ (for example app-126.8.18, app-126.9.11, and app-126.9.13, as shown in the screenshot below). The Figma.exe that actually runs appears to be the one inside the newest version folder (second screenshot), so the path to the running executable seems to change with every update. However, I’m not entirely sure about this, because there is also a Figma.exe in the root folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Figma\Figma.exe, screenshot below). Why this is a problemThird-party apps that identify Figma by its executable path stop working after an update. Initially, the third-party app targets  a Figma.exe in the root folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Figma\Figma.exe, screenshot above).

This would be handy if I want to mass-select and find hidden layers to show altogether. Unless this is a technical limitation, I am shocked that this is not integrated as an option from the get-go.

Hello Awesome community, It would be very helpful for Design System builder community support if we could create styles based on other styles, aka style variants to support use cases like these 3: Type Style A needs to be used with an underline to emphasize that the text is a hyperlink. There is no way to amend the style A without unlinking it at the moment. So either I create an extra style or I have elements in my design system that are not ruled by Type Styles; in both cases this creates extra work and potential for errors when updating the typography for specific projects based on the Design system file. Color Style B is used as a Primary accent color @100% opacity but also as a SurfaceTints and State Brushes with varying opacity values. This requires a design system file to include individual color styles for each case (aka Brushes based off of Primary) as parent containers currently set opacity for all content unless said opacity is par of a Color Style. This is extremely tim

Hi! Has the canvas panning keyboard shortcuts changed recently? I use Ctrl+Space+scroll wheel to pan and zoom the canvas but now that keyboard shortcut puts me into a Keyboard picking mode. Is this new? It really gets in the way of working.

Im creating a prototype and would like to link to live pages on our site without having the User in the test have to see the “Leaving Figma Warning” page. My concern is that it takes it breaks the illusion of an actual experience. Is there a way remove this middle page from the experience?

Currently, dashed strokes have ‘trimmed caps’. Is there a way to have all dashes with the same length? Example:

Currently, I have to manually scroll through the Recent tools list every time to find a tool I use frequently. This becomes time-consuming and inefficient. 

Hey I have a style guide and its currently in phase 2, my team has decided to simplify the text styles so I need to merge a lot of text styles together. Is there an efficient method of doing this? Thanks!

I'm excited for Bulk Create in Figma Buzz. It’s a lot more intuitive for our marketers to use, but at its current stage it’s actually more time consuming than our existing workflow, mainly because it doesn’t have the ability to bulk rename frames or the exported filenames. That means we still end up having to manually rename "Frame1.png" all the way to "Frame175.png".Here’s our use case: we need to create OpenGraph images for a website with over a hundred pages. We have two design templates: one with page title only, one with page title and a subhead.Currently, the marketing & web dev team maintain a spreadsheet of all the pages currently exist.We have the 2 designs set up as components and use a plugin called Scribe - Dynamic data in seconds to pull in the CSV and use a column we choose for naming the frames / files.I can see Bulk Create doing this as well, and even adding some common renaming & conditional naming options (i.e. case options, removing + replacing + appending ch

Hi, I've been working on a prototype, and animating the chat bubbles turned out to be quite a tedious task. To create the animation, I had to duplicate multiple frames and apply individual delay animations to each chat bubble.I'm wondering, is there a way to apply a delay animation to a group of elements collectively and adjust the timing for each, similar to how you'd stagger animations when loading a collection of cards?With Figma's current capabilities, the only workaround seems to be creating multiple frames and manually adjusting the opacity and timing for each element to simulate delayed appearance which becomes repetitive and time-consuming when applied across multiple components.Would love to know if there’s a more efficient approach or if this is something the team is planning to improve in the future.

Introducing an Invisible Mode for Figma to enhance user privacy. This feature allows users to work without showing their online status, preventing others from following their activity. Perfect for focused, distraction-free design sessions.

Hi Figma team,I work in Figma with Claude through the Figma MCP server. While the agent works in my file, it shows up in the avatar list as “Third-party agent”. The avatar used to be a robot icon, and now it shows the Claude logo.The Claude logo is clearer than the robot icon. Still, I’d like some control over this, because I often share files with teammates and stakeholders who see these avatars too.It would help a lot if we could:choose the avatar or icon an agent uses in a file, or at least pick from a few neutral options rename the agent (for example “Design assistant” instead of “Third-party agent”) set this per team or per file, so everyone sees the same thingRight now I couldn’t find any setting for this in the app or in the MCP documentation.Thanks!

Is there a way to turn off the AI chrome when sharing the prototype in "Make"? When sharing in the prototype view, I was expecting it to just share the screens but when I shared the link, it showed the make file with the AI chrome. Is this a big? Or will this be an enhancement?

As I was looking for a way to do this natively in Figma, I came across this concept article on Medium. In the article, Андрей Насонов (Andrey Nasonov) describes adding the option to choose alignment in the image settings beyond the default centered. This would be a simple but huge improvement to image settings, especially for responsive design. Here’s his example of how that might look on the Properties Panel for images: If anyone has found any way to work around this other than individually cropping images for different container widths, pls hmu! 🙏

If I have a team with some members not spending their Make credits, I want to commandeer those as an admin. Or even better, I’d like an admin setting to put the sum of all the credits for our full seats into one shared bucket.

Setting durations, easing curves, delays, especially for Smart Animate animations are essential tools when making presentations in Figma in order to make fluid ‘Keynote-like’ transitions. Unfortunately these are completely absent in Figma Slides at the moment, making it pretty much useless to our team. We will keep making our presentations in Figma Design and linking everything by hand🥲 until these crucial settings are implemented in Figma Slides…

ProblemWhen creating a Slot property in Figma, designers can define preferred instances through the Select instances popup. However, when working with complex design systems and multiple nested components, finding the right components through a list can take extra time.Designers may already have the desired components arranged on the canvas, making the list-based selection feel less direct than it needs to be.Proposed SolutionIntroduce a “Select from canvas” option within the Slot property's Preferred instances settings.When activated, designers could click eligible components directly on the canvas to add them to the preferred instances list.The workflow could be: Select the main component and open its Slot property settings. Click Select from canvas in the Preferred instances section. Click the desired components on the canvas to select them. Confirm the selection and return to the Slot property settings. Expected Benefits Faster workflow: Reduce the time spent searching and sc

I've been really enjoying the new Motion features in Figma. The experience feels intuitive, and creating animations has become much faster and more enjoyable. Even in its current state, Motion shows a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how it evolves.While testing, I came across a few areas that could significantly improve the workflow: Nested Layers in the Timeline When working with nested layers, child layers currently appear individually in the timeline alongside their parent layer. This can make the timeline cluttered and difficult to manage. It would be helpful if the timeline supported nesting similar to the Layers panel, with expandable and collapsible groups. Dedicated Clipping Mask Workflow Motion currently lacks dedicated clipping mask support. A masking workflow similar to After Effects would make it much easier to create and animate reveals, transitions, and other advanced motion effects without relying on workarounds. Dedicated Alignment Controls Motion currently

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

I strongly request the ability to turn off the Figma agent appearing by default when a new Design draft or file is created, and also to disable the Agent tab completely. In addition, the ability to hide AI options like “Make an image” for image design tools would be nice, as well as the ability to filter tools/plugins by their use of AI in the Tools tab and Community.This could be as simple as adding new toggleable options under Figma > Preferences… labeled something like “Show Agent in new files”, “Hide image generation tools”, and labels for Community assets that use AI and options to hide such assets in their respective categories.I know that these options don’t exist right now, which is why I am imploring them to be implemented as soon as reasonably possible. I understand these things can be helpful for a good amount of people and that’s completely their choice. But you need to understand that a similar amount of people, myself included, have no interest in using the agent or an

The seats section lacks of a registry to know all seat changes history. The only information it shows is the seats taken right now. It’d be great to know since when some seats have full access o collab, is almost useful as it is now if you have to set up a budget or making a billing from it.

I would love to be able to see all my brand’s patterns in the preview of the style panel. Right now they all sport the same generic dotted pattern.I am able to add a “background” colour behind the pattern, but many of my patterns use the same colours in different combinations, so it isn’t a reliable way to distinguish between patterns.  

Connected Projects are a great way to have a shared space between two separate Figma accounts (usually between two organizations). A drawback is that all the files are in a single project.Without some kind of hierarchy (or filtered view) the Connected Project can quickly fill up with all kinds of working files, templates, older “archive” projects that are now needed only for reference, etc.Figma could either extend the “connected” concept to the team level (so there can be more “folders” in the connected space), or provide some other kind of other hierarchical or filtered view.

Can we allow Connected folder to have a sub-folder? Perhaps not 10 levels of nested folder. We can limit it to 1 or 2 levels should be good enough.Thanks!
