🎬 Live Embeds... within Figma!

You know how sometimes you feel like having a copy of a screen in another file (or page), and would like to have it be updated automatically, but it feels overkill to create a main component out of that screen? If you just copy and paste it (for example for creating a prototype in a separate Page without messing your original screens), it’s pretty much instantly out of date. You also know how you can embed Figma files, frames or prototypes in any website, even integrating in other services like Jira and Dropbox with the Live Embed Kit. It works AMAZING, it shows even up-to-date designs, and you’re simply copy-pasting a link, without the overengineering of extra components. What if this would work within Figma itself?? Check this out: Would this be useful for anyone else? We for example would like to have an example of “usage” of each component in the Components Library, which is usually a screen taken from a variety of other files. But they invariably get out of date super soo

Remove prototype margins in contain mode

I want my prototype to fill the screen at any resolution, so I’ve set the “fill screen” option and hidden Figma ui. The problem is that there is always a margin around the frame no matter the window size. When I inspect the code in Chrome it looks like the responsible for those unwanted margins are these two lines: Is there a way to prevent Figma adding those margins?

Canvas Stacking Ui Update

Hi Figma Is it possible to revise the UI of the Canvas Stacking option? It seems not very intuitive for it to be hidden behind the Auto Layout UI. Instead, it should be integrated into the Auto Layout option panel, given it plays such a significant role in controlling Auto Layout.

Avoid accidentally closing the mac desktop app

Please could we have a “warn before quitting” feature on the Figma desktop app? Since Cmd+Q closes apps on macOS I’ve found myself accidentally closing Figma one too many times recently. Chrome has this feature working and it would be nice to have it on Figma as well, thanks!Techbout – 3 Jul 17

Feature Request - Google Lense

As a user on an organization plan in Figma, my teammates and I are always having issues finding / sorting through hundreds if not thousands of internal Figma files to find what we’re looking for. We were discussing how helpful it would be if Figma had a feature, similar to Google Lense technology, where you could upload an image of the frame / component you’re looking for, and Figma could provide you with the files that match that are using that frame / component.

Hand Tool is too time consuming

The hand tool is not efficient; please allow a “1” click button to be able to scroll vertically to the next frame. It was so easy and did not waste any time. It was a fabulous feature in Jamboard!!!

REALLY need a Back Button in Figma

I’ve noticed a few requests for this, but it really surprises me that more people are not upvoting it. I cannot express enough how annoying it is for me to click on Figma links from a Jira task and then get shifted out of the current design I’m working on, only to not be able to find my way back to it. As a UX manager, I am working on 100 different design files each day, conducting design reviews, answering questions, and triaging Jira design stories. Therefore, trying to remember each file/page location is total insanity. PLEASE add a back button. Thank you.

Double interaction on hover

Allow to change the appearance of a frame on hover, as well as open overlay, so basically allow to add more than one interaction on the same interaction trigger

REM and "font-size" for Inspect

Our developers spend a lot of time in Figma Inspect, having to convert everything from pixels to REM. Implementing a way to specify the document’s “font-size,” or the equivalent of 1 REM and being able to turn on REM measurements in inspect would save so much time and make our design to development handoff easier. edit: Yes, we could use Zeplin but we are an enterprise team with many projects - why pay for yet another subscription if Figma could implement this one thing?

Idea: Filter branches based on state

In my day-to-day I have to approve a lot of branches. While doing that I always find myself scrolling through a list of branches (we have like 50?) and look for branches that have “In Review”. What you think of a way to filter the branches list. I create a demo video but are not able to upload it here so please have a look at my post on twitter: https://twitter.com/i/status/1775507243586245080

Images resolution

I would like to know the exact resolution of my images in Figma. The software should indicate the global , we need to know when the image is too big for example. Like in Indesign, we need to know these two parameters : Actual PPI / Effective PPI The actual PPI is where we see if our images has been oversized or not. And that prevents display problems. In indesign, these informations are in the links panel. Effective PPI is where we see whether or not our images have been oversized. And this helps to prevent display problems. I know this problem has already been highlighted on Can I see the resolution of images I import into Figma? But it hasn’t been addressed yet. I think this might help designers to think about it. Thank you for your attention.

Accordian/Collapse pages?

Hello guys! In this picture you can see how my default work file usually looks. Within all those pages i arranged all the little thingies i later use to execute the design. I would LOVE to be able to collapse those pages intro groups, and only keep the ones i keep visiting during the design process. (Usally between Workbench, Home (or whatever), and project modules) The other pages are rarelly touched. Yet i need them there. Thank you!

Allow Stacking Multiple Blurred Frames

We should be able to stack frames/rectangles with background blur. Currently, if a frame with less blur is stacked over one with more blur, it overrides the blur of the bottom frame.

Enhancing Figma's Variable Options: A Call for Color Opacity Control

Let’s be real, variables have been a total game changer, but there’s still something missing, right? I mean, who wouldn’t love more control over font family, size, weight, and color opacity within variables? It’s time for Figma to level up and give us that extra oomph we crave! Picture this: effortlessly switching between font families, tweaking font sizes on the fly, dialing in the perfect font weight, and oh, don’t even get me started on adjusting color opacity within variables. It’s the stuff of design dreams! Figma, we know you’ve got the power to make it happen. So why not roll out an update, starting with color opacity? Trust us, the design community will be cheering you on every step of the way. Let’s make Figma even more awesome together! 🚀✨

Get version history for file using a date range

I’m using the REST API to get the version history of files for a particular date range. It would be helpful to be able to specify a date range to return versions for rather than have to look at the latest versions, then request the next chunk, and the next one, etc etc. It makes for a lot of unnecessary requests to the API when you’re looking at a date range that’s far in the past.

LAUNCHED: Quickly reversing gradients

When I switch the colors at both ends of the gradient, the process is too complicated. If there is a quick switching form similar to the current line end style, it will be better to reverse the gradient. I hope to adopt it

Allow comments to be "linked" together

Would love the ability to link, or connect, comments to one another. Example use-case: Often, when reviewing my peers’ work, I’ll find an issue that appears on several (or possible even all) screens within a given page in their file. Usually it’s self-explanatory to apply the comment/feedback in one place to all other instances of the same issue but that’s not always the case. Or the repeating offense may appear on Screen 1 but not again until Screen 47 so it may not be as easy to associate the issues as being the same thing. Current workaround: There is the ability to copy a comment’s link and paste that into other comments, thus linking them. This works ok but often it’s a pain to have to go and find the initial comment I’d like to link to. Benefit: Linking comments together would create “threads” or “groups” of related comments, therefore making it easier to duplicate/repeat feedback. Another feature of this could be to add visual cues for linked comments. For example, when viewing

Add a drawing option for comments

It’d be useful if users without edit access could draw with something like a grease pencil or marker to make annotations for themselves. It could be like a layer that turns on and off and doesn’t affect the design file. Or I’d like to know if anyone has found a workaround for this.

Multiselect - Apply layer properties

Create option to apply layer properties to selected layers using multiselect Sometimes I create a layer and change it, but I forget to select the multiselect first to apply the layer properties settings to all layers selected using the multiselect. It would be convenient if it were possible to change a layer on one frame, and then apply the same changes to all of them using the multiselect. selected layers that were in the layer that was changed

Allow me to pop out the variable window

It would be really nice if I could pop out the variables into their own window. Currently I can only have it as a dialogue in Figma, which means it always overlaps over my design and especially on smaller screens this becomes quite the issue. I often need to see variables and my design at the same time, so moving it to a second monitor (or even on a laptop quickly switching with alt + tab between the two) would be very helpful.

Manual placement of overlay always appear when interacting with prototype settings

Problem: The manual position I set to the component only appears once, when I have to set it. I cannot reset the manual position if wanted, because the overlay does not reappear after I’ve set it once.

[Auto-Layout Wrap] is the same for Top and Bottom alignment? Is it broken?

It works exactly how it is on image. And in case of “Hug Content” basically both options look the same. Is there any particular reason for it not to work normally? I encountered the case when I need bottom row to actually be bigger then top one.

More visually separated interaction connectors

I’m having a hard time selecting the right interaction connector, specially when then overlap like this. (see attached) I might be simplifying the matter a whole lot, and I havn’t looked all the potential angle etc. but here’s a start of what I’m suggesting, perhaps the team can look into the matter? What does the community think?

Disable "Push changes to main component"

This feature is an open door to disruption in a design system library file. From my testing, I assume this is only possible if a user: Has edit access to the library file Is making changes to an instance inside that library file I never want this to be an available feature to anyone using a design system component instance. Is there a way to 100% disable this feature? Component changes always need to go downstream, and they need to happen as a result of a deliberate change to the main component, never from a user making a subjective decision while implementing a component, and pushing a change upstream. Yikes. 😕

Integrate Direct Navigation Between Figma Community and Files

I noticed that there isn’t an option to directly navigate back to files from the Figma Community. It would be great if there could be a feature implemented for seamless transition between the Community and files.
