When I have a prototype that is embedded in my portfolio (or another website), in the flows panel, I see all of the flows that I have prototyped. However the embedded prototype view does not have the checkmark next to the active flow, like the regular prototype mode does. This can make it hard to know what flow I am looking at, as there is no other indicator

In Illustrator or PS, when editing text, I can stretch the text freely with the select tool and it is still editable. I like designing flyers in Figma and getting the custom kind of stretching is impossible without keeping it editable. Would love for this feature to exist - thanks!

We often run quizzes at our company with team members using Microsoft Teams, so we love the idea of interactivity with Figma Slides. The only problem is that when we share the presentation link for them to interact, the audience have the ability to navigate the slides, which means they can see the answers. I think there are probably some use cases where this is handy, but for this case, I think it would be great to have a setting that means that we can disable the ability for the audience to navigate and have them only see and interact with the page that we are on. Alternatively, another way that would help, is if there is a way that we can disable certain pages from appearing in the audience link, then we can hide those from view and they can only see those when we show them in the shared screen on teams. Either/or would be great but we’re finding much use for the interactivity as it is as the moment. Thanks 🙂

When there are many tabs opened, it’s hard to tell which tab is design file, FigJam file, or prototype file. The current icons are not strong visual differentiator, not easy to scan

We use a lot of gifs in our slides and you can’t insert the link to a gif in Figma slides.

Currently, a prototype displayed in the iPhone app on any model with a notch (e.g. iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 13) goes right to the top of the display so that the top of the prototype is hidden by the notch. Prototypes should be restricted to iPhone’s ‘safe area’ and not go into the areas at the top of the display like the notch or ‘Dynamic Island’. Apple guidelines are here: Layout | Apple Developer Documentation

Hey there, I just wanted to submit some feedback regarding a recent update to the top left of Figma on desktop (mac). This update places the minimize, close, and other functions behind an additional click. Truly, this change feels fundamentally negative because all mac apps follow the existing paradigm of showing the close, minimize, and maximize functions in the top left. With this recent update, this makes me scramble to minimize the view during presentations where I’m needing to share my screen. What is the intention behind this update and isn’t there a better spot in the UI to join in these types of additional functions for split screen mechanics? This feels like a completely unnecessary change.

I frequently work with high-fidelity prototypes, which often involve complex interactions and connections. Managing these connections across multiple screens can sometimes feel cumbersome and time-consuming. A feature that would significantly enhance the workflow is having Figma display all input and output connections for a selected screen in the right sidebar. This would make it easier to visualize, review, and manage the prototype’s navigation and interaction flows.

Very often I find myself taking screenshots on my phone, doing research, etc, and then I’ll have to send those images through slack, email, whatsapp, whatever, so I can download them on my laptop (I don’t have an iphone…) to finally import them into Figma… A real pain… It’d be so nice to have a “Send to Figma” as a share option…

Many people use Flides (definitely use that name ;)) to embed the presentation on their website or share it to people. As of today, the buttons to scroll slides are quite small. It’d be great to have more options, for example bigger “previous” and “next” buttons like swiper does (see BuiltForMars case studies). I tried adding text with links but this comes with several downsides: Need to update the links on every slide (= painful) No animation when links between slides (which is actually another feature request) The link is only on the text and not on the enclosing layout These optional scrolling buttons could also come with different counters. I reckon that would need to be another entity within Flides, some kind of footer that would be applied to all slides.

We use FigJam to document the flow and logic of products during development. Each product may have multiple document versions corresponding to various updates. The issue arises when duplicating a file: the embedded links within the document still point to sections in the original file. Proposed solution: • Update embedded links that point to sections within the original file to instead navigate to the same sections in the duplicated file. • Retain links that point to external sections or URLs (e.g., Google Docs, product pages) without any changes.

I want to set parameters “programmatically” in order to match other layers’ parameters. For example, I want the height of layer A to be the same as the height of layer B. In some cases instead of using auto-layout, I’d rather want to set the height of B as a code {=h(layerB)}.

Please enable column headers (such as “Last Modified”) in the “Recents” view to be clickable, allowing files to be sorted in ascending or descending order based on the selected column. It would make finding relevant files a bit easier for us. Thank you for considering this request.

Currently, Figma allows users to view who made changes on specific dates and restore file versions. However, in collaborative environments, when multiple designers work on the same file, it becomes challenging to track specific changes (e.g., who modified a component, altered a style, or moved an element). This lack of granularity can lead to inefficiencies when trying to pinpoint changes to revert or discuss. Proposed Solution: Introduce a Design Change Log feature in Figma, similar to Git for developers. This log would: Provide detailed change tracking at the object/component level. Highlight who made each specific change and when. Allow users to review changes in a granular view (e.g., “Designer X resized this frame,” “Designer Y updated the text in this component”). Enable selective restoration of changes (e.g., restore only one modified component instead of the entire file).

I love the new horizontal layer scrolling but still prefer the tool bar at the top of the screen especially since I’m working on a smaller Mac. The bottom floating toolbar in the middle bottom of the screen just feels inefficient in the way. I mainly use shortcut keys anyways and hardly use the toolbar. Is there anyway I could still have the toolbar at the top but still have the horizontal layer scroll feature?

FigJam is great, and the open session feature is so helpful 😍 However, after running several workshops with first-time FigJam users, I think it’d be even more helpful in a few ways: Onboarding new users: This could be done in one of a few ways: Create an up-to-date template discrete How-To sections (eg, How to zoom, How to create a sticky). Make it easy to remove parts if it gets too detailed for your audience. I know other there are templates with great instructions in them, but they’re all out-of-sync and embedded in other templates. Might as well make it’s own thing and keep it up-to-date. Better option: Create a tour that guides new users around the interface very briefly, focusing on moving around, stickies and following a spotlight. Non-editable sections: Having first-time users able to edit, move or delete entire sections is a bit horrifying. The other day, a

Currently, after pasting an image to a named rectangle, it is automatically renamed to “image”. This is no helpful to me. It keeps me rename the layer every time I place an image to a rectangle (or other shape) layer.

Sometimes adding nested instance to a component you don’t need access to all properties of this instance. For example user wanna add existing button component to a bottom sheet component. Button component has several properties such as style, size, icon, label, etc. and all of them will be added to the bottom sheet component. But for these case the user needs only the label to be manageable, another properties should be permanent. So manageable list of properties for a nested instances will make properties layout more clear, easier to work with and will reduce number of accidental mistakes, when somebody can change property that should be permanent.

Hi!! I am a big fan of Figma and when the slides version was released I was very excited to try it out. For some context, I am an advertising student and professional from Brazil, and when we think about Figma we think about a professional and free platform for design projects of various kinds. The problem now is that the slides version doesn’t reflect this idea, it’s too simple and plain. The resources that make Figma a great and precious platform are not there, so when I am using it, it seems more simple than the C competitor (if you know what I mean). Some tools that I missed using the platform: Blend mode Positions Layers

I use variables for everything now. I use the apply variable functionality A LOT. Digging down in the font-size picker, font-picker, font weight picker just gets so annoying and really interrupts my workflow. I really how you did it for line height and letter spacing. Would be nice to just have an apply variable functionality work the same way for all the parameters. I am praying to the Figma gods this will be improved soon. Thanks! ❤️

The default settings (at least in my Figma) load a percentage for letter-spacing, but this is not allowed in CSS. For a less avid programmer this may be confusing, when trying to get it to work. Either set the default to a px value, or add a warning inside the Inspect code

My constraint properties aren’t updating across my component instances after I edit the parent component. I’ve ensured that my instances are inside their respective frames. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this something to do with an update? I would love it if the constraint properties applied to the child components when I edit the parent!

Is there a way to add ‘Match Size’ when using the Paste to Replace function? (CMD+Shift+R) I have tried a few plugins, but Paste to Replace is more smooth and quick.

I’m missing the list view we have in UI2 - I usually go by the component name which is now almost unreadable when you have all your components ordered by folders and sub-folders. We have many components that look very similar in a small thumbnails, and the grid view makes it harder to know what to insert. Insert menu - 2 different sizes - There’s a difference between clicking the Actions menu vs using the keyboard shortcut for inserting components, each opens in a different size, and both makes it even harder with the unreadable component names The component menu doesn’t close after dragging/inserting a component to your canvas. You have to click 2-3 times outside the menu for it close and even then it has some delay, it makes for a really frustrating rage click. I’m finding myself just click Esc or clicking too many times just so I can get back to work.

We experiment with components in our WIP files as we create our designs. When we move them to our design system, they are now new components and our designs are not longer linked to the one in the master component. It would be great if we could simply cut and paste master components into other files.
