Suggest a Feature

I use the same page color for all of my projects. For consistency, it would be great to be able to just add the color with a variable and not have change the color for each new project.

I’d love to suggest a small but potentially powerful feature:a local clipboard panel inside the canvas.Think of it as a lightweight, always-visible spot where I can quickly drag elements I create during a session and reuse them throughout the file — like a mini asset shelf, but temporary and personal.🎯 Use case:While working on complex screens, I often create utility elements (buttons, arrows, highlights, etc.) that I need to reuse across multiple frames. Right now I either copy-paste from frame to frame or scroll back and forth.With a built-in clipboard panel, I could drop those elements in one place and simply drag them out when needed.That would seriously reduce navigation time and context switching — especially on large-scale design systems or messy exploratory files.Attaching a quick visual mockup of the idea for clarity.Would love to hear what you think!  

I’m migrating from adobe to figma for all my design stuff and I thought I loved figma until I tried to redesign one of my clients logos and I found out there are isn’t glyphs panel for your fonts. I know there is a plugin that has built in glyphs but they aren’t useful for making logos. I feel like this is a huge deal breaker for me because I can’t use fonts how they were intended. After doing research there are many others who want this to be a feature from years back and it definitely got overlooked by the Figma Devs. I would really like to be able to use figma because I like the features and UI of the software. but if I can’t make the designs I want in it there is no point of even using it. I understand it’s mainly for making vectors and web design but so many graphic designers use it everday! This is my petition for adding this feature into figma, if you agree reply to this post please so can make a difference

I’m frustrated with the forced centering in the bounding box of images when they are placed.Obviously, for a responsive design, the image is going to be seen vertically & horizontally at the same time depending on the device. This has been super annoying because I’d expect to have an anchoring/alignment positioning for the image so that I can keep the focus where I want it to be for each of its uses. I have all these useless editing options, but no “Top/Bottom Left”, “Top/Bottom Right”, “Top/Bottom Center” options. Just the default “Centered” which cuts off peoples faces or eliminates the focal point on anything that’s not dead center. PLEASE ADD THIS.

Would love the option to be able add my own AI API Key or be able to incorporate Claude AI features in the Figma Make prototypes. For example, to generate text.

Could you make the height of the each content HUG (like following the largest size) instead of FIX? I'm so frustrated counting the fix height everytime I used this feature 

I would love for there to be a new mode, aside from Design and FigJam for a proper Diagramming tool, similar to Draw.io but better and within a single software. Currently I use Draw.io for UI designs, and Draw.io for UML/Design Diagrams. These become very complex, so do not suggest we use FigJam which in comparison to Draw.io, is a child’s toy. Would love to see what Figma cooks up for this sort of tool, as I really like your design ethos in general. Draw.io has a number of issues which I’m sure you could resolve.

I wanted to check if whether Figma is planning to launch an official MCP server designed for use with Claude—similar to the existing one available with CursorThanks

Hey ! I’d like to know if there is any chance to have a vertical marquee effect on Figma Site in the next weeks ? Well, great to have the two horizontal options, but our sites need rythm with variety of directions !  

Context and ProblemFigma's current Instance Swap Override is a useful feature for swapping singular instances within a component. However, it becomes cumbersome and time-consuming when applied to more complex design patterns, such as:Managing dynamic content for cards, sidebars, and templates. Creating unique combinations of content within reusable components.Currently, designers must create a new component for each unique content combination, which leads to bloated libraries, repetitive work, and a loss of efficiency. This approach also lacks flexibility for managing dynamic layouts, which are more naturally represented in code through structures like parent-child relationships in HTML or Children props in React.Proposed Feature: Component "Child" or "Slot" OverrideIntroduce a new override type, referred to as "Child" or "Slot," allowing component creators to define designated areas within a component where users can **drag and drop any content**. This feature would streamline the wor

I love that with the add-on I can better integrate figma designs to google workspace. It woul be awesome if the chip conversion would also work for google sheets currently its just a link, even if the add-on is installed.  I would love to have it like in google docs: 

In my project, a primary color variable needs to be used with different opacity levels to represent various states. Unfortunately, variables that reference the primary color variable cannot have their opacity adjusted individually unless the alias is detached first. This significantly affects color consistency across the project. I hope a separate opacity setting can be added.  

To add an out animation for an object in Figma slides, I have to create a new slide. Plus, let me trigger the object animation after I change my slide. I don’t want to double-click if I have both a slide transition and an object animation.

Is it possible to change the units on the ruler without a plugin? If so would love to learn how! Trying to make a research poster on Figma, and finding it difficult to confirm that the scale is correct in inches.

I'd like to suggest being able to select different colours for different measurements, for instance blue for 8px, pink for 16 px, so on and so forth. It's easier to standardize my designs, and to help people quickly get the different paddings and margins. Thank you 🙂

Measurements should always display above everything in the UI including annotations. Currently, when I try to get the distance between some elements, it is becoming difficult because it is being hidden by the annotations I have added. Also would love the ability to change the location of the annotations and if they should display to the right/left/top/bottom of the element you are annotating.

Currently, it’s possible to hide both sidebars. I usually work on a smaller screen, in which this feature becomes helpful when trying to review designs on a canvas.I think it would be useful if we are able to hide either just the left sidebar, or just the right sidebar, along with the current feature of hiding both. Hiding the just left sidebar would help designing be more efficient on smaller screens, as having access to pages and layers is not always necessary.

Figma Buzz looks very promising for our team, but there are a few features that our team will need in order to use this product.Autolayout on the parent frame. Email graphics are a great use case for Figma buzz, but often times assets need to adjust in height based on the headline or copy length. Persistent linked data. If I click out of the import pane, all the text linking I did just disappears. Linking groupings of pages. A simple application is a card with a front and back side. The variable data might only be on one of the sides, but I’m still going to want to export the front and back for each card. I need a way of grouping the front and back as a single multipage document that applies to bulk creating assets and exporting them as multipage pdfs. Batch process using template based on data. For example, use the HR department business card template when the field in the “department” column is “HR” and the Finance department business card template when the field in the “department”

I want to favourite some files. But I don’t want to always switch teams in order to see them. That should be a personal favourite that will always show. Regardless of team switch. 

Following a change in logic or flow we have to update the same thing in various screens, but they’re not always right next to each other. In bigger files it can become hard to keep a good overview, and designers might miss instances where something would’ve had to be updated. To avoid this, I have to manually add a new comment to every single instance, which makes it really messy and hard to keep an overview if there’s more than one change to be done in different screens. IDEA:It would be great if I could tag screens within a page that relate to one comment / action item, so the designer can see right away all the screens where the same action has to be done. 

Hello,We’re currently migrating our studio portfolio to Figma Slides.Our main concern is ensuring clients (who will discover the portfolio for the first time) can navigate through the slides easily and intuitively.❌ The problemWe’ve noticed that new users often struggle with Figma Slides’ default navigation, especially when trying to go back to the previous slide:They must use keyboard arrow keys, which many people aren’t used to anymore (since most sites and tools are fully operable by mouse)Or they have to hover on specific screen edges to make small navigation arrows appear👉 Overall, the default navigation is not intuitive, and this creates friction that undermines the purpose of a clean, user-friendly presentation.✅ Suggested improvementsWe believe the following features would significantly enhance the experience.Each is useful on its own, but ideally, they could work together for maximum flexibility:🖱️ Better navigation toolsAbility to add navigation buttons directly from the to

This, but in Figma.Making it possible to paste elements into an already existing component. Im not talking about instance swapping. That would mean creating new components for what i wanted to put into my component. I dig the way webflow is handling it.   

在设计文件内部增加文件夹功能，且可以多层嵌套，这样方便对不同模块的页面进行分组管理。

First and foremost, branching is a great addition to Figma, thank you! Here is some background on how our Style and Component libraries are setup: Project: Design System File 1: Styles (text/color/other token styles) File 2: Components (primitive components, larger organisms, and some templates) What I’d like to do is create a branch in File 1 and change our brand color and add some text styles. I’d then like to “stage” this branch so that I can reference it in File 2 (another file) and test some of the changes downstream in components to see how they might look before merging and publishing File 1 (in case there are things I need to change/add). I would love some suggestions on how I might accomplish a workflow like this, or if it’s something that might be supported in the future. Thanks!

It would help with the prototyping and testing workflow to allow users to select multiple colors in the “Selection colors” section of the property sidebar on the right. When you select colors you will be provided with an option to “create styles form selection” and to “add to variable table...”This will enhance the initial UI testing and research phase of UIX design allowing you to easily and quickly apply your final styles and colors to a design system’s style set and variables.
