Viewer-restricted members cannot edit using "anyone can edit" password

I have created a Figma design file I have changed sharing settings to ‘Anyone with the link and password can edit’ an set a password. Outcome: People who are NOT a member of my team can edit - good. People who ARE a member of my team and are set to viewer-restricted for Figma can NOT edit the design file, despite having the password and link. I believe there is a bug in your access control logic that is using the Member-level access control (viewer-restricted) rather than the document-level access control (password to edit for ANYONE with the link). Desired outcome: Both members and non-members of my team (regardless of thier member billing status) should be able to edit a design file that is set to “Anyone with the link and password can edit” and use the correct password + authenticate as normal. This bug has been acknowledged by Nancy on Figma’s Product Support team.

Add Code Panel in the Component playground - Dev Mode

It would be great if the code panel would also be visible in the Component playground in Dev Mode. I understand the importance of restricting developers from making changes to the design, which is why we have the Component playground. However, developers might also need to inspect a component in various states, not just the state initially set by me. This feature would greatly benefit developers by reducing the need to navigate back and forth between views, pages, or files. I was envisioning something like this: Thanks!

Request to add "switch length units" in the settings or on the ruler 请求在设置中或标尺上 添加“切换长度单位”

当我需要制作一张海报或打印文件，我可以直观获取实际尺寸。WHY NOT ILLUS OR PS? ILOVEFIGMA ! figma画板很大，很流畅，很顺手。illus没办法创建太大的画板，ps运行太慢！ 比如我现在需要制作A4尺寸文件，我会创建210X297px的框架，导出后适应A4纸张打印，他能工作！但是如果能直接修改像素为毫米单位，那就太方便了 When I need to make a poster or print a file, I can visually obtain the actual size. WHY NOT ILLUS OR PS? I LOVE FIGMA! The Figma drawing board is very large, smooth, and very convenient. Illus cannot create a drawing board that is too large, ps runs too slowly! For example, if I need to create an A4 size file now, I will create a framework of 210X297px and export it to fit A4 paper printing. It will work! But if you can directly modify pixels to millimeter units, it would be too convenient

0 dp is a valid measurement

Sometimes you need to be explicit when calling out a measurement where two elements are touching each other. The current dev mode measure tool does not allow you to explicitly measure a distance of 0. This is a required measurement for proper dev handoff and keeps us from using this feature.

Use "move out" when swapping overlay

I’m trying to design a modal overlay that’s supposed to have internal navigation. In the image below, I’d like the user to tap the “Japanese” row and navigate to the screen on the right, displaying details about this collection. But I also wanted the use to go back by pressing on the “back to collections” area. For some reason, Figma doesn’t allow the “move out” animation, but the “move in” works.

Email notifications - Set default notification settings for files unowned by me

The spam is really annoying. This is what my settings look like, but when I first comment on a file, it sets it to this. I keep forgetting to change it on each new file, so I get a bunch of spam of all comments in all files that I commented in.

File Management

Hello! Your product has really helped our team grow over the years (thank you!) But as we’ve scaled, it’s been harder and harder to manage our files. Can we please add more nested layers to the tree structure, add the ability to tag files/folders, and add file descriptions for quick searches?

FigJam - Be able to freeze columns in a table

Hello! I’m wondering if there is any way to freeze columns while scrolling left or right in a long table. For example, you can do this in Excel. Column contents stay in view as you scroll sideways along a table or sheet. Is this possible in FigJam?

Bring connectors to Figma Design... properly!

I’ve been using connectors in Figma Design (via a simple ‘hack’ of copy pasting them from a FigJam document), and they are supported as connectors, they behave as expected (anchoring on groups, frames, layers, etc), but they’re quite buggy (they seem to be always outside any grouping, and when copy pasting them they can end up all broken up and weird places in the canvas). So my request is simple: fully support connectors in Figma Design, they’re useful for linking flows, annotations, etc. Figma team: make this happen quick please, don’t hit the brakes now.

Audio recording for figma files

Hi! After today´s discution with my dev team, they said that in handoffs sometimes can be too much text and speficications to read, and sometimes it gets boring or they are tired or even don´t see whats in the text. The most effective way of doing handoff of course is specifing everything that is essencial, but when you´re doing handoff person to person, it gets easier to translate the idea of the project. So i thought that maybe a feature of audio recording would be beneficial, especially in the feature that already exists, in comments. Can help PMs transmit they´re questions of the project faster, and can help designers to communicate in more ways and effective ways, and even different kind of coummunications

Custom Frame which is always on your account with frame section

🌟 Hey there, Team Figma! 🌟 As a dedicated user of Figma, I’ve got to say, it’s been an incredible journey so far! 🚀 But hey, I’ve got a small suggestion to make our Figma experience even more amazing. 💡 How about adding a feature where we can customize frames? 🖼 Sometimes, we don’t always have the exact device frame we need for our designs, especially if we’re working on something unique. It’d be super convenient if we could easily add our own frame designs and have them saved in Figma for future use. ⏱️ If this feature already exists and I’ve missed it, please let me know! Otherwise, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea. 😊 After all, simplifying the process of setting frames would save us a ton of time and make our workflow even smoother! Looking forward to your response! 🎨 figma #DesignIdeas #UserFeedback

Principle Integration / Import

We are running into limitations with motion in Figma and seeing that we can do what we need in Principle. Principle will import Figma files with great precision. It would be great if Figma had the ability to import these motion files back into Figma to keep it all in one place. We are using the Figma REST API to pass UI and motion data to our developers. Figma needs the ability to have the Principle motion to come back into Figma as motion styles/variables so we can pass this along too.

Figma interface improvement feature

Hey there! I’m a designer and use Figma on a daily basis, like many of you. Our job as designers is to improve user experience and make interfaces easier to use and understand. However, it turns out that in improving everything around us, we’ve completely forgotten about what we have - our tool, Figma. I found that I was constantly experiencing negative pattern when working with the Plugins menu. So, I decided to do some research to identify the problem and come up with a solution to make the daily experience of using Figma more convenient. → I chose myself as “persona” and conducted an interview with myself to localize the problem → I involved my colleagues and conducted additional interviews to confirm the hypothesis → Then, I made a survey for designers from different chats and groups to gather quantitative data to see if the proposed solution would be useful So, here’s my improvement: Plugins groupping feature 👇 I've improved the Figma plugins menu I’m currently

Enhance connector lines so they componetize nicely

I love using FigJam connectors in Figma to layout flows. They make diagram manipulation easy to iterate and refine. The drawback is that once I’ve completed a flow, I can’t create a master component and then the instances I need to present in multiple contexts. The FigJam connectors don’t want to nest inside of a frame, and as a result, my instances have no connector lines. Additionally, the only way I can share the completed diagram outside of Figma (.png or .pdf) is by making a screen cap, because the export function won’t capture the FigJam connectors either. So one of my steps once diagram is almost final is to replace the FigJam connectors with Figma lines/connectors that will componetize. It’s not so fun. It would be nice if those FigJam connectors could componetize along other elements in a frame. There must be something technically preventing this, but it would be a good enhancement, IMO.

Allow text styling within string variable property

We want to use string variables for translation handoffs. It is common in our projects that we use long text elements, that have mixed styles (adding links, adding bold to key phrases). When we add variables to text, the font style is “flattened” when switching modes. We can create text with HTML tags like “Hello <‘b1’>World<‘/b1’>” (b1=semibold equivalent of the font style used) so our devs know where to style the text, but it makes it difficult for us to evaluate visual aspects of our texts (like “Is the text not too busy? there’s to many bolded words”). It would be great to have a tool that can do both: add font styles to strings, and render them at the same time.

Colored Mindmaps

Would be awesome if mindmap nodes and branches were in colored bubbles instead if plane text. For big mindmaps color coding is a must, but picking a color for each branch manually takes away from the process of free-flow of ideas.

Dev mode Measurement feature is somewhat useless

I’m currently using the Figma measure plugin during my design to tech handoff for my less front end savvy tech teams. The best part of this plugin is that it highlights the frame box that I’m measuring against. Since in Web development every HTML elements are modeled as CSS box. Therefore highlighting the frame box in my Figma design for tech handoff is super important, just to give my tech team a high level idea on how to construct the HTML elements and write the CSS code to position those HTML elements. However, when I played around the Figma dev mode recently, I was hoping it can achieve similar functions like the Figma measure plugin. But the Measurement feature is just useless since my tech team will have no clue that the X pixel measured is between which two layers, especially for a very complex design layout. Figma measure plugin is free but Figma dev mode is not. I would hope at least Figma dev mode can achieve the same functions like the free plugin, but looks like not. Kind o

Admin Option to Require Comments When Publishing

I searched and couldn’t find any an option for this… I think it would be nice to have an admin toggle to require a comment when publishing a library. I manage our team’s component library and feel a detailed comment for any changes is imperative, but I don’t like having to be the comment police each time a teammate makes a change and publishes without leaving a comment. Being able to set this globally or maybe even on individual libraries would be nice.

Document names in browser history

It’s incredibly frustrating that when you hover over a Figma browser tab, it shows you the document title, but when you click and hold the browser Back button, the page history just shows “Figma” for every document you’ve recently visited. So you have to randomly click on them until you find the one you wanted to revisit. Is there any way you could show the real document title in the Back button history? It does already appear in the browser history window, so I’m not sure what the back button does differently, but it’s the same in Firefox and Chrome. (It’s even worse in Safari… it just shows the URL, but not the part that includes the document title.)
