Allow manual open/close of right panel

I am generally liking the UI3 update, but am finding it a little annoying when the panels are both closed, but then the right panel opens over something I just clicked on. Scenario: Panels are closed, so I have a larger space to work. I see a button over to the right side of my screen that I need to edit. I click into the button to select a layer, but the right panel pops over it and suddenly I’m clicking on auto-layout options. I like being able to close the panels and use more of my design, but it defeats the purpose if I can’t easily interact with everything I see. When the panel opens over something I’m working with, I have to stop, reposition my design, and then start again. Either keep the right panel open all the time, or let me manually open and close them.

New Beta Release

I am struggling with the scroll bar in Figma when trying to move up and down the page when zoomed in. With the new layout, it is behind the tools on the right and I keep clicking other stuff instead of the scroll bar and it is so far over it took me a while to find it. I think it should be on the other side of the right toolbox for easier use and locating it. Also having the Text, mouse, frame, etc. tools on the bottom is throwing me off. Everyone else has it on the tool, so having it on the bottom is a brain tease and annoying to me.

Generate editable Figma UI layouts from URL (Website)

Hi All, My feature request: generate editable UI layouts from URL (website) or convert website URL into Figma UI layout. This will save so much time for the designer! We alreay know how to convert Figma layout into html. So, ca we do the opposite? Figma design from URL. Yes, I know about the plugin from @mutraf But it doesn’t work well enough https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1306523217067838054/amourm-website-url-to-design-ui-ux-library-ai-design-generator-ui-ux-library-kit. I pray that someday Figma will make it its native feature.

Default focus on a section/frame on page load

Allow designers to set one frame/section as the default focus so that when a stakeholder like PM/Engineer randomly opens a page in Figma project, they can see the right things designers want them to look at. A lot of times, stakeholders get to the right frames/sections when links with frames are shared. But then they often navigate to different parts of the file and it is difficult for them to see where to look at in a page. Maybe page level thumbnail capability instead of per file?

Prototype console to display variable values for troubleshooting

I’m new to prototyping with variables, and I’m finding the learning curve is pretty steep 😅 I’m trying to build my own variable troubleshooter in my prototype that displays the current value for each variable, to help me see if the issues I’m running into are due to my failing to SET a variable, vs failing to properly DISPLAY a variable. But now I find myself troubleshooting my troubleshooter… 😭 Place forehead on desk, repeat rapidly It would be amazing if there was something in the native Figma UI for the prototype that would display the current value for each variable. Then as I interact with the prototype, I can see whether those variables are changing properly or not. It would really help narrow down the culprit for my prototype bugs. For example, when previewing a prototype in Axure, they have a Console panel that looks like this:

Identify redundant or useless layers (auto-layouts and groups)

It would be great if the tool could automatically tell me if I have any layers that I don’t really need to have (or even just give me an option to check for them). Especially when I’m working with a component or starting from a previous design, I often end up with “extra” layers that aren’t doing anything except cluttering my file. They don’t have any backgrounds, strokes, or spacing applied, and there is usually already another layer that is maintaining the auto layout or grouping needed. Trying to go through and clean them up on my own takes a bit of time, and many users often don’t even bother. It can then lead to issues finding the correct layer to adjust an auto-layout or remove a style.

Mode switching in prototype not just global

Hi - When prototyping - I would expect to see a mode switch individual components not the global container: for example: I use Default (no hover) and Hover for Modes - which effects the colors of the text, bg, etc When I go to create my prototype and I select Hover - set variable mode to: Hover I expect when I hover over each individual to turn off or on when I hover over them specifically (one at a time) but currently this looks at the whole side rail container and hovers them on all togher

Archive for Files/Projects

It’s a distraction to look at the files that I won’t be using again. I want few files to be stored but not as active ones. It’s better if we have tabs or statuses for the files like active and archived. Did you guys feel the same?

Inspect-mode for view-only files should show property values along with variable

Currently, the inspect panel for view-only files only shows the variable name on assigned properties, not the actual value. Without any reference to the variables and their values, this makes it useless for devs that just need simple access for measurements. I understand the push for Dev Mode, but you should hide actual values behind a paywall. At the very least it should default to the value, or show the value alongside the variable.

Figma Slide Decks Bug Report: "New style or variable" plus icon button not working

I have the latest version of Figma running on my Intel Macbook OS14.6.1. I created a brand new Slide Deck “from scratch,” (which actually uses the “Light Slides” template by Figma) and, when Design mode is active, nothing happens if I click on the “New style or variable” plus icon button. I am also not able to change the names of color variables, or modify the existing color variables. I can only add Theme/Template (inconsistent naming) colors when NOT in design mode. I guessing this is a limitation of the current Beta version. So for those having similar issues, the only way to change “variables,” which are actually Theme/Template colors, is to turn off design mode and adjust the colors there, but these colors cannot be named. Furthermore, the only way to modify a Theme/Template color (the only way to access the tiny circular color modification icon button) is to have an object with that color selected, which results in changing the color of whatever object is selected just to modify

Unclear Draft Location in Figma: Team Spaces Causing Confusion

Not long ago, Figma introduced a major change to how drafts are managed. Now, there’s a distinct draft folder for each team you’re part of, accessible via a dropdown instead of being always visible. Updates to how drafts work Issue: When creating new drafts, it’s unclear where they’re saved—there’s no breadcrumb or clear indication, especially when starting a draft outside the Figma homepage. It seems that drafts are placed in the team space currently active in the dropdown, or from which your open tab is associated. This often leads to drafts being mixed up, and I’ve had trouble locating them. In one case, I added an editor without realizing the draft was saved in a customer’s team space, which caused them to be added to the client’s payroll instead of mine. The breadcrumb in the file header only shows “Draft > …”, which doesn’t help. Proposed Solution: Including the Team Space in the file breadcrumb would clarify which space you’re working in, whether it’s a new draft or an existi

Props values dropdown too narrow

As you can see, when I open the prop “Variant” to see the available values, I can see very little of the actual text. So, as in this case, I can’t distinguish between the last two options: ‘Expand (hug)’ and ‘Expand (fixed)’ It would be great if the width of this dropdown could be just a little wider (or even dynamically hug the content) Thanks!

Viewers should be able to resolve any comments (even if it's not their own)

I usually work together with my PM on projects. They are not designers and they use Figma to gather feedback from the clients, it is very annoying that they are not able to mark the client’s comments as “resolved” simply because they’re viewers. I understand that it could be seen as a risk that a viewer could potentially delete other people’s comments, but here we’re just talking about resolving, which doesn’t delete the comment. Is this a feature that could be added for viewers? It’s a bit extreme to pay a full design seat just to be able to resolve comments imo

Bulk ready for dev

Hi all, is it possible to bulk apply ready for dev at all? On one of my massive projects it would be great to select several frames and set them as ready, rather than one at a time.

Faster component rendering

Instead of instantly changing all component instances accross the files and lagging when changing the component itself, it would be great if changes would start to change only after mouse or keyboard interaction. In this way, component editing would not be so slow (if it’s used a lot of times across the files).

Plugins and "SAVED" Resources

We probably all have a huge amount of plugins and resources saved in the “saved” section of our profile. Being able to create lists to organize this section would be a luxury and a pleasure to the eye.

Show unread comments count in files thumbnails

It would be handy to be able to see the amount of new comments that each file has in its thumbnail because it’s usually the first thing I see when I open Figma and we work a lot using the comments. The notification panel is fine, but this I think would be a nice addition.

Create style variants of a selection

I am building a design system, and it’s quite the work to create text styles for every variant. It would be so nice if we could select a couple of text layers, turn them into different text styles and be able to rename them individually without having to deselect and individually select them again.

Google Classroom

It would be great to be able to bulk add students directly from Google Classroom (classroom importing) and also easily be able to toggle edit access for the whole class in an individual FigJam, regardless of their membership in a project or team.

Figma Command Palette that allows you to edit any component

Imagine command palette which allows you to change any component property - color/text styles, variants, props etc without ever touching the mouse. Linear command palette but for Figma essentially. The distance I am traveling back and forth from frames to the property panel is absurd so this would improve the ergonomy of using Figma

Multi-edit components with the same props applied inside a component set

Hi 🙂 I love that you’ve added the multi-select feature, but when it comes to component sets, I often don’t want to edit all variants inside a set. I’m working on our Design System and was editing our button component set. I wanted to change the icon size of all buttons with the variant prop S applied. But when I trigger multi-edit variants it always selects all variants inside my component set. (All sizes, states, etc.) Currently if I want to make changes only to for example the icon, I have to shift select each one of them by hand and as they are nested inside I have to double click a lot. If I miss-click I also have to start over sometimes. It would be wonderful if there would be an option to filter by the property you want to multi-select when inside a component. So in my example I would filter by the variant “Size: S” and only my S buttons are selected. I can then select layers inside one element and all the other variants with the size S will select the same element as wel
