Suggest a Feature

Hi all,Have you considered adding a feature to the auto layout “gap” feature that could allow a user to set a minimum gap i.e. 8px and a maximum gap i.e. 40px?I’ve recently needed this function for building bar graphs. I need to make them responsive without getting too small and overlapping on each other or too big when expanded.

I haven’t found this in “coming soon” for variables… As it works now, a variable can control properties only of the topmost component instance. You have to assign a variable again and again to each instance each time you place it, you can not nest components with variables at all.

Please! Add padding between scroll bar and icons in the design side panel. Auto layout icon especially. I keep accidentally triggering the scrollbar when I try to click the icon. Can we add 8px or 12px of padding?

I would like to add images from my computer to Figma Make without prompting AI. I’d like to add it in manually as this would be much faster (and save the planet from burning GPUs).Is there a way to easily do this with code at the moment? Is this a feature Figma is working on?

I think that’s the new feature “nested components” need to be more functional. For example: I have a card with nested component button. But the only parameter that i need to edit is icon on this button, all other settings useless in this component. I thinks it will be cool if i can disable some of nested component’s paramters like show icon or btn size and leave only icon-type parameter. And it will be more cool if i can make preferred icons for nested component (in this card i can choose between filled like or unfilled)

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

Hi Figma team,I recently created a Figma site for my app and really love the experience.However, I need to upload a file called app-ads.txt to the root of my domain. This file is required by AdMob to verify ownership of the app and allow us to display ads.Is there any way to host or upload this file directly in a Figma site?Thanks in advance!

As a developer, I would like to be able to sort the “Ready for development” section in the left pane by most recent changes.This way I could know what changed more easily than having to scroll through hundreds of elements trying to find what might be relevant.  

In FigJam, it makes sense that tables have a computed size based on the size of the rows and columns. However, in slides, it might make more sense to have width and height be a fixed properties of the table. I’m finding myself having to resize the table constantly to fit it within the slides / margin guides.

I recently ran into a serious issue while working with different primitives in a large file.It may be an edge case, but when it happens, it is something very difficult and time-consuming.After renaming one primitive that was used across many layers, the file ended up containing several “missing variables” (which you can't find by searching). Some layers still referenced variables that were no longer visible or easy to find. The result was an inconsistent document where certain modes (for example Dark Mode) were still applied somewhere, but there was no clear way to locate them.In a complex file with thousands of layers, this becomes extremely difficult to resolve. I eventually fixed it, but it required manually checking large parts of the document.Right now, we can search for many things in the file (components, layers, text, etc.), but we cannot search for primitives and token that are applied to layers.A feature that would help a

Hello, I really hope in presenter mode, the presenter notes could remain at the bottom rather than displayed on the side. I believe many presenters rely on notes, and having them on the side can cause unnatural eye and head movement, which may create a less polished impression, especially in interviews.

hi Figma, i need your magic. I require both a maximum and minimum character limit for the text property. This will allow me to establish clear guidelines for UX writers, ensuring that their content fits within the designated character limits and maintains a tidy design and layout.

Smart Animate needs some TLC from the Figma team.I am lucky enough to work in an industry that is not averse to using more interesting animation in our UI, however I can’t create proper examples of interactions because of how Smart Animate works.Animation is directly tied to prototyping flows and that creates issues as animations are not ‘pages’ and exist outside of a page-to-page framework. Smart animating between 2 frames inherently means that all animations start and end at the same time, of course that is exactly how it supposed to work but this makes certain types of animations completely inaccessible - such as cascading items (multiple objects loading in on slight delays). Nested Animations can’t trigger on page load don’t work and they take forever to make so there is no real work around for this. There have been a few posts on the subject, but I believ

We do many presentations in multiple languages and the process is extremely cumbersome as each time we make a design change in one presentation, we have to duplicate it in all different languages. What would be a killer is the introduction of a Text Layer in Figma Slides. You would select one text layer across the deck and build the whole presentation in a given language. You could add another text layer that would replace the first one with another language etc. Hence, before presenting, you would select one particular language and here we go. If some design changes in the presentation have to occur, you make them in the “core presentation” and it would apply automatically to all layers. Think of the number of presentations that have to be duplicated to be translated in multiple languages today. It would definitely be a game changer and a reason for many companies to immediately switch to Figma (including ours).

Hi! I’ve created a dialog component in one Figma Make file and I want to use it in another file.What’s the best way to import or copy it over? Should I copy-paste it manually or is there a better way to reuse components across files in Figma Make?

Hi there!  we are currently looking in to transferring our communication team to Figma Buzz. Previously we created templates for our socials in Figma and used custom widgets for specific cases like scalable text highlights with rounded inner corner etc..  We believe Figma Buzz might be the right tool for them since we can connect our design system libraries but unfortunately we are not able to use our custom widgets in Buzz. We tried to create a Buzz plugin but this only work in edit mode, not in template mode.  would love to hear if the community encounters similar limitations in Buzz! have a nice one!Brecht

Sometimes a particular boolean variable can affect several layers. And some of that layers may require inverted visibility state. E.g. Layer 1 is visible when the variable is truthy and Layer 2 is visible when the same varaible is falsy. Let’s say, we have a multiselect field with a dropdown. When we select the first option, it should be added into the input as a label (label layer becomes visible). But also this option should be removed from the dropdown list as it’s no longer availiable for selection (option layer becomes hidden). So, both states depend on the same variable, but their conditions are inverted. It would be nice to have some negation operator when applying a varaible. Kinda logical not (!) in JS: ! isSelected. Or just allow us to apply boolean expressions as we do in prototypes , e.g. isSelected != true.

It will be great if the file owner can set viewer rights when we share file with others. The viewer rights can include: Restrict file downloading on demand Restrict copy on demand Restrict share on demand

Figma Make project ➔ Make settings ➔  General ➔ Images ➔ Favicon + Social sharing image. Question: how do I remove unnecessary images? Is there such a feature? If not, will it be possible to delete unnecessary images in the future? I'm attaching screenshots. 

hey Figma fam, so, we’ve been going on about this for ages, but seriously, when are we getting the “lock guides” feature? it’s 2024, and we’re still nudging guides by mistake 🙄 we all know the drill - you’re in the zone, designing away, and then oops, there goes your guide. it’s like playing a game of ‘spot the difference’ trying to get it back in place. super annoying. i mean, how many times do we need to ask, right? it’s a no-brainer feature that would make our lives so much easier. locked guides = no more accidental shifts. simple. let’s give it another shot. maybe if we all shout about it (again), Figma will finally listen and add it to their to-do list. who’s with me? catch ya later! flo

hey there! variables seems to be super nice but what i am missing is that if i make a colour alias to a specific collection - i can’t set the opacity separately (e.g. colour 50 with 20% opacity) So basically i want the colouyr to be from another collection and i want to set the alpha seperatly (controlled as rgba - since i dont need it as opacity) Example how we can fix this in token studio:

In slots ProblemWhen using Auto Layout with Fill container, a slot is treated as a single layout item, even if it contains multiple children.As a result, only the slot itself participates in space distribution, while its children can only divide the slot’s assigned space.In an Auto Layout container, when multiple items have width = Fill container, space is distributed evenly across those items.Example:Container width: 150px Items: 1 (Column header), 2 (Column header), 3 (Slot) → Each item gets 50pxNow, if I place multiple column headers inside the slot:3 (Slot → A, B, C)The space is currently distributed like this:Column 1 → 50px Column 2 → 50px Slot → 50px, which is then split internally A → 16.6px B →

Right now, it’s easy to copy content from Illustrator into Figma, but not the other way around. I don’t think that’s fair or beneficial for designers who work across multiple tools.Better interoperability between platforms would make workflows much smoother. Many of us use both Illustrator and Figma depending on the stage of the project, and being able to move vectors back and forth reliably would save time, reduce friction, and support more flexible creative processes.Design tools should not trap work inside their own ecosystem. Cross-platform compatibility helps designers, teams, and ultimately the quality of the work.Please improve copy-paste/export compatibility from Figma back into Illustrator.

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

Hi peeps. I’ve been updating my existing components that have instance swap elements for the new slots feature where they’re appropriate to use and I was wondering if it is possible to set the element automatically in the slot to “fill” width without having to do it manually?
