I like creating custom components in Figma to use in FigJam. In one of my projects I’m using FigJam to keep track of characters, locations, etc. for a novel I’m writing. I connect these components together in FigJam to create story arcs, etc. I have created a custom character component that has a space for an image of the character, their physical traits, inventory, etc. When I populate this component in FigJam with info for each specific character, some of the sub-components in the main component I need, and some I don’t. I, FigJam, I’d like a way to easily select which sub-components I want to use for each instance of the component (maybe a simple list with checkboxes when I edit a component), choose variants of components (which you can already do), variables, duplicate objects within a frame, etc. Essentially, I love the power to design custom components in Figma, and I get what you’re trying to do with simplicity in FigJam. If you allowed me, in FigJam, as a consumer of my own com

When using Figma on the web with an iPad it appears that I cannot delete a file. On computer this is triggered by right clicking. Long press works on iPad within the Figma interface but it does not work in the file selector. Instead what pops up is the prompt to save the thumbnail image.  I would like to request that the team prevent a long-press image save dialogue and instead give the option to the delete the file, or create an on screen button to manage file settings.   

hi there :) my suggestion is about when we’re in prototype mode. I would love the ability to draw onto the designs without changing the designs and leaving comments using the pencil tool - maybe even writing as well. I attached screenshots of a super simple concept of the idea (for one person commenting on the slides). thank you to the figma team for such an awesome tool. also; much love to all, xo 

I want to request a persistent page for the notification stack (currently a popover). I find it hard to use the notifications popover menu in the File Browser because the popover closes every time I click on a notification. If I have a stack of, let’s say 30 notifications across 5 files, I have to re-open the popover menu over and over and over again to stay on top of my notifications. Viewing my notifications via the Figma menu bar icon doesn’t solve this problem. Every time I click into a file, the popover closes. Referencing this Figma support article, I don’t see an existing feature that makes it easy to manage my notification stack. To reference another app that does this well, I like the Inbox feature in Asana, which gives the notification stack its own page, and a persistent item in the app sidebar.Asana Help Center

In my organization often  enhancements of designs are approved while dev is working on previously approved version. Product managers are constantly asking for links of the prototype that will never change - a signed off link but Figma has no way of doing this unless I Have a copy of the file for each version and still I can’t guarantee someone accidentally won’t open the wrong file and change something inside. not to speak of the nightmare of confusion it can bring.I work all updates that haven’t been signed off on branches and when I merge my branch link is dead. - Can we have a link from file history that can be shareable? I’m being asked to provide PDF which really can’t work on a dynamic variable based prototype unless I go through the manual process of capturing myself screenshots to put them in PDF which is painful to say the least.

Hello to the Figma team and forum users! I have been learning this tool over the last couple of weeks and I’m amazed at so many of the features and ideas. However, there is one thing I’m struggling to achieve due to a limitation. When prototyping for some platforms, it’s nice to create a mockup for the overall platform UI (like a Mac/Windows desktop, with a window open), to then use a background for all other frames, which are in turn the contents of that window. Currently, in prototype viewer mode, it’s not possible to keep this mockup frame as a background for all frames. One way to solve it is copy-pasting it (most likely as a component) into each and every frame you want to show in the prototype, and placing it behind everything else. That’s a lot of repeated manual labor. Plus, the frames themselves end up bigger - they have to stay at the fixed size of the mockup screen. So checking how your UI’s resize is harderd. Apart from that, having that background always be visible or clic

First off, I’m loving the new Swap Library feature! Problem Today, it actually helped me discover some “rogue” styles and components that were leftover from an old library! Now I can try to locate those and finally get rid of them in our current library! But wait - what if I don’t actually know where these are in the file? Or even further, what if I can’t get Figma to find a match? Suggestions: The one thing I wish this feature could do is to help me actually locate those rogue styles or components. I tried using the Instance Finder plugin but it still didn’t help because I have to actually locate them on the canvas/file first. ☹ What if the dialog let us force a new style or component match, instead of us running into a dead-end with the None found message. Currently, it tries to match using the name. But that might not always work (like in this case.) Any ideas are appreciated. Otherwise, wanted to pass this suggestion on to the Figma team. Thanks!

Every editor of a file currently can invite whoever they want to edit the file, which cost a lot, and is actually not necessary (for example - designers invite developers as editors). I want to limit the permission to invite new editors - only to admins.

Hi all,Currently, the only way to select a destination for Scroll to interaction is by dragging and dropping the arrow to select the target object, from the component itself on the frame.The selection menu in the interaction panel only shows top level objects. This makes it impossible to select an accurate destination while using conditional interactions for example.A workaround could be selecting one of the top level elements, then manually add an offset.Obviously, it’s really not flexible, because if your content changes, you’ll have to manually change the offset. And it doesn’t work in responsive view. A elegant solution could be to add a manual destination selection, by allowing dragging from the panel to the target. 

Is it possible to disable the requests for seat upgrades in their entirety? We have processes that ensure users submit requests for upgraded seats/licenses via our Service Desk. Figma upgrades are getting missed because users can do it natively in the app. Can this be disabled? Thanks

Please look at Mural to follow their shortcuts. One that is especially important is being able to press TAB while in a sticky to have one created right next to it. I also do not ever want an arrow by default to be added to connect the next sticky created.

Is it possible to have an AI input box in FigJam to ask it to summarise the content of the board? For instance, when we have done a retro.

Currently, when we get a request for a license upgrade, we only have the option to accept or reject the request. It would be helpful if we could include an optional note to the user in that screen with details on why their request was accepted or rejected. In its current state we need to send a separate email to let the user know why their request was rejected.

This issue was posted two years ago with no reply so i’ll add it again. (See here: Help me draw shapes in FigJam) Please add smart drawing features to FigJam! Invision Freehand had this and it was one of the most delightful and lightweight features i’ve used while designing. This is also one of the only blockers for me to fully utilize FigJam for low-fidelity sketching. I just want to quickly draw circles and rectangles 🙏🏼

Hey, I have multiple accounts in Figma (personal, my company, my client’s workspace and so on) but I want to use my primary account to be used on the Ask community. However, Figma logs me to the community from my client’s company account where I’m added as a team member (different email domain). When (which I already asked with the support) will you support the account switch on the community page? (e.g. Sign in with Google → Choose account) or email/password. Currently, after login out, and clicking Log in again, you can’t access login screen that will allow you to provide email/password or connect with Google. For that need to use another browser or go to incognito mode.

I would like to suggest the possibility of moving files in bulk in the same way that I can move just one file. When I right click on a file I have the option to move the file. When I click on the option, the following UI appears to me. This is wonderful. However, when I try to do the same action with multiple files, I do not have access to this option. To be able to move all these files, I must add the folder I want to transfer as a favorite and then drag all the files to it. This is a somewhat annoying process, as it takes a considerable amount of time to do this, in addition to being laborious. My suggestion is that the option to move files also appears in bulk actions.

It would be very helpful if we could tag or @mention people in notations. When we are communicating to developers through annotations in Dev Mode, we use notations to describe functionality or design styles. If we want a developer to see a specific notation, we need to add the notation then use a comment to tag the specific person and tell them to look at a specific notation. It’s very complicated. If we could tag a person in a notation, the person could go directly to the notation that was recently added.

On a slow internet connection (or when offline), instance swapping can be super slugging (or just not work at all).Since Figma knows when there are updates to a library, it seems like it’d be able to load instances from local cache instead of hitting Figma’s servers every time. (It can’t even search for components created in the same file, since search requires internet.)I realize Figma is web-based and was built with the thinking that users are always connected, but the reality is, even in 2025, internet can be spotty. (I’m typing this on 4-star hotel wifi.)I also experience the same disappointment when designing while flying. Despite instances being used _on the very page I’m editing_, Figma always has to hit the servers, which means in many cases, I’m unable to swap.Better offline support for instance swapping would be a huge plus. Thanks!  

A thing that would be great would be to have the same pages concept as in Figjam and the design files. I have weekly updates with my client, and I don’t want to create a new Slide document every week. I’d love to have all my slide decks under the same file.

To better organize team hierchy allow ability to upload cover photos to projects within a team

I think it would be awesome to have categories to organize saved community files, just like Pinterest, Instagram, etc. So it would be easier to find something I saved for later.

Currently, in Figma, the "Frame Selection" feature allows users to wrap a selected layer or instance in a frame. However, there is no built-in functionality to apply this action to multiple selected instances such that each instance is framed individually. Instead, users need to frame each instance manually one by one, which can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when working with a large number of instances.Proposed Solution: Introduce a new option, "Frame Each Selection", that:Automatically wraps each selected instance (or layer) into its own separate frame. Maintains the hierarchy and positioning of the original instances within their new frames.This feature would improve efficiency by reducing repetitive actions and enhancing workflow productivity, especially for users dealing with batch processing or large-scale design projects.

When Figma publishes a component library for large files, the waiting time for publishing is particularly long, which can easily result in disconnection during the publishing process. I suggest optimizing the functionality of publishing component libraries for large files in Figma.

If Auto Layout and constraints are not used, there should be a button that automatically adjusts the frame height from the bottom to the last design element when clicked. This would remove the need to do it manually for each frame.
