Suggest a Feature

Hello! I would like to suggest improving the plugins catalog in Community (not search). https://www.figma.com/community/design-tools?resource_type=plugins It is the filters that currently limit the search for interesting plugins. Because now only the top plugins are shown. It would be good to add: Sorting by date, trending, likes More accurate selection of subcategories (text, effects, ai … ) Show dynamic search near filters (Ajax) Review-rating system (need to add new feature) If the plugin is paid, then show the initial cost in the listing Maybe add “Add to favorites button” near button Open In… The first picture of the plugin as cover picture in catalog list The last date of the plugin update If you think it’ll enhance the catalog, please Vote. Thanks.

Hello Community/Figma,when I open my figma app and the software tells me to update and restart the app, I want to know what changes the update has brought. It's really a pain for me to find out what they've updated and I need to know if they've fixed anything. I already use the release notes via RSS integrated in my Slack but I always have to take this detour. I would also like to know more about bug fixes and small changes. The best user experience regarding changes and updates I've had so far has been with Blizzard games. Their changelog management has always worked best for me.- Changelog as overlay- What kind of update (major/minor/patch)- Category of changes such as bug fix/performance adjustment/new feature ...- A very short text about the improvement, if necessary with a link to get more information- In my personal settings I can switch on and off whether I receive an overlay or notThanks for participating and I hope I am not alone in this desire for shortcuts and more knowledge

In the variables panel, when you see variables that use aliases, e.g Semantic Variables that use Primitives, it would be great if you could click on the alias variable and then be taken to the original of that variable. This would make it easier when navigating large, nested variable design systems.

Is there a way to see a list of files and teams I have access to? Sometimes, the wrong account gets added as an editor or viewer by accident (due to multiple account usage, personal and work) and only admins can fix that. Would be nice to have some control over this and be able to “leave” teams that I shouldn’t have joined. About a year ago my manager told me that my personal Figma account has editor rights in our company’s Figma account and we were about to pay an editor seat for it accidentally. I had no idea this happened and I have no control over it.

Continuing the discussion from Comments | Hiding the Figma UI (`⌘`+``) and showing it again shouldn't also control comments` visibility: It would be amazing having the old Figma appearance back. It’s annoying having to press Shift + C every single time I have to open Figma (I switch accounts constantly) and the comments are always there. Figma could ask “Would you like having the comments hidden the next time you open it?” or something that would allow me to save my customizations. Cheers and have a lovely and productive week. 👍

when creating overlays you sometimes need to create multiple overlays for instance a drawer opens on the bottom (overlay 1 ) a confirmation popup ( overlay 2 ) when trying to prototype this you need to make the old overlay disapear and show the new one - that behavior doesn’t work properly.my suggestion is that any overlay has a close anyother overlay checkbox 

Hi Figma Team,  I would like to propose a new feature that allows users to lock specific sections within a Figma file to restrict visibility or editing access. This would be particularly useful for teams with multiple departments working on the same project, where certain sections may contain sensitive or confidential information.  The proposed functionality would include:  1. Section Locking: The ability to lock a specific section, preventing unauthorized users from viewing or editing its contents.  2. Access Control: Permissions settings to allow only designated team members or roles to access the locked section.  3. Toggle Visibility: An option to enable or disable the visibility of the locked section once the project is completed, ensuring flexibility for final reviews or presentations.  This feature would greatly enhance collaboration security and streamline workflows, especially in cross-departmental projects.  Thank you for considering this suggestion!  Best regards,  Ha Nguyen

make it possible for the text layer to be selected not as a square, but in the form of text (enveloping the text)

Currently I can only define a variable with some absolute value or referencing it to another variable but I would also like to define it using operations on other variables. for example Total Fee Amount = 100000 Paid Amount = 20000 then Unpaid Amount = Total Fee Amount - Paid Amount

Since Figma has all of information regarding design and layouts. I like to reference @ Figma pages or components (in addition to  multiple references) so that I simply build it accordingly to the specifications within my Cursor. That way, the Claude LLM can produce the necessary code while adhering to the organization of my codebase.

I have a big icon library where every icon is its own component set with 9 variants. I need to add the same properties on all component sets. Bulk editing multiple component sets at the same time would be a huge time saver.

Because Figma only supports pixels, and we often have to translate pixels into other units for Fonts, etc., it would be great to document these conversions in the style’s description and have it show in the inspect panel. The description field is already available for editing in the style settings, so adding its value to the inspect panel would make it much more useful.

I spent a good amount of time searching for mockups that match the ones I’m presenting my work in. The device frames presented by Figma are exactly what I’m looking for. There should be an option to “Export with Device Frame”. The prototyping feature does already has a lot of device mockups with pretty good quality to showcase designs. Does anyone else feel that this would save them a lot of time?

It’d help to add “Scroll Behavior” option for the items in auto layout, which gives the option for Position Sticky either for Top or Left (with offset values) depending on the direction of auto layout (vertical or horizontal). This will make creating tabular / grid layouts with row and column freezes possible… especially when creating feature comparison layouts.

I’d like to request a new feature that provides more control over sharing permissions for viewers and Dev Mode users. Current Challenge:In our organization, we have internal employees and external agencies set as viewers, and we also use Dev Mode on an organization plan, where developers are automatically set as viewers as well. However, the sharing permissions for both viewers and Dev Mode users are currently bundled under the same settings. This causes issues because we need different levels of access control: Some viewers should be able to export files.Some viewers should be able to copy and share screen designs.Some viewers should only be able to view without any additional permissions.Feature Request:Could you introduce more refined sharing permissions that allow us to control these settings separately? Specifically, having distinct options for:😎 Viewers who can export files.😎 Viewers who can copy and share designs.😎 Viewers who can only view.😎 Dev Mode users with separate per

Can Figma create a feature when we click a link in Figma that navigate to the design page, then will appear "Return to Link" like "Return to Instance" in component feature? 

 The User Enter Page Manual helps us navigate any page.  

I like shortcuts, but… Some Figma shortcuts override my keyboard layout shortcuts. For example:“OPT+<” or “OPT+>” to insert quotes like this « ». But in Figma its letter spacing controls. “SHIFT+OPT+<” or “SHIFT+OPT+>” to insert quotes like this „ “. But its line-height.Those shortcuts frustrate me, so I want to disable it. Other ones are quite nice.

Make it possible to download comments in the same way as local versions of files are downloaded, with the ability to also import comments along with a local file, now I transfer all comments from one file to another manually, also between pages in files, this is very inconvenient, and does not simplify the task

While I can link width and height to variables, it can be hard to get complex components to scale correctly using them. Having a scale variable that behaves just like using the K key would make things a lot easier. Unlike using the K key it would need to remember the ‘base’ 1.0 scale of an object.

Would be extremely helpful to have the option to always show min-w and max-w in the sizing panel! Selecting the dropdown takes forever. Thanks!

If you copy anything as a PNG, it defaults to 2X size. The problem I’m running into is that I’m copy screenshots from Figma into other tools like Axure all day long. Since “Copy as PNG” only copies at 2X, I’m constantly needing to group objects and create export settings unnecessarily over and over.I’m hoping for one of these solutions somewhere. Ability to “Copy as PNG 1x” with the existing “Copy as PNG 2x” Ability to choose a preference for “Copy” options Ability to respect the export settings of the parent frame when copying children (so I don’t have to recreate export settings repeatedly)Does anyone know if any of these are on the product roadmap to address? Or if something exists that I just haven’t found. I’ve seen this issue come up in forums a few times. Thanks for any help or tips anyone might have.

Hi, Updating components slows down the inability to browse other components from the open review detail of a component. I would also expect the possibility of browsing components in the detail.     Furthermore, if I update all instances, a button to move to the next component appears. However, it does not behave in such a way that it moves to the next component, but to the first, which is strange. An example of use is if, for example, I have the first component in the change list, where there are 300 occurrences, but I want to skip it at the moment, I go to the detail of the second component, update it, but then I have to go back and deal with the second component again.     I would like to see a button "Update all in this change/push/..." in the list of component changes. Now I can only update components one by one or all at once.       Thank you for checking the comment and I would be pleased if some (or all :-)) of them were implemented and I discovered them in one of the next versi

It would be great to be able to add a note when declining someone of Figma access, so I wouldn’t have to write separate email with explanation of decline decision.
