Display scroll bar in prototype preview mode

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope this get more attention here.

Autolayout for mask

I always need to shadow text that is bigger than the frame, the only way to do this, is when i move it in mask, but i always have to change mask size to the changed instance text, but i cant, because size cant be changed in instance. Please made autolayout for mask

Ability to change Auto-layout direction

Hi there!By that i mean change it from left to right and right to left for rows, and top to bottom and bottom to top for columns. For example it would be helpfull for components with icon+text like buttons. Instead of making variants with icon on the left and icon on the right we can just apply property attached to auto-layout direction.

Set multiple boolean variables at once via an interaction

At the moment my interactions look like this: Is there a way to combine them all in one action, so “Set Variable 1 and Variable 2 and Variable 3 to false” ?

Paste unformatted text into variables

Currently when I copy text that has it’s styling set by a variable in our component library then paste that text string into a collection it also creates an additional variables (and it’s associated modes). If we could lean on the standard Shift + CMD/Ctrl + V shortcut to paste without any formatting that would remove the extra step of deleting the erroneous variables or pasting the text elsewhere to remove the formatting and back into the collection.

Set Default Text Properties

It would be awesome if we could set properties like font, size, alignment so everytime we start a textbox it would have all the properties already set. This exists and works with shapes for example, but the text ends up overridden by the last textbox you edited. Is there a way to workaround this or should it be a possible new feature? Thanks

Slides Layouts for Non-Designers

As I designer, I’m pitching to my company about the benefits of using Figma Slides instead of PPT. I created layouts with column breakdowns so folks can easily snap elements to pre-set 2 col, 3 col, 4 col. But when I turned off design mode, I realize non-designers don’t have access to this. They don’t have access to X,Y coordinates or width/height adjusters so it doesn’t seem to solve the problem of non-designers creating misaligned slides, unless I build out a bunch of components to block them from making mistakes.

Create SubFolders / Organizing Your Workspace and Adding Folders in Figma's Drafts Section

Figma is a powerful design tool that allows designers to create and collaborate on projects seamlessly. However, as the number of projects grows, organizing your workspace can become a daunting task. Finding specific projects can be difficult, especially if your workspace is cluttered and disorganized. Fortunately, Figma provides users with the ability to create folders and subfolders to keep their projects organized and easily accessible. One of the most useful features of Figma is the ‘Drafts’ section, which allows you to save incomplete or unfinished projects. This feature is especially handy when you need to work on multiple projects simultaneously, but don’t want to clutter your workspace with unfinished designs. The ‘Drafts’ section gives you the ability to save your progress, so you can come back to it later. To add a folder to your Drafts section, follow these easy steps: Click on the ‘Drafts’ section located on the left-hand side of your Figma dashboard. Click on the ‘Create n

Allow just desired element to be viewed outside the frame instead of disabling clip content

I really love clip content, it keeps everything inside the frame. But sometimes I want some elements to be outside the frame eg: Menus. So what I do is disable clip content in the frame. but the issue is that right now every element will be outside the frame not just the menu (as shown in the pic) So If there’s a way to this it will be so helpful as I wanted this for long time!

Support configurable permissions when sharing a presentation (like you can on prototypes)

When we share links to prototypes in Figma Design, we can customize the sharing to be visible to people outside of our company (great for usability testing). Permissions for slide presentations have to be set at the slide file level, which is annoying when you have the presentation open and you want to just adjust the sharing permissions from right inside the dialog.

Navigation Improvement

I am new to Figma. I am using the app version. I suggest the following changes to the Actions drop down menu. The reason is there is a disconnect between the browser version of this menu and the app. In the browser is has the Back to Files option. In the app it doesn’t, however there is a little Home icon. It’s ironic that in an application such as Figma something like this seems to be overlooked, and the solution is quite simple. Simply add the Home icon next to the Back to Files text in the browser version. That little image would connect the two versions and increase the user experience. See attachment. What say ye?

Improve Bundling Docs Could Use More Info About Quirks

Hello! I’ve made plugins for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Sketch, and now Figma. Figma has by far been the nicest developer experience, so thank you for that! Honestly the whole experience has been smooth except at one point — bundling. Specifically, I had to use some webpack plugins to work around a few syntax error issues that came from dependencies that were compiled for es6, which don’t go through TypeScript and don’t normally get transpiled by Webpack. I realize this is a bit of a toolchain specific request, but since y’all have focused the bundling doc on Webpack and es6/esm modules are only becoming more common, I would have expected at least a callout or something that some extra work might be required. I think it’d be nice for future new plugin devs to have a bit of a heads up that some special considerations may be necessary when using dependencies. Hopefully this is useful. Thanks again for the otherwise excellent DX!

Update libraries trough actions

First I want to mention how much I love actions, great addition to Figma, thanks! I’ve come across something that bugs me. There’s an action to “Publish changes to library”, but there is no action for “Review library updates” or “Update libraries”. It’s a frustrating UX flow to publish changes using the keyboard, navigate to the project that needs the changes using the keyboard, and then having to use a cursor to update the libraries 😖

Owners should be able to delete comments

I can’t seem to delete other peoples comments they have left. I am the creator / owner of the figma file and can only delete my own comments. Wondering if this is this normal? Why can’t we delete other peoples comments? The only solution I have found is to copy and paste the frames into a new design file which seems somewhat absurd?

(Minor bug) No animation around skipped slides

Minor issue in Figma Slides: If you set all the slides to animate (e.g. dissolve), then this layout: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] works as expected. Changing slides dissolves the view between all of them. But, if you hide a slide (using “Skip slide” option): [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] then the animation works between 1-2 and 4-5, but there’s no animation between 2-4. The skipped slide causes the transition to be instant - no dissolve, no push, nothing.

Launched: Export Compressed PDFs

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When I export out PDFs and attach them to emails for review for stakeholders who either are not in Figma or just prefer to review and leave notes via PDF mockups, I always have to find a PDF compression solution that can shrink down the sizes. In addition to PDF compression, sometimes merging multiple files into a single document is something that I wish Figma gave some options for when exporting. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) PDFs exported when they contain some kind of image seem to be quite large, maybe because the whole image is intact and it isn’t cropped down. Or just the quality is retained as close as possible to the Figma quality. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. I’m not aware of any community plugin that solves this. Are there any

Feature Request: Improved User and File Management

tldr; Please add improved user management features which allow quick access to a list of all users who have access to any team file, regardless of how that access is granted, along with the ability to remove or edit that access. This list should include users who show up in the share list of a file with the ‘anyone with a link’ permission selected. Please also add a view which shows all files, across all projects, and their link sharing setting. In addition the list should include the ability to edit those share settings one by one and in bulk via multi-select. the details; It is currently very difficult to audit what files or projects a given user has access to or to see all of the users who have access to your files. Similarly there is no way to view what the sharing settings (anyone with link, only invited people, ect) are for your files without individually viewing each one. I reached out to support to ensure that I wasn’t missing something but they confirmed my fears and asked me

Custom Prototype Settings: Device Sizes & Mockups

Hello, As a designer, I would love to customize the prototype settings and design my own device mockup. A device size commonly used is 1440 x 982px, I should be able to use that specific size with a device mockup in my prototype.

Swap Overlay and set a different position

Using overlays greatly reduced the amount of duplications in my frames, still there are flows when I start with an overlay in a given position and would like for it to be swapped with a differently positioned overlay. Currently I do that by targeting a new frame and using a timed overlay opening from that. Looks fine in the prototype, but adds few extra steps/duplications that I’d happily do without.

Custom spacing in lists between paragraphs and between numbers/bullets and text

Thank you figma team for the new list feature! It has been my most anticipated feature for YEARS. There are 2 features that I would love to see to support it. I believe lists should support paragraph spacing between bullets. I am unable to start an ordered list at any number other than 1. Which feels too restrictive. I type 2. and start typing and figma changes it to 1. Does anyone else agree? Is there anything I missed?

Enterprise license fails to meet enterprise multi-brand management needs

Why does Figma lack the necessary features for managing multiple brands, particularly in the Enterprise plan? Many enterprises have more than 40 brands, including product brands, sub-brands, and branded initiatives. Why are these modes limited? Is there a technical issue that prevents Figma from handling more than 40 modes due to memory and performance constraints? In other words, are there limitations related to WebGL, databases, or browser memory that Figma cannot work around? If using modes for multibrand management is not the intended solution, I would appreciate it if Figma advocates could share the most effective and scalable approach for maintaining large design systems in Figma that accommodates more than 80 brands. Thank you.

Figma Slides | slider and links

Hi everyone! I have 2 questions about Figma Sildes. 1. Am I blind or there is no slider to move between slides? And you need to scroll through a lot of slides? Any other idea how to do this? 2. I have table of contents on first slide. Is there any way to make it linked to the rest? Like Chapter 1 Blablabla - I clik there and it move me to the fight slide?
