Branching is awesome, but restricting it to org-only teams is not. Experimentation and versioning are essential, table-stakes practices in product design, no matter the number of designers on a team. Figma has always been focused on making great design accessible to and inclusive of all, but this pricing strategy is exclusionary in nature. Even if there are restrictions for number of branches, branching should be available to non-org teams. Please fix.

The newly-introduced (as of today Jan 5, 2022) Comments features seem to have dropped ID number from each Comment. Please bring it back. When collaborating in real-time over Zoom w multiple designers/developers/product folks (multiple times a day!) this now makes it very difficult to describe WHICH comment the team should be focused on. Before today’s change, the leader of the disussion would simply tell everyone that she’s talking about Comment #25 (for example). Now there’s a new layer of complication in getting people to understand which Comment you’re actually talking about, since they no longer have unique numbers.

To review which libraries are outdated, it would be handy to see the last published date of libraries in the admin resources table. Currently you need to review each library details to see the date.

Allow to increase structure bar width in Variables. When you have a complicated structure finally you need to shorten the words to fit them. It takes a lot of time to find a variable in the structure when you need to change it. Sometimes you just not able to do it and need to guess, because the full variable address doesn’t fit in the available space.

I want to reference a screen from one project in another project for flow purposes. But I don’t want it to be editable and I want it to stay updated if that screen has any changes. I also want it to be clear that it’s a “screen link” and just in that project for flow purposes. Currently the designer has to manually copy and paste a screen from one project to another, it’s not clear that it’s just a reference screen from another project and it will eventually be out dated if/when that screen gets design updates. Screen Links will allow for better organization but most importantly a clear source of truth.

If I multi-select one item into a component set I should be able to set the dimensions (Fixed, Hug, Fill, Add min, Add max, apply variable) in all the items. Right now if you multi-select one item used into different components you only have the option to set a variable

Hi, I am wondering if you could handle this repetitive work: When I’ve got an overlay with many states, I connect these states with “Swap overlay” but the persisting default is “Navigate to” so I have to change it every time I create a new link. Would it be possible to detect if both view are overlays and auto-set “Swap overlay” as default. I imagine it would auto select for a case when both views already have an in/out “swap overlay” or incoming “open overlay” link.

It would be really nice if I could manually change the width of the name column within the local variable settings. We sometimes use names that are quite long, and I now cannot read the entire variable name because it’s automatically shortened. Allowing me to adjust the width of that column would solve the problem.

Plugins can’t be moved more up. Seems like it stops where the old navigation menu on the top used to be. Plugins, like Iconify or Photopea are not resizeable either. So while using them, I can’t access the bottom menu a lot of times. It would be a bit better if I could move them more up to show the bottom menu.

is there a way to always turn off?

We’ve found it useful to have a designer record a walkthrough of a design for a distributed crowd. The audience gets the benefit of commentary with the advantages of async collaboration. Reviewers can watch on their own time, which is particularly handy if they were on PTO. Video can be paused to take a closer look and make comments. Rewind We use screencapture software to do this, resulting in an often low resolution view of the design. And reviewers have to switch back and forth between the video and the design file to make comments, not to mention having to manually follow the designer through the file. Request I would be amazing if the designer could record an audio walkthrough, synced such that it follows the designer’s cursor through the file. A seamless integration would be much lower effort for the designer. The design would be experience in full visual fidelity. The wa

the problem i need as much real state as possible to view the designs and screens am working in a readable viewable way, if the makes sense. to come around this, i currently scroll around and zoom in and out, or hide and show the panels, most probably its a mix of both. either way it’s a annoying… or i need to buy another real big monitor, but i already have a 15" macbook pro, which is great and enough when i hide the panels. this might be a big problem for laptop users without a secondary big screen, or who are portable and don’t have a dedicated work space. this is specially evident when they need to widen the left panel in order to view and read the layers tree. (which is another issue maybe raised in another topic) suggestion make side panels modular (photoshop/illustrator kind of thing). assets, layers on the left panels can be separable and can be undocked and moved elsewhere separately. design, prototype, i

Currently, project thumbnails call for a ~5:3 ratio → 1920 x 1152 in order to not be cropped. This seems arbitrary. With the advent of Figma Slides, now seems a good a time as any to make the standard into a traditional presentation ratio (1920 x 1080).

Hey there! As a design teacher I often need to use parts of the Figma interface in my slides to explain certain Figma’s features. It would be handy to have a new community template file where to pick up icons and parts of the new Figma interface in order to make these educational contents. The only official file is the UI2 UI Kit and it’s also pretty dated back to years ago.

It would be nice to have a bit different truncation for case where text doesn’t fit the area, but the ending is important.

Something about the old UI made it easier for me to understand that layers and pages were two sup panes. I think it was the fact that pages were indented a bit. It helped easily distinguish the pages and layers section of the left pane. Now with UI3 I find myself not being able to find where pages end and layers begin as easily. I need some sort of visual anchor here. My eye used to follow the negative space to the left of page na

I believe for many UI designers starting out, finding tools are quite difficult. For example when I started out as a designer I did not know the kinsd of objects or shapes that will enable the constraints function. I think it will be a great idea to search tools,effects, etc. and directing users on how they can find whatever they are trying to find. I find even designers of more than 3 years have issues with the arrangement of the new UI and end up reverting back to the old UI. I believe the search feature will make this easier for them. Thank you for the platform to air my views.

Review Library, Present and Share should be next to each other, since when you run Present and verify your prototype is very common case you decide to Publish, get new Library Uploads, or Share a link.

Hi everyone. I came across a very strange logic in Position, Auto layout and Appearance sections of right panel. Maybe the names are random but width and hight belong together with corner radius. Transparency and corner radius together? Really? Wander how are they related. Although sizes and corner radius not really relate to the position section it was more understandable. And I would like to complain about all those three sections below component section, because of it it always jumps and might be even hidden if component is to complex. My ideas might be not good enough but you definitely need to rework the panel. Thanks

Would be nice to have a place to see all the branches that you have pending to review. Like in GitHub. https://github.com/pulls/review-requested We solved this problem making a hack using Figma API, but would be nice if this feature is in Figma 🙂github.com/Telefonica/mistica-design

As the product landscape for technology evolves, we are seeing more laptops on the market integrate touch screen support. As it stands, Figma is a terrible user experience for touch screen users. This includes the Figma app on tablet, which is due for an update. It would be great to add a toggle function on the desktop app to select keyboard or touch UI, allowing users to select their preferred workflow experience.

Hi Figma Team, I wanted to suggest a feature that would greatly enhance the user experience. Currently, when I have multiple projects or files open in Figma and I accidentally close the application, all my loaded projects are lost, and I have to reload everything when I reopen the app. This can be quite frustrating and time-consuming. Would it be possible to implement a confirmation prompt that asks users if they are sure they want to close the application when multiple tabs or projects are open, similar to the warning prompts seen in web browsers? This feature would help prevent accidental closures and save valuable time for users. Thank you for considering this request.

Hi, Figma people. I really like your app. I know your are tired of numerous complaints and it is difficult to make everyone happy. Interfaces are exremely hard to create and maintain. But I have a big plead. I could not find the same request? Maybe I was not looking hard enough. → Please make bigger “Fold / Unfold” chevrons / arrows which are next to frames on the left panel and next to styles names on the right panel. I have a hard time to aim and hit correctly and sometimes I have to hit them several times until it folds / unfolds itself. The size of this opening arrows / chevrons is 3 to 4 times less then my cursor pointer arrow. Maybe its only me. I hope its only me. Thank you in advance 🙂

I want to be able to customize what tools are in my toolbar (like what you can do at the top of Mac Mail where you can customize which functions are quick access and which ones don’t show). After the most recent Figma UI update, things are more nested now, which makes sense some, because you don’t want an “all you can eat buffet” of tools showing all at once. But there are some tools I use frequently that aren’t at top level for easy access. And some tools are at top level that I rarely use. I do use keyboard shortcuts, but I don’t want to have to make keyboard shortcuts for everything. Thanks for considering!

How about adding a Comment type-“Approval”, for an audit trail of all designs signed off by stakeholders/clients. This then tracks the approval process of designs/screens and takes a snapshot of the design when the approval was done. Link this feature to the same before/after feature you have created in Dev mode, and you’ll have a nice tracker of approvals and iterations/enhancements in designs. Design Approved [screenshot] Design enhancement approved [screenshot now vs last approval design] Yes? 😉 Yes!
