I like the new figma update in the slide show where they added object animation but i got a request that would be really helpfuland it’s to add “After Delay” in the timing section because it really helps with the animation

Hi, I’m looking for a way to see what has changed, in the versioning, when viewing Figma files sent to me. As far as I can tell you can only view old versions and not see what changed between an old version and a current one. It’s particularly difficult to detect changes on files with many pages/boards/wireframes. It would be great if you could click a version and compare it to the current version with a highlight and greyscale/colour content to easily see what’s new/what’s not. Thanks

Currently, when using Figma’s color contrast checker, the modal closes automatically after inspecting the contrast of a single element. This behavior disrupts the workflow when checking multiple elements (like buttons with different text colors) in quick succession. To enhance productivity and streamline accessibility checks, it would be incredibly useful if the contrast checker modal could be ‘locked’ or set to stay open while navigating between design components. Why This Matters:1. Efficiency: Reduces the repetitive task of re-opening the contrast checker, saving valuable time during design reviews.2. Improved User Experience: Supports a more fluid and uninterrupted design process, especially when auditing UI elements for accessibility compliance.3. Consistency: Allows designers to maintain focus when assessing multiple elements without needing to re-access the tool repeatedly. A ‘lock’ or ‘pin’ option within the color contrast checker would greatly improve accessibility evaluations

Minor change—thoughtful impact to UXWhen stopping the music during sessions, maybe to address something, the music starts over. I feel the STOP button (and record needle control easter egg) should function as a pause and resume. 

Awful thing. I mean Position Panel  is placed beneeth the Components one. In complex projects components have many nested components with properties. Thus, this panel becomes very large. But this is not what is scary. The shit is the Position panel jumps up and down each time you select different items having component properies or withoiut them. It freaks me out every time I'm trying to find Postions. For one item it's higher, for other is lower. Sometimes I even have to scroll! X and Y, rotate, adjustment  are the base things it must be nailed.Let user set their own order panels.  RIght now it seems like the Adobe's worst nightmare.

There should be a function to number the slides. Also would help if creating a TOC for longer presentations.

I recently found out that when you have no boolean variables created, right clicking the ‘eye’ icon on the layer panel won’t show anything. The only way the right click works on this is if you already had any boolean variables created in the ‘local variables’ section. Only then, you see the option to create a new variable directly from here. This behavior was pretty confusing to me, and I thought something was broken.

I have a master page with assets and components, then pages with instances and customizations to the instances, let’s say each page has versions of some of the components. I want to export certain objects of each page simultaneously, without having to go back and forth between pages and hit Export again. If nothing is selected, the behaviour I expect is that Ctrl+Shift+E would export all items in the entire document that have export settings, not just the page that is currently open.

IssueWe want to implement Figma prototypes in a multi-layer application, which can contain all sorts of other files, like Unity, Unreal, Protopie and they can communicate with each other.The Figma prototype would run in an iframe and we need a way to listen to events from the Figma prototype, in order to create interactions between the Figma prototype and other applications. It seems there is currently no way to make Figma work in such an environment.  Feature RequestI imagine there could be an additional option in the interaction window, so that I could add an event to be triggered when a button is clicked. And the iframe which contains the Figma prototype should dispatch this event to out custom JavaScript.

Hi Figma team,I often organize my pages using symbols (like ↳) and emojis (✅, 📝) to simulate hierarchy and visually label sections (screenshot attached). While this workaround works, it’s too manual and inconsistent—especially for large files with multiple collaborators. Two things that would help:1. Page Indentation / Nesting – Native indentation or grouping would make structuring pages much easier and cleaner.2. Default Icon Slot – Instead of using emojis in titles, having a dedicated icon or label slot for pages would keep things tidy and readable. The ability to collapse page groups would save a lot of scrolling back and forth.3. Headline Layer – It would be great to have a non-clickable “headline” or section divider in the Pages panel without having to create a blank page just for labeling. This would really improve project organization and save a lot of manual effort. Thanks for considering!

It would be great to track how much time we spent on each file, it would remove so much manual work to track any freelance project timeThis way we will have the time we spent on designing aside from research and other stuff

💬 4 years ago ​@Wolfgang_H proposed being able to manipulate a locked layer while pressing a hotkey and relock it immediately after release: https://forum.figma.com/topic/show?tid=29231&fid=21I find that idea still pertinent today, as I was working with multiple objects on top of a background. I accidentally select the background too many times, so I had to lock it. But then I want to resize/change the background, so I had to unlock it. Going back and forth with 🔒/🔓 introduces quite a bit of friction.🤔 I do understand though that having too many shortcuts/hotkeys can be annoying as people make mistakes and they can hit the wrong key accidentally. However, I would love to have this feature in the little big updates as I deem it necessary enough. Thank you all for reading!

Hey guys, Let’s be real. The main spectrum of work with UI, whether it’s an app, or a website, is displaying data or content (such as feed, lists, posts, comments, etc). We can do a component of a post card, for example. Then duplicate instances, and wrap that in an auto layout. It would be cool to have a repeater that shows right up after you’ve activated the auto-layout, where you can specify how many times to repeat the instance (component) and bind data to it. At the same time, it would be cool to have a centralized data location somewhere (i.e. when you click on the data, open a shared data set so that the same data can be accessed from different repeaters). (Screenshot is just to deliver the idea, it’s far from the perfect UI, I didn’t spent much time of thinking it through since Figma has a great product team on board to elaborate it and deliver in an amazing simplified way) It feels like it’s a very natural evolution of Auto-Layout feature. So, what do you guys think? (P.S. So

The new UI3 preview introduced a new title at the top of the sidebar. I’d like an option to collapse or hide that title, as it uses too much screen real estate.

Bilingual designer here... I am using Chinese and English to do design, but, a LOT of fonts show the default Chinese in Figma, cannot be switched to desired Chinese fonts😵.I love Figma!! I hope the fonts switch problem could be solved asap😳...Thank you Figma team!

I want to designate a frame as an overlay so that when I create an interaction pointing to it,  the default action is “Open overlay”.  If I create an interaction from an overlay type frame, the action should default to “Swap overlay”.For example.I create a frame called “button” I create a frame called “pop-up” I set “pop-up” as an overlay type I create a prototype connection from “button” to “pop-up” the iteraction defaults to “Open overlay”.Figma’s UI already identifies overlays with an icon but this doesn’t happen until a connection is made to a frame and then the action must be manually set to “Open overlay”. Enven so, if a connection is made to a known overlay, the default action remains as “Navigate to”, which is not the desired behavior.

Please please please for my ADHD brain can Figma enable horizontal scrolling of all the file tabs I have open 😭 I know I should just be better at organizing but it is painful when I’m near or at the limit of visible file tabs open, open a new one, and I can’t even see where I’m at in that navigation.File tab groups would be another amazing improvement (like in chrome!) as you may have multiple files going for the same project subject matter.

A video is added in a design, but there is no option to export it as .mov or .mp4 when my colleagues need the original file for develop

I would like to have an option to move layers back and front manually without changing their order even if they are in auto layout

Hi! I love adding haptics to my apps, but I can’t test them using Figma, as it doesn’t support adding them as responses during prototyping. I have to use ProtoPie for that, but it’s not as convenient and time-saving as Figma. Please add haptics to prototypes, as in ProtoPie. Here’s a doc by Apple for playing haptics: Playing haptics | Apple Developer Documentation

I am so excited about Jams. I am just getting my team started on Figma but first I need to migrate over 5 years of work from Sketch, Abstract, Whimsical and InVision. My team heavily uses InVision boards to hold all of our inspiration and competitive research including a large amount of recordings we converted to GIFs to capture workflows and micro-interactions. FigJam seems like it would be a great home for all of our InVision board content and future competitive research except for the fact that like in the Figma designer, GIFs don’t animate. Please tell me this is in the works! Please?

Hello! Perhaps it will be convenient for many to create categories in the plugins section. And in the community, plugins are also divided into categories. When posting a plugin in a community, be sure to select one of the categories.

Adding auto layout should not change the child’s auto layout settings. When applying auto layout to a parent, the settings of the child’s auto layout width changes for example from fixed to fill, or in some cases from fill to hug. Therefore I have to adjust every child and child’s child again to have things work like I wanted in the beginning. This is a super annoying and frustrating feature. Keep the child’s settings as they are when adding auto layout to the parent.

When showing files in list view, I want to see more meta data for the files. who created the file who did the last edit who has access implemented libraries components in this file … and so on Also I want to configure which meta data I can see, just as in any other table or list view.
