Apple's Universal Linking implementation is a robust and easy to implement way to open Mac Apps instead of their Web App counterparts.It's absolutely annoying to open a Figma link from any other tool and having to first open Chrome + a new Tab that will have to be manually closed when we already have an alternative that works so well. Please consider adding Universal Links to Figma.Here are the blueprints from Apple:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-universal-links-in-your-app

Now that we have variables support for text styles, it’s taking a while to update all the properties to match text variables. It’d be really, really helpful to be able to apply variables to multiple text styles at once, by selecting all font styles that we want to apply a variable to and editing the property, since most of these are shared between different styles. With that feature, text migration to variables would be super easy and seamless.

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

I’ve been using the Figma’s AI lately and it’s super useful. A useful feature would be the ability to change the image aspect ratio. Currently it’s using the default size, so If I want to expand an image This is How I should do it: ​​​​​A feature like “Expand Image” or “select aspect” ratio in edit image toolbox would be so useful.

ngl, the new ui3 is pretty good. the only thing i dont like is the toolbar position. im still not used to it. maybe add an option to move it to the top?

It would be great to have a quick way to copy the hex codes of the library colours. At the moment it’s three steps (click the colour > filter icon > copy hex code. Be great if it could be one click, especially with having to check colours for accessibility regularly.

I find it really frustrating to have to either hold the space button or toggle between the hand tool to move around on my board. Can you please include an option to let us hold the right mouse button to hover and move around on the board?

When I create a template, the template should CLEAR the conversation thread for all users, including me, the owner. When creating a template, it would be nice to have a checkbox where I could say “clear conversation thread for everyone”.

Videos can autoplay once you’re on a slide instantly but doing multiple elements that sequentially animate seems to require two clicks to get the first element to animate and trigger the rest. It makes it tricky for presenting to know which slides are one click and which are two clicks. Please make it possible for first image element on page to auto appear (without using smart animate) and trigger the rest of the elements. 

My prototypes have a lot of animations which my Macbook Pro has no problem rendering when I present from my computer; however, many of my non-designer colleagues don’t have the same luxury of a good graphics card on their computers, causing my prototype to run very slowly when they ‘re demoing my prototype to other teams.  Rather than maintain two prototypes or worse, manually disable the transitions I set for my prototype and undo all the work I did so that it’s playable by under powered computers, it would be helpful to have a setting in presenter mode to toggle animations on and off. A good example would be like modern video game consoles having performance and fidelity modes. The former optimizes frame rate at the cost of fidelity, where the latter optimizes for resolution with a fixed lower frame rate. In the context of Figma, all animated transitions could be toggled to play as “instant” in “Performance” mode but could be easily turned back on to see the prototype as it was fully

My team needs to review all UI copy. That copy goes into a library so we can be consistent across the product. I’m trying to review and update the copy in Figma Make. However, it’s impossible to extract the reviewed copy so I can add it to the library. A separate file in code view would not only make it easier to review and make sure we haven’t missed anything (even if we then have to update the .tsx file also) but also have that record.

While working with complex prototypes, I see the following features are missing: Management of a local database for components. Copy/paste of created components (e.g., File.tsx) between pages. See all created pages and easily navigate between them. Identify where an element is a component versus hardcoded with the same appearance. Configure component properties.

I wish I could zoom the Figma UI without also zooming the canvas. That is all.

Hey there! 👋 It always has bothered me that Figma’s general UI is slightly too tiny / has very small font sizes and I hoped that View>Interface Scale would solve this issue. Figma’s small font size and icon size make it quite difficult to navigate through the app without having hawk eyes. Sometimes elements (especially in Effects menu) are small click targets. Scaling the Interface up seems like a good idea to counter this and improve readability and clickability. Unfortunately at this rate, it’s not a real solution for me. It is pretty much useless to me since it also scales your designs / the canvas. I’d like to scale the UI (Sidebars, Top Bar) only and keep my design canvas untouched to remain at an actual 100% scale. The current behaviour doesn’t make much sense to me. If I’m designing for example a screen at 1920px width I’d like to see an actual 1920px screen. My work depends on the canvas representing the pixels at 1:1 / @1x scale. Sure, a workaround could be to view

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

Not sure why it still doesn’t exist but another +1 to darkmode or background color picker for the figjam canvas - literally having to use other tools because of this simple feature - I dont’ want to have to use a plugin for this

Hi all,Have you considered adding a feature to the auto layout “gap” feature that could allow a user to set a minimum gap i.e. 8px and a maximum gap i.e. 40px?I’ve recently needed this function for building bar graphs. I need to make them responsive without getting too small and overlapping on each other or too big when expanded.

So If text overflows from one, it can show up in another textbox. This would be useful for two-column/grid composition and responsive layouts.

Hi Figma Team, I would love to have an option to collapse variable groups in the variable modal. Problem: Every time I’m opening the variable modal, each group is being expanded. Having a lot of component tokens as variables, this means either: Collapsing each group manually, until I get to the desired variable group. Or scrolling a looong way down until I reach the desired variable group. Solution: A) By default variable groups should be collapsed, not expanded B) A shortcut to collapse all groups

The absent ability to add a master slide, page numeration and even components inside Figma Slides is a reason why my clients could refuse to make a transit from power point to Figma slides. And it is upsetting.

I know this issue has been raised many times here in the forums but I’m raising it again as I believe it is an important issue that needs to be addressed. And the fix for this issue would be very easy for Figma to implement. I consistently run into issues where colleagues will click on my avatar in Figma and follow me around the canvas and then leave it on for the whole day. Figma doesn’t even alert the user that they are being followed around the canvas which is incredibly frustrating. And there is no way to remove people from following your cursor around a Figma document. Previously, I could quit Figma and it would remove any followers but even after opening Figma again, the followers are still following me around the canvas. All I’m proposing is a small feature that would give users the ability to either “accept” or “decline” followers in a Figma document along with the ability to  “Allow any user to follow” for the instances where you are presenting to large groups of people and yo

Since a recent release we can already do some text style overrides. While maintaining the connection to a text style we can bold, italic and underline by using keyboard shortcuts. Example in UI where I made a part bold: Is there any change we can get the same feature for subscript and superscript? This would enable us to maintain the text style, while entering formulas like: Currently I have to disconnect the text style and then change the position. Which also isn’t the easiest feature to find. This probably also requires putting making something sub- or superscript under some kind of keyboard shortcut, it currently isn’t: Note that there is no problem using m³ for example, because I can just enter these as characters using my compose key (on Linux).

Proponho a implementação de suporte a Markdown nas propriedades de texto dos componentes no Figma. Essa funcionalidade permitiria aplicar formatação tipográfica de forma declarativa e padronizada diretamente no conteúdo textual (ex.: **bold**, _italic_, # Heading). Além de reduzir a dependência de estilos manuais, isso facilitaria a prototipagem de conteúdos dinâmicos e a integração com sistemas de design tokens. O parser de Markdown poderia ser implementado como uma camada de pré-processamento antes da renderização, garantindo consistência entre documentação, prototipação e handoff para engenharia.

I use nested auto layouts for my tables: The table is an auto layout containing columns, and each column is an auto layout containing cells. I want my table to be responsive, so I set all columns to hug, except the last column, which is set to fill, so that the table spans the whole width of its container. But in smaller screen sizes, if the screen width goes below a certain number, the last column gets clipped/truncated as it’s on ‘fill’. So I set a min-width to ensure it is not clipped. But, right now I need to hard-code the min width. It would be ideal to set the min width to ‘hug’, so that I don’t need to hard-code it or change it every time I update the contents of the last column.

There are times I want to have Figma Make use csv or json files for data retrieval. Currently, the AI has to build a UI component in the preview window to allow this to happen. I should be able to upload files in the chatbox.
