The new sidebar takes up valuable horizontal space, only to display a few links that can be moved elsewhere. How can we hide this? Or collapse it into the Figma button, instead of using 100 pixels just for 6 links, 4 of them who already existed somewhere else before anyway?  

Problem: There is currently no Plugin API to enumerate all connected/enabled libraries of a file, nor to list the styles (paint, text, effect) published by a connected library. The only library discovery surface is teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync(), which returns variable collections but nothing about styles.Current workarounds and why they fail: Scanning the document for remote style IDs — You can walk every node across all pages, collect fillStyleId, strokeStyleId, textStyleId, effectStyleId, check style.remote, and group by the file key embedded in the style ID (S:<fileKey>,…). This is extremely slow on large files (thousands of nodes across many pages), incomplete (only finds styles actually in use, not the full library), and fragile (relies on internal ID format for grouping). getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync() — Returns LibraryVariableCollection[] with libraryName, which lets you discover library names and their variable collections. But

Similar functionality to AE, and also Figma’s native Sweep functionality with Ellipses, the ability to trim any path’s Start and/or End points would allow for more optimized design and prototyping. Some examples: Elegant design/prototyping of custom bar and line charts as well as interactive sliders (RN my adjustable horizontal charts and sliders components are leveraging AutoLayout right padding to adjust a stroke set to Fill) More advanced/custom loader animations Easily make drawn path animations

Hi Figma team and community,This is related to a similar issue reported here:MCP rate limit not acknowledging subscription I'd like to suggest an improvement to the error messaging around API and MCP access for Dev seat users.Current situation:When a Dev seat user tries to access a Figma project via the API or MCP without having edit permission granted at the project level, they receive this error:> "You've reached the Figma MCP tool call limit for your View seat on the Professional plan. Upgrade your seat or plan for more tool calls."This is misleading in two ways:1. The user already has a Dev seat — not a View seat.2. Upgrading the plan is not the fix. The actual issue is that edit permission hasn't been granted for that specific project. There is also a conceptual confusion worth addressing: Dev seat users do not have edit access to projects by design, which makes it counterintuitive that they need to be granted edit permission by the project owner in order for API/MCP access to

Prototyping a circle progress ring based on variable set would allow for significantly simpler and native prototyping and managment. RN I have a progress ring component with 25+ variants progressing based on a Day variable that then does a Change To to transition to the right one, but this is cumbersome to maintain as each variant requires all the conditional logic to possibly switch to any other given variant. If I could apply a variable to the Sweep then I could then progress the Sweep variable in relation to the Day variable on just 1 Ellipse, and manage only 1 set of conditionals applied to it.

As teams and design systems scale, finding the right Figma file becomes a major bottleneck. Many of us manage hundreds of cross-functional projects, and the current dashboard limits our ability to organize and locate our work efficiently.To make it easy to see what needs to change, here is a breakdown of the three major file management limitations we face daily, our frustrating workarounds, and the proposed solutions: Feature Request The Figma Limitation The Frustrating Workaround The Proposed Solution 1. Native, Searchable Tags No way to categorize or add custom metadata to Figma files. Cramming categories, client names, and Jira codes into the title, cluttering the dashboard. Introduce a native tagging system to filter files by status, team, or tracking codes. 2. Quoted Search Terms Search splits words by hyphens (e.g., PROJECT-123 becomes PROJECT and 123). Quotes are ignored. Sifting through dozens of irrelevant search results that share common prefixes or nu

When applying a text string variable to a text layer, it’s not possible to search for a text string by content, only by its name. This is rather inconvenient for the localization plugin we’re using, which gives each string variable an inscrutable number for a name. Here I am searching for “smith” in this panel and getting no results, even though we have variables that contain the text “smith.”  The good news is that if I open the variables panel, the search field there is able to search for string content in the various modes. It would just be great if the little “apply variable” panel could as well!  

The animation capabilities are absolutely fantastic, especially being able to export as an animated SVG. It would be ideal if we could export as a MOV file because videos with transparent backgrounds mean we can create lower thirds and multiple different video assets. It would prevent us having to use After Effects or any other video tool 

Favourite fonts will be shown on top of the list, while the rest of it will be shown below the favourite list. We should also be able to remove and add while viewing the fonts on the font list.

Get paid templates of figma and framer for free with this method ‼️ You could also with this clone any website design and import it into figma — there is the method : 1) Go to the framer marketplace or figma marketplace and search the template that you want and then click on the preview link and get redirect in a new browser tab who will open the preview of the website; 2) Copy that preview link and go to this website www.uploop.space and paste the preview link on that website. Then launch the process and click on the bouton "Export to figma"; 3) When the process is over, you'll get an portable svg file who is the website pixel perfect that you want to clone with exact fonts, sections and all the entire website ready to be redesigned as your wishes. Bonus: If you want to retake that pixel perfect clone and import it to framer again, you'll just need to use de figma plugin on framer to import it. Note: It's works well on any framer/figma websites templates (paids or none) . You could ne

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.

It is a reasonable request.

hi Figma, i need your magic. I require both a maximum and minimum character limit for the text property. This will allow me to establish clear guidelines for UX writers, ensuring that their content fits within the designated character limits and maintains a tidy design and layout.

It would be great to have the option to share plugins created with the agent across the organization in order to standardize workflows and methodologies.

Hi, We’re trying to export some assets from Figma (either JPEG or PNG) is fine, but running into some issues with resolution. If we export at 1x, the image is low quality… however, if we export at 2x it doubles the dimensions of the image itself (for most ad platforms this is fine, but this time we need it in the exact dimensions) I’ve tried exporting at 2x and scaling down using other online tools, but the assets then become low quality again. Anyone else had this issue / managed to solve it?

Hello,I am looking to create a good hero section for my site, where it should take the height of browser in the first fold. The subsequent sections can be of fixed heights based on content. I need something like 100vh to have for my hero section.

ProblemWhen a vertically scrollable frame is nested inside another vertically scrollable frame, scrolling works inside the child until it reaches its top or bottom edge — at which point the scroll locks in place. The remaining scroll input is never passed to the parent frame, so the user has to physically move their cursor outside the child frame to continue scrolling the page.Current behaviorScroll input is captured entirely by whichever scroll container the cursor is over. When that container hits its limit, the input stops there and does not propagate.Expected behaviorMatch how browsers handle nested scroll containers by default: once a child scroll region reaches its edge, the leftover scroll should "chain" up to the parent, letting the user keep scrolling the page in one continuous gesture without repositioning the cursor.Proposed solutionAdd a scroll-chaining option to the Overflow settings on the Prototype tab — equivalent to CSS overscroll-behavior. Ideally with two modes:Chain

💡 [IMPORTANT] Feedback: Support for Relative Units (%, em, rem) for VariableWhile we are on the topic of variables, we desperately need support for relative units in number/dimension variables.• The Suggestion: Please allow us to input values using percentages (%), em, rem, or other responsive CSS units not just absolute pixels (px).• The Impact: Modern web design relies heavily on fluid typography and relative spacing. Having to calculate and hardcode everything in pixels limits the true power of Figma variables for front-end handoff.Please look into these issues, especially the spacing regression in the latest UI.Thank you!

The process for publishing and updating is bizarrely clunky for such an integral tool. It seems like no big deal until you’ve got a very big project that lasts for months. The time spent farting around in menus, when there could simply be a button, is just a waste. There’s also a lot of opportunity for mistakes when you think you may have accepted a small update and have missed it, which happens over the life of a very long project, and leads to unnecessary frustration. It would be very helpful to have a button directly in the UI that is an easy single click to publish. Additionally, a little icon to the right of it that fills with color when a linked file has been updated, clearly indicating there’s an update to review, would make a world of difference. (Doesn’t have to be that, I just hate asking for change without offering ideas 🙂) The pop-up can still exist, but now we don’t need to travel so far to get to it. And again, that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve been working o

When a Text Style's font size is bound to a variable and made responsive via modes (e.g. mobile/desktop), the actual rendering on the canvas updates correctly for the active mode. However, the typography summary in the side panel and the Text Styles list keep showing the default mode's static number, not the active mode's value. Color variables display their variable name in the same panel, but font size stays a raw number. This asymmetry confuses teams during review. This isn't new. The same issue was reported in November 2024 and is still unresolved: https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/mobile-typography-size-showing-even-after-switching-mode-of-frame-to-desktop-19286 As explained in that thread, variables dynamically change a text style's visual representation but do not update the style's underlying metadata shown in the side panel. So this cannot be fixed through user settings — it's the product's current behavior, which is why a product improvement is needed. Current behav

Every time I search for something, All the top results are 6 years old and no longer have anything to do with how Figma works these days. with the rate at which new features are being released. I would like to sort the results by newest, so that I can actually find results that are relevant to the recent versions of Figma.

This feature enables users to directly extract and copy text from images (JPEG, PNG, etc.) within Figma. It utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to recognize and convert text within an image into editable text layers. This functionality enhances productivity by allowing designers to quickly integrate text data from visual assets without manual transcription. Use Cases: Efficient Workflow: Designers can seamlessly transfer text from mood boards, screenshots, and scanned documents into their designs. Accessibility Improvement: Extracting text from images and converting it into editable formats can help improve the accessibility of documents by allowing for easy adjustments to text size, color, and font, making it more readable. Error Reduction: Reduces transcription errors and saves time by automating the text digitization process. Implementation Suggestion: Integrate an OCR button within the image toolbar in Figma. Once an image is selected, users can click this bu

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

Figma motion does not currently have the ability to play and export video fills, so video objects are treated as static images. The ability to incorporate video objects into the timeline would be extremely helpful. Exposing the current frame of a video as a keyframeable property be a great solve. 

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.
