Set scroll state of frame with overflowing content

Very often I do not want to share a prototype but I want to visualize how a list reacts when scrolling or I want to show a list element beyond the fold. Therefore it would be absolutely handy if I could set the scroll state of a frame that is clipping content. For example setting the y scroll state to 50%. This would help me visualize my ideas right away without settings up a prototype and instructing the viewer what to do to see the result. A workaround is currently to set up a scroll container frame, put a content frame inside and move the content frame. But that is not possible when I use an instance of a component and that is the case most of the time. Thanks for reading, Tobias

Toggle to prevent interactions behind elements

There should be a checkbox or something to prevent interactions behind elements. For example if I have a modal popping up I don’t want to trigger any interactions behind the modal.

An idea bulb stamp in Figjam

Love using the stamps. Especially now that they can move around with the sticky note that I put it one. I’d love to have one with an Idea bulb. I place around a lot of stickies with ideas, questions, and notes when mapping out a user flow. For questions I already have a stamp, would love an idea one as well to distinguish it from the other notes.

Miro card equivalent

Would be great if FigJam had functionality equivalent to Miro’s card feature. Primary use case is to capture stories which can be maneuvered through a Kanban board Title and a few important item (e.g. owner / tags) are displayed on the top level visible from the board itself Expands to show additional details

Multiplayer freeze

I’m working as transparent as possible but having people seeing irl what I’m doing is sometimes detrimental. I was wondering if there’s a way to activate a multiplayer freeze for non-editors. If I activate multiplayer freezing it takes say a snapshot of my file the moment I activate it and displays this snapshot to non-editors. It allows me to continue working on the file while other people see the latest status that has been “approved” by me - namely the last snapshot. It also helps me keep my file clean since I wouldn’t have to create duplicate pages or separate sections for stakeholders, and allows me to also just have one link I can share with people. This of course would make sense the most for WIPs that are actively been worked on, let’s say quick turnaround projects where not only design teams are working on but need access to the latest designs. I haven’t given much of a thought about this 🤷🏼‍♂️ but it just came to me as I was working on a fil

Design a mind-map with additional features

I want to draw mind-maps with collapsible branches and that the arrows or lines connecting the different branches can be clicked on, and the user can be able to insert either an image, text, or a document that could be opened and closed when not needed.

Fix Position when scrolling for background (or any other layer not on top)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Background scrolls with other elements. When I set “Fix position when scrolling” it jump upper and overlap other elements. Goal Make background static when other elements can be scrolled on top of it. Solution Add 3rd tab of scrolling type in the next order: FIXED … SCROLLS … BACKGROUND or “BACK ELEMENTS” which is fixed but placed under the "SCROLLS’ layers. Thanks!

Parallax on scroll

Can we get an On Scroll feature, where by animations happen when you scroll. It is not the same as on drag. Parallax being an example of one.

Don't save blank new files

Small quality of life improvement: Don’t save blank new files. I’ll accidentally hit Cmd+N and then immediately close the tab before doing anything. I end up with a bunch of “Untitled” files that are blank. It’d be great if it didn’t save these blank files. Seems easy enough to delete files that are blank.

Selection Colors menu toggle and/or reorder menu position

I absolutely love the ‘Selection colors’ menu… but at times it can get in the way. I know you limit the amount of colors initially shown which helps— but could we maybe also add a toggle for the menu to collapse or show AND/OR move the menu maybe below ‘Effects’ menu or even below ‘Export’?

Create/Update Jira within Figma

Im Product Manager. My Designer writing some rules within the Figma I’m writing stories within Jira I copy past rules from Figma to Jira (+ additional rules) I then use the Jira link and Jira widget to add my Jira within the Figma closed to the UI Why can’t my designer directly create and update rules directly in Jira without leaving their Figma ?

Split-tabbing should be reworked or removed for Windows

I guess split-tabbing works great for Macs, but window-splitting is a default function for Windows. Figmas function is just repeating Windows’ functionality. It would be okay, if Figma’s was hidden somewhere behind the button or hotkey but it’s activated by dragging a tab. Dragging a tab always put in it a new window. It is so in all applications but apparently not Figma. Please: Add an option to turn off split-tabbing Optimize Figma for basic Windows functionality

HEX codes for sticky notes

I am planning a book, and each chapter has a set of sticky notes, which I sort by colour. But I need more colours in order to do this. So I suggest a HEX code selector or something similar.

Show when publishing (Bulk operation?)

Hello everybody, I have almost 8000 hidden components (they are without . or _ prefixes) in a library of almost 10000 components. Does someone know how to unhide them so that they appear in the shared library? For now I am right-clicking each hidden component and selecting ‘Show when publishing’, which takes 2-3 secs… So I hope to accomplish this task roughly in 5 hours, if I don’t take breaks…

Component prototype view

At this moment Figma can open only frame at prototype view. Sometimes my frame is an instance of component and i have a few or ten or hundred instances that i want to look at prototype, but to open it I have to create frame around the instance. And I think the better expirience to add possibility to open component or instance at the prototype view without creating frame around it

2D Auto layout

There is vertical and horizontal auto layout, but it would be nice to have 2D auto layout. I.e. aligned bottom right corner of first object to top left corner of the next. Sorry if there’s an easy way to accomplish this without a product change that I don’t know about 😓

Color Fill Component Properties for Text and Shapes (Variable Collection and/or Color Styles folder)

I have a set of color variables which I would like to use for text-- and then have the color variables available in the component’s Properties panel. The same question goes for a color fill on a shape. Use case: We have banners that need to be able to change text color between a set of pre-defined Color Variables. The text color is NOT the primary thing that differentiates these banners (so it doesn’t really make sense to make a dozen different Variants of the banner component based on text color), and we prefer not to have our designers ctrl+click on the text box and manually select the Color Variable. Anytime we have to manually select a Color Variable for an Instance, we have issues with the designers just typing in a HEX code or grabbing a similar-looking Color Style. We can kind-of solve this issue for Shapes by using a “cascading components” logic, where we make a “background color” rectangle component with a variant for each color, and then use an Instance of that component in o

Set video poster frames

Mentioned here as a question, but wanted to post as an idea in hopes it gets noticed again. Very simple, just the ability to set what static frame a video sits on while on the canvas. This is an option for GIF fills already, so it makes a lot of sense to make this possible for video fills as well. I’m 99% of the way to switching from Keynote to Figma for presenting ideas, but this is the one feature that’s keeping me in Keynote.

Show progress-bar when updating from Library

Currently I face the problem, that when i´m updating a file with recently changes from a Component Library File, i’m not getting any information about the Progress. The File remains blocked without any info whats happening. Would reccomend a Progress bar when i update the Components, that shows at least that some Action is happening. It’s kinda frustrating not knowing, if the System is blocked or how long it takes (simple UX Rule btw to give System-Feedback to the User). When i Publish changes, i see a Progress Info but when Updating nothing is shown

Payment on Pro plans not fully flexible between Figma and FigJam

So I recently started using the professional plan on Figma at my company and ran into problems with FigJam. I don’t understand why one can’t use FigJam even the free version because I’m on a professional plan with Figma? During payment I didn’t tick FigJam. I thought since I didn’t pay for the pro version for FigJam that I wouldn’t have access to the pro features but still be able to use FigJam starter version even if its one file or something cause I hardly use FigJam much. Please put a disclaimer or notification that tells the user that he will be charged cause the FigJam available now has pro features along the professional plan…if he didn’t actually pay for FigJam during payment. It’s not clear especially for new pro users dipping their toes. If not this could be considered a deceptive pattern! And I don’t see the reason why we can’t be able to still have the FigJam starter package even. cause I have to maybe use my personal account for FigJam if I ever want to or go to some other

Numbers: bulk renaming vs. duplicating

Bulk renaming gives a different (01) number naming convention than duplicating screens (1) Using the number function in the bulk renaming modal gives you a number that starts with (for example) 01. If I then duplicate the page to get the second step of my process in it gives me the number 2 as opposed to 02. I don’t mind either, but I’d very much like for either to adhere to the rest.

Embed spacing, text styles and code views

Whilst it’s great you can embed or link to components in platforms such as Jira, Confluence and Storybook it would also be helpful to show information on a components spacing, text styles and code views as well. For example copying a component frame url and embedding this in Confluence produces the following view: It would be great if you could also copy a url (maybe when in dev mode) and embed views of the spacing, text styles and code as well. Another option would be to have access to spacing, text styles and code within one embed url and view. However, having the option to separate out has its benefits. Being able to surface out spacing, text styles and code view would allow rich documentation to be created for teams that can be accessed outside of Figma. Figma would still be the single source of truth. At the moment there is the scenario where a developer may need to look at documentation on one platform and then have to dive into Figma to gain other information. Yes, you could ta

Click Interaction from Multiple Levels

What I’d like to do: Have a base level variant component, for example a checkbox with an on and off state. Have an upper (instance) level component that includes several instances of that base level component, ie.: a list of checkboxes, each of which can be clicked to change their own on and off state. In addition, I’d like to have a variable state associated with each of those individual instances, and be able to change that variable based on clicking that instance. For example: clicking on the instance increments (or decreases) the “total clicked” variable value to itself plus (or minus) one. Because a click interaction is set on both the base-level, and the instance-level, the instance level will override the base, and both cannot be triggered. Would love to have a future release that allows same interaction with different outcomes at different levels of the same component.

Comment an expression

I’m working on advanced prototyping and sometimes I want to overrule a a condition or an expression, I deleted then rewrite it. I can’t take as copy cause I have many expressions. So could be there any way to make a comment like in IDEs?

Documentation page type

When in a Figma file, I’d like to be able to add a new page that’s a documentation type rather than a design type. The format of the active space would be like word or google docs or something similar, but a document editor with pages and not a free zoom/scroll space. This would help centralize documentation for design systems as well as for product managers and developers to have a more familiar space to put documentation.
