Increase "Tidy up" limit

I’m trying to make layers tidy, and when the layers count is more than 99, tidy becomes disabled.

Why change the default tab under search to be 'Plugin'?

Recently I found it super annoying that the default tab under ‘Search all resources’ changed to ‘Plugins’ instead of ‘Component’. The previous default ‘Component’ works the best for me and all my colleagues. Please at least allow us to set it as my preference. I hate it so much that I got to do the extra click to change the tab. 💢

Quick Search in Community shortcut would save time

Often I am quick searching a plugin but do not have it installed. It would save time to run my search in the Community.

Reach search in libraries

Hello. I have an idea for a library search. So that there is a richer issue, and not just letter for letter. If I want to find gray-8, it’s much faster for me to write “gr8” and selected gray-8 in search result.

View/edit code and design in one view

In the new version, the right panel is divided into design and code. I think this is a very unnecessary update. In the past, you could handle both code and design in a single panel. When you switch to the code section, the tools for design disappear. Constantly changing it makes my job very difficult. Can I revert to the old version?

Add a "Back" and "Forward" button into the Menu bar

I would love a back/forward button similar to Safari or Chrome where I can navigate through folders and files on the home page.

Dev Mode missing info (stroke width in the CSS, iOS, or Android sections)

Hi Figma, My team and I are enjoying using Figma’s Dev Mode. Thank you for providing such amazing features. However, we have a feedback for you regarding this mode. As you can see in the picture, the stroke width of this component is set at 4px. Yet, when we switch to the “Dev Mode,” we don’t see any information about the stroke width in the CSS, iOS, or Android sections. Has anyone else faced this challenge with their teams? If so, how did you solve it? Best regards, Sahar

Rearrange actions within a prototype interaction

Now that we can add multiple actions to a prototype interaction (i.e. I click this and x,y,z happen), it would nice to be able to reorder those actions. As Dylan Field mentioned in the Config Keynote, the order determines how these actions are executed. Once you have actions x,y, and z, it would be nice to be able to drag and drop them to rearrange them to y,x,z for example. I’m surprised no one has suggested this yet, I searched for an existing request but couldn’t find one.

Frames > Section > Independent Prototype Settings

2023-08-09T04:00:00Z I organize my Figma projects based on features and my pages based on user stories. Each page within my design file is linked to a specific user story. I create frames for every requirement within the story for desktop, tablet, and mobile views. When it comes time to share a prototype, I can only select one device type for the whole page. For easier management of the page, I group my frames into sections based on device type. I need a way to share multiple prototype links, each with their own prototype device settings.

Users notified of library updates before publishing has finished

Hi, I work on a multibrand design system which has separate style, component and asset libraries for each brand. We have published a few releases to all our supported brands recently and noticed in testing that when we hit publish, users get the pop-up in the bottom right of files that consume the styles/components before the libraries have finished publishing. This has meant that rather than the entire release being stacked up before a user accepts it, there is the possibility that they are receiving only part of the update, which is obviously undesirable. For context, the ‘user’ in this case was a colleague who is also part of the same Figma team that was on a call with me as I was publishing for test purposes. We were publishing a large update that affected separate system Style and Component files, so users needed to wait for the Component publish to be complete before accepting the Styles one, which was specified in the release notes for each. When the pop-up appears, the user see

Confirmation dialog when deleting files

When deleting files from projects, Figma doesn’t show a confirmation dialog, making it too easy. It’s even possible to mistap the Delete/Backspace key in the keyboard and the file gets deleted without confirmation. When deleting the file when it’s open, from its own central menu, a confirmation modal appears, this can be used in other instances as well. Given that deleting a file is a disruptive action for most organisations and professionals, please add a confirmation modal whenever a user deletes a file, wherever in the app.

Update and Publish related libraries

Instead of one giant library file, we break down our components into several files which all inherit from Core library. When publishing this Core library, it’s a manual process to update and publish all the other related library files. Suggestion: Add a secondary step to publishing with a list of all the published libraries that inherit from the one you’re currently in. Select the ones you want to auto-update and publish.

Flyout Menus

With the latest update, the flyout menu for prototype wires now hovers inside the workspace. This dialogue box gets in the way when trying to select multiple wires. Please revert this menu to appear in the right sidebar so the user doesn’t have to continually move the window around to see the frames underneath.

Switch to Enable / Disable the interactive components per instance

Hello, I am working on a Design System and now I am adopting the interactive components. They look promising, but there is one feature that is missing. I was so excited and started adding interactions to all the bread and butter controls - buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, switches, lists…etc., but then I figured out that usually, the prototypes are representing a few use-cases and not all controls are clickable. So I was wondering whether there is a plan to add a switch on the component level that enables or disables the interactiveness.

Option to show a "ghost" version of comments on other component instances, upstream and downstream

the big need I have is that I want to keep context of comments placed on downstream child components when I’m viewing and editing a master / parent component. another cool thing could be is if I add a comment to a master component, this special mode of a comment could show up on all downstream child components, which would allow me to question whether the comment still applies in all situations, of if perhaps the comment overlooked some edge case. EDIT: this should also take into account variants. If I comment on a component variant, it should appear on the correct variant.

Export the code of the animated interactions in the prototypes

Hi everybody, I have a suggestion for a ‘developer oriented feature’ to add in FIGMA. As for now it doesn’t exists, there is something we would appreciate I think : Having an option to export the animated interactions settings (with all the ease settings and so on…) we made in the “prototype” section of Figma… I mean through SVG + CSS with @keyframes, JQUERY or anything else ! It’s too bad to have to recreate in HTML, JS etc… all the stuff out of Figma. We would love using this feature to be more efficient and getting a better productivity in our pipeline of production! In one word : “Once we have validated our Figma animated designs, we want to be able to export the code applied for this animate part of the prototype” Thank you very much, Best Regards, Robin

Disable Effects in the Export Menu

Currently, an image with an effect, like a drop shadow, is exported with that effect. If a developer wants the image without the shadow, to add with CSS separately, they must disable it in the design, export, then turn it back on. This is cumbersome and prone to error. Instead, there should be another checkbox in the export menu allowing this to be done there, without altering the design.

Hidden Scroll Bar Accidentally Activates When Clicking Layers

Layers already stack in a way that forces you to expand that pane a lot just to see what you’re looking at. Now, I have to worry about having extra space because the invisible scrollbar might activate if I hit a layer stacked in a half-dozen layers trying to hit the show/hide icon, thinking I have room, but oh no, there’s the scrollbar. Then, of course, because there’s no way to properly search for hidden layers, I have to go search for it manually again. Can we fix this, please?

Pop up a contextual menu when clicking on an object

Command-clicking on an object name in the layers menu brings up the contextual menu - copy, rename, create component, etc… Why not apply this behavior to the object itself, on the artboard?

Interactions popup - Hierarchy is hard to understand

I feel like this modal could really do with some icons and work on the hierarchy to make it easier to quickly use - its so low contrast and everything looks the same. I’ve used it thousands of times (the pop up from the sidebar before it was this popup on the canvas) and do something wrong pretty much every time More specifically ‘On Click’ looks like the title of the popup and I click ‘Change to’ almost every time when I want to change it to e.g. Hover but I think the whole thing could do with a rethink especially when there is so much space (since the popup is so tiny) to work with in adding labels, icons, etc!
