"Invalid Instances" discoverability is bad - Improve the experience

I wasn’t able to understand why my critical component didn’t publish. When I decided to look into the problem I discovered Figma: Doesnt allow you to Publish things with unused instances anymore I have a futureproof instances I can use when needed. Why cant they just hang around? Has a very bad UI/UX for telling user about it. First of all why show this, if it can’t be published: Second of all why Invalid instances look like a header here (and why collapsed by default???) Why can’t it at least expand if I try to publish bad component?

Enlarge canvas/artboard from within

Sometimes you need more space within an artboard, but you have elements above/under/to the sides and you want to create more space by enlarging the canvas while pushing the rest of the elements to one side. Normally you would have to enlarge the artboard, select everything, move it and then continue editing, but that is a hassle.

Push feature that opens space between elements

Sometimes your FigJam gets cluttered with shapes, stickies or images, and you want to create some space. Normally you would have to select everything and move it to one side. It would be great to have push feature that would push all the elements to one side and open space.

Home Page Sidebar full view and sort

I use the home page left sidebar to organize files and access them quickly (and it’s very helpful for that). However, I think it would be even better with a few feature additions: I treat my sidebar lists as personal folders that improve my efficiency, whereas my team as a whole has its own system of organization for files in projects to ensure that all stakeholders can navigate easily to the right files. I would love to be able to click into a sidebar list and view its contents in full page mode in the same way that you can click into projects and view their contents. Pinning could function in the same way it does in projects, but pinned items could also be displayed as pins at the top of a list in the sidebar. This would allow me to treat a sidebar list as a project without impacting the organization system that others on my team see and use. It would also be very helpful to have the ability to sort (in both the sidebar view and the full view detailed above) sidebar contents by rece

Exploring Flexible Line-Height in Our Design System

Hey Figma Community! I wanted to share a challenge we’re currently facing in our design system: line-height flexibility. Our typography setups have served us well, but they’re starting to feel a bit rigid in certain design contexts. After some brainstorming and debates, I’ve been contemplating a solution: introducing line-height variables. This idea draws inspiration from frameworks like tailwindcss, which offer classes like tight, snug, normal, relaxed, etc., allowing developers to adjust line-height dynamically based on the class applied. Implementing line-height variables could offer the flexibility we need without cluttering our typography styles library. It’s a way to provide designers with more control without overwhelming them with excessive options. However, I’m also open to exploring alternative approaches. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how we could tackle this challenge together. Looking forward to your insights.

Higher memory usage limit

Higher memory usage limit would be useful when working with huge design files and with huge design system libraries imported. We are currently having issues with this specific situation.

希望自适应填充模式下，增加百分比的宽度、高度控制。

我经常在做后台管理系统，自己创作了一套组件。 但是会遇到一些让我头疼的问题： 1、我希望表单面板分3列，每个小的表单组件占用1个位置，而右侧一般为我的说明位置； 2、有些比较大的组件可能需要2列位置，如果我想创建两个自适应组件，他们会平分。但是我无法控制它的宽度占用2/3的空间，另外一个控制在1/3的空间。如果我设定了一个固定值，那么它便不能自动适应。 所以我希望能够自适应面板中，内容在填充状态下，尺寸可以增加比例的控制，我想代码层面也是自持比例控制的。

Add Outline and Outline Offset (like in CSS)

Would love to have the ability to apply outlines and outline offsets that will not mess up my alignement. Similar to how it’s done on CSS. For example if I have a button that I want to design a focused state for I currently have no simple way to do it (I have to nest it in several layers and again the padding will remain) Moving from “stroke” to “borders” and “outlines” is a lot better in my opinion

Localized invoice currency exchange rate

Hi there, Is there a possibility for the monthly or quarterly invoices to have an exchanged rate pricing on the invoice as this will reflect a more realistic figure for the accountant at the time of conversion. I’ve attached an example of my Adobe Creative Invoice with a local currency exchange rate as well. The currency I need to be converted for example is South Africa’s “ZAR” Feedback on this matter will be highly appreciated. Kind regards

Manage dev-mode as team owner

With the new dev-mode, a new permission has been introduced. But unlike the other permissions, this one is not manageable by the team/file owner. This is very annoying as in our company of 50+ designers and hundreds of viewers, admins can not keep the overview of each single individual user. My expectation would be to have an entry “dev-mode” in the team member permissions table:

Support customize cursor designed by user

I real like the new feature that user can select different style of cursor. But is it possible that user can design their own cursor? For a case, our team has a mascot, and we much like it can be our designer’s cursor.

Wireframe View toggle

There should be a toggle-activated “wireframe view”, allowing us to select a frame, toggle it and see it as a wireframe. That would mean Figma would intelligently analise the content of the frame, changing the aspect of its objects. For example: Imagine a simple hero section from a landing page, with the logo on the top-left corner, some options on a navigation bar, an image in the background, some centralized body of text with a title and some short-to-medium text. Right below, there’s a button with a text on it. Toggling “wireframe view” using a shortcut, would allow the user to see every element I mentioned before in a simpler way. Texts could be replaced by boxes, text on buttons could disappear, leaving only the fill, images would display a placeholder image, so on and so on. This could be made using the objects as a reference and taking their properties and changing them in the back-end, switching the fill and transparency from texts to blank filled rectangles, and so on. I think

FigJam: Keep order of layers as they are when copying and pasting

I’ve noticed that when I copy and paste a combination of ungrouped objects, they are pasted in the order that I clicked each object before pressing Ctrl+C, rather than in the order that they were. This is super frustrating - and doesn’t make any sense to me. Not sure if this is super clear so just an example: If a star was on top of a circle, but I clicked the circle and then the star (in that order) before typing Ctrl+C, when I paste, it would put the circle on top of the star, even if the objects were not in that order originally…

Allow users to move the layers panel to the right side

For many years, I’ve been working as a designer, accumulating over 10 years of experience using almost all Adobe products. Now, I’ve transitioned to Figma, as it’s an excellent tool not only for prototyping but much more. I’ve encountered an issue that might be of concern not just to me, but to others as well. Specifically, it’s about the placement of the two most important panels, namely the “Layers” and “Properties” panels, on opposite sides of the screen. I have a 34-inch monitor, and Figma is open in full-screen mode. However, when I need to perform actions on a specific set of layers, I find myself moving the cursor across the vast screen from left to right. Now, imagine needing to perform 10 or more consecutive actions like this. A significant portion of time is spent simply moving the cursor back and forth across the screen, along with the physical strain of repeatedly shifting focus and aiming at small buttons. It’s an ordeal and a waste of time on unnecessary actions. The solu

Show in Enclosing Project option

I often receive links to Figma files in Slack that I want to star (not pin) so I can close the tab but still reference it later. It would be helpful in the contextual menu when right-clicking a tab to have an option to “Show in Enclosing Project.”

Filter only mentions from notifications

It would be great to filter out only mentions from all notifications. I know there’s a setting to only receive notifications about mentions. But until that’s done, user gets all notifs. Would be great to filter by mention, file, project…

Adding code and textfield to Figma

I think that Figma should add a way to code so you can do more thing. Like javascript would be a good coding language that they could add, this could make it so you can do more stuff with what you making like: adding text to a textbox, having buttons change something about the same component, or changing which way a textbox is centered. I was just saying some random example, but with code it would allow you to make way cooler prototypes. Also it would be cool for Figma to add textfeilds because you could use that with the code to make a working search box for example.

Canvas Stacking Ui Update

Hi Figma Is it possible to revise the UI of the Canvas Stacking option? It seems not very intuitive for it to be hidden behind the Auto Layout UI. Instead, it should be integrated into the Auto Layout option panel, given it plays such a significant role in controlling Auto Layout.

Avoid accidentally closing the mac desktop app

Please could we have a “warn before quitting” feature on the Figma desktop app? Since Cmd+Q closes apps on macOS I’ve found myself accidentally closing Figma one too many times recently. Chrome has this feature working and it would be nice to have it on Figma as well, thanks!Techbout – 3 Jul 17

Feature Request - Google Lense

As a user on an organization plan in Figma, my teammates and I are always having issues finding / sorting through hundreds if not thousands of internal Figma files to find what we’re looking for. We were discussing how helpful it would be if Figma had a feature, similar to Google Lense technology, where you could upload an image of the frame / component you’re looking for, and Figma could provide you with the files that match that are using that frame / component.
