Suggest a Feature

We have a lot of components in our design system (surprise surprise lol), and due to fuzzy matching, everything including the kitchen sink gets returned when search for a specific component. I could work around this if we had exact matching or must include matching, but that doesn’t seem possible either. For example, I’d love to prefix certain components for easier access: Icons: ^ Home OS UI: iOS Status bar

Idea: Add images and set it as thumbnails (not cover for the file). Allow click on an image to expand/see in full size (perhaps in a modal). Use case: When I need to make app flows, I find flowcharts better than a sequence of screenshots because it is easier to read the flow itself. So I would like to attach screenshot as examples for each different view. However, screenshots takes too much space in a readable size, especially tablet and desktop sizes. Small image thumbnails with click to expand ability would be enough for viewers to get context when needed when reading the flows. What do you think?

I do a lot of presentations in Figma, and usually those PDFs are over 300+ Mb and tough to share. The feature that came in handy is rasterizing selections which can do wonders for file storage. But using it is a real pain. If you have a pres with 50+ slides you have to click manually for every slide choose from dropdown, rince and repeat… the new ui didn’t help with it either. inb4 why dont you add a custom shortcut bla bla bla Navigate to: System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > click “+” Select Application: “Figma.app”

It would be super helpful formatting and hyperlinking could be retained when copying and pasting component properties!

It would be great if component set bounding boxes (purple dotted border) auto-sized when the border is double-clicked, similar to how Sections auto-size to it’s contents when the edge is double-clicked.

In UI3 the clip content function is now a dropdown rather than a checkbox. Seems like an unnecessary extra click that is hidden in a dropdown rather than a simple checkbox toggle. Wondering why this was changed

When I edit code syntax for variables, I want to set default value based on the current layer For Example， I have a blue-1 variable, when I change to dev mode, I want this code syntax change to: var(blue-1, #e6f4ff) for Light mode; var(blue-1, #111a2c) for Dark mode How I can achieve this ? Is there any api to get the current mode value ? Thanks

It is necessary to add the function of setting center anchors. Although plugins can be used for batch copying and rotation, it is more troublesome to modify joints and other areas during character illustration without the freedom of center anchors.

Would be awesome if we could add a “button / link” or even a component in the document body, which could start a plugin directly, as a shortcut.

I use the ‘Swap instance’ feature a lot but it’s really difficult to see what I’m actually swapping to given how small the box is. Different components/icons can look very similar when they’re squeezed down to fit. Can this window be made larger or resizable with the component previews scaling inside? Seems like a small change but would make thing sooooo much easier and save me going in and out trying to find the right component/icon.

So I like to use tables inside my FigJam file to track work that I’ve done on a project. I have a list of things to do inside a cell in the table, and I use the “thumbs-up” sticker to mark that things are done. But if I later add rows to the table, the stickers I’ve placed on the table shift down to keep their position relative to the dimensions of the entire table. I think a better behaviour would be for stickers to keep their position relative to the cell of the table they’ve been placed on, similar to how they try to stick to the edge of a sticky note.

It would be great if Figma for Mac matched the MacOS pattern of having the close icon on the left of the tab title. Doing so would help to close multiple tabs by clicking repeatedly rather than having to adjust your cursor depending on the text length.

Testing prototypes often requires opening up access to a Figma prototype. Sharing prototypes outside of our org presents a vulnerability and introduces risk. If designers could use timed access to view prototypes, it would reduce this risk significantly. What this could look like… 24hr access (similar to FigJam but for viewers, not editors) Set periods of access – 24hrs, 1 week, etc. Allow the designer to specify how long access will be open Allow org admins to apply timed access as a rule, for viewers outside of the org

Figma supports setting comment notification preferences at the File level: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039813234-Manage-your-notification-preferences#:~:text=the%20following events%3A-,File%20comments,-All%20comments%20on It would be nice to extend this functionality to the Page level (within a File).

Hi Figma Community, 👋 I’ve noticed an area for improvement in the way comments are sorted in Figma. Currently, comments are displayed based on the date of the first comment within the thread, not the date of the latest comment. This can make it challenging to follow ongoing discussions or see the most recent feedback, especially in active projects. While I appreciate the blue marker for new comments and the “sort by unread” filter, these options become less useful once comments are read. It would be incredibly helpful to have a sorting option as an additional filter that considers the date of the latest comment within a thread, allowing users to easily access the most recent discussions. I believe this enhancement would streamline the review process and improve communication within teams. Looking forward to hearing thoughts from the community and the Figma team!

When I add a prototype to a slide, it’s automatically placed in the center. If I want to move it (prototype without frame), I can’t, it interacts with the prototype, even in design mode. Instead I have to select another object and use the alignment options to move it. If I want to mask the prototype or adjust the cropping so that it fits within the phone, I can’t. Also moving it to the bottom in layers, doesn’t seem to work. It always stays on top. Anyone having the same issues?

Figma should have a feature where, when we zoom in, we should be able to zoom in to the cursor location, not to the centre. AutoCad does have this feature for instance.

I use a few plugins very often. The new UI has added an extra click to reach to the desired plugin. It will be very helpful if there is an ability to add a few plugins in the bottom toolbar (just like MacOS dock)

I saw sometime Figma lags on dragging the canvas as compared to Miro or Adobe XD canvas im not saying here XD is better… but just this small enhancement maybe can enhance help designers to peek on page canvas faster.

Hello, I will mention the problem to solve, then I will explain how my idea could solve it. Please vote for it if you need it as well, thanks. 1) The problem to be solved The precise Creation Date of a file is a key information for many users. It is not easy to find, and not available for every plans… Currently, the only way to find it is through the “History version”: The mental model of the user has to be “Thinking: Past version” instead of “Thinking: Metadata of the file”, which is an incoherent mental model for many users. Because, if the creation date is indeed a past version, it is actually the pillar version, not just a past version. This model is incoherent with many users’ habits as well, because a lot of softwares and OS include the Creation Date in basic metadata, often under the same Properties menu than “Author”, “Modified D

The REST API provides information on the current prototype device, as seen here. However, the Plugin API has no such equivalent way to access this data.

Figma needs to implement a way to record your prototype right within the platform. I “Shift + Command + 5” to record the prototype, but I then deal with the cursor being displayed. I went as far as downloading a plugin to hide my cursor, but try navigating without a cursor for a video lol its hard! Seems like a simple implementation that would really help designers. Cheers

It is a advice for UI3. I like the “Minimize UI” feature in UI3, cause I am used to use keyboard shortcut so I think neat interface is important. But I think It can be better, when I try to set a hidden layer visible, I still need to show layers panel, select the layer and un-invisible it. I wish left panel can be more like right panel, when I select a layer, it will show brother and children layers, and auto-hide when I de-select it.

With the update the Height and width of elements is difficult to find as sometimes it only shows “Fill” instead of the actual height which is still necessary for creating components. Can be specially important for accessibility minimums
