As a Solution Architect I would like to use Figma Jam for my project Architectural Diagrams but the Figma Jam doesn't currently support Bumped Arrows which is primary element of  standard sequence diagram.

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

Hi Community, We use Figma (iframe) embeds in our technical documentation extensively and we would like to enable our colleagues to leave comments via these embeddingss instead of visiting the design in a separate browser tab/ window. What’s the proper way to do that? thanks,

Hello Figma Team,My name is Faraz, and I am a UI/UX designer who frequently uses Figma for both design and animation. While I truly enjoy designing and animating in Figma, I often face challenges when developers request animations in GIF or video format with high resolution.Currently, Figma does not provide a direct option to export animations as high-quality GIFs. From a user’s perspective, this creates difficulties and forces us to rely on external tools such as Jitter or LottieFiles, which makes the workflow less efficient.I would like to request that Figma introduce an option to export animations directly as high-resolution GIFs. This feature would make Figma even more powerful and self-sufficient, eliminating the need for external animation tools and significantly improving collaboration between designers and developers.Thank you for considering my feedback.Best regards,Faraz

I would love to group Figma tabs and then relabel that grouping to keep my Figma organized across different clients. 

My team loves to brainstorm, and we do it by each jotting down our own ideas separately, and then revealing, sharing, and converging on those ideas when we’re done. We love tools like EasyRetro that let us hide our own cards until we’re ready for the big reveal, but it’s not as fun and visual as a product like FigJam. I’d love for us to be able to make sticky notes with the text hidden from my teammates, and then unhide the text on those sticky notes all at once when we’re done brainstorming

I think this annotation feature is great, but the documentation isn’t well written. It gives the impression that users with view-only access can see annotations, which is not the case. It would also be very useful to extend this feature to viewers such as PMs or clients, so I can easily show them how a button or function is supposed to work. 

Is it possible to specify an objects center of rotation. I cant for the life of me find it anywhere. You could do this relatively easy in sketch.

DescriptionI work on a Microsoft Surface, and there are many Windows 11 and Windows 10 touch devices with a pen. The pen has two primary inputs. Writing and erasing. You also use your finger to pan or scroll the board. Microsoft Whiteboard supports this model very well. It would be fantastic if FigJam did the same, because I am a UX designer and I sketch a lot in my creative process. The current experience keeps me from using FigJam.What happens todayIn FigJam I cannot use the pen to write and erase directly while using my finger to move around the canvas. This slows sketching and forces constant tool switching.What I need Pen tip writes Pen eraser erases Finger pans or scrolls the board This mirrors common behavior on Windows touch devices and matches how Microsoft Whiteboard works.Why it mattersFast sketching is core to my workflow as a UX designer. Natural pen plus finger interactions make wireframing and ideation much faster. This change would remove a daily barrier and make Fi

When I try to interact with Figma using touch or pen input, certain UI elements, such as plugin windows and scrolling through lists, do not work as expected. The issue occurs on a Surface Pro 11 X Elite running Windows 11. Steps to reproduce: Open the Figma native app on the mentioned device. Attempt to scroll through a list or interact with a plugin window using touch or pen input. Observe that the UI does not respond correctly. Expected behavior: Touch and pen interactions should seamlessly work for all UI elements, including plugin windows and list scrolling. Device details: Device: Surface Pro 11 X Elite OS: Windows 11 Please investigate this issue as it significantly impacts usability for devices relying on touch or pen input. Thank you!

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this The issue with this feature has been covered many times in Spectrum discussions:Spectrum – 3 Jan 18 There is a way to avoid this by holding SPACE as soon as you click & don’t start dragging the object. But why force us to do acrobatics with our fingers by holding down an additional button, just to move the object? Why not provide an option to disable that functionality completely? Nagaraj Chandran had a very logical idea in his comment: “I don’t want to hold the spacebar key to disable auto-nesting. Maybe, it should be the other way around. Hold spacebar or any other key to auto-nest.” Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) More than enough in discussions on Spectrum ☝️ Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation Does anybody find this feature useful? If yes, please enlighten me on how to make use of it because it’s driving me insane and ki

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

How can I change settings of video fill to speed play faster? will that be supported or added anytime soon?

Figma sites doesn't seem to support Figma Draw brushes, will that be included in the upcoming updates?

It would be awesome if we could get access to copy and paste data in the Plugin API. We’re looking at creating a product which allows users export from our site to Figma (ideally through the clipboard) and the current ways of doing that involve some gnarly scripting I’d rather avoid. If there’s another solution that would be awesome too! To be more specific the endpoint would be used like let copyData = figma.selection[0].copyData so we could copy that into users clipboards on our site.

Hi Figma Team,I’d love to see an enhancement to FigJam that allows videos (and GIFs) to autoplay, play simultaneously, and loop continuously. This would be an amazing addition for creating video moodboards where multiple videos can be displayed and automatically played in sync. It would allow users to create dynamic and immersive visual experiences directly within FigJam, perfect for design inspiration and collaboration.Thank you for considering this feature!

Was told by a Figma rep that there are only 200+ requests for Figma to export as webP - and they didn’t sound positive that it would be integrated. So, I want to rally the community to push for this feature. There are already paid plugins out there that do this, so there must be a need. Show your support and let’s push the incredible team at Figma to incorporate it!

Hi, We are working on a pixelart project and figured out it would actually speedup our workflow A LOT if it was possible to disable Anti-Aliasing everywhere for viewing, editing and exporting. Having the option to disable it per object could also be interesting. Is this something you guys could add? Thank you very much.

The hover area for the “click-and-drag to resize” functionality is only 1px wide, unlike all of the other inputs on the same panel that have a representative icon, and subsequently larger hover area. Can we add an icon or otherwise make the font size hover area consistent with its siblings?

As a user I want to lock the guides so that I dont accidently select or move them. This is frustrating. There are times when layout grids are are the correct tool to use and a time when guides/rules are the correct tool. When you are zoomed out it’s impossible to select elements without selecting or moving guides/rules. 🙂 …to everything turn turn turn turn…

I find managing template colors really difficult in Slides. I can’t easily organize, re-order, or rename them. I’ve found some ways to hack it but it feels really convoluted trying to provide color options in the templates I’m making. I think Slides is doing a really great job on most fronts and I love the product, but I find myself just using colors from other libraries because managing them within Slides is so confusing.

Right now, once you create a Main Component, there is no way to convert it back into a normal Frame/Group/Autolayout. If a component is no longer useful, we are forced to use the workaround: create instance → detach → delete main component. This adds extra steps and slows down workflow. Request: Please add a simple option like “Remove Component” that instantly converts a main component back to its original state.This would save time, reduce friction, and improve cleanup when working with experimental or temporary components.

The main source of inspiration for this idea was to match the keyboard shortcuts themselves to different keyboard layouts. Right now, users who don’t use US keyboards have to memorize the location of the keys, rather than to use the actual character location to be able to use the shortcuts. Those involving this region are primarily the case: ABNT2 layout (Brazil). And here’s an example of confusing shortcuts: Although this problem could be solved by just rebinding the shortcuts to the actual character and not the location on the keyboard, I’ve noticed there are some other issues concerning key bindings. On this forum post, a member of the community asked for help on backing one layer level with a different shortcut from what Figma has right now. This makes the user adapt their workflow to the tool, and not the other way around — and that hinders efficiency. It would be nice if the tool itself provided some sort of customization on this regard. Although being a workaround, Mac users c

The current Tables feature in Figma feels quite limited. It would be fantastic if some basic functionalities could be introduced soon, such as: • The ability to easily resize cells without needing to adjust font size • The option to merge cells • Top, middle, and bottom text alignment options These enhancements would bring Figma’s table functionality more in line with what we already have in tools like Keynote and Google Slides.

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with the current limitations of Figma’s Slide Deck feature. As a tool celebrated for its UI/UX capabilities, it’s astonishing that Figma lacks fundamental functionalities that are already included in other design platforms. Key Issues: Absence of Interactive Buttons for Non-Linear Navigation: The inability to create buttons within slides that link to other slides severely restricts the creation of dynamic, user-driven presentations. This is a basic feature in tools like Canva, which allows for interactive menus and branching scenarios. Smart Animation for Linked Slides: Once non-linear navigation is added, Smart Animate should apply smoothly across these links to keep animations consistent. This avoids disrupting animations when navigating non-linearly, ensuring a seamless experience. Enhanced Linking Visualization in Grid View: The Grid View is a great feature, but to avoid the mess of overlapping arrows like in Figma’s Prototype mode,
