Suggest a Feature

Since Figma does not support going back to previous views, it is quite frustrating to switch between pages. Would you ever allow the same file to be opened in another tab, but not in a new app window? This would become very handy to switch between pages in the same file.

Hello Figma! I can not change the direction of the Autolayout on the instances of a component. I can not understand why such a great feature is disabled on the instances and why not allow us to overwrite it? There are so many incidents that I would have wished to be able to change the direction of the Autolayout in the instances of the component but right now I have to create multiple variants. 😦

Hey Figma team 👋We’re exploring ways to use Dev Mode annotations more heavily in our workflow so that we can move away from sticky notes and keep all developer-related notes/context directly in Figma.However, we’ve hit a challenge — users with “View only” permissions can’t see annotations. This becomes a blocker for our team because our PMs (who only need viewing access) are unable to read these annotations. It’s important that they can, since they often need to reference these details when writing specs and collaborating with engineers.We’re on an Enterprise plan, and while we understand that edit access is required for creating or modifying annotations, it would be really valuable if view-only users could at least read existing annotations.  Is there any existing workaround to allow this visibility? Or is this something that could be cons

I want to be able to set a Layout Guide Style: Color property to a variable so that I can switch the color using Variable Modes.

Hello there, I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides. Take a look at the screenshot. A suggestion for the guides colour:

I know this has been requested a handful of times but want to riase again. I would love to see the ability to add sub folders within project files. I work for a large organisation in which we have multiple teams and products. I work within the website team which has a whole bunch of delivery squads within in. We use the current project folders for each of our squads. The enables us to keep all the squads under one website team within the organisation structure. Having sub folders would be super beneficial.

I’ve been looking into how I can leverage the new MCP server functionality in my design-to-dev handover process, but have been struggling with a few issues.As a means of speeding up my web design process, I have created singular components (no variants) that use variables for spacing, typography etc. These variables relate to modes like Wide Desktop, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile. My idea is that I’d like the MCP to read the singular component and be able to extract all the variables information across all modes and map those values to Tailwind classes (such as pt-4 md:pt-6 lg:pt-8 etc..) With a fair bit of back-and-forth, I’ve been able to recreate a passable version of my designs, but only for a single instance - this using variables from the default/first variable mode. So it’s not ideal to select one frame/screensize at a time and prompt the agent to recreate it - the code output can get messy pretty quickly.Do we know if th

I hope Figma notice this but i been wanting to suggest Figma to create another product that will call Figma Print. Mostly gonna focus or will add features for Print like Crop Marks, Bleed, CMYK. etc

Currently, annotation categories are defined per file.This makes it hard to keep consistency across team projects.It would be very useful to have option for team-level or organization-level annotation categories, managed centrally, so all files share the same list.This would help maintain alignment between designers, developers, and QA.Please upvote 😊

I have just realised that the links in my slides document (anchor to certain slides/pages) are still present in the exported PDF but: Unfortunately they no longer link to the specific pages but to my Figma Slides file in editor mode. This means that viewers can read my notes even without an Figma-Accout. It would be very helpful if this bug (if it is one) is fixed or at least to get more options when exporting as a PDF file such as the option ‘interactive’ or ‘non-interactive’.

Managing local variables is pretty cumbersome and buried in menus. Bringing over the variable window found in Figma, would be big help in managing local variables.

We have Figma integrated with with SSO and SCIM for provisioning access to all employees, while also granting Dev Mode access to a few of them, but we usually end up getting tons of random Dev Mode access requests from in-product options, which are misleading, since we can’t automatically grant people access without opening a support ticket first to ensure the SCIM permissions are correct. How to turn that in-product option that offers people to request Dev Mode access off, so we can stop inducing people to request it outside of our IT support loop?

I work on several themes to support the many brands within my company. One of the ways that brands can differentiate themselves and showcase brand personality is by using custom arrows for navigational buttons (Back/Next) and within Carousel & Pagination elements. As I’m building a theme and filling in the hex values per brand for the semantic tokens, I want to be able to assign a custom arrow for these controls at the same time using variables. While everything else that I need to build a theme can be handled with variables, without icon support, I’m not able to build one file that includes all themes. Instead I have to build one UI kit per theme. Additionally, some of my teams use different design systems based on the product they work on, whether it’s web, app, or enterprise. With icon support in variables, I could preload their preferred icon styles (flat, outline, filled, etc.) to their components without them having to make the selections manually every time.

Is it possible to embed a youtube video into Figma Slides?

Anyone else have way too many tabs open in figma and accidentally close one when navigating between them? As far as I can tell there’s no way to get tabs back when closed by mistake. If you view the file first it’s easy to get it back with “sort by last viewed” but not if it was closed without opening first.

When updating a component with many instances across a file, the editing experience often slows down and becomes frustrating, as Figma attempts to propagate every change instantly. This slowdown mainly happens because the browser’s memory quickly reaches its limit.Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a “Pause updates” or “Isolation” mode that allows users to edit a component without synchronizing changes to all instances in real time? Once editing is complete, exiting this mode would then apply all updates across every instance.This approach would preserve a smooth editing experience while still ensuring all instances stay consistent afterward.I’m not sure about the technical implications of implementing such a feature, but I believe the idea could be valuable to many users. 🙂

There’s currently no way to wrap text around an object like an icon, spot illustration, or image. The only solution is to manually break the copy into 2 text boxes and add the second one underneath the icon. We had big plans for our design system to include scaled variants of components where text would need to wrap around icons and spot illustrations to save screen space. So not having this feature makes it hard to design for accessibility and see how components will scale. It’s a little tricky to get the line height right, and also means we can’t easily add scaled variants to our existing design system library. It’s also stopping us from creating a plugin where designers could stress test their designs with larger accessible fonts. Would be great if Figma could add this as a feature. Has anyone else had this issue? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Our team works in Pixso and we want to migrate to Figma. But we have so many projects it would be very complicated to make it manually.Please Please Please! 🙏🏼

When I was doing slides with Figma Design, I would have a page for each presentation within a specific workstream, something like the following hierarchy in my organization. Project name: ClientName — File name: Packaging Design —— Page: R1 Exploration - 24.01.01 —— Page: R2 Directions - 24.02.01 —— Page: R3 Refinement - 24.03.01 With the new Slides, this 3-level hierarchy seems to have been broken down into 2 levels, with the lack of an ability to have different versions of a deck within one Slides file. I miss that. In its current state, I foresee the Project folder in the organization being inundated with too many random Slides files that become difficult to organize.

My name is Anselmo,I would like to suggest a crucial improvement for accessibility and user experience: the implementation of a specific zoom or scale adjustment option for the sidebars (Layers and Properties).The Problem:The fixed font size and element size in the sidebars, especially for users who work for long periods, cause visual fatigue and make it difficult to read information. The current solution of using the interface zoom (via Shift + Cmd + +) resizes the entire application, which can compromise the canvas view and is not the ideal approach for focusing only on the panels.The Proposed Improvement:Add a configuration option to adjust the font size and icons in the sidebars, allowing users to customize the interface to their visual needs. Implement a separate zoom control for the side panels, similar to the one that exists for the canvas, offering

Our small company uses Figma Make to create wireframes and leverage the AI tool for writing acceptance criteria and generating designs. We’re on an enterprise-level subscription, which provides excellent functionality for designers. However, the current collaboration model presents challenges for non-designers on our team.While the design and AI capabilities in Figma Make are impressive, the permissions structure limits collaboration. Everywhere I click I need to request access and elevate my subscription! Specifically, collaborators cannot share or distribute their Figma Make designs — even though collaboration across roles is essential to our workflow. This restriction feels counterintuitive to Figma’s collaborative ethos.For small companies like ours, paying for multiple full-design licenses isn’t cost-effective since most team members are not designers, but they still play ke

I sometimes update components in large files, and hitting the ‘update’ button in the “Manage Libraries” updates panel often just sits there- I wonder if it’s working or not- and then suddenly the row I updated vanishes (after the update applies / memory catches up to the screen rendering). I’d love it if there was a spinner / non-interactive state during these loads; or just better state indication / handling in general- often I don’t know if something’s happening or if Figma has frozen, only to suddenly have the UI jump around after I’ve been trying to click on things to wake it up.

Im creating a prototype and would like to link to live pages on our site without having the User in the test have to see the “Leaving Figma Warning” page. My concern is that it takes it breaks the illusion of an actual experience. Is there a way remove this middle page from the experience?

Figma has had dark mode since forever, and it's honestly wild that FigJam still forces us into a bright white canvas. I know the sticky notes have colors, but here's the thing:Eye strain during long workshops - We run 2-3 hour brainstorming sessions and that white canvas is brutal Consistency with the rest of our workflow - We jump between Figma (dark) and FigJam (bright) constantly Late night collaboration - Distributed teams mean someone's always working evening hours Accessibility concerns - Some folks on our team have light sensitivityThe irony isn't lost on me that we use FigJam to design products with dark modes... in a tool that doesn't have one. 🙃===Quick note on browser extensions and unofficial plugins:Before anyone suggests it - yes, I'm aware there are browser extensions and third-party plugins that claim to add dark
