I’m working as transparent as possible but having people seeing irl what I’m doing is sometimes detrimental. I was wondering if there’s a way to activate a multiplayer freeze for non-editors. If I activate multiplayer freezing it takes say a snapshot of my file the moment I activate it and displays this snapshot to non-editors. It allows me to continue working on the file while other people see the latest status that has been “approved” by me - namely the last snapshot. It also helps me keep my file clean since I wouldn’t have to create duplicate pages or separate sections for stakeholders, and allows me to also just have one link I can share with people. This of course would make sense the most for WIPs that are actively been worked on, let’s say quick turnaround projects where not only design teams are working on but need access to the latest designs. I haven’t given much of a thought about this 🤷🏼‍♂️ but it just came to

I want to draw mind-maps with collapsible branches and that the arrows or lines connecting the different branches can be clicked on, and the user can be able to insert either an image, text, or a document that could be opened and closed when not needed.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Background scrolls with other elements. When I set “Fix position when scrolling” it jump upper and overlap other elements. Goal Make background static when other elements can be scrolled on top of it. Solution Add 3rd tab of scrolling type in the next order: FIXED … SCROLLS … BACKGROUND or “BACK ELEMENTS” which is fixed but placed under the "SCROLLS’ layers. Thanks!

Can we get an On Scroll feature, where by animations happen when you scroll. It is not the same as on drag. Parallax being an example of one.

Small quality of life improvement: Don’t save blank new files. I’ll accidentally hit Cmd+N and then immediately close the tab before doing anything. I end up with a bunch of “Untitled” files that are blank. It’d be great if it didn’t save these blank files. Seems easy enough to delete files that are blank.

I absolutely love the ‘Selection colors’ menu… but at times it can get in the way. I know you limit the amount of colors initially shown which helps— but could we maybe also add a toggle for the menu to collapse or show AND/OR move the menu maybe below ‘Effects’ menu or even below ‘Export’?

Im Product Manager. My Designer writing some rules within the Figma I’m writing stories within Jira I copy past rules from Figma to Jira (+ additional rules) I then use the Jira link and Jira widget to add my Jira within the Figma closed to the UI Why can’t my designer directly create and update rules directly in Jira without leaving their Figma ?

I guess split-tabbing works great for Macs, but window-splitting is a default function for Windows. Figmas function is just repeating Windows’ functionality. It would be okay, if Figma’s was hidden somewhere behind the button or hotkey but it’s activated by dragging a tab. Dragging a tab always put in it a new window. It is so in all applications but apparently not Figma. Please: Add an option to turn off split-tabbing Optimize Figma for basic Windows functionality

I am planning a book, and each chapter has a set of sticky notes, which I sort by colour. But I need more colours in order to do this. So I suggest a HEX code selector or something similar.

Hello everybody, I have almost 8000 hidden components (they are without . or _ prefixes) in a library of almost 10000 components. Does someone know how to unhide them so that they appear in the shared library? For now I am right-clicking each hidden component and selecting ‘Show when publishing’, which takes 2-3 secs… So I hope to accomplish this task roughly in 5 hours, if I don’t take breaks…

At this moment Figma can open only frame at prototype view. Sometimes my frame is an instance of component and i have a few or ten or hundred instances that i want to look at prototype, but to open it I have to create frame around the instance. And I think the better expirience to add possibility to open component or instance at the prototype view without creating frame around it

There is vertical and horizontal auto layout, but it would be nice to have 2D auto layout. I.e. aligned bottom right corner of first object to top left corner of the next. Sorry if there’s an easy way to accomplish this without a product change that I don’t know about 😓

I have a set of color variables which I would like to use for text-- and then have the color variables available in the component’s Properties panel. The same question goes for a color fill on a shape. Use case: We have banners that need to be able to change text color between a set of pre-defined Color Variables. The text color is NOT the primary thing that differentiates these banners (so it doesn’t really make sense to make a dozen different Variants of the banner component based on text color), and we prefer not to have our designers ctrl+click on the text box and manually select the Color Variable. Anytime we have to manually select a Color Variable for an Instance, we have issues with the designers just typing in a HEX code or grabbing a similar-looking Color Style. We can kind-of solve this issue for Shapes by using a “cascading components” logic, where we make a “background color” rectangle component with a variant for e

Mentioned here as a question, but wanted to post as an idea in hopes it gets noticed again. Very simple, just the ability to set what static frame a video sits on while on the canvas. This is an option for GIF fills already, so it makes a lot of sense to make this possible for video fills as well. I’m 99% of the way to switching from Keynote to Figma for presenting ideas, but this is the one feature that’s keeping me in Keynote.

Currently I face the problem, that when i´m updating a file with recently changes from a Component Library File, i’m not getting any information about the Progress. The File remains blocked without any info whats happening. Would reccomend a Progress bar when i update the Components, that shows at least that some Action is happening. It’s kinda frustrating not knowing, if the System is blocked or how long it takes (simple UX Rule btw to give System-Feedback to the User). When i Publish changes, i see a Progress Info but when Updating nothing is shown

So I recently started using the professional plan on Figma at my company and ran into problems with FigJam. I don’t understand why one can’t use FigJam even the free version because I’m on a professional plan with Figma? During payment I didn’t tick FigJam. I thought since I didn’t pay for the pro version for FigJam that I wouldn’t have access to the pro features but still be able to use FigJam starter version even if its one file or something cause I hardly use FigJam much. Please put a disclaimer or notification that tells the user that he will be charged cause the FigJam available now has pro features along the professional plan…if he didn’t actually pay for FigJam during payment. It’s not clear especially for new pro users dipping their toes. If not this could be considered a deceptive pattern! And I don’t see the reason why we can’t be able to still have the FigJam starter package even. cause I have to maybe use my p

Bulk renaming gives a different (01) number naming convention than duplicating screens (1) Using the number function in the bulk renaming modal gives you a number that starts with (for example) 01. If I then duplicate the page to get the second step of my process in it gives me the number 2 as opposed to 02. I don’t mind either, but I’d very much like for either to adhere to the rest.

Whilst it’s great you can embed or link to components in platforms such as Jira, Confluence and Storybook it would also be helpful to show information on a components spacing, text styles and code views as well. For example copying a component frame url and embedding this in Confluence produces the following view: It would be great if you could also copy a url (maybe when in dev mode) and embed views of the spacing,

What I’d like to do: Have a base level variant component, for example a checkbox with an on and off state. Have an upper (instance) level component that includes several instances of that base level component, ie.: a list of checkboxes, each of which can be clicked to change their own on and off state. In addition, I’d like to have a variable state associated with each of those individual instances, and be able to change that variable based on clicking that instance. For example: clicking on the instance increments (or decreases) the “total clicked” variable value to itself plus (or minus) one. Because a click interaction is set on both the base-level, and the instance-level, the instance level will override the base, and both cannot be triggered. Would love to have a future release that allows same interaction with different outcomes at different levels of the same component.

I’m working on advanced prototyping and sometimes I want to overrule a a condition or an expression, I deleted then rewrite it. I can’t take as copy cause I have many expressions. So could be there any way to make a comment like in IDEs?

When in a Figma file, I’d like to be able to add a new page that’s a documentation type rather than a design type. The format of the active space would be like word or google docs or something similar, but a document editor with pages and not a free zoom/scroll space. This would help centralize documentation for design systems as well as for product managers and developers to have a more familiar space to put documentation.

👋 Hello everyone, I have been reflecting on how we can improve and grow our community, especially in terms of collaboration and contribution. One idea that came to mind is the ability to fork community files, similar to how GitHub works. 🫡 Why it is important? By having the ability to “fork” files, we can obtain a copy of the original file and create a branch to propose changes. This would allow us to: ✅ Contribute to the libraries we use every day. ✅ Propose improvements and optimizations. ✅ Help with constructive feedback. ✅ Collaborate on documentation. ⚡ Benefits This method would not only give us the opportunity to improve existing files, but would also foster a culture of collaboration, similar to what we see in GitHub’s open source projects. It would allow members to actively contribute, improve

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us the option to disable auto update. Seriously, this is a real design flaw, ironic for a UI/UX design app. One of the golden rules is never to update software mid project as it can introduce unwanted bugs. So why does Figma not have the option to disable this?

Hi Figma forum community, My name is Julia and I’m presenting you an idea on behalf of BeLight Software. Our Team developed Amadine https://amadine.com with users of all experiences with vector graphics in mind: from total beginners to the seasoned professionals. Lately we’ve had a lot of feedback from our users who wish to make the most out of their Clipboard on a Mac and iPad. But when copying the objects in Amadine the result pasted in Figma is in raster format. The developers have three types of files they store within Clipboard: PDF file, AMDC file and raster image. For some reason, only the raster image gets pasted. We’ve tested the behaviour and for example with Adobe Illustrator the same process gives a vector result. We would love to deliver the best compatibility to our users and would love to know if something can be changed on either our or your side, so that the pasted result is a vector on

PROBLEM Deleting multiple pages is painfully slow. The current version of Figma only supports deleting one page at a time. SOLUTION Allow multiple pages to be selected (Shift + Click, or COMMAND + Click) and Deleted (Delete Key or Right-Click > Delete).
