It would be great if the tool could automatically tell me if I have any layers that I don’t really need to have (or even just give me an option to check for them). Especially when I’m working with a component or starting from a previous design, I often end up with “extra” layers that aren’t doing anything except cluttering my file. They don’t have any backgrounds, strokes, or spacing applied, and there is usually already another layer that is maintaining the auto layout or grouping needed. Trying to go through and clean them up on my own takes a bit of time, and many users often don’t even bother. It can then lead to issues finding the correct layer to adjust an auto-layout or remove a style.

Hi - When prototyping - I would expect to see a mode switch individual components not the global container: for example: I use Default (no hover) and Hover for Modes - which effects the colors of the text, bg, etc When I go to create my prototype and I select Hover - set variable mode to: Hover I expect when I hover over each individual to turn off or on when I hover over them specifically (one at a time) but currently this looks at the whole side rail container and hovers them on all togher

Currently, the inspect panel for view-only files only shows the variable name on assigned properties, not the actual value. Without any reference to the variables and their values, this makes it useless for devs that just need simple access for measurements. I understand the push for Dev Mode, but you should hide actual values behind a paywall. At the very least it should default to the value, or show the value alongside the variable.

I have the latest version of Figma running on my Intel Macbook OS14.6.1. I created a brand new Slide Deck “from scratch,” (which actually uses the “Light Slides” template by Figma) and, when Design mode is active, nothing happens if I click on the “New style or variable” plus icon button. I am also not able to change the names of color variables, or modify the existing color variables. I can only add Theme/Template (inconsistent naming) colors when NOT in design mode. I guessing this is a limitation of the current Beta version. So for those having similar issues, the only way to change “variables,” which are actually Theme/Template colors, is to turn off design mode and adjust the colors there, but these colors cannot be named. Furthermore, the only way to modify a Theme/Template color (the only way to access the tiny circular color modification icon button) is to have an object with that color selected, which results in changing the color of whatever object is selected just to modify

Not long ago, Figma introduced a major change to how drafts are managed. Now, there’s a distinct draft folder for each team you’re part of, accessible via a dropdown instead of being always visible. Updates to how drafts work Issue: When creating new drafts, it’s unclear where they’re saved—there’s no breadcrumb or clear indication, especially when starting a draft outside the Figma homepage. It seems that drafts are placed in the team space currently active in the dropdown, or from which your open tab is associated. This often leads to drafts being mixed up, and I’ve had trouble locating them. In one case, I added an editor without realizing the draft was saved in a customer’s team space, which caused them to be added to the client’s payroll instead of mine. The breadcrumb in the file header only shows “Draft > …”, which doesn’t help. Proposed Solution: Including the Team Space in the file breadcrumb would clarify which space you’re working in, whether it’s a new draft or an existi

As you can see, when I open the prop “Variant” to see the available values, I can see very little of the actual text. So, as in this case, I can’t distinguish between the last two options: ‘Expand (hug)’ and ‘Expand (fixed)’ It would be great if the width of this dropdown could be just a little wider (or even dynamically hug the content) Thanks!

I usually work together with my PM on projects. They are not designers and they use Figma to gather feedback from the clients, it is very annoying that they are not able to mark the client’s comments as “resolved” simply because they’re viewers. I understand that it could be seen as a risk that a viewer could potentially delete other people’s comments, but here we’re just talking about resolving, which doesn’t delete the comment. Is this a feature that could be added for viewers? It’s a bit extreme to pay a full design seat just to be able to resolve comments imo

Hi all, is it possible to bulk apply ready for dev at all? On one of my massive projects it would be great to select several frames and set them as ready, rather than one at a time.

Please improve the search feature. It’s hard to find than before. Even if I know and choose a category, I cannot input a keyword to search for.

Instead of instantly changing all component instances accross the files and lagging when changing the component itself, it would be great if changes would start to change only after mouse or keyboard interaction. In this way, component editing would not be so slow (if it’s used a lot of times across the files).

We probably all have a huge amount of plugins and resources saved in the “saved” section of our profile. Being able to create lists to organize this section would be a luxury and a pleasure to the eye.

It would be handy to be able to see the amount of new comments that each file has in its thumbnail because it’s usually the first thing I see when I open Figma and we work a lot using the comments. The notification panel is fine, but this I think would be a nice addition.

I hope to be able to support centimeter units and import/export CDR and AI files…

It would be great to have a way to lock edit access to anyone (including those who have access via team membership, etc.) in an individual FigJam.

I am building a design system, and it’s quite the work to create text styles for every variant. It would be so nice if we could select a couple of text layers, turn them into different text styles and be able to rename them individually without having to deselect and individually select them again.

It would be great to be able to bulk add students directly from Google Classroom (classroom importing) and also easily be able to toggle edit access for the whole class in an individual FigJam, regardless of their membership in a project or team.

Imagine command palette which allows you to change any component property - color/text styles, variants, props etc without ever touching the mouse. Linear command palette but for Figma essentially. The distance I am traveling back and forth from frames to the property panel is absurd so this would improve the ergonomy of using Figma

Hi 🙂 I love that you’ve added the multi-select feature, but when it comes to component sets, I often don’t want to edit all variants inside a set. I’m working on our Design System and was editing our button component set. I wanted to change the icon size of all buttons with the variant prop S applied. But when I trigger multi-edit variants it always selects all variants inside my component set. (All sizes, states, etc.) Currently if I want to make changes only to for example the icon, I have to shift select each one of them by hand and as they are nested inside I have to double click a lot. If I miss-click I also have to start over sometimes. It would be wonderful if there would be an option to filter by the property you want to multi-select when inside a component. So in my example I would filter by the variant “Size: S” and only my S buttons are selected. I can then select layers inside one element and all the other variants with the size S will select the same element as wel

Hi Figma Team, I suggest removing unnecessary information in the project selection window to make project names more readable. This would enhance the user experience by making file management easier. Thank you for your attention.

I want to request a way to batch resolve comments. Currently, comments must be resolved one-by-one, which is tedious. Ideas: Resolve all comments within frame. Maybe this could show in the right-click menu after right-clicking on a frame. Resolve all comments within ___ (frame, section, group, page, selection). Could the idea above work at various levels? Add multi-select to the right-hand comments panel, and controls for “resolve” and maybe other actions. So as the user, I can select multiple comment items, then click to resolve them all.

In the UI3 I need to use the shortcut for this very helpful functionality “Paste to Replace”. Please bring it back in the Command menu (even you can hide it under “Copy /paste as …” but don’t delete it. thanks!

I’m not sure if this exists already. But it would be great to have access to or create a master file with font styles instead of changing them on the side menu every time.

Hey 👋 I like password protection on my links, but I don’t want people to go through the additional step of typing in the password. This is especially important when portfolio links created on Flides (Figma Slides) are submitted in a “Corporate” form field. I propose to make this more seamless and have something like https://www.figma.com/deck/S0m3HasH/Design-Portfolio?*password="NoNeedToTypePassword"* and make it more seamless. Maybe we can have a button with Copy Link With Password

Hi, I really enjoy how snappy and easy to use is the new measure (Shift+M) tool in Dev mode. However, I was unable to find a way how to annotate minimum and maximum width values there. In my case pixels are not that important and my preferred units are CSS Grid fractions. It would be nice if the measurement tool would let overriding its original value, so I could emphasise what’s important, in my case: width: 1fr. min-width: 300px. If there’s already a way to do that, I would love to hear that! Example image attached:

Hey Figma team, I just got access to the new UI, yay! I was hoping that by pressing the minimize button on the layers panel that it would minimize just that side, but it seems to minimize both sides at once. This essentially duplicates the hide UI functionality that already exists (CMD + \ ). Short explanation: New SHIFT + \ minimize is basically the same as CMD + . Change SHIFT + \ to minimize only the layers panel.
