Suggest a Feature

I have transitioned to Figma for the past 9 months and I’m loving it. However, 1 thing that bothers me is not being able to customize my own workspace like Adobe illustrator and Affinity designer. For example, I use the alignment panel a lot then I should have the ability to move these panel around. Or if I don’t use the auto layout functionality at all then I should I have the ability to hide it from the UI and bring it back if needed in future. By the way if customizable panels are going to be added in future then it should be global across all Figma files. Not scoped to 1 file. Just a suggestion 🙂 Keep up the good work.

I’ve noticed something unusual in the new Beta version: the scrollbar appears when hovering over the right panel. Despite the panel’s height being sufficient to display its content without scrolling, the scrollbar overlays the UI. In contrast, the left menu only displays a scrollbar when more information fills the panel. Could we disable the scrollbar for the right panel until it’s necessary to scroll? Alternatively, placing the scrollbar within the right side gap might prevent it from overlapping with the UI.

It would be great to be able to add all slides from a template at once. Currently, I have to add them one by one, which is time-consuming.

When in Design mode, the Layers panel is only accessible in ‘Slide view’ but not in ‘Grid view’ !

Suppose I own a file but I want to change/hand over the file to my teammate which I can not do by myself. The other teammate who is going to access has difficulty for those files after removing the email id from which the file has been created. The idea is that the actual file owner should have access/option to change the ownership of the file so that it can be easily accessible to other teammates. Or there can be multiple owners of the file (Max 2-3). Please have a look at the statement mentioned. Thank you!

It’s nice that I can know that the value of something is “Hug”, but I also want to know what that value is.

Currently, the preview is locked to whatever dimension the design is (if your design is 1440, the prototype/preview will always bee 1440). This is fine if you’re designing for mobile, where the dimensions are largely fixed; however, it’s a nightmare for Web. Especially if you need to send the design for user testing or stakeholder feedback. If their screen dimensions are not exactly the same as the design, they won’t see an accurate representation. The preview should be ADAPTIVE to the design’s constraints and layout behavior, or else what’s the point? Framer does this beautifully and has different preview options to allow for this. Quick Note: This is NOT the same as ‘Responsive’ preview, where the design changes as you change the screen size.

I am facing a problem where I could not figure out why I can not scrolling some of frames. I contacted support and they figured out that it is because some frames were just overlays and the feature to scroll on them is not possible. So why not make it possible?

Helloo! Working in a designer web agency, i’ve found it useful to share my files with clients – but this is sometimes a double edged sword and can hit us in the back with untimely feedback/unexpected feedback, which can set us back timeline wise as clients put feedback in last minute. We’ve also found that when they’ve had access, the client has come across half baked ideas and became confused about what’s included in the project and what isn’t, and what’s just an idea. I’d like to propose an idea where an admin of an organisation can add a user, where their access will be revoked at a certain ‘date, time, etc.’ This way, clients can be set in a timeline where they can get all of their feedback and comments in, before they have their feedback revoked. I feel this would be a useful feature to automate removing access from clients at times, and to avoid making ‘client only’ files to hide certain designs from their eyes. I’ve attached a really roug

When I tried to rotate several layers in different groups, they are multi-edited. I just want to know how to temporarily disable Multi-edit feature to give back the legacy rotating & resizing behavior? For example I want to rotate multiple shape in this logo: There are layers that are masked and placed in different groups. Previously they would be rotated as a group of selected items although they were not grouped, in

Hi there, I have the Setting to rename duplicated layers toggled ON as you can see: But when I duplicate my layers, if the naming follows the pattern “name-01” they are not adding to the number as they used to do before. I see that it works when using space instead of hyphenation, though. Just checking to see if this is expected, because it feels like a bug to me. bellow you can see how the naming worked for different layer names after duplicating the layers.

Would be ideal if you could make something interactive within the context of a slide deck. At the most basic level, allow for scrolling of a webpage or app within a slide to show more vertical content.

Layer names can get really messy when layer renaming is enabled, and the number never seems to be very useful for me. (ex I don’t remember what “Frame 324” is, I usually just reference a named parent/child for context). To me, it’s just additional noise in my layer list. Thankfully, Figma offers an option to disable this, “Rename Duplicate Layers”. This solves my issue when duplicating, so I don’t end up with “List Cell 2, List Cell 3, etc”. But… New frames & groups still get a number added by default. This can sometimes result in seemly very random numbers appended to a new group or frame, depending on how it’s added, or what already exists in a Project. For example, drawing multiple Frames will c

When I select multiple files, the only options are to duplicate or delete the file. I need to move it

It would be helpful to be able to see when a ‘pending’ user was invited to join an instance and who added them.

Would love to be able to easily flatten a frame group when in the slide deck.

I used Freehand (invision) as my whit-boarding tool, now switching to FigJam; it’s almost impossible to draw quick sketches/ low-fid wireframes. The ability to use the line tool without snapping to other objects would be a great help. It’s ok to have limited colours, but it is challenging to achieve depth in sketches and communicate the idea without colour opacity. In our white-boarding session, we don’t need a full-on mind mapping tool 100% of the time (to connect everything).

I’m currently working on a project in Figma and would like to know how to hide section names within my design. Could please guide me on the steps to accomplish this? Any tips or best practices for managing sections and improving the overall organization of my design would also be greatly appreciated.

I cant change variables with smart animate now, so feature changing variables working good only for layers that cant be smart animated, like text, but another variables like string (that is variant), cant be smart animated, if i change it like variables in conditions. And this trouble clearly visible, when i try to change nested variable instances, they change with “instant” effect, like all the variables. it is very hard to work this way, with simple variables, nested variables and interdependent variables, unfortunately, because of this trouble it makes variables interesting to use only for text layer change. And i have to work with Figma old way. Please, hear it and make some changes

When I share my designs with developers/stakeholders/whoever in presentation mode, they are unable to select text to copy. Seems really basic, right?

I have 1 comment on a page and it looks like I have 5 or sometimes 200+… This is cause there are older comments resolved included in this count. It would be helpful to have comments count decrease as they become resolved. Does anyone else experience this? Please vote (Button above- yes I expected it below the description too)

Olá pessoal, gostaria de saber como faço para travar o tamanho do post-it / sticker? Atualmente ele está responsível de acordo o texto dentro dele! conforme as pessoas vão digitando o post-it cresce! Gostaria de saber se existe a possibilidade de travar o tamanho dele e diminuir apenas o tamanho da fonte dele automaticamente.

I often need to copy and paste frames to a different Figma page or elsewhere in the same page. However, comments are not copy-pastable to my knowledge. These frames always contain valuable comment threads that I keep to record important discussions that have design implications. My only recourse is to either (1) manually drag comments to a location in the same page or (2) manually create new comments and copy/paste the original comments’ text copy.

When using the Auto Layout Wrap feature, it would be highly beneficial to include an “absolute fill” option, possibly within the min/max dropdown. I have encountered several instances while designing forms where there are multiple items on one row, followed by a single item on the next, and then multiple items again. Currently, to ensure responsiveness across various screen sizes, I need to create a new auto layout for each row. Otherwise, the items on the row after the single item are moved up when the screen size increases. While I can set the minimum size to be wider than the largest screen to mitigate this issue, it results in text being cut off on smaller screens. An “absolute fill” option would address this by allowing a specified item to occupy the entire line regardless of screen width, thereby pushing subsequent items to the next line. This feature would be particularly useful for forms, where designing for redundancy is often necessary, especially when consid

make it so that when you switch between screens in the application, just like in the prototype window on the desktop, you can see which screens are currently on the device screen, just like for the desktop (through frame highlighting)
