Suggest a Feature

Dear Figma DX Team, I am writing to provide feedback on the requirement to load fonts asynchronously in order to changes the characters/text of layers with Figma plugins. While I understand the need for font management within plugins, this approach presents significant challenges (at least for me). As a plugin designer, I cannot predict which fonts end users will have in their Figma files. This unpredictability and the need to load fonts asynchronously adds complexity and uncertainty to the plugin development process. I suggest considering an alternative approach that allows plugin developers to handle fonts more seamlessly. For instance, providing a single function that analizes the layers that are going to be changed and loads fonts on demand. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I was working on effects that all used different colors. I noticed everytime I switch to a new object I had to reopen the effects menu to adjust the color property. I’m curious if anyone else would find it helpful to have a menu persist as you change between like items. Is there a way to know “I want to do a similar action to my last on my newest selection”?

Please do not put toolbar in middle , it make me annoying and can not focus. Let’s keep old version layout. Please… And i pay for Figma organization why i have not AI tool ?

I really miss this group button for components; it’s convenient with a large click area, so I don’t mind misclicking. Especially the reset button, as I work with it every single day with a thousand clicks, so it’s kind of annoying when I have to click on the “more options” button and find the reset button.

I want the actions pop up to stay up even after I changed things inside like checking or unchecking some settings. It should only close when I click out of it

Hi Figma team, I love the “Simplify Instance” feature for helping to streamline complex designs. However, I think it could be even more powerful with some additional controls: Show/Hide Component Properties: The ability to toggle the visibility of component properties would be very helpful for focusing on specific attributes during the simplification process. Show/Hide Relevant Layers: Sometimes it’s useful to hide certain layers when simplifying instances, especially when dealing with deeply nested components. On/Off Nested Component Selection while Hovering: An option to enable/disable the selection of nested components while hovering would improve precision when working with intricate designs. These enhancements would give users more granular control over the simplification process and further improve the overall efficiency of working with instances in Figma. Thanks for considering this feedback!

As an Enterprise admin, I would love to be able to impersonate other members to understand and proof access levels and See how they access/view things. Alternatively, a tag within files or projects with “Admin view only”… something to give better clarity on access levels. Cheers

Currently when reviewing changes, there’s a “resolve all” option that applies to all pages and all changes on each page. However, it would be really great to be able to resolve for all changes on a single page because I might have 2 pages that I made branch edits on, and 17 pages that should maintain the Main file edits. Currently you have to manually select for every change on every page, if you can’t resolve 100% for branch or for main. Which is crazy. Going even a step further, within a page it would even be helpful to be able to select multiple changes and resolve those as a group, speeding up the 1x1 process but giving more fidelity than a “resolve all”. In general I find the UI of the resolve and merge somewhat confusing, and the new designers on my team who are using branches for the first time have come to me with questions about how the heck this works, and for help to make sure they won’t mess anything up when merging. I think this speaks to the fact that it’s fairly hard to

Right now when prototyping in Figma, if your screen has a component with a string in it (think an input field), you can’t set a text string variable on that component. Because components? It’s super annoying bc it means if I want a decent prototype for filling out a form, for example, I have to their break all my components, or make 109209 extra pages to link together in my prototype to show every field filled or unfilled. Would love a little more fidelity in the prototyping tools especially for super common software functions like typing in a field. But maintaining my component library while doing that.

When you’re binding a variable with multiple modes to a component property, the system/UI only reads the first mode as “working” and crosses out the other modes even if they still work. This creates a horror show for trouble shooting. You need some way to not flag items that would work when the mode is switched, or at the very least for it not to be crossed out when that mode is actually active. Binding variables to component properties needs review I think

Hi there, I’m interested in using FigJam, but I have some colleagues who make copies for students of a jamboard on google classroom. When I put a copy of a FigJam in classroom, I don’t see make a copy for each student as an option. That feature is a real deal breaker for some of my colleagues. I would have liked it for the Frayer model that they featured… Is it possible to add it? Thanks!

This is not a feature but it’s a request for a new product. It would be useful if there’s Figma for VR products like Apple vision pro. Using Figma with no desks and with any position you want (Standing, setting, reclining…) will make the work much comfortable and decrease back pain problems which is one of the biggest problems in today’s generation.

For instance, when we haven’t created own font styles yet and still working on same drafts, it’s a bit inconvenient to change each text object’s font style. So, I guess, it is possible to change text features all at once. Of course, there might be some moments of inconsistency, because not all of the fonts have its various types, like Noto, Montseratt etc. But anyway, in my opinion, a good solution exists. Thank you 🙂

Hi Figma, I just want to share an idea. I’m so excited about variable updates, especially opacity and radius variable. But it will be better if opacity control is not only for layer, we –especially me– need it for fill.

There used to be icons in the corner of each file (Figma/FigJam) but are gone recently. Any way to enable them back? I can see them in tabs and list view but grid view is my daily driver. With most my files named after project name now i can’t quickly distinguish beetween design document and client brainstorming boards. Ugh.

What are the chances of having an export setting that allows PDF’s to be exported as spreads? Currently its limited to singles as you ‘export frames to PDF’ I know that you can change the view settings to view as spreads in acrobat after export but that only allows the setting to be saved / viewed on your device and not for others who open the PDF unless that too change settings.

Sometimes I use command “Select all with the same property” when I want to select objects in exact area, but Figma select whole objects on page What do you think about feature, that allows select objects with the same properties only in section? I think it will be convenient

right now if you want to build a table, you really have to assemble something that either respects rows or columns more-so and then you sacrifice certain features. For example, if I wanted to build a column that expanded as needed width for the longest element in a column, I need to build a column-centric frame layout… but then if I wanted every single row across a series of columns to expand vertically across all the columns to provide more detailed data on a row of cells, I can’t do that unless I built a row-centric table…

It would be helpful if Admins could buy org level licensing for all users instead of having each user buy a licence ties to their individual user account.

What’s the point of dev mode when you charge for it ??? and dev mode only comes with a designer access which is full editing mode??? WTF of the thinking is that? Dev mode should be fore devs! Let all the dev team in my firm to be able to access that!

When using comment view on Figma slides, I cannot do mostly any other action in the slides like copying, pasting and even skiping/unskipping slides. All of this while not getting feedback from this. I even had some difficulty understanding that was happening because of comment mode. I tought the whole app had frozen. I’m using the native app on a mac if this helps.

Simple, just me with most of our users using 1366px desktop screen (and laptops)

Hello! When a Designer requests edit access to a project/branch, the only actions available via the email notification are to Approve or Deny. It would be extremely helpful if the email included a link to the project/branch in question, so the file can be inspected beforehand. In my company, sometimes Branches can have duplicate names and it is impossible to know which branch edit access is being requested for. +

In CSS, adjacent margins can sometimes overlap. This is known as “margin collapse”. Margin collapse occurs when vertically adjacent margins of block-level elements collide to share a general margin space. The larger number margin dictates the size of this shared space. If a margin of 24px collides with a margin of 56px, the 56px margin will win. If a margin of -24px collides with a margin of -56px, -56px will win. This will help prevent unnecessary variants for the functionality of adding/removing space within components. Toggling margin collapse as conditional in auto layout will save time and get design closer to development. Here is more on margin collapse.

It would be cool to add a lock screen with a password to protect from prying eyes on work devices that are not accessible when you go home.
