Suggest a Feature

I can’t say for all designers, but I have a pattern when I’m going to start a new design project which consists of splitting my design process and documentation into two fronts: one in a Figma file where all my UI work lies, and the other in a FigJam file which tells more about the business rules, brainstorms, workshops, text documentation, personas studies, diagrams, etc. Well, since both those files complete each other as one thing, I usually work by switching the Figma tabs between those two. Why don’t we have a feature where we can “see” a piece of a FigJam workspace inside a Figma file to avoid situations like this: To avoid constantly switching tabs to check a value canvas which lies in the FigJam file, I copied and pasted it into Figma. If I make any changes to it while I’m thinking, I need to remember to replace it in the FigJam file too. The need to look at both files arises because the information from both needs to be in the same field of view.

As far as I know you can only set a fixed lenght for lines, so you can’t have a line that adjusts inside an autolayout. I’ve avoided using lines, instead I use an autolayout layer and set the height to something like 1 or 2 px so it appears as a line, however I’m working on a protoype that uses dashed lines and I can’t seem to make it work. Adding a fill setting to lines would solve issues like this. Or if someone has a better way of working around this issue I’d love to know.

There are a lot of shops using Vue. It would be really great if Figma would provide the ability to support that in Code Connect.

After locking anything, it becomes a complete detachment and now I have to scroll through the entire list to locate them. Instead if hovering on the locked item let me unlock it then and there would be great. Or atleast auto navigate to locked files if I click on them twice or smthn.

Hey Figma I’d like a feature that let’s me in addition to “can edit, can view, resend…” “pause view”, which restrict an already invited viewer to the file and then you can opening it back up without having to re-invite (if you shouldn’t). I’m always in a place where I advise my clients to not view/interact with or comment on the file while we’re designing and can very distracting having a lot of people moving around the file while you’re designing when their presence isn’t for anything collaborative.

Every now and then I press command Q on accident when I meant to press command A and Figma closes itself immediately. As I use command A a lot to select things it would be awesome if one needed to hold command Q to quite Figma. Thanks for your time. 🙂

As the person who is responsible for the payments of my teams subscriptions, I would like to have access to the receipts of payed invoices in the Admin > Billing page/section of my teams’ Figma account, So that I would not need to contact Figma support in case there is a problem with receiving links to receipts by email. At the moment I can only access the invoices from the Billing section. The emails are still convenient, so no need to change that 😀

I wish Figma has its own ToDo list embedded with the comments, so when I use comments to take notes for my action items, I can easily turn them into reminders or checklist without leaving the tool.

I wish there’s a way to export my whole project as one piece without loosing my components connection. I am working on my graduation project in my project I have 4 files 1. kit file 2. library 3. design file 4. delivery file 5. front pages file all these files components are in the library file. The issue that when I try to export these files for backup I found that all my library connections are lost. and I have more than 500+ component, it’s very frustrating.

Be able to select meeting notes font size and punctuation selections so notes can easily be read while presenting (bigger or smaller font, bullet points, bolding, etc.)

Hi! I have enabled Android and iOs UI kits for my Figma files, it’s great! But I don’t need everything. Is there a way to disable components?

I redesigned the rulers’ position in Figma in a way that feels more logical to me compared to the current solution. In the existing design, enabling the rulers causes the design panel and layers panel to shift, which can be disruptive. My design addresses this issue, ensuring that these elements remain stable, and it integrates smoothly with the new UI. Below, you can see the actual design implementation.

I know there’s a few older threads talking about standard templates for orgs and projects. But they’re locked with nothing happening. Can I request a simpler template type? Could it be possible to save a Fig as a ‘template’ so that it forces users to start a new file with that Fig? a .figt if you like. (Sketch does something similar to this, or going oldschool MS .Dotx file type for word docs…). In our enterprise account, we have a lot of users who have full edit rights, but are not Figma super users, so invariably always end up editing the template master. Plus it’s just easier than instructing everyone ‘Duplicate this to your files’… then they ask how, because under the chevron is not intuitive/does not make sense to them. Or we get requests to Edit the locked file from members from other teams. Could look something like this:

When selecting a variable choice it would be great to have a way to quick jump to edit button to open the variables panel that is scrolled straight to the variable for quick navigation

I really miss the old modal that actively told me there are library updates, the current badge doesn’t stand out so i have to look for it. This means that UI has to tell me when they have made changes en creates more room for design debt.

Hi - I would like to be able to re-order and flex instances of a component, so if I have a dropdown list and I want A,B,C to change to C,B,A depending on the feature I dont want to have to break it or create new for that… likewise with fixed widths, sometimes not everything needs to be the same exact with; I use variables and min maxes (especially in tables) breaks things or makes it less flexible, so being able to just change the width in an instance would be amazing. PLEASE

add high five to non-FigJam workspaces

In Illustrator, if you delete a node on a path, remaining nodes on that same path get selected automatically, allowing you to press Delete to completely delete any inner/stray paths which saves you plenty of time. Meanwhile in Figma, you have to manually click on every remaining node on that inner path (unless you guys know of a better way to handle this?). I realize you could click and drag to create a selection box but it’s prone to error if the shape is very complex. Simple Illustrator example:

Hi, I’m not able to type the ellipsis character on any text as I usually do on my Mac. I usually use ‘cmd+.’ and I get ‘…’ quickly. I’ve seen this topic discussed in 2021 and there was no solution. Can it be made a request? It’s really annoying. I know I can resort to type three individual dots, but that is not the proper way, and I refuse to do it. Thanks.

Hello everyone! Following up my last post I propose that something like “only this word” be added to the search filter; I’m honestly quite baffled this is not yet possible to search for an exact word only! We often have instances of e.g. “Header” + “Header_small” in our projects; if we want to collectively select only “Header” it’s currently not possible through the search as “Header_small” will always also be in the results since it contains “Header”. This would be awesome and fix some busywork going through all the search results! 🙃 Edit: Alternatively, change “Match word” - I just checked again in the Firefox search and this is what had me confused in the beginning: in Firefox, “Match word” works like I described above; an exclusive search for that word, if the word is contained within another word it will NOT show up in the search (see screenshots). This is not how it works in Figma sadly 🥺

Seem like a lot of people use Figma to create “flows”, and this would be a lot easier if you could add an un-editable copy (a mirror) of a screen that keeps apprearing in a flow. True linear flows will show the same screen many times, and it sucks to have to make tiny changes to tons of screens.

Please add the ability to copy text from the component description. I write information there on the type of size, color, etc. It is difficult to rewrite it with your hands every time.

Unable to spot the ‘Appearance’ section in the right panel…

Paragraph spacing does not work on a list if it’s a text style. Paragraph spacing works for the normal style but it does not if it’s a text style… Please fix! Screenshot 1 shows when the paragraph spacing is working Screenshot 2 show when the paragraph spacing isn’t working
