Currently there is a huge limitation in prototyping possibilities because any dropdown menus appear underneath the following element in the autolayout flow. I can’t remove autolayout because it would break designs across all useage of design system components and we can’t properly demo prototypes. Anchored by the lack of a customizable z-index property.

We can connect a table with any other object in the FigJam using an arrow. But often I am trying to connect row items from a table with another table in FigJam. As soon as I make changes to table content the arrow don’t move. I would be nice to drop the source or destination end of arrow to a Row or column.

Managing local variables is pretty cumbersome and buried in menus. Bringing over the variable window found in Figma, would be big help in managing local variables.

I’d really like to be able to lock a layer, but continue to work on its child layers. This would be particularly useful when working within a layer within an auto-layout.

QOL feature request.I will never want AI in my workflow and it’s just kept being marketed to me which takes me out of the flow. It also gets very tedious to block these features one by one with a browser extension.It would be a very useful and friendly feature to make Figma account fully AI-free with a single toggle. I’d make it up to my team members if they want to use AI, so I wouldn’t make this a team/org level setting.

Could it be handsome to be able to extract a component from a design ?Because of our current process (no design system) we all do things similar a lot and it is a little difficult to produce a components library.Be able to extract a component directly form a design (with a direct replacement of what was extracted with corresponding instance) would be handsomely helping to build our design system more quickly.

The Check designs tool is really useful but I have one big problem with it. In some cases I have used items or colors outside the design system by intention, (annotations or information to the developer or business as the built in annotation is not visible for all). I would need to be able to ignore some design suggestions. Right now I can not use the check design function as only some of the suggestions actually applies. So, my suggestion is to either be able to ignore suggestions that aren’t correct or select those that you want to apply.

User groups in the admin panel currently get an auto-assigned icon (a generic people silhouette) and a randomly assigned background color. It would be great to have the option to customize both, similar to how workspaces already support custom icons and colors. Why it would help:- Makes groups easier to identify at a glance, especially for orgs with lots of groups- Lets teams align group visuals with their internal branding or team identity (e.g. a "Design" group with a design-related icon, a client team with the client's brand color)- Reduces the confusion of having group names and colors feel disconnected (a "Blue Team" showing up with a green icon, for example)

Hi Figma developers! It turns out that exporting Figma fonts in JSON format provides the result that looks smth like this: "style": { "fontFamily": "Quattrocento Sans", "fontPostScriptName": "QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic", "fontSize": 72, "fontWeight": 700, "italic": true, "letterSpacing": 0, "lineHeightPercent": 100, "lineHeightPx": 84.375, "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%", "textAlignHorizontal": "CENTER", "textAlignVertical": "CENTER" }, for a page like this: And we face the necessity to invent some special algorithms for knowing the actual style name (that is “Bold Italic” in the ex

Here’s the translation of your text into English: "The page and layer separators need improvement. Even though I create a lot of pages, every time the client wants to review the designs, they don’t realize that more pages have been created below. For example, maybe a slight fade effect could be added to the bottom of the pages to indicate that there are more pages below. Additionally, the separator between pages and the separator between pages and layers look very similar, making them hard to distinguish from one another."

I’ve run into a limitation with auto layout when working with components that use slots.Currently, the auto layout direction (horizontal/vertical) defined in the main component seems to be locked for any instances. When content is placed into a slot, it inherits that direction and there’s no way to override it locally at the instance level.This becomes restrictive in cases where the same structural component needs to adapt to slightly different layout contexts.Is there a technical reason why auto layout direction is fixed this way? For example, is it tied to how slots are implemented under the hood or how layout calculations propagate from the main component?It would be very useful to allow overriding the auto layout direction per slot.

hey Figma fam, so, we’ve been going on about this for ages, but seriously, when are we getting the “lock guides” feature? it’s 2024, and we’re still nudging guides by mistake 🙄 we all know the drill - you’re in the zone, designing away, and then oops, there goes your guide. it’s like playing a game of ‘spot the difference’ trying to get it back in place. super annoying. i mean, how many times do we need to ask, right? it’s a no-brainer feature that would make our lives so much easier. locked guides = no more accidental shifts. simple. let’s give it another shot. maybe if we all shout about it (again), Figma will finally listen and add it to their to-do list. who’s with me? catch ya later! flo

With the new beta introducing AI and the left rail, move the help fob in that left rail, and get it out of the way of the properties right panel.

Hi! I upgraded my Figma account from using the free version to the basic plan. Since I did that I can no longer switch to design mode when I could do that with my free account. Please can someone fix this asap. Otherwise I will downgrade my account.

Hi Figma, please add a feature where users can create a special type of frame within a component, so they can create instances of the component and then magically insert other instances or content into the special frame placement. Swapping instances works if we need to change one instance to another instance, but it is very limiting and essentially cripples Figma’s drag-n-drop design mentality. This feature would open up a world of opportunity for design systems to be much more scalable and effective.

Hi everyone, I’m a teacher using Figma in a design class. We’re currently working on retro-engineering design prompts. For example, “design Spotify on Game Boy Classic”. The “pixel preview” option is perfect for that while in design mode, however, it doesn’t seem to be available on prototypes. This is 1980, we don’t want super smooth x4 retina anti-aliasing here! Any idea how to enable “pixel preview” in prototype mode? Thanks so much in advance!

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.

When sharing, I would love to be able to specify a specific slide to link to. This will allow more fine tune sharing. If the url was appended with something like “slide-1” it would allow for us to create dynamic and easily editable links in our Airtable as well. We are using slides as a creative review workflow and this would help us tremendously!

Hi Figma team, I’d love to see more ways to organize tabs in Figma desktop app. I often have 10–15 tabs open, but I’m usually only actively working in 1–2 files and frequently jumping into a few design systems. The rest of the tabs are useful, but mostly for quickly checking something. When many tabs are open, it becomes hard to find the files I actually use all the time. It would be great to have more control over tabs — for example, pinning important files, marking current working files, grouping tabs, or showing design systems as compact icons instead of regular full-width tabs. Right now tabs feel a bit like browser tabs: they are just open, but I can’t really organize them around my workflow. Some simple customization would make it much easier to navigate between active files, design systems, and reference files. Thanks!

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The recent change that places component variables above X/Y and H/W settings, though well-intentioned, creates friction for users dealing with complex components and multiple variants. This shift results in vital inputs being moved around, and their location becomes inconsistent based on the number of variants. As someone who frequently optimizes design systems, I often manage components with up to 12 settings, including both the component and its children. I use X/Y and H/W inputs 3-5 times more frequently than I touch variants, making this new arrangement inefficient for my workflow. Returning to the previous, consistent logic would greatly improve usability. After all, consistency is key in design, and it’s especially important in a tool meant to empower designers.

There should be a direct export feature in figma to export PDS files. So that we can import the file in After Effects or in Canva and animate the layers because now we have to manually export in png or jpg file and again make the design in Photoshop or After Effects. I know there are some plugins but they are mostly Paid or not perfect in exporting the file. I would request to bring this feature in figma that will help all the motion graphics artists in their work.

   First of all, the new Chrome extension is amazing. One issue I've run into is with popups, dropdowns, notifications, tooltips, and other UI elements that disappear when you click elsewhere on the page.For example, I'll open a dropdown menu or notification panel that I want to capture, but as soon as I click the Figma extension's capture button, the popup closes before the capture is taken. This makes it difficult to capture many common UI states that are important when recreating or analyzing interfaces.It would be great if the extension could support something like:A keyboard shortcut to trigger capture A short capture timer (e.g., capture in 3–5 seconds) A way to freeze the current page state before capturing

We often need multiple versions of a single design that just have a different images. To do this in bulk in Figma Buzz currently, we would need to add the images to a spreadsheet, export to .xlsx and upload to Buzz. This is not faster than just adding each image to a Figma design.We would like to see added functionality built into Figma Buzz so that we can upload multiple images at once in the ‘bulk create’ section in order to create multiple iterations of the same design just with different images.We can see this working for designs that require multiple images as well – in the same way that Buzz allows us to assign columns of a spreadsheet to elements of a design, each image in a design could have its own multi-image upload button.This would speed up SO many tedious tasks!

Every time I open a file, comments are visible and I have to hide them manually with Shift+C. There's no way to set this once and forget it. A simple toggle in account preferences — just like the light/dark theme switch — would be perfect. Set it once, and comments stay hidden by default across all files.Also, visible comments noticeably slow things down, especially on older machines. Hiding them by default would make Figma feel much snappier day-to-day.

Figma, you guys are really cooking with the AI features. It's making workflow really, really special and I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. As I'm using it though, I'm seeing that there are some bottlenecks. I have a couple of ideas. I have a simple idea and a more complex one maybe for the future. The first one is simply just a prompt history where after you generate an image, you can see somewhere the original prompt that you used to generate that image. Many times when I need to iterate on a generation and I go back to edit the prompt, I can't find the prompt anywhere. I’ve started to copy the prompts that I write out and paste them into a text box every time I generate an image because I don't want to lose the prompt. I feel like it's a simple thing that would really improve the workflow. The second idea, and this one is a little bit more complex, but I think it's right in line with what you're moving towards, is prompt components with variables. So just like we hav
