Configure Prototype Links Settings in Figma Editor

It would be great if you can pre-set the variables for viewing in the Editor where you can copy the starting FLOW Link, like a accordion showing the settings. I create full width presentation links and this is almost impossible to share, without editing the link manually, especially if there are start-up animations, as the share button will share the wrong starting point in the animation and then the client complains that the animation wasn’t shown. Now I have to copy the link from the starting FLOW area Paste it into an editor Change the url params “scaling=scale-down-width” Add the “&hide-ui=1” Copy the link & Test Share the link if its correct That’s a really roundabout way to get links out to clients? At least XD has a setup area where you can specify how the link should work and also allowed you to rename the link to something other than the filename - which in Figma doesn’t include the name of the prototype flow.

Anchor Comments While You Continue to Edit Your Designs

Problem: At our agency, we are using Figma to work collaboratively with our clients. We open files to them at specific moments during the design process in order for them to leave great amounts of feedback as comments. Some of these comments are about changing a bunch of values (e.g. transaction prices from a banking app). It should be easy to change them, but every time you want to change a value based on a specific comment, you have to close comment mode, so you have to go back and forth to comment mode to see the feedback. Idea: it would be great to pin the file’s comments to the window or as a floating pane while you are not on comment mode. Goal: improve workflow and productivity. I know you could have two windows of the same file open, one with the comments active and the other one to edit, but you’d still have to go back and forth between tabs. If you have two screens, then that’s no problem, but I think this idea could bring value our workflows. What do you think?

Add a loading Feedback when adding Images/video

Hello, i just tried to add 20 images in my Figma File. Nothing happend when I drop them, i thought it was a bug or they where drop somewhere else, so i retry. And again nothing happend. I finally understand that i had to wait like 20 sec for them to load and be visible on my file. I think a simple loading feedback would be welcome to avoid user misunderstandig when adding images/video in a Figma file.

Changing a Named Color - Isn't this a little much?

This is all the UIs that pop-up when you want to change a color. Sometimes there isn’t even space left behind to actually pick the color 🤯 Somehow compact this. All these fly-outs isn’t very easy to use.

We need to update glyphs set category in figma

I am unable to find the glyphs set in particular fonts in Figma. I understand you can download glyph plugins, but they seem to be random glyphs not associated with the font, so the plugins are not what I am looking for.

Granular Version History

I know this data exists so why can I not view version history on a page by page or component by component history? Sometimes we get weird changes that no one on the team recalls making. Maybe it was a mistake? Maybe it was a merge conflict that was difficult to deduce? Who knows. We noticed something unintentionally changed and we want to track down when it changed, ideally, on a component basis (My team manages a design system) so we can learn what happened and take steps to prevent it from happening again. How I see this potentially working is selecting a component, or even variant of, and viewing its individual history via the property panel. It could just be dates there like we see in the file’s history panel, but then allow me to dig deeper and use something like the merge resolution UI to visually compare the current version to a selected historical version. Basically, similar to what we see in Dev Mode. Current version history capabilities are super generic, tedious to use, and

My own requests for the next "Little Big Updates" (LBU) for Figma!

Hello Figma Community and Figma Team! I loved our last video for LBU and it inspired me to compile this list of things that I find are really beneficial to have in Figma and to teams in general. Please see the 17 new ideas below and feel free to contact me if there are things that need more explaining. 🙏 1. FigJam: Have the option to count all the Stamps without having a Voting Poll active, I do find it hard to track all our stamps and it tends to get messy when doing polls as sometimes we miss some stamps not being counted. 2. Variables: Have the option to move a Group to another Collection, PLEASE ADD THIS ONE 3. Text Tool: Having the ability to type text on paths 4. Component Properties: Having the option to allow a nested/child component to be duplicated within the main component. A good example is forms with multiple text fields 5. Variables: Having support for Padding in numbers 6. Text Styles: If I have a text style applied to a paragraph with regular weight if I highlig

The web app icon is not as high quality as the native app icon

This goes for all web apps actually. But my guess is that it’s a simple change to fix that…

Locked frames - make this more visible

When you lock a layer, the editor should show a lock icon next to the frame so that it is easy to spot if a frame is locked. Additionally, the icon can be a toggle (like “Ready for Dev”) so that people can unlock and lock without digging through the well-named layers that we designers clearly do 🙂

Add: multi-line text line height settings; Optimizing Local Variables in Design

The settings for line height and paragraph spacing. These features are very effective for single-line text editing but can be inadequate when dealing with multi-line texts, especially in the design of documents or user interfaces. This is particularly true for scenarios that require fine-tuning line heights for multiple lines of text. I suggest that the Figma team consider adding a ‘Multi-line Text Line Height Setting’ feature. This would allow users to set line heights individually for multi-line texts, thus providing greater customization and flexibility. As it stands now, the font variable seems clunky

Style library swap

Hi all, I work on a design system team as part of design ops. we run a hybrid design system model so product teams actually manage their own theme libraries with our “template” library. current behavior in Figma: insert a global comp swap global theme lib to brand theme lib insert a new global comp swap theme lib again just so this new comp can have the brand colors problem statement as a des ops person, I want Figma style library swap to match by all styles rather than just visible styles in a file, so that when a new comp is inserted there is no need to swap styles library again. potential solutions as brainstorm: link all styles via ID or some kinda of meta data in addition to the name (name still need to match otherwise we create communication gaps on brands using their own styling names)

Branching - Option to ignore specific change(s)

I’m having issues while merging a branch some edits that I might have done by mistake (eg deleting a page) it’s not possible to ignore the edit and revert to the original content. The feature, I’m requesting is like having a history of different pages / section.

Local variables: missing features

Ability to copy, move, and swap (re-link) Quality tool Having a tool to evaluate unassigned surfaces for variables would be beneficial. It would aid in determining the closest variable color that can be assigned to them.

We need the tables

auto layout is very cool, but its functionality is limited. It would be really cool to have a table so that in each cell you can insert an object, text or picture, whatever you want. And for each cell to have its own independent alignment.

Local variables: conceptual map

Using alias variables: Creating a conceptual map of variables would benefit both designers and developers. Conceptual maps serve as an excellent visual aid to illustrate connections. In the development phase, when checking colors in DEV mode, developers at the moment not have a clear view of how variable structures are organized.

Don't cover up the description when searching the publish assets panel

When I click ‘publish assets’ and then use the search to narrow down what to publish, the search covers up the description sneakily, and I always forget that I have to close the search to add a description. Sometimes, I click ‘Publish’ thinking there is a next step—after all, that’s what I did to get to the step where I can add a description. But no, it actually publishes. I tried to cancel…but it didn’t work. And I can’t add a description retroactively. Please make this experience less susceptible to human error.

HTML Elements

I would love for Figma to know about the basic HTML elements. This has been suggested before (HTML elements, CSS layouts). I really enjoy how the UX world is moving away from using graphic design tools (I started with photoshop, personally), and towards more integrated workflows. I also understand that using graphic primitives (lines, rectangles, circles) makes Figma more versatile and usable for other UI technologies… But it also generates quite a bit of pain in my everyday UX live. Handing designs off to devs is made much harder because we will always have to explicitely discuss the mapping from Figma rectangle to HTML button/input/section, or else include some type of documentation. In multiple projects, I’ve seen different cumbersome ways of doing this: comments, naming layers so that they correspond to HTML elements, or adding tables with documentation under each frame in Figma. It also means we need to teach UX designers enough HTML so they don’t think up things that can’t be imp

Add blendMode and opacity properties for SectionNode

In the Figma editor, you can change the blend mode and opacity for Sections. But blendMode and opacity properties is missing in both Plugin API and REST API, so it is not possible to read/write it. Please add these properties to the SectionNode object.
