Suggest a Feature

Please allow device orientation change from Portrait to Landscape when viewing a prototype with a device. This would help with presentations emmensely.

Would be nice to have the possibility to “lock” main branch from editors changes. To force that all changes have to go by “Pull requests”. By this way you have a clean workflow when there are a lot of people working on the libraries.

AI is all very good, but I’d like to be able to style text decoration on links, such as the line weight, offset, dotted or dashed, etc. At the moment, it seems that you can’t, for some reason. In the software everyone uses to make digital designs.

Background: As an agency owner, I am concerned about project security while working remotely with my design team. I worry that my designers may duplicate our Figma projects on their personal accounts. Idea: To address this, I request that Figma add a feature that allows owners to restrict the duplication of projects. This will help maintain control and confidentiality in our work. Thanks!

In the old UI, you could easily use the ‘select matching layers’ option or the ‘create component’ options without having to jump from Prototype to Design and back. This makes it more complicated. The rulers used to be closer to the canvas (inside of the layers panel) but now it is at the far left of the screen which is a pain. Also, the fact that the layers and properties panels are floating with ‘space’ between the left and right margins makes the background in that space really distracting. It would also be really handy to have keyboard shortcuts for ‘make multiple components’. Can we also have ‘add multiple autolayout’ to several selected frames at once without actually linking them together in one autolayouted frame (similar to multiple components) - with matching keyboard shortcut.

We really like the changelog displayed on the Ready for Dev page. It’s a great place for our developers to track changes we’re making to designs, and the ability to add notes helps a lot. There is one pain point that makes it frustrating to use. Any change we make to a section changes the Ready for Dev status to a yellow pending status. Sometimes these changes are just layer reordering or renaming for improving visual presentation, with no affect to the actual component(s) that developers or others designers need to be made aware of. When we complete the “Done with changes” step, it adds a new activity at the top of the changelog and causes confusion with developers who are asking what was changed. This also pushes the changes that we do want developers to know about down the changelog. Please introduce a way to either: Return to the green “Ready for Dev” status without it creating a changelog activity Hide specific activities from the changelog Our current workaround is to put a not

Team pricing plans are extremely inconvenient for freelancers. Case: I am a freelance designer and I want to share my project with a freelance developer. For us to work in the same file with editing rights (and dev mode), one of us must invite the other to the team and pay for additional editor. And it’s not a “small team”, we are still freelancers. And this is just one case, freelancers work with other freelancers: designers with illustrators, designers with developers, even developers with developers. They don’t need to create a team, they need to work on one project and split up. Personal plans would allow freelancers to work without restrictions and incomprehensible additional fees.

Our team has implemented semantic/component tokens however it has been pretty frustrating for us not to be able to investigate the original primitive token that it is pulling from. Most of our component colors are just named after the component and so when creating new styles it becomes hard to copy what other components are doing. I wish there was a way to investigate the token to see basically the info that is in the local variables panel at the source.

If I move a configuration of shapes and words, and then realize it’s not what I want, I can’t undo and go back to how I had it set up. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

Hi there! I’ve been trying out the ‘Suggest auto layout’ feature in the editor and I’m absolutely delighted with it. Kudos to the team 😋 This led me to think that it’d be incredibly helpful to have something similar while working with the Plugin API. Maybe it could be possible to add a method to FrameNode that suggests which layoutMode option to define later? I’d love to hear what others think about this idea. Best regards!

Please.

I’ve noticed that even in Dev Mode, properties for a dashed stroke do not show in the CSS or properties panel. For example, say you have this path: Suggestion I’d love to see the properties for some of the following (or something similar for free Viewers): <line stroke-linecap="round" stroke-dasharray="4 6"/> Context Currently, only the colors and thickness are displayed.

Mousewheel works perfect in desktop prototypes when we allow vertical or horizontal classic scrolling… But Is it possible to have mouse wheel UP/ mouse wheel DOWN interactions when scrolling is off. Imagine when scrolling is turned off to have the option to use mouse wheel to interaction between pages with Smart Animate. (eg. SlideIn/SlideOut with mouse wheel) It would be great and will opens the door more for pseudo scrollable pages with custom animations and paralax effects… So the idea is When scrolling is ON, then MOuseWheel Interaction should be grayed out(non-active), when scrolling is OFF - to have ability to use mouse wheel Up/Down as an interaction. WHat do you think?

It seems that FigJam connector lines copied over to Figma treat all component instances as if they were ‘flat’ objects. This means that connector lines won’t snap to any layers within a component instance (but will snap to layers inside the main component). There is a workaround (holding Cmd key when dragging) but the connector line won’t snap unless the top-level component is detached. What could be useful for many wireframing tasks is being able to connect specific layers within component instances (as component instances are helpful in making flows more digestible for colleagues and testers) Here’s a graphic trying to explain where the issue lies:

I am managing access of 80+ people to the one large file. I need to be able to enter list of the emails and select “remove” in the same way as I can Share Edit, Share View. Please.

It’d be cool if there was an option to display the connector line as organic (vs straight or squared currently), as they are easier to read on more complex mapping.

We used slides to build a deck that we send out to job candidates as an outreach document. Ideally we would like to get feedback from candidates, but don’t want them to see what others answered.

Where i get the new Figma config 24? i have request waiting list for a few month ago

I see this question has been asked before, but I’m wondering if anything has changed (looks like it was last asked in 2022). Say I have a master component containing 4 separate ‘blocks,’ with each block including an icon, body copy and a link. If I instert an instance of that component in my design, I know that I can easily delete one of the blocks and the component will adjust with no issues, but what if I want to add in say a 5th block…are we still unable to do that?

Figma is supporting Gravatar for the default avatar. There are two new features Gravatar recently launched, that could enhance the current experience. Full disclosure, I am from Automattic, and I am working on the Gravatar project team. New Gravatar API - Profile as a service The new Gravatar API supports more than just avatar images based on an email address. It enhances user profiles, simplifies onboarding, and personalizes user experiences. For example, in Figma, it could - for users that have a Gravatar profile - pre-fill profile information like name, location, “about me,” verified social media links, and more. Gravatar Quick Editor This new feature could simplify how Figma users update their avatars and profile data via Gravatar. The new Quick Editor allows users to directly edit and manage their Gravatar profiles within third-party platforms. The experience is similar to using a familiar payment service provider like PayPal or Stripe. Users click on a link, authenticate their ac

I need this desperately. We document all of process in Figma, so I need to keep old versions without updates so we can see the progress on the project. I would like to be able to apply component updates to a specific Figma page, not everywhere!!

Create your own Windows application. At the moment, Figma only works over the Internet, which greatly impacts performance, especially on older computers. Essentially this is the same browser, only with a closed address bar. There is no point in downloading the full desktop version if it is no different from the web version. Please make a full-fledged native application that will work better than the web version. Thank you for your attention!

When using auto layout the new UI update has moved the current width and height of a selected object to behind a hover state. Width and height only accessible via the hover state of the auto layout types (fixed, hug, fill). I often use the actual W and H of elements as a sense check for ensuring the design works within our design system. Please bring back the independent readings.

I decided to try out the beta to give some feedback on a design. I want to point an arrow from a sticky note to the back button in this screenshot (using screenshots bc we are auditing a deployed project): But it looks like the end of the arrow is locked to the edge of the image. I come from Miro. In Miro, you are able to point an arrow to the inside of an image / element. It will still snap to the edge, but when you drag further, it will un-snap.

Hello. Recently, I’ve been using my laptop with a small monitor and have noticed some issues affecting my workflow. I’ve recorded a video to demonstrate the problem - https://files.fm/f/z2n7ugrkmz . It concerns the color panel when selecting gradient colors. Each time I click on a color, I need to drag the color panel to the right, away from the layout. However, when I click on the second color, the panel jumps back to its original position, and I have to move it again. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if the panel remembered the position where the user initially placed it? This would be very helpful. Constantly moving the panel is quite annoying, especially when working within a single gradient. Please consider updating the panel to make it more convenient for those of us working on laptops. Thank you!
