Option to use nested (objects with) variables. Big need! Every tutorial about variables you watch skips using button states 🙂 Variable Window option to search (if you have a lot of variables) Scalable columns (if variable names or strings are too long) show if variable is used (good to know when you want to clean up your mess) Popup bigger Window please Being able to copy from the variables Popup to another popup (like it is already possible in the right column) Tootltip for (long)variable names

The tab favicon colors (blue, purple, orange) are grayscale when not hovered. It would be nice if we could see the colors without hovering to identify which tab is which type of Figma file.

In the previous UI I could see the new height of an auto layout layer when changing the padding. In UI3 I cannot. I would love to see the effect on the dimensions when playing with the padding.

I’ve submitted a few ideas at this point, and also found some ideas while searching that frankly feel like they should be base functionality… They didn’t get much traction with votes, and were closed after the 90 day mark. It seems REALLY hard to get suggestions actually recognized by the development team within that timeline. Not trying to stir up anything, and I know the devs have a lot going on, but… can we get it lengthened? Or have a reopen button?

I have several frames that I want to tag them as “Ready for dev”, but I have to do it in each of them individually. Is there any way?

Hey! When editing vectors, diagonal blue lines appear. I know this is intended behavior, but in some people (including me) these lines make them physically sick. As for me, I had terrible nausea after ~ 5 min of editing vectors, and my eyes still haven’t gone back to normal while writing this ( ~ 3 min later). An option to disable these lines, just like there’s an option to disable the pixel grid, would be great. Thanks.

Hello! Imagine you create a collection 1 which has 2 modes (mode x, mode y). The mode y in collection 1 is connected to collection 2 with Modes. Logically, Collection 2 is only worth to show in the appearence/layer menu when I changed my component mode to mode y. Unfortunately I see collection 2 even mode x is chosen, which doesn’t have any effect to my component when mode x is selected.

As of now smart animate take all the elements from one page to another and animates them from 0 to 100% all at the same time. Of course, multiple separate “after delay” allow to simulate asynchronous animations allowing to trigger multiple animations at a different time. This method, while being effective, is tedious and sometimes difficult to maintain since it’s a bit difficult to read those lists : Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to have a window that allows us to animate objects with a timeline. To keep it simple, only the moving elements would appear, so for example if you only animate a square and a round. They show up in the timeline and you have the possibility of deciding which moves first…

It would be great to have such an option to generate random numbers to use them later in expressions. So you could for example randomly shuffle card items, or position of element in the prototype. Another use case is generating phone numbers, avatar names or even messages from a group of ready text groups.

The idea is to stop all the connectors that are on the same side of the shapes from crumbling into each other. And it should look like this: And the control behaviour that I am imagining is like this: (Notice how it snaps to a point that is near, but not on the magnet.) I hope this has conveyed my idea 😛 Thank you for reading!

Any shortcut keys would be good approach.

In order to take responsiveness to the next level it would be great if an “On resize” interaction could be added. This interaction could “conditionally” set the “Variable mode” in order to change font size and weight when resizing a frame. Therefore it would be great to have a “system variable” available that can be used in expressions, which represents the “width” and “height” of the frame that is being resized. This way we can use the new typographic variables much more and we don’t need any additional plugins of complex setup to achieve the same level of responsiveness.

Component sets are tough to work with iteratively because you can’t undo them without losing your animation work.

It would be awesome if Figma made it possible to embed other third-party tools like Typeform, Calendly, and various scheduling tools, survey tools. I imagine that would be an easy thing to implement? Could be way off…

Workflow will be much faster if we have a filter for color library with groups created while defining variables/styles If they can be defined in groups while creating those variables why can’t we filter the list of all the colors by those groups. For example, I have one collection of base colors and then I have a design palette collection with color token defined for text, button, bg, outline,etc. I see all of them together and have to scroll to find required group or search by name. If there is a filter inside of a library to filter the list by each group of variables/styles getting to required colors will be faster and less irritating.

If a library has spacing tokens, it would be great to be able to apply those in autolayout so that I don’t have to go retroactively apply those tokens after suggest auto-layout has been applied. Figma would round to the nearest token. Even if this was incorrect, it makes it easier to go in and select the next closest token.

We would like to be able to take our icon repository, which we manage in Figma, and export it as a slide presentation (PPT) in such a way that other employees can use the icons individually by saving/copying the icon from the PPT and use it either in another presentation deck or other purpose they need. Something similar to the Pitchdeck plugin. This is a specific use case but this would also be great for us to create presentations in Figma and export them for employees to use as a presentation externally to Figma.

Being able to collapse each UI panel independently was extremely helpful! Ideally I could Hide the central toolbar with a shortcut (maybe [ ctrl + \ ] ) as well. Loving UI3 – bravo!!!

There should be an option or shortcut (preferably Alt + L) to expand/collapse all nested views in the assets panel simultaneously. I just tried the iOS 18 design kit today and discovered that all its nested views in the assets panel were expanded, making the search for components daunting and leaving me with no other option than to use the search field. But how can I search for a component if I don’t know its name? Figma, please!!!

I really enjoy the new UI of hiding the tool panels to reduce distractions from Layers panel in most of time. But I figure out the Pages panel is way more frequent to be used than the previous one. I would recommend adding HOVER interaction to display the Pages panel even the whole panel for a temporary selecting, just like how most Notes software does with sidebar.

💡 I’d love to have the option to use a color picker for post-its on the FigJam. This feature would allow users to select different colors for their post-its, making it easier to categorize and organize information visually. Has anyone else thought about this or found a workaround? 👀

Hi, Awesome Config update 😃 Today, the toggle to active AI is a “all or nothing” option. In the context of a large org, we would benefit to have the same granularity as the plugins one with the ability to enable it for a particular workspace (to test it beforehand giving it to the entire company). The current way to manage it is very restrictive and it’s nearly impossible to deploy it in a controlled way. Thank you! Marc

It’d be awesome if I can add/edit presenter notes while I’m in the presentation mode. Having to switch back and forth when I’m preparing for a presentation kinda breaks the flow. Thanks! Setu

The new page dividers are nice… much better looking than the empty page approach many of us have been using. However, a simple horizontal rule lacks the context our former approach offered us. I would love to see nested pages in addition to these dividers to allow for cleaner file organization to communicate the context for the items in a given group of pages.

Creating presenters notes is not very intuitive. Took me minutes to find it.
