There are so many options for Figma presentation settings. It would be great if we could save our default presentation preferences.

Similar to the current option to mark a section as ‘Ready for dev’, it would be great if we could easily mark sections or pages with changeable statuses, such as ‘WIP’, ‘In design’, ‘AB Testing’, etc., rather than manually applying emojis in the page name. This could be implemented into the ‘ready for dev’ dropdown menu on a section, and then the status is also indicated in the page name with an icon. Additionally, it would be beneficial if these statuses were customizable to suit different companies’ needs.

With the new addition of dev mode, it’s really bugging me that designers can mark things as ready for development, yet developers cannot “respond”. I’ve seen a fair share of plugins that allow you to mark top-level components/frames with this really large preset component, but as a developer, I cannot apply this status myself due to lack of write access. With write access however, it would be more useful to create custom status components/icons that we could use as internal indicators that deprecate the need for external status plugins. I would really love to see Figma create additional statuses within dev mode, that help devs keep track of individual component status. For example, we have a page dedicated to Iconography, and it’s hard to keep track of which icons are implemented, which are new, etc. It’s unfortunate since status of development may be best marked in a PM tool such as JIRA, but it is the case that: It takes too long to create tickets for each component tickets become o

With the UI3 update, the frequently used corner radius field completely breaks my flow. It is always positioned in a different spot depending on what you have selected. Previously no matter what you have selected the corner radius was always at the top near the rotation input. Now it’s not even possible to set a shortcut for this field using tools like BetterTouchTool because it needs to click in a specific spot. So you have to visually search through the array of similar looking input fields trying to find where the corner radius is. This takes multiple seconds for me every time I want to change corner radius. This way it’s impossible to build muscle memory to quickly press this field — muscle memory works by doing the same action, not searching through the entire column first. At the very least offer a native shortcut to enter corner radius so I have a quick way to set it.

Need to collapse all assets by one action. For example like in ‘Layers’ it could be done by Option+L. So why I can’t do it in ‘Assets’?

Problem Currently you can’t use color styles in other styles like grid or effect styles. However this is very helpful for building design systems. Otherwise when changing a color that is used in effect styles you have to manually change it in all effect styles (which is a lot of work and can lead to bugs by forgetting it). Solution One possible solution would be to allow us to use color styles within the other styles. Am I the only person who feels this pain or do others run into this as well?

I love the new UI3! However, finding the active tab is a bit challenging. The active tab is only distinguished by a blue icon instead of a grey one, and the text is black instead of dark grey. Could you consider making the icon filled or coloring the entire tab blue to improve visibility?

It will be helpful to if there an option to change **scoping for grouped variables and overall collection **

Screen-sharing design presentations suck. The low frame rate, low resolution and small screen size ruin the care you’ve put into the design. It makes spending time on slides/prototypes animation useless. As of now you can send the presentation link, but people unfamiliar with Figma (like clients, executives, devs) don’t really get the follow/spotlight interaction. It would be great if we could have a way to: Lock on following the presenter Disable prev/next controls for viewers. Basically put people in front of a presentation, without any work on their side required to understand new concepts or models.

Hi everyone… I recently worked on a couple of video game UI, and I realised that would be awesome to have the option to add sound to animations / transitions. It would be useful to have it as ‘‘behaviour’’ into the existing component animation feature For example: On Click → play sound XXXX And also to attach a sound to a frame, as it gets triggered when, in prototype mode, you navigate to a new frame. For example: Screen 1 —> navigate to → screen 2 ( sound played ). That would make game prototypes much more complete and realistic! Right now, I need to record the interaction and edit / adding sound in a motion/video software.

Love slides! Great addition. One thing I noticed is when I copy a bunch of slides into a new slide project the order in which I originally copied them changed. I wish they’d stay in the same order In which they were copied or introduce the ability to “duplicate project” from within a slides project.

Our team had a download session about this year’s Config. Live Interactions stood out to me the most, considering I’m often in alignment sessions with business partners. The problem: Remote Share As much as they enjoy our fun decks and interactive prototypes, these partners aren’t the most tech-savvy. Working in enterprise also means people are working from different OSs, often set in their ways too. Moving people from Adobe Connect to Zoom was a 2 quarter effort in 2023. We present via Zoom — utilizing these Live Interactions is going to be a really messy process: “Please open the Figma link to follow our presentation!” “Are you not sharing on Zoom?? How do we get there” “Oh it’s in the meeting invite” “Uhhh… okay hold on (wait for 12 people to get to it)” “Can someone send me the link?” “Yeah let me try… Do we have a chat for [insert epic that’s on and off every month and doesn’t have a group chat]?” Obviously, there was a decision made by the Figma team here to make Slides the place

Minor enhancement request, big fan of Figma. Scenario: I have dozens of comments in a project. I’m reviewing them with the folks who build our design system. Click the comment icon in header to show all comments in right panel. Select a comment in right panel, takes me to that page/comment. On that page I esc out of “comment mode” to tweak the component we’re looking at. When I click the comment icon in the header again it displays the top of the list of comments. If I have dozens of comments in a project that means I have to scroll down a lot to get back to the comment where we left off. Could the comment panel scroll be maintained?

It is recommended to add a label function to the design draft list, use labels to manage our design drafts, combine the collection and search functions, and add the label function to make it more convenient for users to manage design drafts.

most of the times when i want to click on go to component, I just want to have a look and then come back (to locate it, for instance). but then I need to find where I was before in the file. I want to have the option to just have a glimpse on it with the option to return, OR edit it.

Hey, guys, we can push overrides to main component from an instance, all right. But why can’t we push the changes you made in the compontent into all instances. I mean, let’s say you changed something in the main component, but if that aspect is already somehow defined in the instance, the instance wouldn’t change! It’s kind of insane, do you know what I mean? I mean the component’s main purpose is for us to be able to just work with component, and the instances must change accordingly on the fly, by themselves. But in this system it does not work this way. We need a ‘Reset overrides on all instances’ option, to be able to push reset all instances from a single click, from the main component right-clicking. Thank you!

Autolayouts have 3 aligment options (left/top, center and right/bottom), but I would find it useful if I could reposition an element as I wish. The case is this: I can’t reposition the cancel icon as I wish, which makes it misaligned. The only way I can go about it giving that icon an autolayout of itself, which seems useless and makes my structure bloated. Could this be an added feature?

In Figma, user and role management should be more valued. Assigning and managing a user role plays plays a crucial part in ensuring effective collaboration and seamless workflow within design projects. By properly managing users and roles, teams can maintain organization, efficiency, and clarity. User and role management in Figma is important for the following reasons: Access Control: Assigning specific roles to team members helps control access to project files and restricts editing permissions. Collaboration: Clear user management allows for streamlined collaboration among team members. Project Organization: By assigning roles and permissions, teams can establish structure within projects. Variations for Enhanced Functionality: Features like adding tags to identify individuals or grouping users together simplify user management further. Assigning tags for competency or specific roles allows for quick identification and easy communication with the right team members. Efficie

Hello, how do you remove the default icon libraries from newly created slides? They pollute the component popover, and will confuse new/casual Figma users in the company into using the wrong icons

As our product grows and the design system and its tokens grow, we are finding ourselves in a position where the choice of variable is often not clear-cut. The management of a vast array of similar variables slows down our workflow and often ends up with the wrong variable being used and referenced in code. Part of this might be due to the tokens getting out of hand but it would be really great if there was a way of identifying the usage of variables to see which ones don’t get used that often and which ones are never used. This way we could merge variables, delete them, etc. Going a step further, being able to scope to components or files where certain variables are used would be helpful too. I know there is a design system analytics feature in the organization tier that we will soon be upgrading to when dev mode comes out of beta but I don’t know if this already exists in some form there.

Managing local styles would be a lot less tedious if option-clicking the disclosure triangles would open or close all of the nested folders contained in a folder. This is how disclosure triangles in layers list works. They should work the same way. Without that feature, I’m constantly having to manually close each one because Figma decides sometimes that they should all be open. Maybe there’s a way to make it work now. If there is, I couldn’t find it.

Whenever I send to page it seems to go into the middle of nowhere on the page, super annoying to scroll around and try to find it. Please create a way for me send directly to a “Section” on page! Quick win and easy fix. User flow Right click > Send to page > Select page > Selection section on page from list

PROBLEM: There is no way to create an accordion or collapsible menu without endless duplicate pages FIX: If you could show/hide objects, groups, components, you could easily create a collapsible section, which if used within an auto layout with fill container would resize nicely. There are so many uses for this kind of behaviour. Whole components (like a left nav) could be setup with default behaviour that would just work where they were placed, without the need for complex prototyping.

It would be so sick to be able to select multiple photos and give them the same edits

at the moment there are only Current name / Number up / Number down variables when batch renaming frames. Can we get a frame size variable so it auto includes the frame size
