When working with more complex auto-layouts in Figma, I find myself accidentally changing frames/instances from Fill to Fixed or Hug by double clicking on the edge. In some cases I don’t catch myself and only discover later that parts of a prototype are not responsive. Is there a way to disable this or change the behavior to require a key modifier or something? 

ProblemCurrently, there’s no way to bind the Flex Direction property (horizontal / vertical) to a variable or boolean condition. This makes it impossible to dynamically switch layouts inside a component using variables or modes. Designers are forced to create duplicate components or manually toggle the direction. Proposed SolutionAllow flexDirection to be controlled via a variable or boolean property, similar to how alignment, spacing, and padding can already be managed.Example syntax:flexDirection = isVertical ? "VERTICAL" : "HORIZONTAL" Expected Benefits  Enables adaptive, single-source components without duplicates. Improves token-driven and responsive design workflows. Makes component logic consistent with existing variable bindings.   Priorit

The issue being faced today:I want to have preferred values only show up under the instance swap feature. Not searchable in the assets panel, as these are typically sub-components that I don’t want to be used on their own (examples: a dropdown menu used in a global navigation component, the vector for an icon used to instance swap in an actual icon component to control the sizes via icon properties, a single segment used inside a donut chart, pre-configured links or buttons commonly used inside a bigger component to make it easier to select from a pre-set). Why this isn’t possible:Unpublished and hidden components are treated the same in Figma. Hiding/unpublishing a component in Figma is currently the only way for it to not show up in the assets panel. Hiding/unpublishing a preferred value leads to additional issues: Preferred values cannot be selected by library consumers if they are unpublished. Preferred values

When setting up variable groups for modes, you may need all the same structure (all be it with renamed variable names) I find my self copying a group of number variables then using the same structurce want to apply strings to them (example h1, h1, h3), what would realy help is the ability to convert a group of variables from number to string and back again if need be.

Hi, please make Figma remember my choice when I pick “show as list”. Better still, put it in the Settings. Thanks.  

Include a search bar in the Library analytics panel to rapidly select a component without having to scroll through the list of components.

Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!

Amazing new tool this Figma Buzz, especially for content teams.However, we can’t find an easy way to create social media carousels. Is there a carousel feature or a setting to remove the grid gap? That will be much appreciated.Thank you Giada - Vitamina Studio

Hi Figma team,I recently created a Figma site for my app and really love the experience.However, I need to upload a file called app-ads.txt to the root of my domain. This file is required by AdMob to verify ownership of the app and allow us to display ads.Is there any way to host or upload this file directly in a Figma site?Thanks in advance!

Some context: I work as an interaction designer in an enterprise org, but I am the only UXer in my business unit (and my country, as it happens). I work with the company’s core UX team, but I'm not part of that team - I’m part of a specific product’s dev team.Our core UX team maintain a component library, which I can (and do) use… but can’t edit - which is fair.  Unfortunately, the product I work on is an outlier and has a lot of unique needs.  I also maintain my own component library for things which are completely unique to this product… that all works well.What doesn’t work so well is when I need a custom variant of a component from the core team’s library.  I don’t need (or want) a whole new component, or the maintenance overhead of maintaining a local branch of their entire component library (if I even can without having write-access to it) - I just need to be able to add (for example) a single new variant to a library componen

Would love if there was a animate like the line draw animation in Keynote. It’s the one thing that’s still missing that I used to use in Keynote.

ProblemWhen building larger prototypes in Figma Make, it’s easy for structure to drift — especially across pages or collaborators. For example, the navigation or layout might get accidentally edited or slightly misaligned, breaking visual consistency. RequestAdd the ability to lock sections or turn them into reusable components. This would make it possible to:  Lock a navigation bar or footer so it can’t be moved or edited accidentally. Define a reusable page layout (e.g., header + sidebar + content area) that stays consistent across all pages. Quickly update all instances when a layout or component changes.   Why it mattersThis would save time, reduce errors, and make multi-page prototypes in Figma Make feel more structured and scalable—especially for teams us

Often in my designs I need to provide fork for flow to go one way or another depending on conditions. When I use If/ Else and add Navigate to - the dropdown is not ordered alphabetically. I’m not sure what it was ordered on if on anything. It makes it really hard to find what frame I want to navigate to in according condition.If I start typing I can find a frame but due to the mess of not aphabetically ordered and a lot of frames that might start with same few letters this is not much help.Could we have actual search (Typeahead dropdown) instead or at least order it please alphabetically?  

Been playing around with the “expose nested properties” feature currently in beta. One of the great uses of variant properties is the ability to batch edit property values on multiple selected components. That use doesn’t carry over to exposed nested properties (yet I hope). Demo file to help When selecting one component instance exposing nested properties, said properties display fine. Add another instance of the same component to your selection (using Shift+Click), and the nested properties outright disappear from the right panel. I haven’t seen this issue raised elsewhere! Do you experience it too?

Yellow attention banner - why must the whole organisation see this? Can the message be only shown to admins and not the whole team as we are flooded with emails and chat messages about it plus you can see the email addresses and the names of the responsible persons. We suggest to not annoy the whole team with this.

Feature Request: Per-user layout guidesCurrently, all guides in a Figma file are shared across collaborators. When multiple people work in the same file, guides overlap and create clutter.Request: Allow each user to have private guides that only they can see, with the option to toggle visibility of others’ guides.This would make collaborative design cleaner, reduce visual noise, and let each designer work efficiently without interfering with others’ layouts.

Currently Figma make allows you to have different pages for your prototype. But for some reason when the app updates i dont really have a way to go to the specific page that was changed. For eg. one of my prototypes has a component to provide email before you can move forward. So any time the app updates when i’ve changed any of the pages Later in the flow, I have to go through the entire flow again just to get to that page, and then ask it to make changes, and then we go over it again and again and again. I have seen it in other tools like Builder.io, where it doesn't matter what I change, I can go to a specific page from the page selector at the top. Is Figma going to get one of these? 

I’m embedding a form and would like to have scrolling on this embed and/or ability for the figma embed to resize on any change to avoid scrolling.

I am extremely excited to motivate for Figma slides for decks, and the ability to use components and even prototypes in here.My one concern is that if a component is used in a Figma sildes, and the component is updated externally, it is not updated in Slides and needs to be re-placed. Are there any plans to make this relationship persistent? Prototypes DO update when placed in Slides.

Is it possible to create my own custom shapes for use as shapes in FigJam? I am drawing complex process flows, and I need to use a few vector grphics (for example, an octagon) which I created with Adobe Illustrator as FigJam ‘shapes’ so that I can annotate them with text and connect them to other shapes with connector lines. I haven’t been able to find instructions on how to do this. Is this doable? If so, please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I couldn’t find a feature in Figma where we can constrain trigger or hotspot bounds to a vector shape instead of a rectangular bounding box. The current version doesn’t support the design use cases similar to those below (eg: interactive pie charts) where transparent pixels are ignored in a non-rectangular shape because the hotspot bounding box is always rectangular. It would be nice to constrain the hotspot area to the desired shape instead of a rectangle. Please check the attached Figma file. Hotspot bounds.fig (7.0 MB)

A lot of AI features in Figma so far seem to be generative, which IMO is mostly fruitless for the core auidence as current models are not capable of new problem solving, only generating variations of the combined knowledge of everything that has been observed before, without understanding the context of decisions made to implement design choices as well. Where I can see see value add is in other aras. QA for example - perhaps pointing a dev URL at the tool to see how front-end have developed the designs and comparing to what was in the original figma (visually, not comapring the code generated by Figma, which is often not all that helpful in established systems) - could help catch mistakes and also documwent intentional changes in the design to development process. 

Could you please add the option to show width overlay in figma make, it would really help debug breakpoints when prototyping. Thanks

Maybe I missed it but I can’t seem to add a (URL) link to a object in Figma Slides, would be nice. I can do with workarounds for now.

Video settings have a dedicated button when not in Design Mode. When in Design Mode this button is nowhere to be found. So if I want to adjust the settings of a video I must get out of Design Mode first. Is that intended? Not Design Mode Design Mode
