What I need: Showing the distance between rulers. How I expected it to work: Select a ruler, hover another and hold option (mac). Context: In some really nested templates and components its impossible to actually select edges of correct elements for measurements, therefore I would need the option to show the distance between two rulers. Complexity: Seems to be an easy fix, since the individual coordinates of both rulers even show on the top edge of the ruler section of the UI, you’d just need to add the distance (where exactly I wouldn’t care that much)

currently working at an agency and they won’t switch to Figma due to the issue of Internal vs. external comments and how this is solved in Invision with Private Comments. I feel like if we just had private or even levels of permission (admin) comments vs. guest comments Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Only a small one but would save time Add some universally used presets when making component variables so we don’t have to write them every time. Something like Size= Desktop, Small desktop, Tablet, Mobile State = Inactive, Active, Hover, Disabled, Focus 

In the prototype preview section, im my opinion, there’s too many phones ultra precise sizes, we won’t use because we build responsive.And there’s missing all the most common standard screen size that we really need :1280x720,1366x786,1440x900,2560​​​​​​​x1440 Also, i’d like an option to add the “windows task bar”at the bottom (48px) and the “biggest Browser interface” at the top (120px) so it can preview the real life size of our prototypes.thanks   

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this You can currently only have one screen / device in a prototype when you play / view it. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) While you can move the start head to different frames within a prototype you can not have more than one start head. When you do view a prototype you only get to interact with one screen / device per prototype. However, there is a use case for multiple screens / devices in a single prototype (eg: mobile - both orientations, tablet - both orientations, laptop / desktop, large screen). Rather than having multiple prototypes within a single project or file it would be very useful to have the ability to select from among multiple variants right in the one prototype. You could have it to where you can select from among various user defined properties (just like variants do) right where you play the pr

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

There — I’ve already named the tool for you.I’ve loved seeing how Figma continues to reinvent not only how we create websites and applications, but also how we interact with the tools that shape them. We’ve watched people shift to Figma for presentations, and now, with Figma Draw, that evolution continues.Of course, we all know we’re already using Figma for motion design — for prototyping and suggestive motion that brings interfaces to life. But it feels like it’s ready to evolve beyond that.Cutting to the chase: I’ve been using Figma for motion graphics — website hero animations, social posts, and more. I honestly can’t stand how archaic Adobe Premiere and After Effects feel. The endless hidden menus, cryptic icons, and overly complex workflows for even the simplest motions are exhausting.I truly believe Figma could create a motion design and editing tool — something lighter than After Effects (at least for now) — that empowers us to export vide

One issue that raises its head over and over again is stakeholders having continuous access to a file once it has been shared with no way to restrict what they view.A lot of the time this ends up with stakeholders either watching you work, or leaving comments/feedback on parts of a file that simply aren’t ready yet.We have tried numerous ways of stopping this, but no amount of annotation, labelling or naming something as a WIP will stop someone who REALLY wants to give you that urgent feedback on your half done slider.I don’t think we should have to completely remove access from someone just to have a private area to work in a file.Something such as the ability to share specific pages within a file, or lock a page down so that it isn’t shared / viewable until the permission is granted. Private sections would also be a great addition.

As an admin, when declining an upgrade request, I’d love to add a personalised message so that I can inform the user why their request is declined.

When creating grid as a style (in design system) and applying to a screen, I cannot hide it. The ‘eye’ for visibility is missing. It really bugs me because I can’t see my design properly and have to remove ad place the grid again.  Grid when it is styleGrid when it is not a style 

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Every time I enable Auto Layout (AL), the detail setting is set to Hug Contents. I realize that in some cases, it makes sense, but not always. We use the fixed width/height quite often, and changing it manually every time to fixed is pretty annoying. Probably introduce a user setting for default AL behaviour or remember the last setting used. Meaning that if I used Fixed the last time, it would be the initial setting next time I enable AL. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) AL is a versatile tool, and more flexibility would make it even more user-friendly. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

As a designer in an IT department which is part of a large organisation, the one day limit to open sessions is too restrictive for working with ordinary users who may only need to join a workshop occasionally. The duration of the Open Session should be configurable (both edit and view) by the Editor in Professional and Enterprise Licences.

I’m working across several teams with complex flows, and need a way to inherit the updates to those flows that other teams are making in real-time (screen order, specific screens, flow lines).  So when one of those teams make a lot of small or big changes to their flow, currently I’m having to manually update my files, which is error-prone, time-consuming, and tedious. I’m imagining something like a component for an entire artboard as an “page-level” component.  Many layers of nested components - i.e. atomic, molecule, organism, templates, *pages*.   Right now there are a lot of limitations using components for this use case (i.e. connector lines don’t always work, components are cumbersome at that scale, restricted max nesting layers).  Alternatively, we could have an iframe or window that shows the other flows. 

We could use IF, ELSE IF, ELSE statements… Many times in code you may want to do many different things based on different string values For example, I might have three different landing pages based on 3 conditions, and upon button press I might want to say IF “has-users”==0 goto empty landing ELSE IF “has-users”==1 goto landing a ELSE IF “has-users”==2 goto landing b ELSE goto other

This is an idea to allow Figma Admins to customize the instructions that users see when they request an upgrade in their access. This would save time and confusion for Figma Enterprise admins. Here’s why:For Enterprise customers using SCIM, upgrade requests are often handled via tools and processes external to Figma, such as ServiceNow. (The requests are reviewed and approved, then the user is added to the correct ActiveDirectory group).But, users often don’t know this, and when they request an upgraded license (say from View to Dev or Full), the Figma Admin has to intercept the request in the Admin Dashboard and send a separate email to the requester instruction them about the company process that exists outside of Figma. This is extra work for the Admin, and potentially adds confusion and delays to the process.It would be ideal if the Admin could create a custom instruction to be displayed in the upgrade request UI.  The message they would create would

I work for a company with a ton of legalese in their CRM and site programs. It’s very frustrating bringing in copy from my copywriter and the superscripts do not translate over and I have to manually go into Details/Position to tick a box to superscript. The dream would be for the copy to automatically recognize the superscript when I paste it into figma, however a better solution would be the ability to have a hotkey I could assign to superscript. It would be amazing for power users if all the features could have the ability to be assigned custom hotkeys for repetitive tasks like this. 

In a company with loads of users, it could be nice for the amdinistrator to rename each members because sometimes when they join team they use a nick name, or an other way to write their name. It could be nice to create group of users, like all gest, and/or with their company email to see quickly their role and maybe define role for a group of user (especially if multiple users of an other company have to be in our organisation)

The descriptions written in variables should be shown when selecting/picking them in respective pickers - maybe as tooltip? Otherwise I don’t see, how this could be accessed/taken into account by the users of our library.The grid view of the color picker shows the actual name as tooltip for example. This could also be used to actually show the description. 

For those that don’t use keyboard shortcuts, adding “Show/Hide annotations” to the context menu would be invaluable. 

### BackgroundCurrently, the tool only supports English interface/documentation.  Many Chinese developers are using it and would benefit from a localized version.目前该工具仅支持英文界面或文档。  许多中文用户在使用时会遇到理解障碍，希望能有中文版本或多语言支持。### Suggestion- Provide i18n (internationalization) support.- Allow community translation (e.g., via Crowdin or Weblate).- At least support Chinese documentation.建议：- 提供 i18n 国际化机制；- 支持社区翻译（如 Crowdin/Weblate）；- 或先支持中文文档版本。### Additional infoI’m willing to help translate if needed.  如有需要，我愿意协助中文翻译工作。 

It would be useful to see the email address of the user in the "Share this file" pop up as it is hard to recognise them by the name they enter or some times the same name for different users is displayed. I am never too sure of which user to want to edit access of or remove. 

I often paste screenshots into Figma – for documentation, comparisons, or quick visual discussions. But every time an image is pasted from the clipboard, Figma automatically compresses and scales it down.This makes text in the pasted image blurry and unreadable, which basically makes screenshots useless when trying to show interface details or discuss content. It also creates unnecessary friction in the workflow, since the only way to keep full quality is to save the image locally and use Place image…, which breaks the creative flow.I see requests for this feature that are several years old – time to fix it!

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.

When presenting in Figma Slides, I would like the smart animate transition to be played even when going back to previous slide. Currently smart animate is only played when advancing to next slide, but not when going back to previous (then it’s just an instant change). This behaviour would not have to be the default, but having the option would be nice.

Currently, in order to check if a variable value is set correctly, you need to apply it to a text or field. It would be great to have a way to debug/inspect a variable in runtime, especially for those that are not displayed on screen.
