I switched from XD to Figma late last year. And I am beyond pleased to make that switch. There are only a few things I have found that I prefer how XD handled them. One of them is a certain functionality in the Presentation view. In XD you press the play button and it shows a preview of whatever “frame” you happen to be on. If you have prototype linking built-in, you can click through using that. If not, clicking on the screen jumps you to whatever frame happens to be to the right of your current screen in your canvas. But most importantly, if you have your presentation on one monitor and your working file on another, you can click on a specific “frame” and the presentation automatically jumps to that frame. This is extremely helpful when presenting your designs. It may be rough mockups that you don’t want to have to create a full prototype for, or you are just discussing the design and need to jump around to different screens. It can become nauseating for people viewing your presentat

In Preview Mode(Prototype) I can’t drag it outside of Figma Window, if I have other screen I can’t drag in to other screen for multi-tasking. I want this option so bad! I am a two screen person and it’s irritating. I know I can open present mode in new tab then drag it to other screen but sometimes that’s a hassle.

Ctrl + tab should switch between most recent tabs rather than switching between tabs sequentially.

Currently you can add a thumbnail to a Figma file, and Figjam file but not for Figma Slides. Would it be ok to add this feature to Figma Slides ?

I often duplicate existing mocks to work on feature updates. Deleting previous annotations one by one is extremely tedious. It would be helpful if the tool could recognize when a frame has been duplicated and then allow bulk clearing of annotations.

Ai suggestions are turned off in the menubut I’m still getting this every time I copy and paste a text frame 

Hello, Please provide a way to select which of the Library updates I want to accept, instead of having to click the Update button on each of them if I don’t want to update all. Allowing multiple selection would be great. Sometimes I need to update only the icons or only the styles in an old file and none of the components at all, and doing that by hand having to click each of the Update buttons repeatedly is terrible.

In other design tools you can simply press a key, and any selection outlines, grab handles, etc. get hidden while the key is down, so you can preview and evaluate how things look, without having to de-select everything and lose your selection. Apparently there is no way to do this in Figma =( This is important while experimenting with different colors, fonts, etc., and in Figma it could be used to see how different sizes, variants, and states, look in your design, without those selection handles and outlines getting in the way of you previewing things.

Hi Figma team,I would love to request French language support for Figma’s interface (web, desktop, and mobile).Many students, designers, and teams in Canada, France, and other francophone countries use Figma daily. Having the UI available in French would make Figma more accessible for beginners and non-English speakers, especially in educational settings.I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Interaction Design at Université Laval in Québec, and I would love to be able to learn and use Figma in French. This would make it easier for me and many other students to fully adopt the platform and focus on design rather than struggling with language barriers.Localization would help: Make Figma easier to adopt in universities and design schools. Improve accessibility for teams working in government and regulated sectors that require French interfaces. Strengthen Figma’s presence in the francophone design community. This change would benefit everyone — students, teachers, young designer

Using overlays greatly reduced the amount of duplications in my frames, still there are flows when I start with an overlay in a given position and would like for it to be swapped with a differently positioned overlay. Currently I do that by targeting a new frame and using a timed overlay opening from that. Looks fine in the prototype, but adds few extra steps/duplications that I’d happily do without.

It would be really nice if I could pop out the variables into their own window. Currently I can only have it as a dialogue in Figma, which means it always overlaps over my design and especially on smaller screens this becomes quite the issue. I often need to see variables and my design at the same time, so moving it to a second monitor (or even on a laptop quickly switching with alt + tab between the two) would be very helpful.

Hey Figma team ✌🏻,Loving all the new features you’ve been shipping lately! That said, me and many others still really hoping for native Lottie support. Right now, using GIFs just isn’t cutting it. They tend to be pixelated, and higher quality versions are often locked behind a paywall. Adobe XD had this figured out a while ago, so I’m curious: is there a reason Lottie integration hasn’t made it to Figma yet? Or is it something we shouldn't expect in future?Being able to use Lottie animations directly in files would take prototyping to a whole new level. Just wanted to share this as desperate designer, who wanted direct Lottie integration more than the illustration feature. Thanks for all the great work you’re doing!

For example if I have a paragraph with a certain style applied, I should be able to override some properties individually such as italic, bold, underline, strikethrough.  I come from the olden days of desktop publishing and this was a core feature of all professional-level software — separate paragraph and character style sheets.I would love to see this everywhere in Figma, but I think an urgent need is within slides. Because in slides we are publishing actual content and it’s a pain to create separate styles for little changes like this. They are also brittle and can very easily be accidentally overridden when reformatting something. 

Adding the ability to create basic charts in Figma Slides would be great. I rely heavily on displaying data in Google Slides to present to the team along with screenshots of our product. I would like to not use Google Slides anymore. Another great addition to add later would be to import a CSV with data or a Google Sheets integration to pull the data from Sheets.

I'm the Design Lead of Design Systems Division. And our organization currently holds 1k members (Figma seats). Several of our design systems are modular and component-based, with one supporting 22 real-time dashboards and a total of 174,000 inserts of core components. These components are organized into groups, each stored in a separate library file. The libraries are linked to organisms (files), which are then integrated into templates. This structure ensures flexibility, scalability, and performance but requires significant time for library updates, occasionally leading to the use of outdated versions.We planned to develop a plugin for semi-auto library publishing/updating to reduce maintenance time and eliminate errors caused by outdated versions. However, the current Figma REST API doesn't support library publishing/update functions, which limits automation possibilities.We kindly request to Figma team to consider adding library “publishing and update” features to the Figma REST AP

It’s great that I can use variables within Text styles, but there’s a large problem with configuring font weight. I want to use number variables for my font weights. Unfortunately, if I want italics, I am forced to use string variables for my weights. Figma clearly has logic to isolate font-weight and font-style from the chosen weight configuration in the UI (as seen in CSS code output), so why can’t I configure these two properties separately and Figma recombines them on the backend to identify the font face to load?

Hello, It’s possible in the future to export a Figma frame’s on editable PowerPoint, like it’s possible on Canva ? I know isn’t the principal functionality on Figma, but I think it’s a new possibility to create 😃

Figma slides is great! One thing that our team has been missing since we’ve been using it is an option to export to .ppt. Our team works a lot on decks for external clients and we would love to use Figma Slides to do that.

In massive organisations with tons of projects and documents, we are trying to figure a way to tag them in order to facilitate our job when searching for anything.. The implementation of a tag system would be quite welcome. Here is a sample image of what I mean below :  

Summary: Allow edits to your local dictionary. Details: You can accidentally add a misspelled word to your local dictionary in Figma, but they don't give you as the user or their support / engineering team to remove it. That misspelled word will just never be spelled checked for you in your added misspelling again. Our engineering team has confirmed that it's not currently possible to remove words that have been added to your local dictionary. They have also confirmed that it's not yet on the road map but the team may address it in a quality week. Help article content: "Once a word has been added to your dictionary, it cannot be removed." is why I'm reaching out for help to get it removed.

The stickers/plugins etc sit in an awful pop up model frame that covers half your FigJam board (if on a laptop for example) so poor UI design for us users. We really need to have the ability to move/hide/reside these and ideally pin them for quick reuse.I initially raised this as a bug with Figma as the Pin Libraries to board (dock) use to be a feature and disappeared from FigJam in the UI3 update - it was still highlighted in their guidance here https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004290841-Use-stickers-and-libraries-in-FigJam#Pin_libraries_to_board Though my suggestion was locked and cannot be updated and the guidance on that page has been changed.This is a case of UI design going backwards for usability and accessibility so I hope they provide an update soon.I know there was a lot of backlash on the inability to dock/pin in Figma and I imagine users feel the same for FigJam too.Can we please have the ability to resize and/or pin the sticker/library modals in Figjam for easy

In prototypes, comments do not scroll whenever you scroll the page.This can be fixed by getting the mouse-wheel scroll and moving the comments for each step either up/down (/left/right on horizontal scroller).This would at least give the illusion of “sticky” comments which many people need. The most robust approach would be to save the location of a comment in scroll-able boxes by index/coordinates. This feature is a MUST to be able to communicate with clients efficiently on larger projects. Best regards,LM from rechenwerk,Essen, Deutschland

To help organize nested instance properties in the properties panel, it would be great to have them collapse inside their parent component in the list. E.g I have made a component with several cards. The card component allows me to turn on and off the title, text, image, and button. I can also change any of the text from the properties panel. → When I use an instance of the component in my designs, I must scroll through all the open nested properties before I can edit card number 7. If I were to see an accordion with cards 1-7 with their nested instances hidden beneath, it would be less confusing and much quicker.

One of the key pieces of functionality of Slides competitors (like Canva or Google Slides) is the ability to share a slide deck with anyone, even those outside of the Figma account. Here’s my use-case: Made a slide deck in Figma Slides Want to share it with my whole company and with external stakeholders (e.g. our Board) These people don’t have Figma accounts I can do this very easily in Canva or Google Slides But it seems I have to manually invite everyone into the file in Figma slides

I encountered an issue as I was building a prototype.When going into the prototype mode, we have the option to change the scaling to be “responsive”, which allows anyone who access the prototype to view it at full screen size, regardless of their device dimensions, which is great.  However, fixed position elements, such as a bottom sticky drawer, do not go responsive. They do not stretch left and right together with other scrolling elements. When looking at the alignment options, it looks like “left and right” and “scale” are disabled. That’s why it doesn’t go responsive. If we could enable the  “left and right” option for fixed position elements, so that my bottom drawer can be responsive and stretch to full screen width, that would be great..
