Hi Figma team,I’ve encountered an issue when trying to apply a linear gradient to a single word inside a text layer.When I highlight just one word and apply a gradient (via the fill panel), the gradient technically applies, but no gradient handles appear on the canvas. This makes it impossible to adjust the direction, angle, or position of the gradient for that specific word.Steps to reproduce: Create a text layer with multiple words. Highlight just one word. Apply a linear gradient via the Fill settings. Try to adjust the gradient. Expected behavior:Gradient handles (start and end points) should appear, just like they do when applying a gradient to an entire shape or full text layer. I should be able to control the direction of the gradient within the selected word.Actual behavior:No gradient nodes/handles appear when the gradient is applied to only a portion of the text. The gradient applies, but I have no way to control it visually.Please let me know if this is a known limitat

It would be incredibly helpful to either display or index the filename for an image asset added to Figma as an image “Fill”. We often build website and app comps with final assets and photography (including some stock assets). We are utilizing the Image Fill feature a lot, instead of adding images and having to mask them individually. This is super convenient, but as we go to purchase final assets or reference the original filename, it is not maintained or indexed in any way. Are we just missing something? Is there an existing plugin to manage these assets?

Question, if the cell contains the public URL to the image instead of a pasted image into the cell, does that not work?

Is there a way to auto-play a Figma Slides presentation? I created a Slides deck for use at a high school career day booth and I’d like to just start it and let it go through the slides automatically and then repeat until I stop it. Any built-in or creative solutions to achieve this?

I think Figma should have a feature that lets you update an entire list of typography used in a design system.It’s so tiring editing this one by one  

Hi, I absolutely love Figma Slides, but there are still some caveats (like the usage of variables that is missing). So here's the next one; editing and presenting from a mobile device using the Figma app. Whether it will be a standalone app or a feature in the current one, I want it, I need it, actually.Especially the editing part, I would like to be able to do that on tablet (it's 2025 guys, even keynote and powerpoint have it). Thanks :)

TLDR; Figma should stop rewriting the entire code document every time a minute change is requested. So far, I'm incredibly impressed with Figma Make. It definitely has its limitations when it comes to deeper logic, but it has been doing a fantastic job of helping me to rapidly prototype up some of my designs, and I'm excited for where it is going. The way that entire code documents are being rewritten is one of those AI code agent growing pain items that are now becoming obsolete when working with tools like Cursor where they can be negated by creating a rule that explicitly asks to avoid the practice. I would love for there to be a similar feature available in Figma Make to allow me to prevent entire code rewrites for every little change that I request. 

I’m always copy/pasting autolayout frames and when I do this far from the right-most autolayout frame, it jumps me all across the canvas and I have to drag my frame back to where I was working. On twitter you guys mentioned paste here only works with the mouse so we know where ‘here’ is to paste. If there was a shortcut at least to just paste it in the middle of the canvas that would be nice.

Like in the design tool, I will be interesting to have components in Figma Slides. That way, designers can create templates for the company and non designer have only one place to change the footer on all slides. If we can have the option to add pagination to the footer or anywhere it will be a big plus.

Hi Figma!I’m a developer working with a team creating a design system and React component library. Our designers use tokens for pretty much everything, and a key part of our workflow is exporting the tokens as CSS variables, which can then be used in our React component library.To do this, we use a community-created plugin called Variables2CSS. It’s fantastic that someone created this plugin (thank you to the author!), but it presents us with one main problem: we need to be in Design Mode in Figma for the export to work correctly. If we’re in developer mode when we use the plugin to export the tokens, some tokens go missing.This is a problem within my team, as we need to purchase a designer license for each developer who needs to export the tokens. As my employer will only pay for one designer license for this purpose I am stuck being the only developer in my team who is able to do this. It’s a hassle for me, and if I go on holiday, or I’m off sick, the team is stuck and development is

Often when prototyping tools/UIs with canvases, a few fundamental interactions are needed. Scroll up/down Scroll left/right Zoom in/out Unfortunately, that last zoom in/out one isn’t possible in Figma as far as I can tell. It would be really great to incorporate this type of interaction in the same place that frame scrolling can be specified. Prototyping use cases: UIs with Maps (tracking apps, location apps, travel apps, delivery apps, etc) UIs with creative canvases (illustrator, photoshop, Figma, sketch, etc) UIs for analysis tools (spatial biology analysis, general sample analysis, etc) UIs for brainstorming tools (Figjam, Miro, google whiteboard, etc) This feels like it would be relatively basic to add but what do I know about programing lol. Anyways, would be really awesome and add a new dimension of interactivity to canvas based tools.

Hey everyone! We've been using Figma’s Slack integration to keep our team in sync, and I’d like to suggest an improvement: having notifications sent to a public Slack channel when a frame or design is marked as Ready for dev — not just as personal alerts.Right now, the Slack integration only notifies us about comments and mentions. But when it comes to dev handoff, it’d be super useful to have those status updates posted in team channels to keep everyone (Product and Dev team) aligned in real time, adding visibility and transparency.

Hey everyone,I’m exploring ways to streamline customer service for my small business and have been researching different options. I’ve read that customer support automation tools can really help reduce response times, improve efficiency, and free up my team to focus on more complex issues. However, with so many platforms out there, it’s a bit overwhelming to know which ones are reliable and worth the investment.What customer support automation tools have you used, and what features do you find most valuable? Any recommendations or pitfalls I should be aware of before committing?

how can i expand this ??????????? too narrow!  or please expand this.  I feel frustrated every time I use that part. I think it should be at least twice as wide.​​​​​​​+I wish there was a font favorites feature.  

Currently you are able to add up to nine screenshots for your published community file. I would like to upload a video to this area. Apparently you can do this for plugins, so I would like the feature for community files as well.  

Hey Community,   Using ComponentNode.key and ComponentNode.remote (boolean), I can detect remote components and import them via figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(). However, there’s no API to get the original source file name or library name of a remote component.Would it be possible to expose the component’s source filename or published library name in the Plugin API? This would help plugins display component origin info like the Figma UI does.

In other words a way to branch to/from a Community file Hi everyone, I publish a design system (DS) to the Community and have frequent updates to fix issues and add/update components. Community members duplicate this DS to their Organizational account to use in their own projects. They have reported to me that once they import the Figma file into their org and use it as a library they have no way of getting my latest updates easily and without breaking changes into their production design files that refer to the original “duplicated” file. So it would be great if there was a way to publish “get latest” or “subscribe to changes” in a community file. (Instead of having to restart design file from scratch in the latest version of the Design System). Librairies features are not an option as they are specific to an ORG and cannot be accessed through the community. And Swapping in this use case does not work well at all. This would be great for everyone as it would allow Figma to always ship

Description:Currently, when prompt requests are ready in Figma, users only see a visual indication. It would be very useful if Figma could also notify with a sound alert. This small improvement would help users notice requests faster, especially when they are multitasking or not constantly looking at the Figma window.👉 Suggested feature: Add an optional sound notification setting in preferences. Allow users to toggle it on/off depending on their workflow.

Quality of life suggestion:Could we get a check box list in the Annotation flyout to select then apply?Applying Annotations is a ton of clicking if I want to apply all the Attributes for say Fonts or anything like that. I usually skip the width and height but apply everything else, which you have to click Property, then click the actual property then repeat 8 Times. 

Hi there!I embeded Figma prototypes into a SharePoint Teams website. I successfully hid the Figma UI, but I’m noticing some white padding around the prototype. Is there a way to adjust or remove this padding by tweaking the iframe code, or is there another method I could try?The extra white space is affecting the website layout, especially on smaller screens. I appreciate your help with this!Thank you! A

People have been complaining about this for years. I have to add ® and ™ to strings of text in my artboards. The superscript version of the character must be the same size as the rest of the text string, or it will not be vertically aligned properly with the rest of the text. The ®™ symbols are much too large, especially in headlines, but if you reduce the font size of that character, it drops down too low and is no longer in the superscript position. In Sketch or any other proper app, you can adjust the baseline of the specific character (baseline shift) so that you can re-align it properly. You can EASILY accomplish this in CSS and create specific styling for the “sup” tag which handles this in code. Why is it nearly impossible to replicate what is easy in any other app in Figma? I’ve seen people complaining about this since 2018, so I take that as an assumption that Figma will never fix this issue? The only way to get a properly aligned and sized ® or ™ in a line of text is to creat

Background: I am a developer, and I use Figma exclusively in Dev Mode via the web interface. I don’t have (nor do I want) any edit access to the designs I’m implementing. That’s for the designers. When the Measure tool appeared (the ruler icon on the upper left toolbar), I latched onto it very quickly. It greatly improved my speed of accurately implementing a design. There are certainly other ways to measure things in Figma, but they are all transient. The best part of the new tool was that I could quickly measure many different things and have all the measurements persist so that I could then just refer to them during development. It was a simple yet well-conceived tool. Then the Measure feature suddenly and completely disappeared on April 10! (Nooooo!!!) Other developers on my team can’t see it either, but the designers and anybody with edit access can still see it. Has there been a change that means that edit access is required to enable Measure? I hope not, because if yo

I am part of the Design Language Team at Philips, where I work on creating and maintaining a precise iconography system based on strict grids and style rules in Figma.We would love to see Figma incorporate AI-assisted icon generation that works directly with these grids and guidelines.How it could work: Designers set up a grid + style parameters (stroke thickness, corner radius, proportions, etc.) inside Figma. Using a text prompt or simple shape input, AI generates multiple icon variations that fit exactly within those rules. Designers refine, adjust, and approve the output—keeping the creative process fast but still precise. Why this matters: Ensures AI-generated icons are consistent with brand and system standards. Speeds up icon exploration and reduces repetitive manual work. Allows teams to focus on higher-level creativity while maintaining strict design language control. At Philips, we have worked on a library of 1,000+ custom icons, and this is expected to grow to abou

It would be great if we could create a few custom components within a Figma Slides document. For example: being able to create a custom footer to use on all of your slides, that would contain maybe a company logo, a confidentiality notice, and page numbers. I’m able to create this component in a Figma Design library of course, and publish it and then access it in Figma Slides, but that has a few limitations: The component created in Figma Design is not able to use the font and color styles from the Figma Slides document; since it’s made in Figma Design, it either has no styles applied, or it uses those from another library. Then you’ve got multiple color and font styles mixing in the Figma Slides document, when I’d like to just use one set so it doesn’t get confusing. (Especially if we have non-designers editing the deck – the less styles/libraries available, the better.) I can’t easily make bulk changes to that component that will affect all the slides in only this slide deck. For ex
