There should be a toggle-activated “wireframe view”, allowing us to select a frame, toggle it and see it as a wireframe. That would mean Figma would intelligently analise the content of the frame, changing the aspect of its objects. For example: Imagine a simple hero section from a landing page, with the logo on the top-left corner, some options on a navigation bar, an image in the background, some centralized body of text with a title and some short-to-medium text. Right below, there’s a button with a text on it. Toggling “wireframe view” using a shortcut, would allow the user to see every element I mentioned before in a simpler way. Texts could be replaced by boxes, text on buttons could disappear, leaving only the fill, images would display a placeholder image, so on and so on. This could be made using the objects as a reference and taking their properties and changing them in the back-end, switching the fill and transparency from texts to blank filled rectangles, and so on. I think

I’ve noticed that when I copy and paste a combination of ungrouped objects, they are pasted in the order that I clicked each object before pressing Ctrl+C, rather than in the order that they were. This is super frustrating - and doesn’t make any sense to me. Not sure if this is super clear so just an example: If a star was on top of a circle, but I clicked the circle and then the star (in that order) before typing Ctrl+C, when I paste, it would put the circle on top of the star, even if the objects were not in that order originally…

I often receive links to Figma files in Slack that I want to star (not pin) so I can close the tab but still reference it later. It would be helpful in the contextual menu when right-clicking a tab to have an option to “Show in Enclosing Project.”

It would be great to filter out only mentions from all notifications. I know there’s a setting to only receive notifications about mentions. But until that’s done, user gets all notifs. Would be great to filter by mention, file, project…

Creating an arrow (->, a vector line + ending). Turning it into a component → In the instance, I can’t add an arrow at the begging of the line, though the dropdown menu seems available) Please, decide wether, the lines’ ends are overridable or not 🙂

I think that Figma should add a way to code so you can do more thing. Like javascript would be a good coding language that they could add, this could make it so you can do more stuff with what you making like: adding text to a textbox, having buttons change something about the same component, or changing which way a textbox is centered. I was just saying some random example, but with code it would allow you to make way cooler prototypes. Also it would be cool for Figma to add textfeilds because you could use that with the code to make a working search box for example.

Hi Figma Is it possible to revise the UI of the Canvas Stacking option? It seems not very intuitive for it to be hidden behind the Auto Layout UI. Instead, it should be integrated into the Auto Layout option panel, given it plays such a significant role in controlling Auto Layout.

Please could we have a “warn before quitting” feature on the Figma desktop app? Since Cmd+Q closes apps on macOS I’ve found myself accidentally closing Figma one too many times recently. Chrome has this feature working and it would be nice to have it on Figma as well, thanks!Techbout – 3 Jul 17

As a user on an organization plan in Figma, my teammates and I are always having issues finding / sorting through hundreds if not thousands of internal Figma files to find what we’re looking for. We were discussing how helpful it would be if Figma had a feature, similar to Google Lense technology, where you could upload an image of the frame / component you’re looking for, and Figma could provide you with the files that match that are using that frame / component.

The hand tool is not efficient; please allow a “1” click button to be able to scroll vertically to the next frame. It was so easy and did not waste any time. It was a fabulous feature in Jamboard!!!

I’ve noticed a few requests for this, but it really surprises me that more people are not upvoting it. I cannot express enough how annoying it is for me to click on Figma links from a Jira task and then get shifted out of the current design I’m working on, only to not be able to find my way back to it. As a UX manager, I am working on 100 different design files each day, conducting design reviews, answering questions, and triaging Jira design stories. Therefore, trying to remember each file/page location is total insanity. PLEASE add a back button. Thank you.

Allow to change the appearance of a frame on hover, as well as open overlay, so basically allow to add more than one interaction on the same interaction trigger

In my day-to-day I have to approve a lot of branches. While doing that I always find myself scrolling through a list of branches (we have like 50?) and look for branches that have “In Review”. What you think of a way to filter the branches list. I create a demo video but are not able to upload it here so please have a look at my post on twitter: https://twitter.com/i/status/1775507243586245080

I would like to know the exact resolution of my images in Figma. The software should indicate the global , we need to know when the image is too big for example. Like in Indesign, we need to know these two parameters : Actual PPI / Effective PPI The actual PPI is where we see if our images has been oversized or not. And that prevents display problems. In indesign, these informations are in the links panel. Effective PPI is where we see whether or not our images have been oversized. And this helps to prevent display problems. I know this problem has already been highlighted on Can I see the resolution of images I import into Figma? But it hasn’t been addressed yet. I think this might help designers to think about it. Thank you for your attention.

Hello guys! In this picture you can see how my default work file usually looks. Within all those pages i arranged all the little thingies i later use to execute the design. I would LOVE to be able to collapse those pages intro groups, and only keep the ones i keep visiting during the design process. (Usally between Workbench, Home (or whatever), and project modules) The other pages are rarelly touched. Yet i need them there. Thank you!

We should be able to stack frames/rectangles with background blur. Currently, if a frame with less blur is stacked over one with more blur, it overrides the blur of the bottom frame.

Let’s be real, variables have been a total game changer, but there’s still something missing, right? I mean, who wouldn’t love more control over font family, size, weight, and color opacity within variables? It’s time for Figma to level up and give us that extra oomph we crave! Picture this: effortlessly switching between font families, tweaking font sizes on the fly, dialing in the perfect font weight, and oh, don’t even get me started on adjusting color opacity within variables. It’s the stuff of design dreams! Figma, we know you’ve got the power to make it happen. So why not roll out an update, starting with color opacity? Trust us, the design community will be cheering you on every step of the way. Let’s make Figma even more awesome together! 🚀✨

I’m using the REST API to get the version history of files for a particular date range. It would be helpful to be able to specify a date range to return versions for rather than have to look at the latest versions, then request the next chunk, and the next one, etc etc. It makes for a lot of unnecessary requests to the API when you’re looking at a date range that’s far in the past.

When I switch the colors at both ends of the gradient, the process is too complicated. If there is a quick switching form similar to the current line end style, it will be better to reverse the gradient. I hope to adopt it

Would love the ability to link, or connect, comments to one another. Example use-case: Often, when reviewing my peers’ work, I’ll find an issue that appears on several (or possible even all) screens within a given page in their file. Usually it’s self-explanatory to apply the comment/feedback in one place to all other instances of the same issue but that’s not always the case. Or the repeating offense may appear on Screen 1 but not again until Screen 47 so it may not be as easy to associate the issues as being the same thing. Current workaround: There is the ability to copy a comment’s link and paste that into other comments, thus linking them. This works ok but often it’s a pain to have to go and find the initial comment I’d like to link to. Benefit: Linking comments together would create “threads” or “groups” of related comments, therefore making it easier to duplicate/repeat feedback. Another feature of this could be to add visual cues for linked comments. For example, when viewing

It’d be useful if users without edit access could draw with something like a grease pencil or marker to make annotations for themselves. It could be like a layer that turns on and off and doesn’t affect the design file. Or I’d like to know if anyone has found a workaround for this.

Create option to apply layer properties to selected layers using multiselect Sometimes I create a layer and change it, but I forget to select the multiselect first to apply the layer properties settings to all layers selected using the multiselect. It would be convenient if it were possible to change a layer on one frame, and then apply the same changes to all of them using the multiselect. selected layers that were in the layer that was changed

Problem: The manual position I set to the component only appears once, when I have to set it. I cannot reset the manual position if wanted, because the overlay does not reappear after I’ve set it once.

It works exactly how it is on image. And in case of “Hug Content” basically both options look the same. Is there any particular reason for it not to work normally? I encountered the case when I need bottom row to actually be bigger then top one.

I’m having a hard time selecting the right interaction connector, specially when then overlap like this. (see attached) I might be simplifying the matter a whole lot, and I havn’t looked all the potential angle etc. but here’s a start of what I’m suggesting, perhaps the team can look into the matter? What does the community think?
