Suggest a Feature

When we create tons of pages - primarily for new designers - If we miss using the Design system elements, are there any to identify which design elements are not from the Design system? It could be a quick summary of the components used from the Design system. It could be an easy way to see design elements that are not part of the design system. How many times are components modified etc? Some things like Finding and replacing features for Design system elements.

Text boxes that accommodate each other, have their own individual properties and variables like all other text boxes

Frame 1 - Autolayout: I want it to looks like this: |Item1 A |item 2 |Item 3| |Item4 |Item 5|Item 6| I want that Item 5 and item 6 will be under item 2 and item 3 Today the auto layout looks ugly like this for tabular data: |Item1 A |item 2 |Item 3| |Item4|Item 5|Item 6| Please supports it

It would be great if interactions only became active when you were inside the shape/path you have set it on. Currently, it becomes active when you enter the bounding box of that shape or path, this makes it difficult to prototype interactions for non-rectangular elements that are located close to one another. It can make the target area of a shape to be clicked on or hovered over almost non-existent or overridden by another element in the frame. Having this working correctly would make a massive difference to creating effective and interesting prototypes.

I’m an admin for my Figma Organisation and partly responsible for approving requests for external people to join specific files. When someone is invited to a file, or requests to join a file, the wording of the email is pretty confusing. EMAIL_ADDRESS would like to be added to the XXX organization They were invited to view FILE NAME by Kornacker, ORGANISATION MEMBER and need to be added to the organization to access the file. Then you get a notification in Figma: EMAIL_ADDRESS would like to join XXX And when you click the link in the email, you get this description: EMAIL_ADDRESS would like to join the XXX organization. MEMBER has invited them to view FILENAME, but they can only access the file if you add them. I want to make sure that the requesting external party can only access the specific file that they have been invited to, not the rest of the files in my organisation. But every time this sort of request comes through, I los

Often in my designs, I’ll use an “advanced” font settings that just don’t show up in Dev Mode. Small caps and monospaced digits are the big two culprits. They would either have to know that something looks different, go into design mode, and look at the typography settings themselves, or I would have to remember to call it out. Here’s a label I have that uses SF Pro’s monospaced digits; there is nothing that hints at this feature being enabled:

It would be great if you can pre-set the variables for viewing in the Editor where you can copy the starting FLOW Link, like a accordion showing the settings. I create full width presentation links and this is almost impossible to share, without editing the link manually, especially if there are start-up animations, as the share button will share the wrong starting point in the animation and then the client complains that the animation wasn’t shown. Now I have to copy the link from the starting FLOW area Paste it into an editor Change the url params “scaling=scale-down-width” Add the “&hide-ui=1” Copy the link & Test Share the link if its correct That’s a really roundabout way to get links out to clients? At least XD has a setup area where you can specify how the link should work and also allowed you to rename the link to something other than the filename - which in Figma doesn’t include the name

Problem: At our agency, we are using Figma to work collaboratively with our clients. We open files to them at specific moments during the design process in order for them to leave great amounts of feedback as comments. Some of these comments are about changing a bunch of values (e.g. transaction prices from a banking app). It should be easy to change them, but every time you want to change a value based on a specific comment, you have to close comment mode, so you have to go back and forth to comment mode to see the feedback. Idea: it would be great to pin the file’s comments to the window or as a floating pane while you are not on comment mode. Goal: improve workflow and productivity. I know you could have two windows of the same file open, one with the comments active and the other one to edit, but you’d still have to go back and forth between tabs. If you have two screens, then that’s no problem, but I think this ide

Hello, i just tried to add 20 images in my Figma File. Nothing happend when I drop them, i thought it was a bug or they where drop somewhere else, so i retry. And again nothing happend. I finally understand that i had to wait like 20 sec for them to load and be visible on my file. I think a simple loading feedback would be welcome to avoid user misunderstandig when adding images/video in a Figma file.

Figma doesn’t work for me. I paid for my subscription today. Is it possible to get my money back?

This is all the UIs that pop-up when you want to change a color. Sometimes there isn’t even space left behind to actually pick the color 🤯 Somehow compact this. All these fly-outs isn’t very easy to use.

I am unable to find the glyphs set in particular fonts in Figma. I understand you can download glyph plugins, but they seem to be random glyphs not associated with the font, so the plugins are not what I am looking for.

Please show all prototypes when clicking out like the old version. New version so bad make me can not choose all prototype to edit quikly

I really interested in using FigJam, it works so well with me so far in studying, but it would be better that I could use my tablet to handy take note in FigJam

I know this data exists so why can I not view version history on a page by page or component by component history? Sometimes we get weird changes that no one on the team recalls making. Maybe it was a mistake? Maybe it was a merge conflict that was difficult to deduce? Who knows. We noticed something unintentionally changed and we want to track down when it changed, ideally, on a component basis (My team manages a design system) so we can learn what happened and take steps to prevent it from happening again. How I see this potentially working is selecting a component, or even variant of, and viewing its individual history via the property panel. It could just be dates there like we see in the file’s history panel, but then allow me to dig deeper and use something like the merge resolution UI to visually compare the current version to a selected historical version. Basically, similar to what we see in Dev Mode. Current version history capabilities are super generic, ted

Hello Figma Community and Figma Team! I loved our last video for LBU and it inspired me to compile this list of things that I find are really beneficial to have in Figma and to teams in general. Please see the 17 new ideas below and feel free to contact me if there are things that need more explaining. 🙏 1. FigJam: Have the option to count all the Stamps without having a Voting Poll active, I do find it hard to track all our stamps and it tends to get messy when doing polls as sometimes we miss some stamps not being counted. 2. Variables: Have the option to move a Group to another Collection, PLEASE ADD THIS ONE 3. Text Tool: Having the ability to type text on paths 4. Component Properties: Having the option to allow a nested/child component to be duplicated within the main component. A good example is forms with multiple text fields 5

We need German languages

This goes for all web apps actually. But my guess is that it’s a simple change to fix that…

When you lock a layer, the editor should show a lock icon next to the frame so that it is easy to spot if a frame is locked. Additionally, the icon can be a toggle (like “Ready for Dev”) so that people can unlock and lock without digging through the well-named layers that we designers clearly do 🙂

The settings for line height and paragraph spacing. These features are very effective for single-line text editing but can be inadequate when dealing with multi-line texts, especially in the design of documents or user interfaces. This is particularly true for scenarios that require fine-tuning line heights for multiple lines of text. I suggest that the Figma team consider adding a ‘Multi-line Text Line Height Setting’ feature. This would allow users to set line heights individually for multi-line texts, thus providing greater customization and flexibility. As it stands now, the font variable seems clunky

Hi all, I work on a design system team as part of design ops. we run a hybrid design system model so product teams actually manage their own theme libraries with our “template” library. current behavior in Figma: insert a global comp swap global theme lib to brand theme lib insert a new global comp swap theme lib again just so this new comp can have the brand colors problem statement as a des ops person, I want Figma style library swap to match by all styles rather than just visible styles in a file, so that when a new comp is inserted there is no need to swap styles library again. potential solutions as brainstorm: link all styles via ID or some kinda of meta data in addition to the name (name still need to match otherwise we create communication gaps on brands using their own styling names)

I’m having issues while merging a branch some edits that I might have done by mistake (eg deleting a page) it’s not possible to ignore the edit and revert to the original content. The feature, I’m requesting is like having a history of different pages / section.

Ability to copy, move, and swap (re-link) Quality tool Having a tool to evaluate unassigned surfaces for variables would be beneficial. It would aid in determining the closest variable color that can be assigned to them.

auto layout is very cool, but its functionality is limited. It would be really cool to have a table so that in each cell you can insert an object, text or picture, whatever you want. And for each cell to have its own independent alignment.
