Hi all, I would appreciate it if i had the option to apply a Figma variable directly from the variables panel. I know this is possible with token studio and it just saves a lot of time because now i need to make the variable, select the layer, find the variable i created and apply it. If i could do a right click from the variables panel and apply to fill, apply to stroke etc - that would be a real benefit to speed up my workflow

Would be nice to drag and drop plugins for example under the export option. Just like photoshop has it with the drag function and the blue highlight bar appears.

We create various components in the library and make screens with a combination of component instances. Currently, we need to write Annotate and Measure functions in the library component in Dev Mode and make them visible in the instance. If multiple designers use Annotate and Measure functions in each project, there is a high possibility that they will write different guides. We need to improve it so that we can manage the guide in one place.

Hi, I have a suggestion to display all related tokens of the component and link them with each other, so developers would be able to automatically locate the relations between tokens (click on one token and be redirected to the ‘parent’ token). Would be also very helpful to export tokens to code (keeping in mind they can be defined in different files). Example: we have defined company brand colors (that change really rarely), then app colors (that use only some of brand colors and will change from time to time), then created semantic colors (they use part of app colors, can change more frequently) — all of them are connected with each other and defined like variables in different files. Unfortunately in dev mode we don’t see the relations between tokens (we see only the last level token) so developers should manually find the relations — that is really annoying as we have big color palette. Developers want to define in the code the similar color logic as we have created in Figma (brand

It would be very helpful for UX Researchers to organize their research on Figjam just like on Figma. Multiple pages would be very helpful for us doing research stuff to have a clear navigation on the steps in doing our research. Thanks!

Currently unused nested components still show up in the layer list (as “hidden”). In Dve Mode they show up “normal”. The ask is not to show them with the closed eye icon as “hidden” but instead do not to display them in the layers list at all.

Add special window for refinement notes, to get them from there right into Refinement table. No one will see your thoughts before you share it. The interface would be more ergonomic

On the “Members” page of the admin section, it’s possible to filter the list by one or more criteria. One of these filters is “seat type”, with the values “viewer”, “full”, and “viewer-restricted”. The problem is, the “seat type” filter doesn’t really do anything: Filtering by “viewer” shows both “viewer” and “viewer-restricted” seats. As a result, it’s not possible to distinguish which people could be upgraded by anyone vs. those whose upgrades require admin approval. Filtering by any value applies the value to any seat type (design, dev, FigJam). So it’s impossible to distinguish between who has a “full” licence for design seats vs. dev seats vs. FigJam seats. “Full” shows anyone who has a full licence for anything. Worse, since our organization has a policy to set “viewer-restricted” for FigJam, selecting either “viewer” or “viewer-restricted” filters (see my first point, just above) shows… everyone. The “Members” page was already a bit difficult to work with when there were only tw

I use my drafts to spin up quick Ideas I might want to mock up in HTML and dont want to commit those files to the company folder structure since they are drafts. The only way i can go and view properties now is if I share the doc with myself on another account.

In the new annotations feature in dev mode, the annotations get minimized into an almost unnoticeable dot. I frequently have developers who are moving fast and miss notes even when called out larger. I shouldn’t have to expect my engineers to zoom in to 200% to see that there are multiple notes because only one is shown by default. I’d like for there to be a toggle on/off or something more prominent when minimized that shows there are annotations that must be reviewed. In its current state I likely won’t use annotations because it won’t be prominent enough and I’ll go back to the old manual way of leaving notes.

Frames sometimes work as folders, would be great to be able to create pages inside pages.

I already unchecked all email notifications and I still get them after a few weeks. Please add an unsubscribe button in your emails. Thank you! 😃

Hi! I’ve been learning how to prototype using Figma and I couldn’t find a proper way to use Smart Animation with an Instant Transition for unmatched layers. The only workaround I could think of was using Instant Transition to navigate + an After delay Interaction which triggers the Smart Animation, but it requires a lot of extra frames and configuration. I think it would be nice to have this feature in the future. If it’s currently supported, I apologize and greatly appreciate it if you can tell me how. Here’s a playground I’ve made to demostrate it better: https://www.figma.com/file/UrYrZnXlLu9cY4YLgAuqwR/Instant-Transition-support-for-Smart-Animate?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=ziFzZFfH9VFUTPkf-1

Hi, We just realized that this marvelous feature can be quite confusing. Showing Status in the Pages preview looks like there are subpages, especially in our case (see photo) but also in general. Also combined with this request it could make sense to add ‘mixed’ icon in the Pages preview beside of all requested ones.

It would be great to have the possibility to align selected Preferred values. I have a simple component (a row for settings for mobile app). The title is on the left and the button (component) is on the right side. I add some other Preferred values to the button but when I change the button with Toggle (for example) I can’t set its alignment. The button is wider than the toggle. When I swap them, the toggle displays in the center of the place where a button was. PS I tried putting the button in auto layout with align set to the left but it didn’t work PPS I understand that this feature was more for using different icons but it would be useful to upgrade it

Is there any solution to disable this feature? It’s very annoying!

If I click on ‘add child’ on ‘Lorem Ipsum’, I expect it to be in between ‘Lorem Ipsum’ and ‘Amet’ as ‘Dolor Sit’. But instead, it adds as a sibling to ‘Amet’. It would be better to have two different options, the current ‘add child’ and ‘add in between’. Significance? - Imagine there are 50+ items next to ‘Amet’ Note: This is from Mind Map widget

I saw where on the new Figma update, there’s a light/dark mode. I don’t see it on mines. I have the PROFESSIONAL Version

My Designer and I are working on a topic guide with a huge text field. we cannot type in it at the same time which slows down the workflow. Can we make it possible to do so?

Instead of creating branches on a per-file basis, why not create and manage branches on a team basis, the same way we do in development?

Hi, ADHD here. You guys are awesome. Please give us a way to open notifications in a full screen tab, or a multi-tasking window, or just something bigger than a tiny scroller that never ends. I need to hyperfocus on notifications sometimes, if I want to stay on top of requests from work. I need the option to allow you to command my attention, please. Thank you.

My team would like to be able to off multiplayer cursors (i.e. seeing other users cursors moving around) when accessing a file anonymously. This is because we use FigJam boards for retrospective meetings where people are encouraged to comment anonymously. Several members of the team find multiplayer cursors extremely distracting, but the option to turn them off is not available when accessing the board anonymously.

Hello. We’re using Figma as part of our work. We used Miro before, but changed to Figma because of economic reasons as far as I know. In this process there’s hundreds of us switching from Miro to Figma, but I can only speak for myself when I say that it would be fantastic if we had the option to change how to zoom in/out and move around so that it’s more easy for us used to the Miro keyboard shortcuts to transition to Figma. Best regards, Andreas

Hi Don’t you think it’s misleading that the “edit” button in link edit modal doesn’t indicate it is actually a button? Analogically the button in the next step inside this modal. I understand that we don’t want to change mouse cursor while hovering over it since it changes when we hover over the link itself. But maybe some subtle hover state would make it? Like slight lighting the bg

By Branching I mean the Git or other version control version of branching. Branch and merge. Many of our components are actually just offshoots of other components. No way to track. But how this happens is: My colleague saves a full page layout that has SIX CARDS, in a grid 3 columns and 2 rows. Now I want to make the layout wide. It makes sense to add more columns. Now I want to make it longer, now I want to add more rows. In order to do this, I have to break the component as is, and create another variant of that component that has more rows or more columns. So that’s a pain. But more likely, what will happen is I break the component, and then my designs can start diverging in subtle ways that then have to be audited or rejected by engineering. This is turning into a massive pain. We’re in the thousands of components with no end in sight. Now we have someone spending half their days just wrangling our component library. And they’re drowning.
