Hey FigJam Team / Figjammers I have an Idea, well, more of a problem. I’ve been wrapping up an affinity mapping session and going through the sense-making and analysis part of the research. While copying and pasting the groups of stickies and linking them to the correct areas for shared insights, I thought, wouldn’t it be great if FigJam allowed you to create a stack of grouped stickies which opened up when you clicked/hovered over it to allow you to see the details of the insights. As I am sure most of you will know, affinity boards get rather messy, large and can be very scary to look back into if needed. With this idea, we can manage our mass collections of stickies better. I’m open to any suggestions, and please feel free to share if you’ve experienced the same issue. Rav

Hi, new to Figma, but not new to UX design. I’m very competent with Sketch, JustinMind, Illustrator/Photoshop, and Axure and now my company is trying out Figma. The question I have is about Presentation Mode. I see all these great tutorials and functionality around responsiveness when INSIDE the Figma editor. Constrain the button to the parent frame for a variety of responsive behaviors… that’s cool. But when I launch Presentation Mode I’m only given choices like “Shrink to fit frame” and “Fill to fit” etc. I need to be able to make some UI that responds like HTML/CSS in Preview Mode. Like, a responsive data grid where some cells shrink as the window gets less wide and some do not and eventually resulting in a horizontal scrollbar when the grid can get no smaller. You know, web page style. I guess I’m confused about why the “drag and watch the objects respond” behavior seems to be limited to only the editor view. Am I missing something??? I can’t find any info about this. All the searc

It would be effiecient if FigJam file text widget could have capability to render symbols for mathematical expression like sigma, super script,subscript…

It would be nice to be able to select standard logo frames for drafting logos (app logos, company logos, etc.).

Transposing design into code is the best it has ever been with Figma code. Been doing this for years now, the progress has been fantastic! However, there is a step that could make this even more friendly. I’d like to see an option to dynamically import Figma Components into React (with props!) Either in the Copy menu or in the Code mode → export as NPM package NPM / CDNJS link. This way I can design or update designs in Figma and it will automatically update in my live code! Additionally, would be great to have: – version control a component – cache import – marketplace of component – ability to vote on component / default Original tweet with image https://x.com/1dolinski/status/1748017235610734995?s=20

It would be great to be able to set percentage values (as opposite to the unit values).

Hi, I have the global mapping of an app with a lot of screens . And I need to scroll a lot . I would appreciate when I click on a connector to be able to reach with one click on its contextual menu or via shortcut or via the prototyping panel the destination of the connector. Thank you !

I am trying IA in Figma and it is great the problem is the experience while you are using it because it is never dissapear … the text box stay there with us until de end (or refresh the page) i dont find the (x) buttom

I am about to work on my project when suddenly I can’t add frames to start designing, it just dissappears. Also, when I click on an existing project file, a pop-up appears telling if i should delete it instead of continuing working on it and when i tried to click the back button to dismiss it, it won’t listen. Is there a glitch or problem right now or its just in my part? Thanks for your responses.

There are some fields that we would love to get included from the API, I know there’s a lot of data, but maybe we can add a list to vote between the most relevant ones. I feel that some missing fields make unusable the ones that you expose, for example: Constraints details contain the horizontal and vertical attributes but does not contain the option if the position is fixed when scrolling For reactions, although not documented, the API supports ON_KEY_DOWN, but does not specify which Key

I would like to do this programmatically through the Figma Plugin API, currently, there isn’t direct support for toggling the “Fixed Position When Scrolling” property. This is a manual setting that users must configure in Figma. The plugin API provides limited access to interact with the Figma interface and prototype settings. And would be a huge help in creating plugins to assist in prototyping.

Imagine if Figma and FigJam could find, open and show anything from a workspace (account), organization, or community from canvas and on the canvas. Think of it as a mini optimized LLM masked as powerful Super Duper search for Pro accounts. No need for folders, collection or anything else to organize resources in a hierarchical way. It can even suggest action based on search queries, like auto favorite files etc. This is a concept and it’s easier said than done right and implemented for our community. I’m sharing here after the prompt from Figma on Twitter. Curious to know what everyone thinks and how we can make this even better.

I noticed when adding multiple colors on a gradient that is very hard to distribute evenly. It would be great if we could distribute evenly across the gradient. Even better it would be nice to have a feature to add a specific value on the line… eg 50%, 75% etc.

When using a Figma prototype, there should be a way to disable the ability to navigate through screens via left & right keyboard buttons. Some research participants are inadvertently skipping through the prototype this way, rather than clicking hotspots. Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

when I want to add overlay on the autolayout, auto layout is cracked, overlay pushing existing autolayout I tried to place overlay on the autolayout, and found a way. First, make group with autolayout using ctrl+g Second, make another group with overlay and autolayout using ctrl+g Third, place overlay on the autolayout by dragging it. you should use Layers hierarchy of left siderbar

Could you please allow us to use Ctrl+W to close the preview window? Or could you at least change the preview shortcut to something less likely to be pressed by mistake? Ever since the Preview feature wasn introduced, there has always been this frustrating loop where I 1. press Preview shortcut (Shift+Space) by mistake and 2. press Ctrl+W by reflex ending up closing the whole design file.

Problem: Designers need a better way to organize the versions of their designs in order to keep a clear, organized history of the design process. Current Situation: Each time we receive feedback on the designs for a project, we create and label a new page. Depending on the project this could be 10+ pages with only slight variations and no where to leave notes. Not to mention depending on how the file is organized links can get messy very quickly. Proposed Solution: Leverage the existing Version History tool so users have a designated place for each iteration or round. Allow designers to share out a link that will allow stakeholders to comment for a certain period of time after a review. Once that time is up and all comments are captured, the entire team will have access to this version for reference. (Comments will remain with each respective version for reference).

We are currently moving away from multiple tools and would like to use FigJam. Currently in the stickers library there aren’t a lot of technical stickers like: Server Database PC Would be super helpful if they would just exist, makes life a lot easier instead of pasting them from the internet. Could be a small quick-win for you and us 😃 Cheers! 🍺

It takes a long time to choose a typeface, especially when you need to reject typefaces without Cyrillic support. Adding a filter in the font library makes work for Cyrillic users much faster.

What I wish for the future is that I am able to have a library component (external file) in a file and can perpetuate changes locally, but also inherits updates from the external file (i.e.: design system). Basically a blend of local component and library component. The use case: I take an asset library component and use it on my current file, I make some changes to text and style and re-use it across the flow of screens I’m designing. When I make a change to any of them, nothing happens, they are completely isolated from each other despite being a component, so I am left with two solutions: Detach to make it a local component and lose all the variables Do the hacky workaround and lose future updates from the design system file A nest component would perpetuate local changes, but receive updates from source file

Dear Figma Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share a feature idea that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience within Figma. As an avid user, I often find myself utilizing external tools like Loom for screen recordings while working in Figma. While Loom’s comment feature is helpful, I often find it more convenient to have comments directly within the Figma platform itself. My feature request is to introduce an integrated screen recording and commenting feature within Figma. Instead of a traditional video recording, this feature would capture a recording of my cursor movements within Figma, allowing other users to follow along as I navigate through the design file. This interactive recording would facilitate better collaboration and understanding within the design process. Furthermore, this feature would enable users to leave comments directly on specific screens or elements within Figma. By allowing contextual comments within the design file itself,

Users with high level of Figma’s forum trust can group / unit / format with adding your ideas topics with similar types of ideas, to make forum more readable

My team is a big fan of Figma, and we hope to add a time interval for permission control in the permission management window. When the time expires, the permission should automatically be revoked. This would prevent the need for manually toggling each person’s permissions. Additionally, it would be helpful to export a summary list of all current team permissions, making it easier to monitor who has access to projects. Thank you! ❤️

Hi! I have been using the FigJam for about 1 year for tutoring math and now it has become worst expirience. Because every digit & every symbol that I write convertes into random squiggle. I kindly request to revert this feature OR make two possible states: hardsmoothing and softsmoothing or somethng like this 🙏
