Suggest a Feature

This is a small proposal for better management of local styles. For larger projects, our company creates different libraries, and it would be beneficial to have a feature like adding separators to styles. Similar functionality would likely be useful in page management as well. I have proposed my solution for adding separators.

I appreciate the efficiency of the copy/paste styles feature using option+command+c/v; it truly streamlines my workflow. It would be a game-changer if you could extend this functionality to include selecting a prototype arrow and pasting settings from another.

I’d like to draw arrows in Figma not in the design or prototype tab. A separate tab maybe that I can click and start drawing all the arrows on top of all screens. So I don’t have to create a layer apart and spend time with arrows overlapping with auto layout and frames. That way I could share the “screen flow” view only.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to ask for this. It would be very helpful for work presentation and marketing purposes.

I use FigJam to do a lot of affinity mapping for ux resarch notes. I like each user to have their own sticky note color. It would be great to have more color options or a color picker like you do for sections in FigJam. That way I could create an infinite amount of unique colors for each interview and not have to repeat colors after 8 or 9 of them. thanks!

Just thought that it might be a good idea to add a button somewhere so that users can put a FigJam ibto simple mode which would be very close to jamboard. It would help users move to FigJam if they found that it was as easy to use initially. They could click on advanced mode when they were ready. T

We have two modes of theme collection (Light and dark). What if we can change the collection’s mode on click?

Hey folks, Would like to raise my hand for additional device frames being needed, especially for Android - foldables and tablets. To be clear, I am not referring to artboard sizes but rather the frames that appear when presenting prototypes. Feels odd that we have a novelty frame for the Macintosh 128k 😅 before having one for the Galaxy Tab 10". I realise this is similar to a previous request: [More Android Mobile Device Frames needed (for presentation mode)](https://More Android Mobile Device Frames needed (for presentation mode)) But given custom ‘presentation’ sizes has been added since this post in 21’ (without device frame appearing) thought it was worth reiterating, I’d like to see the following: • Ability to download frames (like plugins) as new ones become available (community can submit their own?) • Ability to use a ‘generic’ or ‘agnostic’ device frame on custom sizes (that stretches to any size) • Support for foldable (with an external switch between folded/unfolded)

If you work on a lot of designs, the amounts of concepts will grow rapidly. Each concept goes in a page within a page I have heaps of screens. Some dialogs of screens are completely finished, some are still work in progress and some are concepts. I’ve been using Icons to give some sort of status to my pages. Let’s say, my design is finished I will give it a checkbox → See image. I also use empty pages to make some sort of subdivision in my pages. This system works wel with pages, and also works well with frames like here: I used a legend to document this. Very easy… Does anyone else use this as well for their designs and concepts? I find it’s a good way to give our developers better insight if the page or frame is ready for development or not. It wouldn’t be the first time that a design is developed, without being completely finished. 😃 But I think would be really cool that this was a feature, where you configure some statuses for your entire team and they can use i

Command F on pages such as “Recents” or “Drafts” should set focus to the search bar

I just want to give you a suggestion that you’ve included a feature in Figma to preview any artboard. But the preview of the mobile app shows only a new screen. Either to show a preview on a new screen you can replace that screen with a specific mobile device mockup. It will give a real-time look. Also, it will help the designer to manage items. See attached image… Thanks !

It is hoped that the trigger can control some attribute changes of multiple elements within the page.

Please add bezier curve connectors in FigJam. They look so much better than the simple rounded corner connectors. Miro has them and they’re very elegant.

Can we get better sort results from the insert menu, prioritizing the components that start with the search term? This will help DS owners with nested components expose the component we want users to use by providing useful naming. Attached is an example where “Elements” shouldn’t be used by consumers directly but are needed to be published in order for the top level Datepicker to be built. But it’s not prioritizing the component that is actually named the same as the search term.

The title says it all. While it’s possible to use keyboard shortcuts to bind variables to top/bottom or left/right, It would be fantastic if you could bind a variable to all sides via keyboard shortcuts (Deep Select / Shift) in auto-layout fields.

In the new dev mode, is there a way to leave comments for the developers, or do I just need to use the old comment system?

As a user of FigJam, I want the ability to select and customise the color of connector labels so that they can be more visible and aligned with my design preferences. Acceptance Criteria: Accessing Connector Label Color Options: From within the FigJam application, I can access the connector label customization options in a convenient and intuitive manner. Selecting Connector Label Color: When I select a connector label in my FigJam project, I can see a color palette or color picker tool that allows me to choose a color for that specific label. Applying the Chosen Color: Upon selecting a color from the palette or picker, the connector label should instantly update to the chosen color, making it immediately visible in my design. Customizing Multiple Connector Labels: I have the ability to customize the colors of multiple connector labels in my project, allowing me to differentiate and highlight specific connections as needed. Default Color Option: If I don’t specify a

Problem: If I buy a single license for a plugin, I can’t use that plugin with my customer accounts. Generally, enterprise customers have their own Figma organisation, and you must get your own external SSO account to access it. If I buy a plugin, I can’t use that plugin with these external accounts. Figma is forcing me to purchase the licence for every single customer or abandon the usage of the plugin. This issue is so significant that I want to avoid buying any licenced plugin from Figma. Solution: Create a global licence system that I can use the plugin with regardless of the account. There has to be some way to use bought plugins in every project regardless of the account.

I almost always immediately change a shape color to black when i make a new shape. I also hate having to hunt for a relevant font when i create a new textbox. I wish I could set a preference to black for default shape color and San Francisco (or Inter, or whichever font I’m using most) for new text boxes. This could be set globally and work well for me, or even on a project level for better context management, (though project level specification would be more for fonts than default shape color).

Slightly niche trouble-shooting issue - but it would be very useful to easily find what the current stable release of the App is. IT department here occasionally blocks automatic updates to the App. The longer this happens the more chance things go weird. (Last time we had publishing problems). Could you please publish the current [App] version number somewhere public? Figma product news & release notes seems like the logical place.

Design System designer here who would really benefit from the following: Auto-collapse nested instance trees in the component panel. With many complex components this panel can be way too long and cumbersome to scan. Allow control of which props to expose from a nested instance. Example: I have an asset-holder component which can be nested in other DS components. It has a prop for size. Let’s say I nest it within a card component for visual weight. I want my designers to be able to change the asset type (illustration, icon, etc.) but I don’t want them to change the size to keep visual consistency and vertical rhythm. When exposing props from nested instances I want the ability to choose which props are relevant when I insert them. This type of control is already possible within my dev team but not in Figma.

Hello. I usually construct flows with using many overlays (drawer, backdrops). Now, there is a problem, 'cause i can’t close overlay and go to the next screen. For example, imagine, that you have a 2 or 3 layers of overlays. For go out from 2nd layer overlays you need to use “swap overlay” with 1st layer and it gets backdrop darker… not convenient. You need to edit that specially. Or another issue. You can’t use effect of closing for go to next not-ovelay-screen, because you’re forced to use “Instant”… this feature doesn’t look difficult.

I have noticed I feel a bit frustrated every single time I try to resize the textframe to the width of the text when it has a set text style the way I am able to when the text doesn’t have. In the beginning I didn’t even find the feature and disconnected the text from the textstyle a lot and then chose it again. In general I would prefer to have all text editing features visible when I have marker

My company has separate folders doe separate releases in Figma. It’s great to see everything categorized, but sometimes, I need to browse through all of them to find something specific. I don’t remember the name of particular file or something like that. I don’t want to open every folders and check them one by one. I wish there was a way I could see all the files inside all the folders of the team. And even select which folders I want to filter out.
