Hey Figma it would be nice to have a button at the top of the preview that would stick current frame so it would not change it when I change selection. Thanks Figma – 30 Aug 23

Hi, I use the Resource popup to select icons. I search for the icons and drag them to the design file. Every time the resource popup is closed after drag, I think it should open until I click somewhere on the design file, or I can close it with a close button. When I want to choose more than one icon, every time components load again, this is unnecessary.

I want to leave instructions to the developers inside the prototype mode (see attached examples), and I couldn’t find a good plugging. 📯Figma - Can you develop an instructions view that has an on-off toggle?

I think it would be very useful if we had a Freeform Gradient tool, like we see in Adobe Illustrator. There is currently a plugin (Mesh Gradient) that has this function, but we know it’s not the same as what we see in Adobe Illustrator. My suggestion is that you make it identical to Ai. This is one of the functions I miss most in Figma.

Collaboration is great… when it’s the good time ! Designing is a process, and it can take a bit of time, it can need some internal discussion, etc… Once I have share my first screens in my prototype with my client on an url, my work continue. I don’t want him to be perturbed by my evolving frames, or I don’t want him to comment when it’s not the good moment… How can I continue working and avoid him to see the changes until I decide it?

Hi Figma community, I would like the idea of having a new section in the left pane (maybe above the favorite files) where I would include all the running projects

When hovering over elements in the web browser inspector, you can get an AAA rating based on how accessible the design is for people with visual impairments. One of these things is the contrast between colors. It would be nice if we could get a similar tool for Figma to help us keep an ease of access approach to our designs 🙂

It’s such a sad state of community (not this community but Figma “Community” that’s in the Figma app itself.) Months ago I wrote about myriad of “draw-a-square-and-publish”, child drawing level “designs”. There’s less of them now but not because they are moderated, but because now there’s thousands of “draw a square, call it an input field and publish” designs. where people spend more time on cover than design itself. And now shameless abuse spirals out of control: This account, simply takes any design they like, slap $5 price on it and sell on gumtree: https://www.figma.com/@motaaaaa This abuses Figma community to advertise youtube videos. https://www.figma.com/@TDSunshine

So that i can make some elements closer to each other without framing them first

Our Team doesn’t use this function “Figma Jam” and when adding new members It’s enabled by default and have to manually restrict it so I won’t get charged. Can we just have this disabled by default instead and Billed/Enabled only when Figma Jam is used?

In Figma, sections can be double clicked on their edge to resize based on their contents. This feature is missing in FigJam.

If there is going to be scheduled maintenance, it would be awesome if we were informed at least 30-60 minutes before, in the app. Today I found there was one scheduled, but only by going to status.figma.com. The only reason I did that is because the app stopped working and so I checked if it was down. I also didn’t realize I couldn’t reload tabs, so all my progress was halted.

A button saying “Your content is out of view” when you are in a blank section of canvas and want to return to where you have content. For those of you who are familiar with Framer, there is a button that does exactly this and I have found it quite useful.

Our team loves the new variables. In particular, we’ve found it helpful to manage UI copy translations. I would love to be able to import the string variables from a CSV into the variables collection and their respective modes. This way, I could collaborate with our translators and then import all the strings into Figma variables at once. Thanks!

Hi, there is some problem with me, I paid by 1 year. Why does locked my project? I just test figjam 1 day with my friend, and I didn’t have any information that I must pay for 2 seats. It’s unacceptable!!! How can I fix that?? Do I must pay for the 2 seats then unlock the project???

I spend hours or days working in a file. Comments on previous files I’ve worked on are missed because the notification bell and badge aren’t viewable when you’re in a file.

When scanning my text styles for one I want, its hard to differentiate them from the folders containing them in the right side toolbar. Can we make them bold or zebra stripe them or something? I have emojis in there now, which helps, but it seems like this should be built into the ui, especially since many people wouldnt know you can put emojis there, and it could make things wonky for devs depending on how they export.

Currently (to my knowledge) there is no way to create a Pressed state in an interactive component that also toggles, such as a radio button or checkbox. Currently, when using the “while pressing” interaction, on release it always goes back to the prior state. For example, if you want distinct hover and press states for a radio button, it will send you back to the hover state with nothing selected while pressing. Instead, I’d like it to change to the selected state instead. It’s subtle, but if you look at Uber’s radio button, it has distinct hover, press, and selected states. I don’t want to be forced to remove my intended press state just because Figma can’t display an interactive component this way. The solution would look like an option to “Set release destination” in the prototype panel when “while hovering” is selected.

It is completely bonkers that search results can’t be refined further than “your entire organization.” Our organization has hundreds of teams, tens of thousands of files. I need to search inside teams, and inside projects. Ideally I need to search inside subfolders that live in those projects - it will always be so strange that we can’t make subfolders - but I don’t want to ask for too much at once. 🙂

Please add input search, is difficult searching components :c

It would be helpful to have objects on a frame and then have the ability to show them when you hover over something or click on something. UXPin has this and it makes prototyping so much faster.

What do you think of this feature; allowing Figma users to import table data from Excel sheet and present the table on canvas, styled as specified by the user before importing the data. I specify my number of Col, row to match the what’s on the excel sheet and I browse to file and click Import. Please can we have the feature on next update please.

There are two basic conventions for writing design tokens: action.color.primary action-color-primary I would like an option with ‘.’ for consistency with our design token naming convention but this character is not supported.

As in CSS, a Child with an absolute position relates its position to the first Parent with a relative position. This could be possible when setting overlays in Prototype if you add a few options in Prototype mode: Set as relative - option available for the element selected, same as “Scroll behaviour” shows when selecting an element; Listen to the first relative parent - option available for any overlay and when that is enabled the overlay positions itself to the first relative parent instead of the element that is used to trigger it. This should not break existing prototypes.

My team create slides with Figma today, it becomes a trouble when export that we have to use plug-ins. We hope slide functions can be noticed, like playing fullscreen on the pc. All our best wishes to Figma, thanks.
