Suggest a Feature

Figma: If you’re used to working in another design tool, you may find it strange that your text styles in Figma don’t include traits like color or justification. Although it could take some getting used to, hopefully the benefits of this approach will quickly become clear. Well, no it didn’t. And strange indeed. In addition to getting used to, it takes a lot of time to to change the color every single time I create a new text element, because our text color is not black. Having a default color saved with text styles would be SO. MUCH. EASIER. I see no reason why the color can’t be in there and also be changed when using the style, if necessary.

I want to suggest a feature. You developed a new hidden panel option, but it’s actually annoying that I can’t hide the Design and Prototype panel when selecting an object. When I’m trying to drag and move elements, I don’t always need that panel — I only use it occasionally to make changes to the object. I’d like to be able to drag freely inside my workspace, especially since my laptop screen is small and the panel takes up a lot of space.

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

Sidebar sections are crucial for our team. We recently downgraded from Organization to Professional and the sidebar sections were removed. I understand they are only for Organization and Enterprise plans, but I ask that you make them available to all paid plans, since there are many organizations with smaller teams who cannot afford Organization or Enterprise plans.

It would be nice to have a video player that is also available for user that have no edit permissions on a FigJam. Now it’s not possible to pause/play while not editor.

It seems like Figma Make can import a library but only takes the default variable mode. Is there a way to import using different variable mode or change after importing?

Thanks for adding annotations to Design Mode. I have been spending the last day annotating some new design ideas. People who have access to the Figma file love that they can read come design rationale and interaction behaviors. For others, who do not have access, or do not use Figma it would be great if I can export the annotations associated with objects inside a frame.  Thanks, K.

I’d like to be able to export a page from Figma to PDF. So far I see this works quite well in FigJam (you can either export all as one file or individual selected section, but Figma does not support exporting section, only frames can be exported. 😦 frowning: User story: As a teacher, I want my students to up-load their designs to our grading platform (Gradewok), so I can grade and archive their work. PDF works great for this because it can be viewed in Gradework. A local copy does not work well because that means I have to download the files and open them in Figma again. Making the grading proces way to time consuming. As a teacher I want my students to be able to easily export their work from Figma So I don’t have to guide them through a multi-step process, knowing that students are likely to delay their export to the last minute and will be in a time crunch when exporting (and upload) for their work, the current way of exporting is not sufficiently supporting this.

The library we are using in our company can be modified by several people in the team. When I want to publish changes to the library, sometimes I would see changes I didn’t make. Or sometimes it was a change I actually made that had an impact on another component, but it’s difficult to understand right away given that you can’t have a close look at what has changed exactly (the preview is so tiny!) It would be great to have some kind of before/after preview each time I hover one of the components in the “changes” list. It would reduce the risk of publishing wrong components that are not well built. Because right now I always have to ask my team if they have touched anything in the library which is getting tiresome to be honest. Thanks ✨

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

The ProblemWhen working on long artboards, particularly for mobile designs or landing pages, selecting the entire artboard is inefficient. If I am scrolled to the bottom of the page, I have to scroll all the way back to the top just to click the artboard's name/title. This breaks the design workflow for a very common action. Proposed SolutionAllow a user to select an artboard from any point within its boundaries. A possible implementation could be: When the user hovers over an empty area of an artboard, its name (e.g., "iPhone 14 Pro - 1") appears as a clickable tooltip or overlay. Clicking this name would select the entire artboard frame. This provides a quick selection method without interfering with selecting other layers, as it would only appear over the artboard's empty background. BenefitThis feature would significantly speed up workflow and reduce unnecessary scrolling, making the design process smoother for anyone working with long-format content.

Please include 3:1 arrow end terminations. 1:1 ratio arrows look goofy.On the left is what is currently available with Figma. On the right is a moc up of what I’m asking for.   

 Hi everyoneFigma is the central hub for our design work, but two critical parts of the product development lifecycle often happen in separate, disconnected tools: user research and font creation.I'm proposing two powerful new features that could bring these essential workflows directly into Figma: 'Forum': An integrated tool for creating and analyzing user surveys. 'Type': A professional tool for designing and creating typography (fonts).  

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? I can’t resize sticky notes manually - this would be really nice though. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but it feels like a missing Feature. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? Yes. Post a Sticky… try to change it. 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? I can only test it in the browser Mircosoft edge (company policy…) 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? Mircosoft Edge Version 90.0.818.42

It seems that it is only possible to change the radius of a rectangle by using the handles in a newly drawn or pasted rectangular shape but it is not possible to adjust the radius of a frame. There are also no way in the right panel to enter a specific value. Use case: I am pasting a mobile design from a Figma Design file into Figma Slides and want to round the corner of the frame and that is not possible.

I can’t imagine this feature request isn’t already out there in the wild in various forms, but I can’t find it and it’s a glaring black hole when it comes to basic UI design.We’ve all needed to build (or at the very least encountered) a UI element that opens an overlay on click or hover (help text, nav drop-downs, etc.)And yet, here we are in Figma in 2025, where building such interactions into a component that lives on a separate page with other neatly organized components BREAKS THE INTERACTION when an instance of said component is placed on other pages.It’s like one of the most basic use cases and Figma cannot handle it. Not without janky “workarounds” that ignore the real problem. (Just saying, if the majority of what I try to do in Figma requires a “workaround,” there are deeper issues.)

In the current implementation of Figma’s Version History, timestamps are displayed in relative terms such as “25 days ago” or “1 month ago.” While this provides a general indication of when a change occurred, it falls short in scenarios where users need to locate a specific version tied to an exact date or time. Proposal:To enhance usability, I propose the addition of a tooltip that reveals the full date and time when hovering over these relative timestamps. For example, placing the cursor over “25 days ago” could display “17 June 2025, 14:43.”Although this solution may not be exhaustive, it would significantly improve the user’s ability to identify and retrieve specific versions with greater precision, all without disrupting the existing user interface. 

It’s already possible to link a Jira ticket to the Figma file. It would be great to be able to do the same with a clickup ticket.

When I want to access annotations via API on edit mode, I just need to check the node.annotations object.It would be great to also have a node.measurements object to work with.When annotations came to edit mode in beta at my org, I created a plugin for deleting all annotations after a colleague complained they needed to delete them for stakeholders.I’ve got someone asking to make it work with measurements as well, but that’s not really possible without a new API endpoint for it accessible via edit mode.

Sometimes when trying to add a trigger to an object, I cannot choose a trigger (e.g. “on click” or “after delay”) because it’s already taken, even though no prototyping noodle is showing up. In the prototyping panel I then notice that the action is set to “none”. I wish that I could just overwrite a prototyping trigger from the interaction panel if the action is set to “none”.

It is possible to shift click an input that has the “apply variable” icon on hover.I suggest having the same functionality across all inputs where you can apply a variable to. Would save a lot of clicks! Example (currently): i can shift click ‘line height’ input to open the variables paneli cannot shift click the ‘fonts’ input to open the variables panel

It would be beneficial to have version control in Figma Make, or at least the ability to publish changes to a "QA" instance. Currently, the only way to test app changes across different browsers is to publish them and hope for the best!

Hey community,I’d love to see more basic animations to improve the prototyping experience:Figma lacks “fade in” or “slide in” animations, which could be triggered automatically as the screen is initiated. This would notably improve the prototypes without the need to resort to extra tools or to create extra screens to bootstrap the microanimation.What do y’all think?
