Currently, annotations only allow you to select the lowest level layers it can find. Many, many times I just want to document something on a whole group or frame, and it doesn’t look like this is possible, which seems like a huge miss.

Find & Replace text is incredibly helpful, but the functionality can have unhelpful/unintended consequences when updating text across components and instances. Current behavior: Find and replace does not distinguish or prioritize between replacing text in parent components, component instances, or strings not within components. This means that if text is replaced within instances, it treats those strings as overridden, and changes to the text in the parent component will no longer automatically update in those instances. Expected behavior:Find and replace text in components before instances (including instances within other components) and update search results before replacing text in component instances. This allows component instances to have relevant text updated by the parent component when possible and not overwriting text strings within instances that shouldn’t be customized. 

Hey guys,Can you make the billing section more viible? Everytime I have to pay for Figma I forget where the invoicing is, I literally spend 10 mintutes to find the billing section to pay my invoice, when I have to do it manually. Every time.

How about the option to choose which export file type is the default when exporting graphics? (i.e. SVG or PNG rather than JPEG) … this would make our devs REALLY happy! 🤩

I have a problem where I have noticed that when a designer detaches a design and it is using hidden components within it, that it ends up decoupled from the library… I was always under the impression that since it is a component in the library, that if it was detached it would still be able to receive updates via these hidden components… I have realized this is not the case.I think a new feature request should be made to allow hiding the components from the asset panel view (which is what people actually want from the hiding feature) without losing the link to the library.If the feature intent is to not publish these components at all, I am not understanding why when we detach, why those hidden components don’t detach as well? This is what gave me the false notion that they would still be able to receive updates, since they are still an attached component -- but attached to the wind it seems...Design system maintainers are not looking to not fully publish these

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

I’d like to disable comments while I’m working so the client doesn’t comment on it in real time. And be able to turn it back on when the design is done.

Edit: Moved to Share Feedback ContextMy company heavily uses Figma variables and are looking to build out multiple collections each having a unique set of modes. One example would be around Buttons—two collections would be made, one for states and another for size. There would be many other collections that would need to be created to create a comprehensive design system. Caveat: This use case may be an edge case or unique to me.ProblemThe current variable window is very inflexible:Can’t view your list of collections outside of a dropdown feels clunky Can’t resize the left panel with the list of variables Can’t reorder modes (I may be missing something here on why that is built that way)SuggestionsWould be nice to treat the variables’ left panel like the main pages and layer panels Collections could be treated like pages and would be housed in

Can anyone figure out how to reorder the list of variable collection in the fill dropdown? The layer ‘mode’ assignment appears to sort correctly alphabetically, but the pick list under the fill menu does not, which is a huge painpoint, and will definitely lead to my designers picking the first color they see instead of the semantic one. Correctly sorted - numerical Incorrectly sorted - 2. is at the top instead of 1.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When I am tagged in a lot of comments in Figma in a short amount of time or throughout the day, the amount of email notifications I get is overwhelming, but I don’t want to turn them off because I forget to check the specific files for comments if I don’t get an email. It would be great to have an option to get a rollup of all your notifications in one email for the day so that I can check for it at the beginning of the day and take action on that feedback all at once. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

These are new and improved color formats that replace hex and rgb. They will soon become the standard in web browsers. They open up more colors than are currently possible. The Expanding Gamut of Color on the Web | CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks

So this boggles me. Why can’t I change (override) the opacity of a referenced color-variable, without having to detach it? To me a color and an opacity value are two different things. So if I want an opacity on my referenced color e.g. “Blue-950” I have to detach it and change the value to my liking, now it is not referenced to the variable collection anymore. A workaround is to add that “Blue-950” with the desired opacity in the variable collection and then reference that new “Blue-950-50-percent”. It is so annoying that you can’t change opacity on the fly without loosing reference!!!

Currently, only Preview and Code edit modes are visible. Are additional editing modes accessible?

It would be amazing and so useful if we could make presentations with AI in Figma Slides. Right now I kind of wing it by pasting from make to slides, but the result is messy and it gets messier when exporting to ppt or pdf. This would be a game changer! 

hey there! variables seems to be super nice but what i am missing is that if i make a colour alias to a specific collection - i can’t set the opacity separately (e.g. colour 50 with 20% opacity) So basically i want the colouyr to be from another collection and i want to set the alpha seperatly (controlled as rgba - since i dont need it as opacity) Example how we can fix this in token studio:

Searching for plugins has become more common in some scenario than built-in features in figma. It would greatly improve workflow if we could add most used plugins to sidebar or have just 1 click away instead of 3click, writing, click. Multiply it X times per day and it become usability inefficiency.Summary of suggestions:add sidebar of plugins plugins are picked by selecting from favorites plugins are 1-click away sidebar is optional and can be turned off or when empty

Many people have said the same thing, but I’m here to recommend supporting percentages within auto layout. I’ve seen many people asking for the same thing.Percentage width auto layout would help us be more efficient. Auto layout “Fill container” is great for sections being sized equally (50/50 or 30/30/30).When we’re designing content with sections, the sections are generally not the same width as each other to indicate importance.Myself and many other designers would love to have autolayout support something like this:The main container has the same spacing all the way around Each section takes up a specifid percentage of the container (70% and 30%) When the modal grows and shrinks, those sections maintain their width of 70% and 30%  Without spacing With spacing 800px wide

Our app has right click options but are limited to one click only with Figma. Would anyone else be interested in having right vs left click options for prototyping?

There is currently no way to give Figma Make files a cover thumbnail. For organizations that use thumbnails to help provide visual structure to their Figma work, this is an essential missing piece. 

I’d like to be able to choose a thumbnail (either a frame from the video, or upload a thumbnail) for an object that has Video fill. Currently Figma uses the first frame of the video as the thumbnail, and if that video starts all black, then the thumbnail is just black. It will show fine in prototype view or mirror once the video starts playing, but when you are editing it would be helpful to see a frame of the actual video so you can adjust properties of elements (e.g. colors, opacities, gradients) and see what they’ll look like composited with video.

Hey, guys! Recently I start to prototype an UI for LCD display device. It doesn’t have any pixel opacity control, only pure contrast essentially. I discovered Figma doesn’t have any way to turn off anti-aliasing for vectors. So ofcourse I became frustrated. Such cool editor and still don’t have basic things. Guys, we need to cover this.  

Can we have the feature to apply variables to X and Y axes

Hi,I'm working on a Figma Slides project that requires animating text line by line within a single text box, but I've encountered a limitation. Currently, Figma only allows us to animate entire text boxes as single units, regardless of how many lines of text they contain.It would be incredibly useful if we could apply different animations to individual lines of text that are separated by line breaks/returns within the same text box. For example, having line 1 fade in, then line 2 slide in from the right, and line 3 scale up—all within a single text box.This would enable more sophisticated text animations without requiring designers to split text into multiple separate text boxes (which creates maintenance headaches when content changes).Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or could the Figma team consider adding this capability in a future update? Or is it already there and I’ve just missed it?Thanks for your help!

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables:
