Here’s my understanding of the current level of code syntax support in comments and annotations, which I discovered through trial and error: Annotations: inline code snippets are supported with markdown `like this`, but code blocks with triple backticks are not supported Comments: neither inline code snippets nor code blocks are supported Please expand code snippet support!  Annotation: Comment: 

When clicking “Review library updates” (with the blue notification dot on the library icon), the Manage Libraries panel still opens to the Recommended tab instead of Updates. This makes it easy to miss actual updates — especially since the Updates tab no longer displays any visual indicator to show that updates are available.The Recommended tab is useful, but it’s far less important than reviewing and accepting library updates, which happen more frequently and directly impact active work.Two improvements would make this clearer and more consistent: Default the panel to the “Updates” tab whenever updates are available. Add a visible indicator to the Updates tab itself (e.g., a blue dot or badge count), so updates remain obvious even if the user switches tabs or reopens the panel. These small changes would make library up

Figma is a powerful design tool that allows designers to create and collaborate on projects seamlessly. However, as the number of projects grows, organizing your workspace can become a daunting task. Finding specific projects can be difficult, especially if your workspace is cluttered and disorganized. Fortunately, Figma provides users with the ability to create folders and subfolders to keep their projects organized and easily accessible. One of the most useful features of Figma is the ‘Drafts’ section, which allows you to save incomplete or unfinished projects. This feature is especially handy when you need to work on multiple projects simultaneously, but don’t want to clutter your workspace with unfinished designs. The ‘Drafts’ section gives you the ability to save your progress, so you can come back to it later. To add a folder to your Drafts section, follow these easy steps: Click on the ‘Drafts’ section located on the left-hand side of your Figma das

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

When adding a conditional on click interaction in Figma, the boolean only switches the variable on/off and there is no option to smart animate the boolean variable.

Multiple times per week I go to hit CMD + A or CMD + W in regular use and accidentally quit everything. Maybe some people like being able to quit quickly but it’d be nice to have an option to turn on a “Hold CMD + Q to Quit” blocker like Chrome has. Or just a confirmation to quit. 

@Figma ^^^ This issue has comments disabled, but it’s still a problem. When are you going to fix it?

I’m hoping for a Figma Make integration for Gitlab like they did for Github so I can more easily share the code with developers at my company. I think the workaround is to ‌download a zip from Figma Make and place into a project in an IDE like VSCode to then connect to Gitlab. It’s not ideal, especially for designers.Hopefully I’m not missing a better solution that exists.

When using Auto Layout for an entire page flow, not everything is spaced equally. For example, imagine a page like: Toolbar Heading Paragraph Input Button To put all of these into a single Auto Layout and give equal spacing to all of it is not typically how it’d work (eg, Toolbar + Heading might be close together, but more spacing around above and below the Input). To use the benefits of Auto Layout, I wrap these objects into their own Auto Layout frames and then use the padding within these nested frames to create the spacing between elements. It’d be great to be able to apply margins to objects (like text frames or other frames) without having to first nest them into their own individual frames. This would be closer to how CSS typically works as text elements (h1, h2, p, …) don’t need to be nested in a div to have margin added to them.

I think it would be really cool to have a feature on our community pages to have a section for portfolio. The idea would be you can share projects/case studies as well as bucket items. I’d love to just use my Figma community profile but I don’t want to share projects that others can download at times. There could be something pretty cool here. 

Why you placed this button so far? It would be nice to group all the buttons together. Now I have to move my cursor far from other actions I’m working with.  

Hi! First of all-- congratulations on the release of CMS! I’m already super excited to create stuff with it and I’ve been playing around with it this morning. Hereby my humble feature requests for the future of CMS!Categories and tags with separate pages for their content. Search and date picker (for events) functionality. I would love to see component swapping supported inside CMS, so that I can pick a different component per CMS article if I want to highlight it on my list with a special component for example. (A feature like this would be ~ incredibly ~ powerful.) Or/and, the ability to change page variables in a CMS item, so you can for example change the colors of the page based on the variables set in the item. The ability to connect CMS fields to the SEO, so you can attach a meta description and social sharing image to each CMS article. The ability to hide CMS items from lists but still have them in your database and vi

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Hello everyone! I think having a shortcut to open/close the local variables would be very helpful. For example in cases where I’m prototyping and need to access the local variables to ensure the accuracy of the variable names or values that I’m assigning in the interactions. Currently, if I want to do this, I have to switch between the prototype panel to the design panel in order to open the local variables, check them and then go back to prototype. Note: I am aware that it is possible to keep the local variables window open, but this often leads to numerous bugs in the prototype. For example, when it is open, I am unable to drag the prototype interactions to reorder them.

Figma supports enabling/disabling some OpenType features from the UI.https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/4913951097367-Use-OpenType-features From the plugin API I can see which features are being enabled withhttps://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/TextNode-opentypefeatures/but the property is read-only. How can I programmatically enable/disable some OpenType features?Also, is there a reason why it’s accessible on UI but not Plugin API?

I’m surprised that after three years, FigJam still doesn’t support vertical text alignment in shapes. This has been a longstanding request (as evidenced by this older forum thread), and it’s a must-have for creating clean and professional-looking diagrams. Being able to align text to the top, center, or bottom of a shape is a standard feature in most design and diagram tools, and its absence in FigJam makes it harder to organize content quickly and consistently. Please consider adding vertical text alignment options to improve productivity and the overall user experience in FigJam.

Organization would be immensely helpful if we could create folders for our drafts. I want to be able to organize my drafts into different categories (such as UI kits, Ideas, Wireframe kits, iOS, Android, etc…) so I can find files easily. Right now, the drafts page is a huge jumbled mess and I can’t create Team pages for everything. Maybe something as simple as being able to add ‘tags’ to each file, similar to Zeplin.

Hi everyone, As you know, being able to add negative padding is a must when creating design systems. However Figma only allow negative values in the inner-spacing between elements in auto-layout. We found a workaround and thought it would be useful to share it with the community. If you define a local variable, type number, and add a negative value (e.g. -4px), you can then apply this variable to the auto-layout padding and it will work. In summary: use local variables to define negative values and apply such variable to the padding.

Similar to linking the string variable to component properties to update the variantWhy not component linking with same solution? Just need to have same structured nameThis enables component usage mapping, figma make also can easily configure the global component if we have this function ready and running

I would love to see the ability to define a set of brand colors within a Figma Buzz template that end users can easily apply to (parts of) text.Specifically, it would be great if template creators could: Add a predefined selection of brand colors to the template. Make these colors available as text color options for users of the template. Allow users to apply these colors to specific words or text selections (not just entire text blocks). Use case:For branded social posts or marketing materials, users often want to emphasize or highlight a specific word in a headline or sentence using a brand color.At the moment, users can technically change text colors by unlocking the template. However, this removes all restrictions.What’s missing is a controlled middle ground: Users should be able to select a word and apply one of the predefined brand colors.

It’s a distraction to look at the files that I won’t be using again. I want few files to be stored but not as active ones. It’s better if we have tabs or statuses for the files like active and archived. Did you guys feel the same?

Another post requesting some way to differentiate pinned tabs from each other.The option to change the favicon, colored, or letting the title run into an ellipses — one of these or all of the above. As it stands right now,  having them as a small squares with no way to tell them apart doesn’t make them nearly as useful.

I’d love to be able to copy and paste conditionals/variables statements, this would save time and errors. For example, I used a similar if statement multiple times and just needed to change 1 or 2 variables and numbers. But to do so, I had to re-write the statements every time.

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.
