Published Variable Adjustment - Editing Non-Local Variables

Can I edit the variables defined in a published library locally? There is a library file (Say File A) with a collection of local variables defining some string and numbers shown on a component. The component is published (with all variables too) I added this component to another file, say File B, but when I want to edit those strings and numbers locally in this File B, I can no longer see the these variables, nor editing them. Seems like I can only edit the published component in the library File A (if I have edit access) and this will change all the instances too. Can I instead edit it locally, meaning edit the values of these publish variables only in File B?

Proposal: add an Annotations panel, i.e. a List view for Annotations

Annotations can be hard to find and are often critical. A central spot that allows me to make sure I see them all would be very welcome. I’d suggest clicking an item on the list in the panel should focus the element and its annotation in the main canvas. Thanks.

Mock scroll position

As a designer, I’m frequently mocking up flows in which a user must scroll down to take an action. In order to accomplish this, I end up removing auto layout and manually moving the content to the intended position.It would be excellent if we could set a scroll position in design mode, or simply use a scroll tool to click and drag the content.

Ability to hide pages from Figma Buzz template

I’ve started using Figma Buzz to create templates for our clients. I love that I can publish a template, send them a link and then they can use a copy for their own uses without accidentally breaking the design when the guidelines are locked. I also love the bulk create feature within it. There’s just one thing I’m struggling to be able to do. Within our company we create thumbnail covers for all our design files and Figjam boards and slides so that when we see them within our team folders we can easily identify which project is which. These usually have details like what type of file it is, the project name, the client etc. When I add one of these in to my Figma Buzz file, it’s visible as a page in the published template link. I would like to find a way to hide this from the published template link, so that it’s only visible to us. If there’s already a way to do this, please let me know 😄 but if not I would love to suggest this as a feature.

Constraints Issue with Fixed Layers in Prototype Mode

Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with a bug for years now. We all know that to make a layer stretch with the frame horizontally, we can set its constraints to “Left + Right.” However, when the layer is set to “Fixed” in the Prototype tab, it’s no longer possible to select “Left + Right” in the constraints. I noticed that several people have reported this issue in the past few years(Here). Is there any chance this could be fixed soon? (It’s really frustrating!)

Figma sites micro interactions

As far as I saw for now, it’s not possible to create an interaction that drives the user to a certain page section.It’s helpful to be able to assign the html tag to our ‘blocks’ and define if it’s a div, section, and so on; but we need a way to assign ID to the divs so we can redirect to specific sections on the screen from everywhere in our site.Example: inside a page we can have several sections (about the company, about the team, about the company values, about the open roles and career paths) and we could include those sections in a footer menu to easily redirect users to their specific section without the need for them to scroll looking through to find the info they are interested in.It’s a normal micro interaction in websites, and it would be nice to have it included in the final feature.

Layout Guides Visibility: Restrict to Source Components Only

Currently, when layout guides are added to a component, they also appear in all instances of that component across the design file. This causes significant visual clutter especially in high-fidelity UI screens where the focus should be on the content and layout, not the guide structure used during component creation. We’d like to suggest that layout guides be visible only in the source component, and not inherited by its instances.

Option to “Delete All Layout Guides” in Figma File

I’d like to suggest a small but powerful improvement to the layout guides workflow in Figma: an option to delete all layout guides at once from a frame or page. Currently, users must manually remove guides one by one, which becomes tedious and time consuming especially when working with complex layouts or multiple frames. A single-click option to “Clear All Layout Guides” (similar to how rulers or grids can be toggled) would significantly speed up workflows and improve usability.

Accessibility for Figma Slides

Hi everyone! Why “accesibility settings” are not available for Figma Slides too? It would be very useful, also to download accessible pdf. Please add it soon. Thank you 🙂

Creating changelogs in a table automatically

Hi Figma community. I would like to know if any of you uses a way to make changelogs automatically that update once there has been a change in the components (in our design system library) and that it can detect the type of change that has been done, the name of the component, date.If you know any plugin that can work for this please let me know!

Remove automatic link formatting when pasting email addresses and links

i know this has been posted before, but Figma really needs to address this issue. pasting an email address should not just format the existing text as a link with the new text as a destination. when creating prototypes with lots of dummy accounts, or even with real data, copying and pasting lots of emails becomes the hardest part of my day, and there are no key shortcuts either. i have to copy, then right click, paste to replace. or “copy as text.” it’s obnoxious, and frankly i don’t think anyone using Figma has ever needed a functional email link for a prototype, it’s not like we’re creating live products where someone might actually click the email link to send an email. please fix this Figma, it’s infuriating and breaks the flow of creating prototypes. When basically every prototype i create for work requires a list of users and their contact information, it becomes a daily problem which destroys efficiency. at the very least, allow us to paste them without formatting using cmd+shif

Showing / Hiding Annotations Based on Category / Plugins Support

Hello,Our team is using the new annotations feature for category, and something that would be nice as a feature add is the ability to toggle showing and hiding annotations based on category. This would enable content team members to toggle just content annotations and dev teams to toggle dev and accessibility, etc. maybe somewhere in this panel​​​​Another item of discussion is if Figma allows plugin creators to access annotations. There are a lot of really great plugins out there for annotating automatically. Envinced has a really nice one for example called Design Assistant. This tool will scan the page and then add annotations through their plugin, but as new frames on your page. Some large workflows might have hundreds of screens, so the more and more frames and such added isn’t the most valuable. Having a way for plugin creators to access annotations where their automation would apply them there instead of as frames would be really great. Thanks!-Amber

Interaction between Figma Make and existing design systems

As far, Figma make can be used in a Figma site page to make code-real sections, elements and interactions, but if it’s applied over a component coming from a design system (in a figma design file or in the figma side file) it overrides any component micro interaction making it hard to use it as a combo.For instance, I have a button CTA with a set of variants for the states: default, hover, focus, selected, loading, disabled. If I use this component in a Figma site (website-test) and click over it > go to Make icon-button and ask to include an interaction “when clicking on it download ‘X’ PDF file the component then loses all micro interactions (e.g., hover state)It seems something quite vanilla but the fact is, Make can help creating micro interactions Figma doesn’t have yet such as “download ‘x’ when clicking, or scroll to ‘x’ section of the page… and if it overrides components micro interactions (change variant to) it doesn’t have any sense for us to use it at all.Would be nice to

Improve PDF Export – File Size & Font Embedding Options

Hi Figma team,At the company I work for, we often send design PDFs to clients who aren't familiar with Figma prototypes. Email is our main channel, but exported PDFs are often way too large—even when using the TinyImage compressor plugin, which is slow and not always effective.It would be incredibly helpful to have:An option to disable font embedding.Basic PDF compression settings (e.g. image quality).A way to export text as vectors without manually outlining everything.Improving PDF export would really ease delivery for teams who rely on email-based workflows. Thanks!

Variables to support percentages

Figma has added percentages to text styles, which is fantastic. However, when the style is linked to a variable, the percentage is removed, and uses px units instead. I am trying to set up my design system using a scalable token system, and little features that don’t quite work are so frustrating. Please allow variables to support percentages! It will help us not need to use plugins like Token Studio.

Allow for larger readable text in annotations

My eyesight isn’t terrible, I do wear glasses, but the annotations text is too small and makes reading it quite difficult. Perhaps allow for setting the annotations text size in a user’s own seat account?Also, why on earth are annotations hidden behind a paywall? This is crazy. I can’t use them with my clients so I have to use my own annotations library instead which is obviously less convenient. Ta!

Figma Mirror as Desktop in Different Screen

Can we look into a feature where you allow the users to mirror a particular screen in full screen mode.As I am using a different monitor to extend my poreview windows, I would like top click on the desired frames and display to quickly on my extended desktop monitor. Likewise it alllows me to preview my ongoing design in real time.This is just a suggestion, if you guys can implement this.

Feature Request: Duplicate Variables Collection

We currently can only Rename, Delete or Create a collection. Can we have an option to Duplicate an existing collection? This would allow users to quickly create copy of an existing collection of variable, then select a new design and switch from one collection to another without having to type everything. Example use case: Brand 1 (Collection) Colors (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) Fonts (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) After duplicating: Brand 2 (Collection) Colors (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode) Fonts (Group) Light (Mode) Dark (Mode)

Make variable groups collapsible

Hi Figma Team, I would love to have an option to collapse variable groups in the variable modal. Problem: Every time I’m opening the variable modal, each group is being expanded. Having a lot of component tokens as variables, this means either: Collapsing each group manually, until I get to the desired variable group. Or scrolling a looong way down until I reach the desired variable group. Solution: A) By default variable groups should be collapsed, not expanded B) A shortcut to collapse all groups

Prototype Action Overlay - Expose Nested Component Properties

Hi everyone,Today I discovered that in Prototype Action > Overlay, you can manually move a component and have it always positioned relative to the main component. This is super useful for dropdowns, context menus, and displaying their respective lists.My problem/Feature Request:The prototype works great, but my components live in a design system and are published for other designers to use.In this example, if a designer insert an Instance of the ContextMenu component into their file, there’s no way to access or override the properties of the list (MenuList).Is there a way to do this that I just don't know about? Or would it make sense to offer every overlay component (MenuList) as an exposed component within the main component (ContextMenu)?What do you think?The red stroked container show my suggestion

Find and Replace Texts for Links

Seems like now Figma “find and replace” feature doesn’t include embeded links. It’ll be very helpful if you can include links too, by providing “links” filter option. Please, add it. Thank you.

Support "," character in Number variable values

While establishing local variables for a dashboard with large-scale numbers, I’m finding that the value field does not support “,” (commas) as a character. This makes numbers beyond 3 digits much harder to read at a glance. It also breaks stylistic choices for typographic reasons. One solution that comes to mind is to have a global style mode for whether commas are auto-placed in numeric strings, either at the local variable stage for numbers or in type-setting options. This would reduce work on the user’s end for having to manually place every comma, and also ensure consistency from a calculation standpoint (so that Figma has an accurate number to reference in equations).

Prevent interaction hotspots from triggering below fixed elements

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this A scrollable (clickable) list of items triggers the interaction even if a fixed element overlaps it. Additionally, this bug occurs even if that overlaping element has a “Tap → None” Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Stumbled upon this issue when I had to position an iOS keyboard on top of an interactive list of elements. Demo file and steps to reproduce: Start the prototype from https://www.figma.com/file/GpbLNhQGrYKCTFO8aZy8BK/Hotspot-bug Click the gray bottom rectangle with or without scrolling It wrongly triggers the hotspot from the “background” items
