Screen Links Feature

I want to reference a screen from one project in another project for flow purposes. But I don’t want it to be editable and I want it to stay updated if that screen has any changes. I also want it to be clear that it’s a “screen link” and just in that project for flow purposes. Currently the designer has to manually copy and paste a screen from one project to another, it’s not clear that it’s just a reference screen from another project and it will eventually be out dated if/when that screen gets design updates. Screen Links will allow for better organization but most importantly a clear source of truth.

Multi-edit dimensions

If I multi-select one item into a component set I should be able to set the dimensions (Fixed, Hug, Fill, Add min, Add max, apply variable) in all the items. Right now if you multi-select one item used into different components you only have the option to set a variable

Make swap overlay default when 2 overlays detected

Hi, I am wondering if you could handle this repetitive work: When I’ve got an overlay with many states, I connect these states with “Swap overlay” but the persisting default is “Navigate to” so I have to change it every time I create a new link. Would it be possible to detect if both view are overlays and auto-set “Swap overlay” as default. I imagine it would auto select for a case when both views already have an in/out “swap overlay” or incoming “open overlay” link.

Adjust the column width of variable names within local variables menu

It would be really nice if I could manually change the width of the name column within the local variable settings. We sometimes use names that are quite long, and I now cannot read the entire variable name because it’s automatically shortened. Allowing me to adjust the width of that column would solve the problem.

Plugins in UI3 can't be moved to the top - clashing with the menu in the bottom

Plugins can’t be moved more up. Seems like it stops where the old navigation menu on the top used to be. Plugins, like Iconify or Photopea are not resizeable either. So while using them, I can’t access the bottom menu a lot of times. It would be a bit better if I could move them more up to show the bottom menu.

Merge only select elements

Maybe on confused on how the feature works. If the team is using for ideation and keeping the master branch clean for devs and clients. When it comes time to push elements from a branch to the master file, currently it pushes the entire branch. This is pointless. We don’t want all the ideation, all the options, all the throw away work, just the version that we moved forward with. Currently we need to make a new branch we call “to be merged” and we need to copy just the artboards that are approved into the new branch then merge from there. This feels like to many steps and is complicated on a team of 4 designers. Shouldn’t there be an option to select just the artboards, components, styles, etc that we want to bring forward and leave all the other work in the archived branch incase we need to go back and grab something from it in the future? Pushing everything makes the feature feel useless because you’re either deleting all your ideation or creating “merge” branches to make sure you do

Feature Request: Walkthrough with Audio

We’ve found it useful to have a designer record a walkthrough of a design for a distributed crowd. The audience gets the benefit of commentary with the advantages of async collaboration. Reviewers can watch on their own time, which is particularly handy if they were on PTO. Video can be paused to take a closer look and make comments. Rewind We use screencapture software to do this, resulting in an often low resolution view of the design. And reviewers have to switch back and forth between the video and the design file to make comments, not to mention having to manually follow the designer through the file. Request I would be amazing if the designer could record an audio walkthrough, synced such that it follows the designer’s cursor through the file. A seamless integration would be much lower effort for the designer. The design would be experience in full visual fidelity. The walkthrough would require less bandwidth than a video. The audience would need play controls at the top to al

Feature request: undock/detach and move the side panels

the problem i need as much real state as possible to view the designs and screens am working in a readable viewable way, if the makes sense. to come around this, i currently scroll around and zoom in and out, or hide and show the panels, most probably its a mix of both. either way it’s a annoying… or i need to buy another real big monitor, but i already have a 15" macbook pro, which is great and enough when i hide the panels. this might be a big problem for laptop users without a secondary big screen, or who are portable and don’t have a dedicated work space. this is specially evident when they need to widen the left panel in order to view and read the layers tree. (which is another issue maybe raised in another topic) suggestion make side panels modular (photoshop/illustrator kind of thing). assets, layers on the left panels can be separable and can be undocked and moved elsewhere separately. design, prototype, inspection on the right panel are also separable and can be undocked and m

LAUNCHED: Make standard thumbnail size → 1920 x 1080

Currently, project thumbnails call for a ~5:3 ratio → 1920 x 1152 in order to not be cropped. This seems arbitrary. With the advent of Figma Slides, now seems a good a time as any to make the standard into a traditional presentation ratio (1920 x 1080).

Ability to view analytics for color and text styles

The ability to view analytics for color and text styles, the same way you can for components. So being able to see how many usages there are for a given style, and then drill into a style to see all the files that it’s referenced from. This would be super helpful for my team as the number of styles always seems to grow but never shrink. So being able to see which ones are rarely or never used, would help us in identifying which to delete.

Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

Sharing new Figma UI3 UI Kit in the community

Hey there! As a design teacher I often need to use parts of the Figma interface in my slides to explain certain Figma’s features. It would be handy to have a new community template file where to pick up icons and parts of the new Figma interface in order to make these educational contents. The only official file is the UI2 UI Kit and it’s also pretty dated back to years ago.

Want the annotation mode to be displayed in the panel like a comment.

Annotation mode is useful, but when you write a lot of specifications, it clutters the screen and makes it difficult to concentrate. I want it to be an experience where you can read each comment in turn, like comments. Ideally, it would have the same visibility as the comment panel.

Support for zoom in presentation view

The presentation view needs to support zoom. Currently it’s impossible to view large frames in presentation view as we’re limited to 3 options: 100% display at full size Fit scale down to fit Scale down or up to fill #1 displays the content too big, and #2 and #3 display the content too small.

Figma Slides: Publishing template changes should auto-apply to existing slide decks

This seems like a very large design oversight in Figma Slides. The help article says that “Published changes only apply to new slide decks that are made with the template.” Doesn’t this defeat the entire purpose of having a custom template where you can edit a style and have it apply to your entire presentation, instead of needing to manually tweak a header style on every slide? I expected this to work the same way instances update in Figma Design when you make a change to the main component, but even after publishing changes to a custom template in Figma Slides, my existing slide deck that pulls from that template isn’t updating colors & text styles. The published template changes would only apply to brand new slide decks, which means I’d have to define the template first and then create my slide deck. That completely goes against the general approach to how many of us create slide decks. For example, I don’t make the template before I start the slide deck. I make my slide deck fi

Truncation in the middle of the text

It would be nice to have a bit different truncation for case where text doesn’t fit the area, but the ending is important.

UI3 separation of pages vs layers

Something about the old UI made it easier for me to understand that layers and pages were two sup panes. I think it was the fact that pages were indented a bit. It helped easily distinguish the pages and layers section of the left pane. Now with UI3 I find myself not being able to find where pages end and layers begin as easily. I need some sort of visual anchor here. My eye used to follow the negative space to the left of page names all the way down until I hit the layers area and now I feel like I’m going cross-eyed trying to find where my layers start and pages end.

Search tools

I believe for many UI designers starting out, finding tools are quite difficult. For example when I started out as a designer I did not know the kinsd of objects or shapes that will enable the constraints function. I think it will be a great idea to search tools,effects, etc. and directing users on how they can find whatever they are trying to find. I find even designers of more than 3 years have issues with the arrangement of the new UI and end up reverting back to the old UI. I believe the search feature will make this easier for them. Thank you for the platform to air my views.

Review Library, Present and Share closer

Review Library, Present and Share should be next to each other, since when you run Present and verify your prototype is very common case you decide to Publish, get new Library Uploads, or Share a link.

Right panel rework

Hi everyone. I came across a very strange logic in Position, Auto layout and Appearance sections of right panel. Maybe the names are random but width and hight belong together with corner radius. Transparency and corner radius together? Really? Wander how are they related. Although sizes and corner radius not really relate to the position section it was more understandable. And I would like to complain about all those three sections below component section, because of it it always jumps and might be even hidden if component is to complex. My ideas might be not good enough but you definitely need to rework the panel. Thanks

Figma touch screen compatibility

As the product landscape for technology evolves, we are seeing more laptops on the market integrate touch screen support. As it stands, Figma is a terrible user experience for touch screen users. This includes the Figma app on tablet, which is due for an update. It would be great to add a toggle function on the desktop app to select keyboard or touch UI, allowing users to select their preferred workflow experience.

Confirmation Prompt for Closing Figma with Multiple Projects Open

Hi Figma Team, I wanted to suggest a feature that would greatly enhance the user experience. Currently, when I have multiple projects or files open in Figma and I accidentally close the application, all my loaded projects are lost, and I have to reload everything when I reopen the app. This can be quite frustrating and time-consuming. Would it be possible to implement a confirmation prompt that asks users if they are sure they want to close the application when multiple tabs or projects are open, similar to the warning prompts seen in web browsers? This feature would help prevent accidental closures and save valuable time for users. Thank you for considering this request.

Both panels "Fold / Unfold" elements (arrows / chevrons)

Hi, Figma people. I really like your app. I know your are tired of numerous complaints and it is difficult to make everyone happy. Interfaces are exremely hard to create and maintain. But I have a big plead. I could not find the same request? Maybe I was not looking hard enough. → Please make bigger “Fold / Unfold” chevrons / arrows which are next to frames on the left panel and next to styles names on the right panel. I have a hard time to aim and hit correctly and sometimes I have to hit them several times until it folds / unfolds itself. The size of this opening arrows / chevrons is 3 to 4 times less then my cursor pointer arrow. Maybe its only me. I hope its only me. Thank you in advance 🙂
