When working with design tokens, not every variable should end up in an export. Internal aliases, private overrides, or work-in-progress tokens are often necessary inside the file but irrelevant for code.Right now there's no way to exclude individual variables from export.Extend the existing "Hide from publishing" checkbox so it also suppresses the variable from export output Or add a dedicated "Hide from export" checkbox (as shown in the screenshot)Low effort, high value. 🙌

it would be nice to see variable usages so one can actually know which variables are redundant. which variables are not tied to any property. its easy that way to say okay we are no longer using this based on a 0 or 3% usage then go ahead to delete. right now i have a whole lot of redundant variables which i don’t know about because an attempt to delete might cause error in the file.

Figma Make are not using my library components attached. It only picked “generic” ones. Both with “Attach design” and using a full design system library file.

I love the new variables feature but have hit a snag I’d love to see resolved. As I’m the only UX practitioner at my company, we only have the professional plan which means we can’t use branching. Instead, we have developed a system where we initial design in a “WIP” file, which is reviewed and iterated on until approved; at this point, we copy things over to a “Live” file. While working through that with some variables now in use, I discovered that there’s no way to copy variables between files. I can’t just use variables stored in a library because I need to get the variables from our WIP Library project into the Live Library product and, by their very nature, they can’t refer to the same library of variables (changes made to a variable value for the WIP library shouldn’t be automatically updated in the LIVE library). It would be helpful if one could either export and import variables by collection or individually. Or even if one could select one or more variables to copy and then pa

I have a few SVG shapes as part of the branding for a project I am working on. I’m in the process of building out a component library and for the primary CTAs, one of the shapes will be the background for the CTA. That white background would typically be a solid fill with border radius, and using Auto Layout would be able to grow and shrink based on the label overrides per instance. However, I am unable to get an SVG working as the frame’s fill. It does allow me to “Choose image” and select the SVG but it never displays. From the docs, there is no mention of using SVG for this, as opposed to PNG, JPG, etc, and I don’t see why we can’t use an SVG as a fill.

When creating a deck that has UI screens I’m working on in it, my natural process is to copy & paste the frame from my working file. However, if I try to resize the frame within Slides, the elements within the frame do not scale proportionally. I’d love to be able to use the Scale tool to make my frames fit more comfortably in my slides without having to export as a PNG or guess what scale the frame should be in before I paste it into the slides

When reviewing updates and deciding to accept a component update, can the number of components remaining be displayed up in the title? So something like “Review updates: 5 remaining” or “Review updates: 5 of 6”  

Can you please add the ability to add headings to the pages panel? I know Figma gave the option of 'dividers' by typing ' -'. But it would be good if you could make these headings (for exmaple, RESEARCH > Landscape> Insights > Survey'. The divider helps but still leaves you doing things like making an 'Archive' page with everything just dumped onto it, where it would be really good to have an 'Archive' heading, and then whatever pages you’re archiving underneath (for example).I’m also aware that many/most designers hack their own headings together by adding a page and giving it a heading name, but these are still actual pages and add a bit more confusion for other people using the file, and reduce consistency.Please? Not a huge amount of effort but massive value I reckon!

When creating overlays, there are cases when I want it to be positioned relative to the element that triggered it. For example, a tooltip that explains a button or image. Currently the only way to do that is to manually position the overlay. What would be nice/more efficient is to have an option to choose how I want the position to be calculated-- relative to the entire page, or relative to the element itself–with the same set of position options (centered, top left, top right, etc) that we currently have for alignment. That way overlay positions can be set quickly without the need for manual fiddling.

It would be very helpful to allow the Review updates modal to be resizable and for the image(s) shown to scale accordingly. When a large number of components are being updated it is tedious to have to continually zoom in and out depending on the size of the component. Being able to make the modal larger with an auto scaled visual of the components would save a lot of time.

Hello Figma Team,I really appreciate the new sidebar update and the overall improvements to the interface. However, I would like to share a usability concern regarding the vertical ruler.Currently, the sidebar overlaps and hides the vertical ruler, which makes it difficult to quickly access and place guides without collapsing the entire panel. This interrupts the workflow and adds unnecessary friction during design tasks, especially when working with alignment-sensitive layouts.It would be greatly appreciated if the vertical ruler could remain visible within the canvas area, even when the sidebar is expanded. I believe this small adjustment would significantly improve the overall user experience for many designers.Thank you for your continued efforts and improvements to the platform.

Hi everyone!  I have seen a lot of posts here about having to detach a fill of a layer in order to change the opacity and asking for opacity to be also able to save as its own variable, but this is not exactly my wish. I wish to define a variable that has a not a 100% fill, but rather references another color variable and has a different opacity without having to detach the referenced variable. Example use case:Alert component with 3 variants. In this case the “color” variable is the background in the first of the 3 variants (from left to right) and also the text and stroke color in the other two variants. “background” variable in this case only the background in the 3rd variant.  In light mode it is a light blue, but a solid light blue. In dark mode, instead of having to define a whole new “dark-gray-ish blue” color to reference here, I would just like to reference the “info/main” variable, with an opacity so that we stick to the same color. For FE, this makes no sense, seeing this, h

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep growing on the sides as we can see:but this growing effect (which is possible glad the ‘hug’) need to stop when reach the max width from the chip’s parent container and this, Figma can’t help me. So, th

I think the branching feature is very interesting and I can see it being of great use to my team as we are moving from Adobe XD to Figma. However, I would love to see a search functionality when browsing the branches in See all branches. I can see a potential issue in the future when looking for a specific branch made months ago. My idea is to use a branch for each JIRA ticket and name it accordingly. A search functionality would greatly help with the trackability of each design change.

Ability to create modal windows via "Open Overlay" is very convenient, but it would be nice to be able to use a specific token to darken the background in the "Background" section, so that the user would be able to change the tint or opacity for all modal windows at once, rather than each one individually. 

There is a great feature in Notion called “close redirecting browser tabs” This is a setting that, when toggled on, automatically closes a browser tab when a page open in the desktop app. It would be great if Figma had this feature as well. When I click on Figma links, I end up with lots of browser tabs like this, because the pages open in the Figma desktop app. I would love if these tabs auto-closed.

Make a copy button is prominent and copy button is almost ununderstandableI have been using Figma Make a lot recently and keep running into the same UX issue.On the top-right of the interface, there are two very similar actions:Copy Design (small icon button) Make a copy (large primary button)The problem is that visually, “Make a copy” is much more prominent, so muscle memory makes me click it almost every time when my actual intention is to copy the generated design into my working file.Instead of copying the generated design, it creates a completely duplicated file, which is not what I want most of the time.Why this feels confusingBoth actions are essentially “copy-related” actions:“Copy Design” → copies the generated output into my file “Make a copy” → duplicates the whole fileBecause of this:the terminology feels overlapping the hierarchy feels inverted the more destructive / less frequent action is visually emphasized moreSuggestionsI think this could be improved in a few ways:Opt

It is quite frustrating that there is no search function in the expanded available frame list when adding the open overlay action to a trigger. When numerous frames are created, locating the target frame for linkage becomes difficult. Dragging to set interactive links is convenient, yet cumbersome when working on an oversized canvas. Additionally, a single trigger supports multiple actions, and dragging fails to create interactive links when adding a second action.  I really wish there was a search function for available overlays.

The function to lock to a current zoom percentage (usually 100%) to keep the sense of scale consistent. I don’t think I’m the only one that has a difficulty with the sense of scale when designing and I believe that the ability to prevent zooming may help this or build a better sense of scale throughout a design.

As written in the documentation (Prototype interactions and animations) the destination of a Scroll to action can only be an element of the same top-level frame. But with this limitation it is impossible to prototype a common navigation pattern. On one-pagers there are often floating menu for intrapage links. E.g you have an hamburger icon that opens a menu overlay from where you can scroll to a specific page section. This can’t be realized with an Figma overlay because of the restrictions mentioned above. There is a workaround, but it seems that it only works because of a bug: You can set the menu overlay as an child of the top-level frame of the one-pager, define the Scroll-to actions and then move the menu outside the frame (as an separate top-level layer) to show it later as an overlay. By doing this all the Scroll-to actions still work, but when you change an action the target will be rested and the navigation is broken. Working Example Maybe you can remove the restrictions that t

I’m sharing the Figma Buzz link but it always go back to Asset View.It would be nice to toggle and decide which default view the viewer see from the link. 

It would be great if you could add support for audio files in Figma Slides — with options like play on click, autoplay, and loop.At the moment, we need to convert audio files into video files just to make them work.

It would be great to have a simple toggle to show or hide the layout grid directly in the Properties panel — only for the current frame I’m in or for the ones I have selected.Sometimes I just need to view the design without the grid, and right now I have to go into Styles and manually toggle the visibility there.A quick “eye” icon or similar control for layout visibility per selection would make this much faster and more intuitive.

Having the ability to create subfolders within Projects would be a huge plus. For small to large teams. Please consider this, thank you. 

We love our FigPals, please dont take them away😭
