Suggest a Feature

Is it possible to create my own custom shapes for use as shapes in FigJam? I am drawing complex process flows, and I need to use a few vector grphics (for example, an octagon) which I created with Adobe Illustrator as FigJam ‘shapes’ so that I can annotate them with text and connect them to other shapes with connector lines. I haven’t been able to find instructions on how to do this. Is this doable? If so, please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

Dear Figma Team,I am a big Figma fan and want to fully transition from Adobe, I’ve identified two key text-related SIMPLE features that would greatly improve Figma’s layout design capabilities: Text Wrapping Between Text Boxes Figma currently lacks the ability to wrap text between multiple text boxes, making multi-column layouts cumbersome. A native text threading feature (like Adobe indesign) would allow text to flow dynamically between boxes, especially when resizing frames. Hyphenation for Improved Text Alignment Long paragraphs in Figma often result in uneven spacing at the edges. A hyphenation feature (like Adobe Indesign) would automatically add dashes to break words at line ends, improving readability and visual consistency. These features would make Figma more versatile for typography-heavy designs and streamline workflows for users transitioning from other tools.

I’d love Figma to add the ability to view/sort last edited frame in a file. This is handy because when I return to a project or task after a long while and there’s a ton of ideation content in a file, I have to spend a while trying to figure out where we last left off. I can change my workflow to handle this (maybe adding a special title for the last version or putting a huge emoji near the frame) but it would be nice if Figma would just have a feature that would let me see last edits on a list, I could click on the edit to bring it into view. I could see how saving a timestamp with every edit may be too burdensome to data storage but what about giving us the last 5, 10, or 20 edits? Then drop off the timestamps to save on data storage and bandwidth? Just some ideas.If I’ve suggested a feature that already exists, please let me know.We love Figma, Thanks!

It would be awesome if we could set properties like font, size, alignment so everytime we start a textbox it would have all the properties already set. This exists and works with shapes for example, but the text ends up overridden by the last textbox you edited. Is there a way to workaround this or should it be a possible new feature? Thanks

Why do visual designs created by Figma Make not automatically use Auto Layout? It’s really hard to edit designs and maintain the correct padding. The grouping of layers instead means changes require me to re-create the design because I need auto layout.

Dear Development TeamI have seen many solutions for Menu, Sidebar, Radio Button Group and Tabs. All of them have one in common - only one can be active. So means if you have selected one and select after another item the one before has to be unselected and the selcted has to change to the active one. At the moment people go and do many variants or the better solution is for each State it needs to set one variable for the selected one to “true” and all the other once to “false”. That’s not like an expected solution.For Example the possibility to have local variables (not global) for a main component which are saving the value.So you can easy set the value of a variable and inside to compare the value. For example is the value ==3 than go to menu 3, set radio button 3 to true, set the tab 3 and show it, .. Also a Bit Logic is possible. Exampleconst RADIO_A = 1 << 0;const RADIO_B = 1 << 1;const RADIO_C

Four years since the initial feature request, 14K views since the first request… and still nothing.It’s completely unbelievable that such a basic and essential feature hasn’t been implemented yet in a tool that prides itself on being at the forefront of creation.⚠️ Fellow creators : if we want to have any chance of making this happen, please leave a reaction or a comment on this discussion. Together, maybe we can gain the visibility needed so that we can finally work with an organization worthy of this beautiful craft. Apes Together Strong 🐵🐵🐵Image credit: Court_Kizer

Currently it is only possible to check accessabilty (color contrast) with detached variables. Please make that possible because that would be very helpful and make Figma more efficient.

Hey Figma Community, I’m excited to kick off a discussion on a feature proposal that I believe will significantly enhance our workflow: an easy way to remove missing libraries and immediately conceal the styles copied from other libraries to be applied as core visual styles within the new library. The Problem As we continuously evolve our design projects, we often encounter situations where styles and components from old libraries are no longer relevant or used. However, these linked styles still persist, creating unnecessary strain and clutter within our current design files. It can be quite frustrating to see missing library notifications, giving the false impression that essential design elements are missing when, in reality, they are not even utilized in the new library. The Proposal Introducing a Complete Detachment Button for missing libraries, which will: • Remove Missing Libr

I’m looking for a plugin or functionality that lets me transfer vector artwork from an iPad into Figma on my Mac/PC.

Hi, My feature request is a toggle to temporarily disable realtime-sync for a component and it’s instances. This would allow me to make changes “locally” for that component before propagating the update to its all instances.The toggle/check box could live in actions toolbox, and could then show a small icon near each component name in the canvas. On click could turn stroke from purple to a blue indicating a “free edit” mode. User can make changes “locally” for enhanced performance (device only has to calculate for that component without updating all instances at same time), and then on click outside of the component, it will auto turn off and the batched change will propagate automatically to all instances.I suggest this as I’m finding Figma to be unusably slow yet never being above 50% memory. I’ve pinpointed it down to when I make a change to a component, every small change I make updates in real time causing my desktop to constantly calculate all minor i

SummaryAdd support for "global" or "parent" mode dimensions that apply across multiple variable collections. This would allow a theme like light/dark to act as a global setting that affects all other collections (like Surface, Density, or Brand) without needing to manually create every combination. The ProblemCurrently, Figma treats each collection's modes as independent and flat. When building a design system that needs both a theme (light/dark) and a surface context (default/prominent/muted), there's no way to express that light/dark should be a global setting that applies across all surface contexts. Current WorkaroundWe're forced to combine both dimensions into a single collection with combined mode names:Collection: SurfaceModes: - default/light - default/dark - prominent/light - prominent/dark - muted/light - muted/dar

There should be a fliter in layers for finding locked layers

Hello, I am reaching out to express the need for a feature that allows direct duplication of pages to another file within Figma. Currently, the process of duplicating content by copying and pasting between pages is not only time-consuming but also becomes cumbersome when attempting to duplicate multiple pages to another file simultaneously. I believe a feature that enables direct page duplication to another file would significantly enhance our workflow and efficiency. Such a feature would save considerable time and effort, especially in scenarios requiring the management of large projects with multiple pages that need duplication into different files for organizational or collaborative purposes. Is there any plan to develop a feature that facilitates duplicating pages directly to another file? This functionality would be highly appreciated and could notably improve productivity and usability within Figma. Thank you for considering this request. I look for

Hello folks! First of all, thanks for all the great work you constantly do on Figma. It’s really an amazing tool and keeps getting better and better. ❤️ With that said, I would like to point some issues with the “Review updates” tool, mostly related to how Figma theme interface sometimes make things unusable. 😅 1. Enable user to toggle background color.

Add a Reassign button to the Library Update Dialog to allow specific bulk re-mapping of styles, Components, and Variables. 

Need for an dialog to confirm a variable collection deletion.

Hello everyone,I just removed all interactions from the prototype by mistake when working on a project. 💀I right clicked on the Prototype page because I was having trouble connecting a section. Clicked on “Remove all interactions” thinking it would hide them temporary so I coud have a better view. I almost cried when I realized all the conections were lost. Why did the system didn’t even ask for a confirmation?!When I realized what happenned it was too late, I tried everything but no Ctrl + Z or Version Story could solve it. I tried to re-connect it all but I had a meeting in 1 hour. Of course I wasn’t able to fix the whole project… I believe it should totally have a confirmation modal or something similar to a warning, it’s a delicate decision for the user to delete everything and from what I’ve seen it keeps happening to many designers.Please share your thoughts with meAlexa

Hey, I’m working with a team that’s switching from Miro to FigJam, and they primarily use Miro as a Moodboarding tool.I’m wondering if there’s a good way to select multiple images and match their size – we’ve found the “scale better” plugin in the plugin store which can do this, but don’t like having to cmd+K and type its name each time we want to do this.If there isn’t, I think this would be a really good feature to add.

I am using Figma Make extensively as a Product Manager to co-create interaction frameworks and prototypes with AI through multiple iterations.This workflow exposes a critical gap that blocks real-world delivery.Context: AI collaboration naturally creates many intermediate states However, not every generation should be treated as a deliverable version At certain points, I need to explicitly confirm:“This version is good enough to be frozen and delivered as V1.01 / V1.02.” Current pain points: Figma Make provides generation history, but no concept of a user-confirmed fixed or tagged version There is no way to attach structured notes or delivery comments to a specific confirmed version The only workaround is screenshots, which: Break interaction context

Hello, It would be immensely useful if I could see a list of all components (with variant indication) and variables used per page / file, and be able to compare that to the entire list of components / variants / variables available in my design system. This way it would be easy to spot any unused component / variant / variable in the design system and purge it. Thanks

We need better image handling tools including: original scale percentage (+reset); the ability to copy images out of frames; non-proportional scaling under Crop. It needs to match InDesign’s at least.

Hi, I would love to have the option to draw with the Marker tool in the android tablet application. I know it is possible on iOS tablets, but it isn’t possible on Android.

Hi,I have a button component set with a text style of “body large”.With all differents sizes, styles and interactive states, I have currently around 100 variants for the button component.I want to add a new text style “display small” as an option for this button.If I want to add the text style as a component property, I currently need to add another 100 variant, right ? And another 100 variant if I want a 3rd text style option ?It would be great to have a possibility to do it better natively.

Hi all 👋 I’m working with a Description List component built using CSS-like grids in Figma (term + description per row).Each row is sized to its content, and the overall component height is also set to hug contents. However, when I hide a row (e.g. term + description), the container height does not automatically resize to the remaining visible content.Instead, I have to manually resize the container, and I end up seeing purple grid lines below the visible content. What I would expect (and what I’m used to with other components) is that the container immediately shrinks when content is removed or hidden. Questions: Is this a known limitation when using grids in Figma? Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or should this be considered a feature request so hidden grid rows no longe
