Copy/Paste Prototype Interactions with Conditionals

Copy/pasting prototypes is possible with simple click interactions, as explained here: Create interactions – Figma Learn - Help Center however this does NOT work for conditional interactions with multiple if/then/else statements, which is arguably much more important, as it takes way longer to reproduce/copy over to another component.

Change the position of the toolbar via drag and drop

Toolbar should be able to change its position at the very least. Hotkey users don’t ever need it. Eyes naturally look more to the bottom of the page, and now this useful space is taken by some garbage icons 🙃 The overall redesign is also questionable. I would also support all the complaints about font size, unnecessary gaps between control panels and the edge of a page. May be it looks more “comfortable” for new users, but keep in mind that you have a lot of professionals who use Figma for a long time already, and they want a reliable tool that doesn’t mutate under their hands so they can keep working fast.

Make a clear tab distinction between a library and a work file

Hi everyone, Like many of you, I often have a dozen tabs open—some are libraries, others are work files. With the latest update, it’s become incredibly difficult to distinguish between the two. It would be great if we could identify libraries at a glance. Right now, everything is grey, and I have to search for a specific icon to tell them apart. Thank you.

Option to Hide Frame Labels

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

Require more precision to drag comments

I use Space Bar + Left Mouse Drag to navigate in the document fairly often. I end up accidentally dragging comments really easily from their original place. You can’t undo comment movement, and it is sometimes challenging to find where the comment originally was. Can we get some more precision required to move a comment, or a way to undo moving a comment?

Variables: Use of Math with Aliases

I’m super excited to be using native variables in Figma; however, there are couple of glaring holes. Identifying an EM scale for text (maybe this will come with Font Variables support) Need to be able to reference an existing Variable (an Alias) and be able to do math on it; for instance, if Spacer = 20px, i would like to be able to reference {spacer}/2 to get 10px without changing the parent value

Figma please fix percentage sizing on items

The new Figma seems to not process percentages on sizing, compared to the older version. Video shows me adding auto layout to two items, overlaying one item and setting the width as a 50% width, which it cannot process. Switching back to the old Figma I can simply change the percentage there and it works fine.

The separator line between the pages section and the layers section!

Here’s the translation of your text into English: "The page and layer separators need improvement. Even though I create a lot of pages, every time the client wants to review the designs, they don’t realize that more pages have been created below. For example, maybe a slight fade effect could be added to the bottom of the pages to indicate that there are more pages below. Additionally, the separator between pages and the separator between pages and layers look very similar, making them hard to distinguish from one another."

String Variable from Color Variable HEX code

Is there a way to keep a string variable aligned with a color variable HEX code, either through aliasing or by another method? For example: Color Variable |Key | Value| |myColorVar | #FFFFFF| String Variable |Key | Value| |myStringVar | myColorVar variable| myStringVar = “#FFFFFF” Use case: It would be nice for documentation to be able to automatically keep written HEX colour codes aligned with changes to the colour variables they are documenting. Thanks for the help!!

Content Editor Role

The Problem: Collaborating with stakeholders often requires many content updates & iterations (text, image, etc). I think most content writers/stakeholders could easily make these updates but would require editor access, giving them unneeded (& often unwanted) edit permissions. Suggested Solution: Provide a Content Editor role in Figma that allows a user to: Update text layers Update image fills Anything else? Additional features could include: Editor can lock/unlock editability of content per layer Ability to suggest/accept changes (similar to google docs?) Assign content to users for editing? Any other ideas on how this role could work?

Figma Slides: Left panel nav when sharing a link

When I share a Slide link, I’d like it to open with the left side nav shown by default. Then if someone wants they can go into full-screen mode. Opening links in full-screen presentation mode by default makes it hard to hop around a deck quickly.

After delay transitions don't work in component variants

I have a scenario. I have a form in which I want to submit a comment. The comment object is on the screen and is a component with 3 variants: 1 > hidden (note-hidden) This is the component on the screen where it is at 0% visibility and 1px tall. 2 > transition state where it looks yellow (note-transition) Note is full size but is a yellow tone. 3 > the final state (note-default) The note is in it’s normal state. When I tap the submit on the form button I use a variable to change the variant from note-hidden to note-transition. The variant “note-transition” has an after-delay action to change it from yellow to the normal color. This is the old school 37Signals yellow fade pattern. The issue is that when I use a variable to change the variant, the “after delay” doesn’t work and it just stays as the “note-transition” state. My take is that this transition should trigger and it’s a bug.

Component property panel hard to see/read in new UI

The increased size of text, toggles, and lack of color (white text now gray) makes the component property panel rather hard to read and use. Suggest at the minimum - make the property group titles “white” for better legibility/contrast.

We need a different icon for "reset others"

Under reset component dropdown there’s “reset others” option that has an identical icon to “More actions”. That wouldn’t much of a big deal if “reset others” only showed up under that dropdown. But in certain cases when a layer inside the component doesn’t have much actions to it then it can show up as the third item on display, exactly in the same spot as “more actions” with identical icons too. It did send me in loops not understanding what was going on every time I tried to open the “more actions” dropdown.

Lay-out grid border instead of fill color

Can we please get an option to use a border/outline grid instead of the filled in grid? When designing its pretty annoying to have a full column on top of your design. A border would be a great addition.

Font Weight in Numbers on the Design Panel

Currently Figma only shows font weights as Thin, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black, etc. on the Design Panel, and you can only see the actual value of the weight in the inspect panel, but it would speed up design spec work and documentation work a lot if in the Design panel, next to each weight it also showed the value for that weight, as in Thin (100), Regular (400), Medium (500), Bold (600), and so on, as it is what tokens should use and developers would implement most often.

New Starred Section on Dashboard needs 'sort by'

We have an updated Starred section on the Dashboard. My alphabetically ordered list of about 100 items which I had to do manually has now been shuffled and it’s a real inconvenience. Figma is the industry-leading platform for user experience design, yet so many decisions it makes with the software inhibit the experience of those using it. Starred section needs sorting modes. Custom A-Z Chronological These are the minimum requirement. Look at how Spotify does it for reference.

Design Systems Features: We want em' and we want em' now!

The team and I have been compiling a list of features we’d love to see get implemented at some point. These are primarily related to design systems and have come about as we’ve been working on improvements to our own system. Would love to know if others have found a need for other design systems related features. Improved token/variable manager: The current token manager is pretty basic and a couple simple additions would really improve our workflows. The ability to search for tokens in a given collection More verbose token arrangement tools, we’ve accidentally moved the wrong set of tokens many times Token mode/column arrangement, the order of the options that are displayed when changing themes is determined by this but if you set it up wrong at first or add any new mode then you can’t rearrange them. Ability to natively export tokens/variables without needing a third-party plugin. Options for raw data, JSON, CSS, etc. Theming and modes: Modes are relatively one-time use right now.

Searchable HEX colour

My team has a lot of Colour styles, and sometimes it’s hard to find a particular swatch. Also, Figma sometimes ‘unlink’ the style and the colour. Having the ability to use the search field inside Colour styles to filter HEX codes would be amazing and a time saver.

UI3: Don't hide "Add New Property" icon in right panel

I use properties and variants a lot in my components. I know I can add them via naming conventions, but when dealing with a lot of existing variants, it can be tedious and confusing. I understand that Figma is trying simplify the UI by hiding the “Add New Property” plus icon. But it’s a key function for me and because it’s only revealed on hover, it took me a super long time to figure it out. (Sidenote, this UI change is not covered in the existing Figma docs). My proposal is that you reveal the plus sign again in the right panel, or minimally, at least in the component’s 3 dot menu. UI3 default state: UI3 hover state: UI3 component menu options

Compare versions in Version History

Hi, I’m looking for a way to see what has changed, in the versioning, when viewing Figma files sent to me. As far as I can tell you can only view old versions and not see what changed between an old version and a current one. It’s particularly difficult to detect changes on files with many pages/boards/wireframes. It would be great if you could click a version and compare it to the current version with a highlight and greyscale/colour content to easily see what’s new/what’s not. Thanks
