Comments: Local saving

Make it possible to download comments in the same way as local versions of files are downloaded, with the ability to also import comments along with a local file, now I transfer all comments from one file to another manually, also between pages in files, this is very inconvenient, and does not simplify the task

The option to display all "Missing Variant" errors

Hey Figma Team I would like to see a feature where we can surface the “Missing Variant” errors in the design file. I usually publish new changes from the Library but when I go to a Design File and accept the new updates some don’t update the component which is fine but it’s quite tedious to select the individual components to find these errors. I would recommend to have like a dropdown for the Library icon to have the option to “Show Missing Variants” and it will just give me a small window with a list of components that failed to update.

"Follow" members of your team from home page

The idea would be to have a sidebar in the home page similar to the one you see in files where you could see the members of your team and when you click on one of their profile picture, it opens the file they are working on, similar to the “follow X” on files but it would open the file they have open and are working on. It could be used for easy and quick access to files when you have lots of them or for teamwork.

Add REM as a unit of measurement

Please include REM as a mode of measurement as it is becoming more and more used by developers. Having to manually convert the measurement is so tedious.

Keyboard shortcuts for FigJam can be improved

Please look at Mural to follow their shortcuts. One that is especially important is being able to press TAB while in a sticky to have one created right next to it. I also do not ever want an arrow by default to be added to connect the next sticky created.

Interim web app support before making an iPad version

Hi there, I understand you all may be possibly working on a fully fledged iPad app. I wanted to suggest a much lighter lift interim that would make it easier for us as designers in the meantime. Please consider adding the necessary hooks to support the Figma site being added as a bookmark to the Home Screen on iOS (effectively making it a web app). This involves adding a few files that specify what is saved to local storage and how the browser treats the experience. This would allow the bookmarked app to run without a URL bar for a more full screen experience.

Additional "Click Outside" behaviors for overlays

Hello, I am working on a feature for one of our existing applications. Standard behavior for modals/overlays is to close when a user taps outside. However, for this interaction, I would like to show a warning modal if they tap outside the main modal, rather than simply closing. I’m not seeing a way to easily accomplish this. Could we create the ability to customize “click outside”?

Improve Figma exports by providing a quick-access popup to the file’s location or automatically opening the export folder

Something thats always been tedious is the Figma export function. It would be helpful for there to be a button that takes you to the folder you’ve exported your assets. This is most often a problem when exporting assets into multiple tiers of folders, and having to navigate between the folder and the Figma file.

Please keep community Icon tab consistent in one place

Each time when I need something in community, but have just opened Figma I need to open this tab again and click around 5 times until I find it. Why is it dissapearing after reopening figme? A mystery to me.

Move layer without clicking on it

I’ve recently moved from Sketch to Figma. Our System Design of Al Jazeera Media Network’s news website is huge. I was able to successfully migrate it completely in a very short time. It was a great migration project. I too much miss the feature of moving a selected layer by clicking option+command and dragging anywhere in the canvas. I can’t tell how important is this feature. I am about to cry 🙂 … Hopefully someone from Tech team in Figma takes it in consideration

Drag-n-Drop Component Frame Within Component Instances

Hi Figma, please add a feature where users can create a special type of frame within a component, so they can create instances of the component and then magically insert other instances or content into the special frame placement. Swapping instances works if we need to change one instance to another instance, but it is very limiting and essentially cripples Figma’s drag-n-drop design mentality. This feature would open up a world of opportunity for design systems to be much more scalable and effective.

Figma Slide - Setting: Turn of mouse click as page change action

Issue: When embedding prototypes in Figma slides (or just design frames with scroll group / overflow content) it’s easy to miss the desired target and instead click the slide, which then changes the next slide. Annoying when showcasing a new prototype/design to an audience. Solution: Make it possible for the presenter to decide which input is needed to change slide, eg. only arrow keys, so mouse clicks only changes frames/prototypes elements and not slide deck.

Feedback: Figma Slides and Prototyping

While it seems to have improved since the initial launch, using prototypes in Figma Slides is still a poor experience. Below are the three areas that bother me the most: Quality loss. The quality of protoypes when viewed through Slides is noticeably less sharp. It’s better to just have the actual prototype open in a separate tab. Prototypes have to load every time you change slides. This is very annoying when designing a deck because you constantly have to load it to make sure it’s the correct prototype, but the real issue is having to wait for the prototype to load while presenting the deck. Every time you change slides, the prototype has to load up again so if you’re sharing concepts and need to go back and forth between slides, it’s a huge pain. Again, it’s better to just have the actual prototypes pre-loaded in the background. Moving prototypes around a slide is really annoying because it triggers the interactions on the prototype itself. I have no idea why this is the defau

Shortcut usage regarding the side panel.

So the side panel hides when you press "Shift + " which is perfect if you like a full screen experience. I find two problems with that. Some times I want to check the pages inside the panel. What I currently do is pressing the shortcut again and navigate the panel, which is ok, but it would be nice to hover over the left hand side region, or the title of the side panel that remains and temporarily display the left side panel. An other workaround is by pressing the “fn+up/dwn arrows” which works like a charm. The problem with this though is that I do not know in which page I am each time. It would be nice with this shortcut to either activate the above described temporary functionality or to write the name of the page somewhere.

Iterate slide deletion command away from only backspace

Having only backspace to delete a slide causes me to delete a lot of slides on accident and then panic to undo and get them back. I suggest adding a combination command to delete, like Shift + Backspace.

Add checkbox to choose to apply change to component style or text

I have an idea for working with components. What if we add a checkbox that lets us choose whether to apply changes to the text or just to the component’s style, without affecting the text? Currently, we’re facing issues with complex components and variants. When we update the text in one component, it sometimes causes unintended changes to the text in other components across different screens.

A way to move/add a Dev Mode annotation to parent element

It can be very tricky (impossible) to add a dev mode annotation to a parent element, that has no padding, because the cmd+T tool will always select the child the you click on. Like here, I end up adding the annotation on the third child, but actually I want it to go on the parent with all three elements. Maybe some keyboard shortcut like Shift+Enter in Design mode, that simply moves the selection and annotation up one level.

Please revert the File Cover sizes

Previously it was set to be 1920x960, and now is supposedly 1920x1080. This wouldn’t be a problem if the remaining width of the cover was ignored in the actual thumbnail in the file explorer just as before, but now all my covers have black bars up and down. Why this sudden change? The files in the community still have the previous behavior where the search results showed a thumbnail a little bit thinner than the actual cover size when you open the file.

Renaming Colors in Figma Slides

Currently not a way to rename colors in Figma slides with the library feature. Is there a way to do this that I don’t know about? It would be tedious to re-add a color with the appropriate name because I would have to reassign all components to the newly named color.

Feature Request: Customizable Default Zoom Level for Prototypes

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement: allowing users to set a default zoom level for prototypes, such as “Fit Width.” Currently, prototypes open at “Actual Size,” which often requires immediate adjustment for optimal viewing. Enabling a customizable default zoom setting would improve the presentation and accessibility of prototypes, ensuring viewers have the best possible experience from the start. This adjustment would be a valuable addition to Figma’s powerful suite of tools. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Paragraph Outdent

Similarly to what Figma allows to do with Paragraph indent, I’d love to see the paragraph outdent feature. This is well-known typographic technique from print design and it’s time to bring it to Figma.

Retaining Original Image Names When Replacing Photos

When replacing a photo using ‘Fill’ and selecting ‘Upload from computer,’ I would love it if the image name could remain the same, instead of being replaced with the current image’s name. I often need to source photos from Figma, and having the original image name helps me keep things organized. This would make things much easier 🙂

Quicker Access / Starring for Shared Files

Previously I’ve used the “starred items” function to have a quick way to open key files on projects I’m currently working on (without mixing up copies or branches of the main file, which happens on the “recently viewed” tab). It appears Figma is removing the starred items section from the sidebar. Is there a better way to ‘pin’ specific files that are SHARED with me (not owned by me, and saved within a team I’m not part of), so I can find/access them more easily than going via Recents > Shared Files. Thanks!
