In short when you are building a library there are times a specific piece gets updated or we need to pull it from the library to reconfigure. To do that right now, we have to unpublish the WHOLE library and then go back in and re-publish each piece. As our library expanded that “republishing” of pieces becomes more and more tedious. If we just had the ability to “unpublish” a section (like how you can publish) that would make building and scaling a lot easier.

I’d like the possibility to automatically post an update message on Slack every time an update to a library file is published. Ideally the message includes: Name of the library Changelog (user submitted text in the publishing dialog) List of the impacted components This would make it easier for other designers and developers to notice and discuss such updates.

When working in figma in a tight laptop screen, it would be very helpful to have the figma UI be adjustable to be smi transparent like a frosted glass effect adjustable to the degree of how forsted/transparent it is. this will provide designers with more peripheral vision of the screen.

It would be nice if you could conveniently copy and paste from Figma to illustrator. I often create my own icons and custom shapes and it’s really annoying that I have to export these elements to files and import them in another program to fix or modify them.

TL;DR Link to frame breaks when it is moved to another file/frame In a big company with many designers, IT analysts and developers, we found out that best practice for developer handoff is to link Figma frame to Jira ticket, so developers don’t need to search through dozens of files, pages and frames to find what needs to be implemented. No problem till now. But as designers, we have many versions of different screens in a different state and after a while, it becomes quite a messy place. So we want to clean up the space, group workflows and move it to other pages or to other files (i.e. designed workflow is small at first so it is laid within bigger group, but it grows in time so we need to move it to another page/split it into multiple files). But when we do that, we break all links in Jira, so either developers can’t find the right screen when needed, or we need to invest excessive time to change all links in Jira, which can vary from tens to hundreds of screens. Does anyone else ex

Z-index, the order in which layers are stacked, is missing in Figma. I would so like to have tooltips, dropdown menus, etc. get on top of all content, no matter where it is put in the layer list...

For an product I’m working on, the design team has a system used by all designers. We hand-off designs both in english and arabic. So all components and pages need to support switching the initial english (left to right alignment) design to arabic design (right to left).Currently, I handle this in the following way:English font is [x] and arabic font is [y] → add the font names as typography variables to switch between Text direction, english [ltr] and arabic [rtl] → manually handle or use a plugin like RTL layout Components for english [ltr] and arabic [rtl] view → eg list, checkbox, header → add layout direction variants to change multiple elements direction to right for arabicThe problem with all of this is that it’s a lengthy process which is not scalable. The ideal solution would be that when a language is identified and set as a property/variable/setting, then on each element/frame figma smartly set the right rtl expectation → text direction right aligned, set font and it’s sizin

As the title suggests, it would be terribly useful to be able to reset just the padding override for a specific component instead of having to hit reset all just to be able to set the padding to “inherited from master component” and remove any overrides.

If I apply a color style to an object as a fill (or stroke), I can’t apply any additional fills to that object. I also can’t change the opacity of that fill when it’s tied to a style. Example: I have a button that is a frame with a blue background which is tied to a color style. I want to create a hover effect for that button by adding an additional 10% black fill on top of my blue color. Currently to accomplish this, I have to detach the blue from it’s color style, then add an additional fill black on top of it and reduce the 2nd fill’s opacity to 10%. See example screenshots below. This not only breaks my blue color style, but if I have black as a style in my design system, I can’t use that color style either. Has anyone found a workaround for this that I’m missing?

I was playing around with the idea of using variable modes to easily switch between using Latin script and, say Arabic, but where I think I’m let down is having to manually change the text left-right-center alignment. Thanks!

It would be very helpful if we could accept library updates per page, so that we can exclude some pages from being updated (ready for dev) while accepting the updates for other pages (design WIP pages). In our Figma files we have separate pages ‘Ready for dev’ to which no changes should be made after handoff. But we want to continue designing on other pages in the same file (working on new iterations), so we want to be able to accept component updates from the library. But these updates are automatically applied to every page in the file, which means the ‘Ready for dev’ designs are also modified and sometimes even break. I do not want to have to make a separate file for every time I hand over a design, because I want to keep all designs for a specific feature together in 1 file. A solution would be to be able to accept library updates for specific pages rather than all pages. What do you think about this? Similar (closed) topics that I’ve found: Component updates limited to a page Exc

Would be great to have basic formatting properties for tables. Cell color is not enough to create certain data visualizations.Stroke properties: color, weight, line type (dashed, solid) Merge cells: just a must Drop shadow: for table as a whole. At least in design mode Headers: ability to select hoe many rows to display as header Footers: same as headers Alternating colors Basic filtering or tagging Support in design files

Hello Figma Product Team!  👋 I’m writing to propose a change to the Starter plan:please make “Unlimited files and projects” available to all users, not only those on Professional and above. Here’s why this matters: Projects act like folders. The ability to organize design files into Projects is a basic need—similar to creating folders on a computer. Yet in the Starter plan, users are limited to just one project (with up to 3 editable files) and everything else is held in “Drafts.” This makes management chaotic and files hard to find and classify. Unsurprisingly, many users are frustrated. For example, one Redditor observed: “Drafts are unlimited (for now) so long as they’re on a team… but it’s sleazy, it’s scummy, it’s dark UX, it’s crappy upselling” (reddit.com, jitter.video, reddit.com) Another shared: “You are limited to 4 projects, and 3 pages per project… This is a major rug pull imo. A terrible change for people who work on many projects without compensation” (reddit.com)

Is there a way to turn a navigation bar into a sticky header?

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. The images above are from exactly the same component. As you can see when we have the dark interface theme enabled, it’s impossible to even see the component in order to review it’s changes. As you can image, the same is truth in case you have light colored components at the light Figma interface theme. The simple solution / patch here is probably add, near to “side by side / Overlay”, an option to toggle the preview background color. If you really want to go MVP, you can simply change the entire Figma theme with this toggle, kinda like a shortcut of “Preferences > Theme” menu. 2. Hidden elements that need upda

 Message:Hi Adobe team,I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for Illustrator's selection behavior. Currently, Illustrator uses direction-based drag selection:Left to right drag selects only objects fully enclosed (Contain).Right to left drag selects any object touched (Touch).While this is useful once you know it, it can be unintuitive for new users or when switching between other design tools (like Figma or CAD software) which use consistent selection behavior.🆕 Feature Suggestion: Please consider adding a Selection Mode toggle in Preferences or the top toolbar:Touch (Partial Overlap): Select objects partially within the selection box.Contain (Full Overlap): Select only objects completely inside the selection box.

How to copy and paste text from Word documents has changed. I’m having trouble pasting into text boxes in particular. When I copy and paste text from Word it appears as an image in Figma. I have to paste as an image using CMD+V then repaste with CMD+SHIFT+V for the text to paste into a box. Has the way you copy and paste changed in Figma recently? It seems this little difference is adding quite a lot of time to my workflow at the moment.

When I select and drag a slide in the sidebar of Slides, I expect it to be duplicated, just like it would be in Keynote, Google Slides, or like any other object in Figma or other apps.Every single time I work on a presentation, I option drag to duplicate a slide, then accidentally overwrite content that I needed.

This seems like a very expected feature, but it doesn’t work in slides.

Hi all,  just proposing to move the contextual text editor out of the way in Figjam table. problem:click on one cell in the column to update  click on the next cell to keep enter another entry for the column  see the menu bar is kinda blocking the next row image:   request: move the toolbox out of the way of the next row move to the top  have a ping’ed panel  nudge it further from the current cursor  just some ideas to kickstart, no preference on any solutions above - if you have better solutions, feel free to explore.

First, this feature is fantastic—it unlocks much cleaner output in Dev Mode and makes grid-like layout in design mode much simpler. But I think there’s a chance to push it even closer to parity with real CSS Grid and better support for table-like UI.Here are two suggestions: Dynamic sizing for columns and rowsCurrently, all columns in Grid Auto Layout are either equally sized or fixed. It would be amazing to support dynamic sizing more like CSS Grid’s fr units. Specifically: Support relative sizing (like fr units) that automatically divides leftover space among columns. Allow setting min/max constraints on columns and rows (similar to minmax() in CSS grid). Support percentage-based column sizing as an alternative to fixed pixels or even fractions. Why?Many real-world responsive designs need columns that flex but don’t shrink below a certain width. Supporting this would let us prototype and hand off responsive grid layouts with far less developer guesswork. *This doesn’t just allow

Hi Figma team and community! 👋 I've noticed several posts from users looking for a way to export Figma prototypes as video (MP4 or GIF). Right now, the only available solutions seem to be third-party plugins or screen recording tools, which work—but aren't always ideal when we need quick, high-quality exports to share with clients or on social media. I’m wondering if Figma has any plans to include native support for exporting prototypes to video in the near future. This would be an incredibly helpful feature for presenting flows, especially for marketing or stakeholder presentations. Would love to hear if this is something that’s on the roadmap, or being considered! Thanks 🙏

Our team has made the move to variables for spacings. While these are great for consistency and dev handoff, they are slower to work with than raw pixel values. For example, I could previously click into a padding field, and Shift+Up to big-nudge my way to the right size (I have my nudge set to 8, so I stick with our DS standards). Now, with variables, I have to hover over the field, and then select the new value from the menu. The speed of nudging is lost, as is the drag from field icon shortcut. When a field already has a variable, it would be great for nudge (shift+arrows) to cycle through the variable menu options, and the drag to work the same. When the field doesn’t have a variable already, it would be great to do those actions, but with a modifier key, to jump to the variable selection. Thanks for your time!

Hey Team,So far loving Figma Make. I have been making plenty personal tools and utilizing them. Even though the complete code gets rewritten when I am trying to add new features or make any updates, its still manageable because I am the only user.But now I am looking at the possibility of creating few apps for my friends or expand the existing ones to accomodate foreign users. If I had the ability to branch my whole code or app, publish the primary one and try out changes or new features in a branched version of the app, it would make everything so easy. That way I can try various new things without worrying if doing anything will break my current build and effect all the users.Kindly add git like branching for Figma Make Apps

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this I can open 1 plugin at time, the plugins are located only in plugin section. I don’t have any possibility to add plugin to UI (exp. sidebar). Also plugin windows can be opened only in Figma webview window. 2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) example of sidebar for plugins 3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation Does anyone else have same problems?
