Suggest a Feature

My figma file is getting huge and I want to move artboards to another file but retain all the comment history. Can you please build this?

As design systems grow organically, it might be necessary to reorder Variable Modes in the Local variables panel, similarly to how it is possible to reorder variables.

My suggestion for Figma is to add a “slot” functionality to components. This would allow designers to create more flexible and customizable components, by adding empty slots or placeholders within a component. Users could then insert their own content or elements into these slots, without having to ungroup or modify the component itself. This functionality would save time and increase efficiency for designers, while also promoting a more consistent design system across a project or organization. I believe this feature would greatly enhance the flexibility and usability of Figma’s component system, and would be a valuable addition to the platform.

Grouping pages with in project. Tag pages to page within ‘Project’ to show relation or from other ‘Projects’just a suggestion for tool that I would find it useful.

Developers, if you read this thread, please take this into account in future releases. When viewing files in a project, Figma preloads ALL files in the project. The whole application starts to freeze and makes it difficult to use even the ‘create file’ button (over 1 min of waiting). Why not make this screen with the ability to preview 50 files, splitting all files into preview pages [1,2....50].  Colleagues, if you know how this can be fixed, I will be grateful.  Have a nice day! 

いつもありがとうございます。Figma Sitesを利用しいくつかの単一ページのプロダクトをリリースしました。しかしながら、リンク要素が<div>タグで再現されていることで下記のような弊害が発生しています。Analyticsなどで、aタグのクリックイベントが取得できない Googleのクローラーなどはaタグを操作しているという説もあり、SEO上リンク先を取得できていない可能性がある任意でタグを選択できたり、ClassやID名を記載できたりすると上記の問題も解消できると考えます、今後のアップデートで検討してもらえると嬉しいです。

I want to create folders within folders

Looking for some simple updates which would make using variables much more comfortable. We have a simple library, but with colors copied over multiple uses, states, etc. we have to scroll through this very small window in order to pick from ~50 colors. This is not even counting other sets of colors we use for graphs, charting, other things.Moreover, this is only true outside of the design system - In other files, I can control visibility by collection or based on type (fill vs stroke vs text, etc.). In the system file you just see it all - and especially since the hidden collections are visible, it’s a nightmare to scroll through this list.Basically you *must* be intimately familiar with naming conventions​​ for variables in order to find them at all - otherwise any dive into the variable list is 30 seconds of honing in on the right thing.Currently there’s a dropdown for filtering by library -Can we get a filter by collection? Default collection?Maybe expand/collapse groups? Maybe just

We have found a lot of efficiency improvements with the JIRA and Confluence widgets within Figma Design. With incorporating more teams into the Figma ecosystem, I’ve found a lot of opportunities for building libraries and design systems and pulling in assets to Slides to build launch decks to share outwardly. We track a good amount of things through JIRA.Would LOVE Jira + Confluence widget support in Figma Slides. Atlassian and Figma work awesome together, but need it across more platforms than Figma Design only

In the design handoff process, we use annotations to communicate changes or emphasize specific specs. However, when the design canvas is large and contains many elements, it's difficult to notice the position or even the existence of annotations.It would be very helpful if, upon clicking the "comment" button, a comment panel appeared on the right side, showing all comments in a list view that can be sorted and filtered. Ideally, clicking on an item in this list would take the user directly to the corresponding location on the canvas.I suggest considering an update that adds a "tab" or similar functionality to the comment panel for better visibility and navigation of annotations.

In Figma, I can create a color variable like Primary/500,but there's no way to create another variable that links to Primary/500 with just a different opacity (e.g., 50%).This becomes a problem when I change the base color — I have to manually update every opacity variation, which is time-consuming and breaks the idea of dynamic design systems.🔧 Feature Request:Allow opacity to be applied on top of existing variables when creating new ones.

Example: Creating a loading spinner with 4 states. When copying and pasting an interaction from 1 to 2, you do not want the 2nd state to change to itself, rather to the state 3. It is frustrating having to do this every single time, although it could be automated. 

How do I hide tabs when designing? My workflow is messed up cz of the tabs showing up. This was fine until a couple of hours ago

Hello Figma team, I’d like to suggest a small improvement regarding version naming. Currently, when I use the “Name this version” option on an autosaved version, the timestamp of the original autosave does not appear. This makes it a bit difficult to identify exactly when that version was created, especially when tracking changes or collaborating with teammates. It would be very helpful if the original autosave time could still be shown alongside the named version. This small detail could improve version tracking and team collaboration significantly. Thank you for your continued great work and support!

I’m missing the feature of switching between different word-break values. Figmas default is the browser’s normal. However sometimes, especially for more technical text like links, a break-word: break-all would be a better option. Given that this can be implemented in code, but not visualized in Figma is unfortunate.

Without having to press the prototype black screen every time, thank you!

Is there a way to reset the prototype with an interaction without forcing the user to press R to reset? I’d rather continue the flow and just reset some key components and variables rather than take them out of the flow and start the whole thing again. Resetting variables is OK, but there are a few components (an add to trolley one for example) I need to reset back to its original state but I don’t see a way to do this.

Some quick context: I recently created a basic Figma slides template. After using the template & theme to create an actual presentation, I identified some new slides that I would like to include into the original template. When copy pasting the slides that used the template into the original template file, it created a duplicate template with the same name for the slides that were pasted in, even though they used the original theme of the template. The main issue I have here is that when swapping the template to the original, it randomly shuffles the colors. So I have to adjust the entire slide. I feel like updating templates over time based on real usage is pretty common, and the current behavior makes it rather awkward. Thanks!

When a layer is off / hidden or hard to get to (very nested) - to have the ability through the layers panel to grab and edit it in a similar way to how illustrator do it - just the specific element is shown in an isolated display, all other elements are blurred in the background, even layers that are on top of the selected element. 

I need a way to change the order in which icons appear in the properties menu of the component instance. I use components for icons, and it would be nice if the icon names were sorted alphabetically, but instead they appear to be sorted by the order in which they were created. When there is a long list of icons, it makes it harder to find the icon you want. This is obviously not necessary for most components because they rarely have this number of variants, but for things like icons… it would be a huge help.

I work on multiple projects at the same time, and every time I use auto layout, the default gap is set to 8 and the padding to 0. I have to change these settings each time, which is quite frustrating and time-consuming. I really need a way to remember to do this. Instead, could we implement a feature in the file settings that allows me to preset these parameters? That way, my presets would automatically apply whenever I create something or use any shape, saving me the hassle of making adjustments each time and allowing me to work more efficiently.

With Miro, we are able to copy cells from a google sheet/excel, then paste them into Miro where each cell becomes an individual sticky note with respective colors applied. This is great for transcription and affinity diagramming during research. I’d LOVE to see this in FigJam 🙂

We have a connected project with an outside vendor who is helping us create new components in one of our shared libraries. We’d like them to be able to create a branch on our existing library to submit a changed/new component without giving them full edit permissions.Full edit permissions would allow them to make changes to the file without branching or to merge changes without our approval. And we only want changes to be added with our approval.Having this sort of “viewer can create a branch” setting would eliminate the need for us to collaborate in a separate file before moving the component into our library.Sharing in case it might also be a helpful feature for others.

See a simple exemple below :  

I've been using and testing Figma Make to create interactive prototypes based on the screens and flows I’ve already designed.It would be really interesting to speed up the design-to-code workflow if the prototype in Figma Make could be updated live. That way, I could iterate on changes and improvements in my design without having to go back to Make and write new prompts to explain those changes.This could further streamline the handoff process for animations and interactions by providing more structured code for developers.
