Suggest a Feature

I was really excited when i learnt about the inclusion of grid in figma, but was disappointed to find that it is quite under featured. One of the main things holding it back is the ability to set min and max widths/heights on rows and columns, and possibly freeze a row/column too. The current solution of having separate components causes to many alignment issues to be useful. For this you would probably need some way of selecting individual rows and columns too.I don’t know what you have down as priorities for upcoming developments, but these would definitely help Grid be useful 

I would like to add a max-width to a text box while using auto layout to keep the word count per line at a reasonable minimum. Currently, I have the text element set to “Fill Container” which makes the text respond very nicely to the screen size. But because it is set to “Fill Container”, the text spans the entire width of the element which makes the text lines more difficult for users to read quickly. If a max-width was set, the component should respond until it reaches the max-width, which would help keep the line length down. I also feel like there are many other circumstances where max and min-width would be extremely helpful Anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone have a great fix/hack to get around it? Looking forward to seeing what you have to say. Cheers,

Hot take,Figma Make, in it’s current beta form, is underwhelming when it comes to being able take a design and turn it into a usable coded prototype quickly.This feature will have a huge impact on designer-developer workflows only when the speed to getting to a Make prototype is faster than getting to a noodle prototype. Until that happens, designers will continue to stick with what is fastest/most effective for them.Being able to provide Make with the entire context of a prototype + developer notes + design library inside a given file/page seems to be the best route to doing this.I hope the refactor needed to get to being able to provide access to all of this data is well underway, but if not, I’m putting my trust in the rest of the community to get some movement behind this idea here in the portal.

Our team is part of a larger organization, and all our Figma files are in one Figma Team for which I am a team admin. We have some Default Libraries set for the entire team, but need the additional ability to set Default Libraries for specific project folders. I’m not seeing the settings to do this right now.

Just saw the new sketching and fill tools appear. You’re on track to own vector production. Now go after raster/print (seriously)! Amazingly, Quark Xpress is still alive and seems to have developed some serious content-management tools. Buy them! Bring print production into a collaborative Figma space. 

A la Adobe Illustrator, please. I want to glide in and out of zooms, not jump.

Sorry for the long message, but it's really important, so I wanted to share the full story.I believe the option to trigger auto width and auto height text resizing via the command palette was unintentionally overlooked. This feature fits naturally with other text-related actions already available in the palette and should be included for consistency and usability.Adding it would not impact the UI or workflow for anyone who doesn’t use it, but for those who do, it can be a significant efficiency gain. It’s a small fix with meaningful benefits, and optional shortcut support would be a welcome addition.Currently, for every text element, we have to manually change the default resizing settings. On UI screens with many text boxes, this becomes a repetitive and inefficient process that adds unnecessary clicks and slows down the workflow.Adding a command to the command palette for auto width and auto height would solve this without affecting the interface or existing behavior. It’s a non-inva

You can do that right now like this:https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/how-to-delete-a-variant-property-26406?postid=51847#post51847But there are a couple of problems:1. You will lose the component description2. It doesn't feel right in general having to do it this way (moving the variant out of the component) when you should be able to do it the same way you can ungroup elements. I already created a post to suggest this feature, but then I realized I created it as a question and I recreated it to make it a conversation instead.I’m going to ask admins to delete that post for me so we can keep this one instead.

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? I cannot modify the thickness of lines, both in arrows and in figures 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? select object or line and when the options appear, there is no tool to change the thickness 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? i think only on browser 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? mac os mojave version 10.14.6, google crome

When trying to add an interaction to a frame (such as On Click > Back), I would expect clicking the (+) icon on a frame to allow me to edit interaction properties. Instead, you have to go to the right pane to do this.XD had something like this and thought it was convenient. Seems like an easy win to me.  

When I was working on large-scale projects, I found that some design drafts often couldn't be done with Figma and were made using Photoshop. However, I needed to display them in my Figma design drafts for members of the project team or developers to view. But at this point, I have two solutions: one is to convert PSD files to PNG photo format, and the other is to convert all design drafts to third-party annotation software. So my idea is whether Figma can develop a PSD parsing function. If this function takes too much time, can it provide a thumbnail image for viewing PSD annotations or a plugin like function? What do you think? I often experience lag in Figma UI 3.0, which is not as smooth as before

Allow branching of branches to allow for feature branches from the development branch and development branches from the master branch. This would be closer to what we currently have in Git and would allow for more control. The development branch could represent all reviewed and approved feature design work that had been done but not necessarily released live in code. The master branch would represent what is live in production.

Just discovered the “Templates and tools” tab and was excited to see if my team could migrate our design file templates to actual Templates. However to my disappointment, Figma seems to only offer this feature for Figjam and Figma Slides.My team uses design file templates to keep our work organized in a consistent way within each file. Right now our process requires having a “Template file” and manually duplicating it whenever we want to set up a new file for a new project. It would be nice if these could be built in Templates that we could access upon creating a new file instead of needing to navigate to the template file and duplicate it. 

The ‘Team Fonts’ feature provides a centralized font library, allowing team members to share and manage commonly used fonts. Through this feature, teams can ensure consistency across all design documents, while also making it easier for team members to find and use the fonts they need. For instance, fonts unique to Mac users can be uploaded to the ‘Team Fonts’ for sharing with Windows members. We believe this feature can further enhance Figma’s user experience, especially for teams with a substantial need for font resources. We look forward to Figma considering our proposal and are willing to provide further feedback and suggestions to help refine this feature.

Hello Figma Team,As we continue to build more detailed and complex components using the properties panel, we’re finding it increasingly difficult to maintain visual clarity and organization—especially when there are multiple variants or nested properties.While the original designer might understand the structure, it becomes quite inefficient and confusing when collaborating with other team members or handing off to developers.It would be incredibly helpful if we had the ability to add custom dividers or section separators within the properties panel. Even a simple visual line or labeled grouping would significantly improve usability and communication within teams.Is there any plan to support this kind of feature in the near future? 

Is there a way to save local copies as .figs from file browser without having to go into each one individually? Thanks!

Add oportunity to use CURSOR or others AI Code Agents into the Figma Make to give ability to code in different languadges directly in figma. Or made something like MCP integration inside Figma Plugin in VS Code

Hello, I find myself using “Nudge Amount” very often, and it’s not quite efficient as I have to switch it very often. I was thinking it would be perfect to have the nudge amount settings per page. Many thanks!

Right now in Buzz if you give someone a template and want to let them swap out an image, they can only Upload an image from their computer to “replace” the image, OR drag in an image from a library from scratch, but it won’t replace the existing image.Uploading an image from your computer is a good way to replace, but we want to give content editors a library of images to choose from that we curate.Ideally in this view there would be a Library icon, and then we could choose a photo from a Library to replace the image. This feels like a big miss compared to Express, which handles this much better.  

Problem:I love annotations, but having to select a category and property each time with my mouse is painful. It’s the main reason I have stopped using them - by creating my own annotation, I can just option + drag to create a copy of an annotation that has the category or property I’m looking for, and skip a step. But this is also not ideal. Solution:Let me add annotations without having to take my hands off my keyboard after I click on what I want to annotate!Suggestions:Default categories and annotations based off of what I just did Smart suggestions for annotations or categories Shortcuts for assigning categories or annotations Slightly more complex shortcuts for initiating annotations (such as: 1. Shift+t to go select the annotate cursor 2. Press and hold shift to duplicate last annotation category, then click 3. Press and hold option to duplicate last annotation property, then click 4. Press and hold shift and option to duplicate both ) After Shift + t, Click + hold to see categor

You can duplicate a file, and create a branch of the current file but when your in a branch you can only duplicate to a new file not a new branch. I always have this need I create a branch and don’t want extra files I just want to create extra branches off of the branch not the original file which has been significantly modified at this point.

How can I hide the Layers panel in Figma’s new UI?I mostly work in the Design panel, so hiding the Layers panel would give more canvas space.It was easy in the previous UI.

Hi, you know how it is. Sometimes you have to repeat the same actions over and over again on a whole lot of objects. I would love to have an AI powered assistant that understands what I’m trying to achieve. After doing the same thing twice, I should be able to tell Figma, “Hey, do the same for these 250 selected items!”

Figma’s SVG export of center-aligned text results in a <tspan> with default left alignment, such that center alignment is not preserved when the tspan content changes.  Ideally, the tspan would have text-anchor="middle" and an x attribute value based on the middle of the original Figma text element’s horizontal location such that tspan content changes would be continue to be centered aligned. 

Currently you can sort by collection in the variables explorer which is obviously important however when it comes to assigning variables to elements around your document, you have to find the variable through a drop down that includes every collection. This quickly becomes a mess if you are utilizing multiple collections and sub-groups. An option to only view by collection would be very useful, similar how you can sort by library for component/style libraries. There could probably be a lot more done when it comes to organising and managing variables however I think this would be a step in the direction.
