Add export animated prototypes in GIF format

Very often i find myself recording my screen to add a preview of my interactions in presentations. If an image is worth more than a thousand words, a video lasting 1 second is 24.000 words.

Negative numbers in paragraph spacing

When writing paragraphs with some fonts, the paragraph spacing at zero is still too widely open, I want to close them further, a negative paragraph spacing would do the job.

Component content clearing after library updates

We have components where we update the copy to be specific to a certain design. When we implement library updates that are style changes (i.e. change in color or font size), some but not all of the copy gets reset to the default. This is super annoying and also inefficient as we have to go back and edit files every time we update our library styles.

STOP hiding buttons, Figma!

In the latest update, it took me a while looking for the “go to main component” command which was in this menu. Magically i found out that it is hidden under the library name lol. I have heard in the last ConFig 2024, you guys told that you redesign things not to let user waste time look for hidden buttons that would show while hovering. You may have made the UI clean, but it is way toooooooo confusing. I am thinking you skip UX while design this UI3, or you were giving this to some intern to be in charge. I believe most of designers hate UI3 as I hate it. I suggest to bring back the component menu in toolbar.

Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?

I am trying to use the new annotation tool in Dev Mode. I have 2 questions: I have made annotations on a frame in a Figma project. When I move this frame to another project, the annotations do not move. Is there a way to move the annotations too? During annotating frames, is it possible to annotate multiple components/frames together?

UI3 Feedback - Pages section

On the left panel, when the pages section is collapsed there is no clue on which page you are. I liked how you had the name of the page in the old UI on the top right of the panel and looked like a dropdown to open it again. Can you add the name somewhere when is it collapsed?

UI3 Feedback - Scale Menu / pressing K - standard field selection

Hey There, Small find, but still creating friction. When you press the K key for scaling, the focus – like before – starts on the scale option (1x, 2x, etc.). But when you hit the Tab key, it jumps to the next menu instead of going to width and height as it used to. This means you have to manually select the fields with the mouse every time. The solution could be to have the focus start on the first field (which is now width) when pressing K, so you can easily tab through to the fields you need. New UI: Old UI:

Prototyping automatically creating drag interactions

When I’m prototyping, I often make copies, delete pages, etc. This means that I end up with prototype points that are automatically create click = none. This then means that when I drag to make new points, I accidentally make many drag interactions because it assumes that if click = none, then the next interaction i want is drag. Often I find out I’ve made mistakes by hitting play, seeing the interaction target turn blue, but tapping not working and me realizing i made drag points. Then I go back, investigate where it assumed I wanted drag, and replace it with click by removing drag and click in the right panel. Retapping the circle plus and dragging it to a new frame. (I don’t use the dropdown and find the frame). Two potential fixes: if click = none by goal is to replace it because click isn’t being used. if an end point frame is removed, remove click interaction entirely. Anyone else make drag interactions by accident? Would these potential fixes hurt other people’s workflows?

Add blur to menu

The use of Gaussian blur effect for pop-up controls is a common design standard for almost all operating systems. Adding Gaussian blur to the context menu will make the overall UI more harmonious and consistent with the operating system.

Let me ctrl / cmd + click on a variable in the variable panel to get to its definition

Currently it is a bit annoying when you have multiple variables reference each other. When editing code you usually can ctrl / cmd click to get to the definition of a variable or function. It would be nice if this was also possible in the variable panel in Figma

Convert comment/thread to task

After discussion with stakeholders in the file, there are many comment threads. Some of them are soloved, some of them are not important, some of them will be bring to next sync/meeting. While with many points to be discussed, is that possible to convert the thread status to another status like “to be discussed in the meeting” to make some of them more prominent?

File Duplication with Canonical Component Linking

Canonical Component Library for Splitting All-In-One Files Problem: When starting with a single, comprehensive Figma file that contains both design elements and components (such as Design WIP Page, Component Library Page, and Design System Page, etc etc), duplicating this file and organising it into multiple files results in each file referencing its own local component library. This creates a significant challenge in maintaining a single source of truth for components across different files, as every new file duplicates the components locally rather than referencing a central library. Proposed Solution: Introduce a feature in Figma that allows users to easily duplicate an “all-in-one” type master files, and then split it into multiple files (Design WIP file, Component Library file, Design System file, etc.), with the ability to set one of these files as the canonical component library. The duplicated files would automatically update to reference the components from the selected master

Allow percentages for padding in autolayouts

In the new autolayout, you can use absolute numbers for padding. However, it would be really beneficial to be able to use percentages sometimes instead. I can see there have been previous posts about this but they are closed, therefore I cannot vote for them.

UI3: Colour panel should show up embedded inside right panel by default

I think it should show up inside the panel as all other props show up embedded. Idk why colour has a different treatment. Not gonna lie having it popped out is super useful but I think it should be an option not a default action. I also mocked up a screen how it should be ps; i have noticed the blue bar showing the loc of highlighted item when I was mocking this image - loved the idea and implementation, mwah 👨‍🍳👌

Directional Clipping Option

It would be amazing if there was an advanced clipping option that would allow designers to choose what edges clipped content and what edges let content run over it. I am working on complex enterprise software where I have dropdown menus with menu items with hover states as well as icon buttons in the menu items with their own hover states. And on top of that I need to show tooltips on some of the icon buttons and allow clicking to open a new modal. (There is a lot going on) We have workarounds for the overlay tooltip but the issue we’re running into is everything is in a scrollable container and that requires clipping to look decent. It would be nice to decide what edges get clipped. In our scenario we need clipping at the top and bottom of the scrollable container but the left and right don’t need it so that absolute positioned items can spill outside of the scrollable container.

Shortcut to open version history panel

Hi Figma Team, I use version history quite often. It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to bring it up in the right-hand panel. I really like what you’ve done giving a shortcut for saving a current version, but it doesn’t give me the option to go into the “view history” mode. And I need that to copy the link from the version I just saved to the appropriate ticket in Jira. Thank you, Ksenia

Display collections name and mode along with variable name when inspecting/viewing designs

When inspecting/viewing a design, I’d like my devs to be able to see what collection a variable comes from, and the mode it is in. Currently, when a frame has a mode applied, the viewer can see a mode label in the properties panel, but only when that frame is selected. If they are inspecting an element within that frame that is inheriting the mode, there is no way to show that it is. As for the collection name, its not referenced at all. When we create variables/tokens, we have to repeat the name of the collection in the name of the variable for it to surface and be useful to the devs inspecting the design.

Change the direction of the rows when using wrap

I’ve been using the wrap function in auto-layout since it came out last June. It has helped me a lot, however there are some options I would like to see being added; being able to change the direction of the rows when using auto layout wrap. For example: I’m working on a tile which displays a set of indicator on the bottom. The tile is able to show a max of 4 indicators in one row. When using wrap and showing 6 indicators, the first row shows 4 indicators and the second row shows 2. What I would like to see is an option to change the direction of the rows. Changing the direction would result in showing 2 indicators in the top row and 4 in the bottom row, instead of the other way around. The same principle should be able for columns created by auto layout wrap. This might be interesting for cultures who read right to left. [edit: i just found out wrapping is only horizontal, which means it can only create rows, not columns] I’m sure i’m not the first person who thought of the idea, but

Deselect another users selection

I would like the option to deselect the selection of another user. Too often others viewing a file will select something and never deselect it until they eventually close Figma. It would be nice to remove their selection from an object, so I won’t have to look at the highlight of the selection they have made.

Devmode to handover to client

It seems that I can’t share Devmode with a client or external resource even if they have a Pro account. The only option is if the client is part of the same team. This would mean that I will need to add any external resources to my team and handle their billing too.

[UI3) Spacing Arrangements

I loved the new button to minimize tool bar, makes total sense! 🙂 But can’t see the need of having a floating toolbar. Feel it steals space from the center with no need and also looks visually confusing 😕 Right toolbar’s spacing arrangement is also feeling overwhelming. Overall i like the new UI, but just suggesting some adjustments 🙂

Will there be a localisation mode like dev mode?

When design and content has been reviewed the next stage is localisation. It requires labelling every component with copy and it becomes quite crowded. But if there was a feature like the dev mode toggle allowing the localisation team to translate and put phrase keys in it saves a lot of time duplicating work.

Mobile Prototype Mirroring (but for Desktop)

I regularly prototype using two desktop screens - I like to design with a prototype open at all times to see it in context to it’s actual size. I love the mobile app mirroring feature because it’s easy to select frames and have the prototype view update dynamically. It would be so so awesome to have a similar mirror feature for desktop, where you have a prototype window as the ‘mirror’ that dynamically updates based on the frame that you select in a separate window. Has anyone else wanted something like this?!
