I’m hoping for a Figma Make integration for Gitlab like they did for Github so I can more easily share the code with developers at my company. I think the workaround is to ‌download a zip from Figma Make and place into a project in an IDE like VSCode to then connect to Gitlab. It’s not ideal, especially for designers.Hopefully I’m not missing a better solution that exists.

It would be very helpful to allow the Review updates modal to be resizable and for the image(s) shown to scale accordingly. When a large number of components are being updated it is tedious to have to continually zoom in and out depending on the size of the component. Being able to make the modal larger with an auto scaled visual of the components would save a lot of time.

Hello Figma Team,I really appreciate the new sidebar update and the overall improvements to the interface. However, I would like to share a usability concern regarding the vertical ruler.Currently, the sidebar overlaps and hides the vertical ruler, which makes it difficult to quickly access and place guides without collapsing the entire panel. This interrupts the workflow and adds unnecessary friction during design tasks, especially when working with alignment-sensitive layouts.It would be greatly appreciated if the vertical ruler could remain visible within the canvas area, even when the sidebar is expanded. I believe this small adjustment would significantly improve the overall user experience for many designers.Thank you for your continued efforts and improvements to the platform.

it’s different from just using history. we are working on a file that was ongoing for years, some of the frames are old, some are new. we want to see what is the age of each screen to understand the timeline of our work. we could scroll back in time and see, but then we would had to jump between times, trying to discover and guess when a screen was created, rather then the possibility of just clicking on it and see the date of the creation

I’ve been looking into how I can leverage the new MCP server functionality in my design-to-dev handover process, but have been struggling with a few issues.As a means of speeding up my web design process, I have created singular components (no variants) that use variables for spacing, typography etc. These variables relate to modes like Wide Desktop, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile. My idea is that I’d like the MCP to read the singular component and be able to extract all the variables information across all modes and map those values to Tailwind classes (such as pt-4 md:pt-6 lg:pt-8 etc..) With a fair bit of back-and-forth, I’ve been able to recreate a passable version of my designs, but only for a single instance - this using variables from the default/first variable mode. So it’s not ideal to select one frame/screensize at a time and prompt the agent to recreate it - the code output can get messy pretty quickly.Do we know if th

Hi Figma developers! It turns out that exporting Figma fonts in JSON format provides the result that looks smth like this: "style": { "fontFamily": "Quattrocento Sans", "fontPostScriptName": "QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic", "fontSize": 72, "fontWeight": 700, "italic": true, "letterSpacing": 0, "lineHeightPercent": 100, "lineHeightPx": 84.375, "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%", "textAlignHorizontal": "CENTER", "textAlignVertical": "CENTER" }, for a page like this:

Hi everyone!  I have seen a lot of posts here about having to detach a fill of a layer in order to change the opacity and asking for opacity to be also able to save as its own variable, but this is not exactly my wish. I wish to define a variable that has a not a 100% fill, but rather references another color variable and has a different opacity without having to detach the referenced variable. Example use case:Alert component with 3 variants. In this case the “color” variable is the background in the first of the 3 variants (from left to right) and also the text and stroke color in the other two variants. “background” variable in this case only the background in the 3rd variant.  In light mode it is a light blue, but a solid light blue. In dark mode, instead of having to define a whole new “dark-gray-ish blue” color to reference here, I would just like to reference the “info/main” variable, with an opac

Figma has stopped remembering the file sorting preference: It now always defaults to ‘Last Modified’ at the beginning of session, no matter what your choice was. Can we have it back?This is now default at the beginning of every sessionI am these days having to open this dropdown ‘Sort By’ → Alphabetical 30 times a day. Last modified does not work for us since it shows us whole new set of files every time because how many people work and edit files daily; Alphabetical works better for us since we use numerical naming and then every file is correctly displayed in the intended order of product importance (home, registration, features, etc)

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

I think the branching feature is very interesting and I can see it being of great use to my team as we are moving from Adobe XD to Figma. However, I would love to see a search functionality when browsing the branches in See all branches. I can see a potential issue in the future when looking for a specific branch made months ago. My idea is to use a branch for each JIRA ticket and name it accordingly. A search functionality would greatly help with the trackability of each design change.

Ability to create modal windows via "Open Overlay" is very convenient, but it would be nice to be able to use a specific token to darken the background in the "Background" section, so that the user would be able to change the tint or opacity for all modal windows at once, rather than each one individually. 

There is a great feature in Notion called “close redirecting browser tabs” This is a setting that, when toggled on, automatically closes a browser tab when a page open in the desktop app. It would be great if Figma had this feature as well. When I click on Figma links, I end up with lots of browser tabs like this, because the pages open in the Figma desktop app. I would love if these tabs auto-closed.

Hello,I always enjoy using Figma Design and FigJam.I use FigJam for organizing Minecraft addon development and system design, and as projects become larger, I’ve started encountering difficulties balancing “the amount of information inside nodes” with overall readability.Currently, FigJam is extremely effective for:mind mapping organizing ideas visualizing dependencies structuring systems and architecturesHowever, as projects scale up, each node tends to require a large amount of detailed information, such as:identifiers recipes geometry references technical notes implementation status tags JSON-related inf

Make a copy button is prominent and copy button is almost ununderstandableI have been using Figma Make a lot recently and keep running into the same UX issue.On the top-right of the interface, there are two very similar actions:Copy Design (small icon button) Make a copy (large primary button)The problem is that visually, “Make a copy” is much more prominent, so muscle memory makes me click it almost every time when my actual intention is to copy the generated design into my working file.Instead of copying the generated design, it creates a completely duplicated file, which is not what I want most of the time.Why this feels confusingBoth actions are essentially “copy-related” actions:“Copy Design” →

It is quite frustrating that there is no search function in the expanded available frame list when adding the open overlay action to a trigger. When numerous frames are created, locating the target frame for linkage becomes difficult. Dragging to set interactive links is convenient, yet cumbersome when working on an oversized canvas. Additionally, a single trigger supports multiple actions, and dragging fails to create interactive links when adding a second action.  I really wish there was a search function for available overlays.

The function to lock to a current zoom percentage (usually 100%) to keep the sense of scale consistent. I don’t think I’m the only one that has a difficulty with the sense of scale when designing and I believe that the ability to prevent zooming may help this or build a better sense of scale throughout a design.

As written in the documentation (Prototype interactions and animations) the destination of a Scroll to action can only be an element of the same top-level frame. But with this limitation it is impossible to prototype a common navigation pattern. On one-pagers there are often floating menu for intrapage links. E.g you have an hamburger icon that opens a menu overlay from where you can scroll to a specific page section. This can’t be realized with an Figma overlay because of the restrictions mentioned above. There is a workaround, but it seems that it only works because of a bug: You can set the menu overlay as an child of the top-level frame of the one-pager, define the Scroll-to actions and then move the menu outside the frame (as an separate top-level layer) to show it later as an overlay. By doing this all the Scrol

I’m sharing the Figma Buzz link but it always go back to Asset View.It would be nice to toggle and decide which default view the viewer see from the link. 

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation: Cant override opacity in the alias: Example 2 Cant override the fill opacity:

It would be great if you could add support for audio files in Figma Slides — with options like play on click, autoplay, and loop.At the moment, we need to convert audio files into video files just to make them work.

It would be great to have a simple toggle to show or hide the layout grid directly in the Properties panel — only for the current frame I’m in or for the ones I have selected.Sometimes I just need to view the design without the grid, and right now I have to go into Styles and manually toggle the visibility there.A quick “eye” icon or similar control for layout visibility per selection would make this much faster and more intuitive.

Having the ability to create subfolders within Projects would be a huge plus. For small to large teams. Please consider this, thank you. 

We love our FigPals, please dont take them away😭

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

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!
