If I use a link that is a click, should be green, if it is a hover, could have another color blue, if it is while pressing, purple, and then so on, drag could be red or orange, for example. And they could show in the line a icon related to the trigger it is using.Swap overlay should show a different icon and line color too.Would make it easier to identify when we mistakenly created a drag instead of a click.

We have moved from Pitch to Figslides for our presentation tool. We are finding several issues with Figslides that pitch had nailed, but one of the biggest frustrations I’m hearing from the team is sharing presentations with clients. In Pitch, from one button you could create a link to share with any external party. If you wanted it password protected it would also create the password and copy both link and password as text to share via email.In figslides, you have to go in to presentation mode > share presentation > Copy audience link > Who can access (changed to anyone) > click on password required > click generate password and then paste the link in to a text box or email before going back in to copy the password and paste that to. What should be a simple 1 or 2 step process is 10! Please make this a more simple process and copy both link and password to the copy board at the same time.

We need to apply variables according to property in more styles, much like how we can assign conditional visibility to toggles on and off. If I’m creating a button component, I want to assign text sizes, padding and colors according to properties of size and type. Currently we’re making different instances for every size and type to link them to each property which results in multiplications for each new property.It will probably work using some conditional logic, when the property is this, assign that, and so on ..

As I am using Blender for VFX and 3D modeling, I find some interesting UX there. Like when panning the 3D world: if the cursor reaches the edge of the viewport, it is put on the other end so I can keep on panning. Is something like this a nice idea for the infinite canvas? You pan, and can keep on panning without reaching the limit of your screen. Similarly, when scrubbing values in an input field, in After Effects the cursor is hidden. Maybe hiding is not the best UX, but the idea is that you can keep on scrubbing infinitely without reaching the same limit of your screen.Anyway, I was wondering: could this be a nice UX addition for Figma Design? And other Figma products, perhaps?

I would like to be able to use colour styles just like fills / strokes. Meaning that I would like to be able to apply mutliple of them and or combine them with other fills. Current implementation: Currently using a colour style for either the fill or the stroke completely disables adding new fill or stroke colours Why I would need the feature: Using them in combination with other colour styles and or regular fills / stroke colours would allow me to do things like define shades over an image fill that I could reuse and update easily, or define a highlight shade that I can apply for different states (like mouse over). Currently, if I wanted to do that I would need to create multiple layers and give each of them their own colour styles. This is very much possible but complicates groups that have auto-layout or leads to text layers being below other layers and as such are not easily changeable without going through the layer panel. It would also enable you to quickly create slight variants

Hi everyone,While working on a design system today, I had an idea that I think could be a valuable addition to Figma—especially when it comes to building out basic UI components.It would be incredibly helpful if, after creating just a single base component (like a primary button), we could use AI to automatically generate the full set of common variants based on that one example. For instance: States like hover, focus, and disabled Versions with or without leading/trailing icons Alternate styles like secondary or ghost buttons Of course, this might be harder to apply to more complex components, but for foundational elements like buttons, input fields, tags, or chips, it feels like it could save a lot of repetitive work.I’m sure there’s more to consider technically, but I wanted to put the idea out there—maybe it’s something worth exploring as a potential feature.Thanks for reading, and I’d love to hear what others think!

Hey, I onboard a lot of guests in my Figma organization and it would ease my admin life if I could change the Share settings to “Sanofi + Guest”. Thanks

The spread option allows us to play with the drop shadow effect in creating cool effects. It’s a shame that this option is restricted unless specific conditions are met with the vector shape. Why not just have it always enabled regardless of the vector shape? It’s limiting when you have a desired effect in mind and you can’t use this option, AND it’s frustrating when you can’t figure out why it’s disabled in the first place. I know there are certain conditions like the shape should be a rectangle or a circle or that there’s something to do with the clipping option for frames. This thread is not for asking how to enable the spread option, but instead suggesting to have it enabled at all times. Please fix this 🙂

Small thing, If I attempt to move a file out of drafts and into a folder:right click file “Move to...” select a new folderOnce the new folder is selected, I want to hit enter to submit the form. This can be an option instead of clicking primary action “Move” 

Amazing new tool this Figma Buzz, especially for content teams.However, we can’t find an easy way to create social media carousels. Is there a carousel feature or a setting to remove the grid gap? That will be much appreciated.Thank you Giada - Vitamina Studio

Thanks!

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with the current limitations of Figma’s Slide Deck feature. As a tool celebrated for its UI/UX capabilities, it’s astonishing that Figma lacks fundamental functionalities that are already included in other design platforms. Key Issues: Absence of Interactive Buttons for Non-Linear Navigation: The inability to create buttons within slides that link to other slides severely restricts the creation of dynamic, user-driven presentations. This is a basic feature in tools like Canva, which allows for interactive menus and branching scenarios. Smart Animation for Linked Slides: Once non-linear navigation is added, Smart Animate should apply smoothly across these links to keep animations consistent. This avoids disrupting animations when navigating non-linearly, ensuring a seamless experience. Enhanced Linking Visualization in Grid View: The Grid View is a great feature, but to avoid the mess of overlapping arrows like in Figma’s Prototype mode,

A common pain point I run into is when I select a set of frames that are vertically stacked and use auto-layout to quickly change their arrangement to horizontal. This happens often when organizing existing frames into a workflow. This happens to me at least once a week, so it creates not an insignificant amount of friction.When I set auto-layout for the vertical group, it defaults the individual frames to fill and the outer frame to fixed. When I change the direction of auto-layout to horizontal, it retains the respective fill and fixed selections, thus squishing all the inner frames in the fixed-width layout frame. I then have to undo and manually apply the settings I desire. I think the default setting should be to retain the aspect ratio I’ve already set for the inner frames and set the outer frame to hug. Assume that the inner frames are the size I want them to be and honor that with how auto-layout is applied.

So many times have i accidentally closed the file i am intending to open because of your decision to surface the close X on hover for a tab i am not active in. Chrome does not do this. Please remove it. Make close X only appear for active tabs

In Dev Mode, when selecting an image, you can see the original filename of the placed source image and download it by 1) clicking on the name in the layer properties, or 2) in Assets.However, when downloading, a strange filename is suggested that doesn't match what we see in the layer properties.Question 1: Is it possible to fix this so that the source image is downloaded with the original name?Question 2: Is it possible to bring this functionality into the main editing mode? It's sometimes very useful when working with designs, and it's sorely missed.

Hi Figma Team,I am a regular user of FigJam for creative collaboration. Currently, I am frustrated by the lack of native support for Frame.io links.While YouTube and Vimeo links automatically unfurl into a playable video player with thumbnails, Frame.io links only appear as plain, static link cards. As Frame.io is an industry standard for video review, this significantly disrupts our workflow. We have to manually take screenshots and link them just to make the board look organized.I strongly request: A native Frame.io widget or enhanced link unfurling that supports a video player inside FigJam. The ability to view thumbnails and play videos directly without leaving the FigJam board, similar to the YouTube integration. This feature would be a game-changer for creative teams worldwide who rely on both Figma and Frame.io.Best regards, Seonku

Figma slides is great! One thing that our team has been missing since we’ve been using it is an option to export to .ppt. Our team works a lot on decks for external clients and we would love to use Figma Slides to do that.

When I add a video to a placeholder and play the prototype, the audio starts playing automatically. If I forget to lower the volume, it can be very surprising and embarrassing—especially when I am in a public place or an office environment.This becomes a much bigger issue when there are multiple videos in a design, such as in a testimonials section, because all the videos may start playing audio at the same time, resulting in a very poor user experience.Adding a mute option in the video preview/upload section would effectively solve this major pain point. In addition, including a “click to play” button overlay on videos in prototype mode would be another strong solution to prevent videos from playing automatically. I believe these enhancements would be relatively easy for your team to implement and would significantly improve the overall prototyping experience.I am a UI/UX designer with over 2 years of professional experience. If there are any suitable openings, I would sincerely appre

Could you add the ability to include the update icon thingy next to those nested instances which have updates available but might not have been update when the initial component update was applied, and maybe add an extra option in the instance update menu to also enable the ability to update the instance and nested instance as a short cut, or at least indicate to the user that there are nested instance updates available that haven’t been update.It makes sense that when you do an update to an instance you don’t want to automatically update those nested instances that the user may have already configured their properties, but it would still be very useful from an in application feedback context that the user is still being informed and communicated when there is a potential nested instance update that can be made but hasn’t been executed by the application.Like it could be as straight forward as have an update icon next the nested instance name on the side panel.

It needs to be easier to zero in on the specific things that were change in a branch review. For example, I have a branch where I add a simple line of copy to one frame. But when I review that before merging, it shows me an entire section without multiple layout frames in it. One of them has the new text line, but how am I supposed to know that? See the screenshot below - I made the additional text bigger so you might be able to spot the difference. But what if it was the same size as the rest of the body text? It would be better if it highlighted the specific difference and allowed you to zoom in/out at the parent/child layer level. Dev-mode has a feature that is a little like what I’m talking about. It’s the “Compare changes” that have been made after marking something as “Ready for dev” feature. Even though this doesn’t always work that well either, this would be more helpful than what is available now for reviewing branches. Dev mode change review

Hello!I encountered an issue today where children of a frame (auto layout or not) who have constraints set of any kind (Top + Bottom & Left + Right shown in video demo) will only grow in increments of 1px. In Auto Layout frames with Fill it works correctly, but not with non-Auto Layout. I think this is a bug! Or if it is working as expected, I think the expectation should change, as it does not meet my user expectation!Thank you!Sam Smith

So, in our design system we want to apply variables to our text styles to ensure consistent letter spacing. Since we want to use different letter spacing depending on the mode (light mode/dark mode), we’d like to apply these variables to the text style and assign different values to them.However, as Figma uses percentages for letter spacing, it’s not really possible to achieve this properly. Variables can’t hold percentages, and therefore we can’t fully make use of this feature at the moment.I hope Figma will soon allow us to choose the format we want to use for letter spacing globally.Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

ProblemWhen working on long-term social media strategies, we need to create both visuals and the accompanying copy. Currently, Figma Buzz focuses on visuals, but there’s no dedicated space to add or manage related text content. This forces us to switch between multiple tools or documents, which increases the risk of losing information and slows down the workflow.Proposed SolutionIntroduce a dedicated text area within Figma Buzz, similar to the text blocks available in Figma Slides. This would allow us to write, edit, and organize copy directly alongside the visuals.Why This Would Be Useful Centralizes all content (visual + copy) in one place Makes collaboration and client approvals easier Reduces context switching between tools Minimizes the risk of missing key information  

When marking up a file with comments (comment tool active), if I hold space and activate the hand tool, when clicking to drag (pointer turns into hand icon) instead of dragging a new comment is drawn on the page. Guessing this is a bug not a feature? Just would like to use the hand tool shortcut without creating new comments - this forces changing back to the move tool to cancel out each time

I’m trying to make our design system easier to search by including alternate search terms/tags in the description of the component, and it’s a frustrating experience. I can’t rename the component itself, because we want to keep naming 1:1 with an existing web framework, so I’m adding in alternate search terms in the descriptions.Using the component description works to an extent, by which I mean that the component will appear… somewhere in the middle of a long list.For example, if I search for “dropdown”, my asset panel results will contain a mix of dropdown menu items, icons with “down” in the name, the actual component I want to highlight somewhere in the middle of this, as well as some assets that are completely unrelated to dropdowns if I have other libraries turned on in the document.Many of our components are nested and contain several items for constructing menus (dropdown/item, dropdown/separator etc.) , and these are often shown with equal or more priority than the core compon
