Apply various font weights without breaking text styles

Currently, you are able to use the ctrl+B command on a text style to apply the bold font weight to a desired string of text without breaking the text style. However, if you want to apply other font weights like light, medium, semibold, or black, you must either create a entirely new text style (which can add up quite quickly) or detach the text style and manually change the weight. A way to apply various font weights without breaking the style (in the same vein as applying different styling like bold, underline, and italic) would be extremely helpful in increasing a design system’s adoption and flexibility.

Add "with previous build" and "delay" to object animations

Right now objects can only animate “on click” or “after previous step”In Keynote, you can have object animations build in with other objects, and have a delay before the animations happen. This allows for some really clean build in animations and more control. Would be awesome to have in here as I’m trying to migrate away from Keynote to vertically integrate into Figma.

Allow automatic local saving of files with desktop app

The other day my internet went out and I was frustrated to discover I couldn’t work on a design in Figma because by default it saves everything to the cloud. Please allows us to select an option where files are either saved locally instead of online or a copy is saved locally. It makes sense to have it in the cloud for the browser based app, but not for the desktop one.

Feature request: Nested folder structure in Project

Reopening this topic as it was the closest topic I found on this was closed a while ago.I’m wondering how the community is going around not having this feature in Project folders? I agree that having that level of organization in Projects helps a lot to keep clear paths to past work without the need to Archiving. Any recomendations on how you address this while Figma doesn’t have this feature available more than welcome! And happy to provide more insight if the ask isn’t clear.

FigJam Tables: Change font color

Tables in FigJam are great, but I’d like to be able to change the color of the text font within a table, for certain rows, columns or cells. For an example use-case, I’m working with a customer journey map, and I’d like to be able to color-code text along the journey based on various criteria, such as red text for negative sentiment, green for positive, etc.I know that I can copy and paste the table from FigJam into a Figma design file to change font color, but when I do that, I’m not able to use other nice table-related features in Figma at this time, such as adjusting the width of individual columns.Thanks!

Pasting values to comments from Excel

Any way to only paste cell values in comments? when copying from excel, pasting in comments includes cell markup. in the example below of what pastes in comments, i am only trying to paste the link " https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/clinic-visit " usage for this is that we are given a link grid and link tagging structure to paste in comments to make it easier for and marketers to QA what the links should be. it didn’t start pasting this way until recently this is what pastes: table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator:“.”; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:“,”;}tr {mso-height-source:auto;}col {mso-width-source:auto;}td {padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px; padding-left:1px; mso-ignore:padding; color:black; font-size:11.0pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; font-family:Calibri, sans-serif; mso-font-charset:0; text-align:general; vertical-align:bottom; border:none; white-space:nowrap; mso-rotate:0;}.xl671 {color:#4472C4; vertical-align:middle; border:.5pt solid windowt

Why Figma language is limited to english and chinese?

Hi. I see that macOS Figma App has iproj files for multi language but these files seems to be unused to allow user to change language ! Contents → Frameworks → Electron Framework framework → Versions → A → Ressources → fr.iproj Also the only proposed alternative is to use chrome browser and it extension gg translate , but this one can be intrusive ! I use only safari .

Zooming in template library

Hello, Figma team!I was hoping if we could add a feature in the asset library where in details panel we could zoom in on what we were seeing.Like you can see in the attached screenshot. It is very difficult to see the email. We are creating a component library for our team so that they can use these emails in any project but because it is so small people are having a really hard time looking at the email.Can we please do add a zooming feature here. With respect,Ayush MaanFigma pro user

Feature request: Choose libraries to add to projects

Hi thereI think it would be a great timesaver if it were possible to choose which libraries are automatically added to new files within a project. At the moment I am constantly removing the default libraries and having to search & add the ones I want to each new file created. Being able to control this at a project level will reduce a lot of friction and repetitive admin, and is in line with the concept of keeping files as light as possible.Thanks team Figma for all your hard work on an awesome product!

How can we prevent developer annotations from being visible to clients in Figma?

At our company, we regularly share our Figma designs with clients for feedback. We also use annotations (comments/notes) to leave technical or developer-specific instructions. Ideally, we’d like those annotations to only be visible to developers (in Dev Mode), not to clients viewing the design.However, we’ve noticed that these annotations also show up in the regular design view — meaning our clients can see all those notes too, which isn’t ideal.Are we missing a setting or best practice here? Is there a way to completely hide these developer annotations from client view (not just manually hide them per user)? We’re hoping for a more foolproof way to restrict access to those notes.Thanks in advance!

Add Dev ressources in a branch

Hey, can anyone explain the reason, why it is not possible to add dev resource in branches? It seems to be only available in the master, which feels weird. More context: In our case working with branches means the work that is reviewed before a merge must be complete so adding the correct dev resources is very likely part of review processes but the way its currently provided is for unknown reasons prohibited. Is that a technical limitation? Why is this the case? The fix would just be to add the plus button while working in branches, someone must have actively removed it to be unavailable in branches?

UI3 right sidebar in Design mode harder to navigate with component section at top

UI3 erased my muscle memory on where to go to adjust a layer’s position and layout properties. They now appear at different positions depending on what type of element I’ve selected. E.g. a component with a lot of properties will cause the position and layout sections to be completely scrolled off the bottom of the panel. This adds up to cumulative slow downs and increased cognitive load while adjusting these parameters across many layers quickly. And there is no good way to restore this muscle memory because the panels are always in a different position. Would love to see these moved back to the top or a way to reorder the panels via settings or something… Thanks!

Hide base components in assets tab

Could only find a close topic so reopening it. Currently it is not possible to hide components used within components, that will be applied in final use. My clients frequently would use the base components which I would like to disallow them to do. I’m aware of the hide syntax in the naming system, but if i do so, my components will break, because Figma does not recognized hidden components as being published.

Limiting features on Figjam

I’m trying to understand if there’s any way to limit how many features are available to users on FigJam. I understand how to lock things onto the board, but is there any way to stop users from utilizing the many options? I’m an educator trying to see if it’s a tool that can work for me. My two classes where I’ve tried it have been chaos. Kids are either really distracted by the sheer volume of stuff available to them or they’re overwhelmed by the sensory input of way too much stuff. It’s like holding class in a carnival. I’d love to be able to pick and choose which things they can do. They don’t really need stickers. And stamps. And reactions. And to play music. And to make random polls pop up. And so forth. I might use those things all sometimes, but I’d love to limit the menu of what they can do.

FIGJAM: Absolute positioning of text on connectors when not anchored to midpoint

When using FigJam to create UML diagrams, I’m often adding “Yes” or “No” labels to the arrows coming off of the decision diamond shapes. For ease of reading, I move these labels off their default positioning at the connector midpoint to a location on the connector near its origin where attached to the decision diamond shape. The issue is that this appears to be anchoring this text to the connector at a point relative to the length of the connector. If the connector is moved, extended or shortened, the text label also shifts and sometimes this shift is dramatic when the connector is lengthened to another part of the diagram.Connector labels positioned close to decision shape when connectors are short  Connector labels relatively positioned but further away when connectors are long The ideal behavior IMO would be for text anchored on the connector to be locked to an absolute distance from the nearest connector end point. Only when anchored to the midpoint, with a clear snap, would the te

Ability to toggle visibility of applied Style without removing it

I have a Color Style applied as a Fill on an object. If I want to temporarily toggle that fill, my only option is to ‘Detach Style’ or remove the style entirely. Then I’d have to scroll through my list of styles and find which one was applied to add it again. Instead, I want to keep the style intact but just temporarily be able to toggle it’s visibility. When a regular colour is added as a Fill, on the other hand, there is an eye icon to toggle visibility of that fill. It’s helpful to be able to quickly preview how something looks with or without a background, for example. I feel like this functionality discourages the use of Color Styles, which is counter productive. Sure, it’s minor, but it’d speed up my workflow and encourage wider adoption of Styles. Am I overlooking something, or trying to use styles in the wrong way? Anyone else stumbled on this before?

Please add the DPI conversion function.

I use 96DPI as default to create a window-based app. Figma is based on 72DPI, so the size looks broken when I upload the image.DPI conversion is desperately needed.

Please update Instagram frame prototype size in the prototype toolbar

Please update the Instagram post frame prototype size to reflect Instagram’s new (stupid) size in the prototype frame toolbar. In the meantime, I have created a component frame with a built-in grid set up to account for the size change from grid view to click view, I’d just rather it be one convenient click and be correct in the prototype toolbar.

Fonts: Support of Color Fonts?

Dear Figma Support Team, I am writing to inquire about the current support for color fonts in Figma. As a designer, I greatly appreciate the versatility and creative possibilities that color fonts bring to my work. I have recently been experimenting with various color font formats, such as OpenType-SVG and COLR/CPAL, which allow for intricate multi-colored typography. However, I have encountered some challenges when attempting to utilize these fonts within Figma’s design environment. It appears that Figma currently lacks full support for color fonts, as I have experienced difficulties with the proper rendering and editing of these fonts within the platform. It would be immensely beneficial if Figma could extend its capabilities to fully embrace color fonts, enabling designers like myself to fully explore the potential they offer. Color fonts have become increasingly popular, allowing for more expressive and engaging designs across various mediums. With their ability to incorporate vibr

Ability to reset frame names to 1 within project

A small issue, but would love a quick way to reset my frame naming conventions back from 1, or if i bring a frame from another file and it’s frame 300 for example, it comes into my project and resets it to the numbering of my file. Somehow we’ve managed to get to frame 1293033 and it drives me up the wall that it just keeps getting higher and higher.

Feature Request: Recursion

For some interactions, I need a component that can nest an instance of their own component so that a part of the interaction can be repeated multiple times recursively. This request also relates to this post: How to make recursive nested components? As an example, prototyping a text field that creates a new textfield below the one you type. Currently, I am faking it by creating one component that has all the states of the textfield. Then, I have multiple components that essentially have an instance of the empty textfield and the next state of the textfield including a new empty one. The new empty one is though a component of the next instance and so on. This bypasses the recursion restriction but it does not scale (as it is limited by the amount of extra components) and is hard to maintain. If I want to make changes, I need to update many components. If recursion was allowed, one component would be enough as I could just put an instance of the variant within the same component. This w
