Annotations are hard to locate without a central panel

Aannotation should have a dedicated panel, similar to the comments panel, where all annotations can be viewed and managed more easily. Some context about our team: we use annotations not only for design notes, but also to indicate where event tracking should be implemented. Currently, annotations are too subtle on the canvas, making it difficult for engineers to quickly locate them. This impacts communication and slows down development.

Figma Community Improvements

1. When I open a file in the community in the figma application, and then try to go back, the preserve scroll position does not work, and every time I need to scroll from the very beginning2. When I open a plugin in a file by clicking on opening a plugin through the community, the community tab automatically disappears from the tab panel at the top, the only way to go to this file in the community is to click on the community tab in the window of the plugin opened in the file, but then I go to the file again, and I can no longer return back to the list of what I am looking for

Bring back the view/hide icon for Grid styles

When creating grid as a style (in design system) and applying to a screen, I cannot hide it. The ‘eye’ for visibility is missing. It really bugs me because I can’t see my design properly and have to remove ad place the grid again. Grid when it is style Grid when it is not a style

PROCT ORGANIZATION ON IPAD VERISON

It bothers me going back & forth between my mac & my iPad when making figjam boards, mainly because the full desktop version has the ability to create & view projects, while the iPad version is restricted to recents, drafts, or stars, without organizing any boards in projects. Please add the ability to organize & view projects on the iPad as well, thanks!

Screen Accessibility

We have non-visual team members who are unable to fully participate in the process. Although an accessible navigable version has been released, it currently reads only “links” and does not allow adjustments to specify elements as buttons, for example. To ensure a fully accessible experience, our components should include a dedicated area in their original specifications for defining the correct accessibility roles and attributes. This allows screen readers to navigate the entire screen — not just elements anchored in the HTML.

Interactive components not working when nested inside a main component

Hello, I found out that if i create an interactive component (ex: Button), and place it inside a a main component (obsiously as an instance), the interactions are no longer working. But if you create an instance of the parent component, then it all works as expected.

Viewers should be able to modify text

My team designs complex, data-dense UIs—absolutely packed with text layers. It’s wild. We’re typically subject matter experts in our business area, but our job is to craft narratives that stakeholders can actually follow. To do that, we rely heavily on our PM partners to tell us how to label charts, buttons, lists—you name it—to help sell the concept. So why should viewers be able to edit text directly? Simple: efficiency. Instead of waiting on a PM or stakeholder to respond to a comment with the right copy—then having to copy/paste it into the right layer—just let the person with the right info update it themselves. Asynchronously. This would save us a ton of time during implementation and eliminate the endless back-and-forth over wording. Thanks

Preventing Resizing to Decimal Pixels

I love Figma and have enjoyed used it since the very beginning. It has come on leaps and bounds since since its early days. However, one pain point that continues to frustrate me is the decimal resizing issue, as detailed here almost exactly four years ago - https://spectrum.chat/figma/general/how-to-prevent-decimal-pixels~a6007961-7415-4c1e-9430-7e420491c446 Despite all the other fantastic enhancements in the platform, it is disappointing that this core issue is still present. Even in the latest Playground file (produced by your own team) outlining the latest ‘Copy & Paste’ advancements, you can see the problem firsthand, as per the screenshot below. FAO @Figma & @Figma_Support. Please can I ask that you look at this as a matter of priority. I am sure I am not the only one wasting crucial time, painfully and manually, checking and resizing everything back to integer values. Thank you.

Is there a way to change the layer label color on canvas (not nav pane)?

I change my section background color to 10% black. The layer labels are barely visible requiring me to create my own labels so partners know what layers I’m referencing. Is there a way to set the default label color so it is visible? I would add a screenshot but you can’t see anything. Doh! Alternatively, is there a way for Figma to auto detect the background color and set the label text so it passes accessibility contrast ratios? Seems like an accessibility bug.

Move a page from one Figma file to another

Pretty simple ask: I want to move a page from one Figma to another. I don’t see a way to do it. Select All + Cut + Paste is not a good solution as I might have locked objects that don’t come with the copy and there might be properties set on the page (background color, etc.) that I might lose.

Accessible color theme for UI3

I would love to have a higher contrast theme for Figma’s UI. It has long been a minor annoyance to me that a tool I use to create accessible designs doesn’t itself meet minimum accessibility requirements. However I’m now at a point where it’s actively impeding my own workflows. I’m currently going over hand-off-ready designs to make sure they use variables in all their autolayouts. The distinction between pixel inputs that have variables assigned to them and those that don’t is unfortunately abysmal, making the work very strenuous when it doesn’t need to be. The little raised/sunken area and border around the value isn’t anywhere near WCAG contrast recommendations in either theme. There are plenty of other instances throughout the UI where I feel aesthetics have been prioritised over accessibility and that would benefit from an accessibility audit, but a higher contrast theme would be an excellent start.

First on top layer order in Auto-Layout

Currently auto layout arranges layers from bottom up, i.e. the lower most layer in the layers list appears on top of every other layer on the workspace. This creates two problems 1. Confusion There’s a clear confusion of the order of layers shown in the layers menu and the representation in the workspace. This requires a bit of getting used to 2. Effects like drop shadow don’t work like they are expected to Applying a drop shadow to layer 1 does not cast the shadow on layer 2 And applying a drop shadow to layer 2 casts a shadow over the top layer 1 The Order in the layer menu should be reversed. Does anybody else see merit in this? Update: The same logic applies to horizontal auto-layouts. The right most element is on top whereas the left most element should be on top majorly because we scan left to right hence the element on the lleft most extremity is to be scanned first. for example: Say we require a stack of layers to be shown which shuffles on drag It would make more sense to brin

Figma Slides Analytics

Anyone knows if Figma mentioned something about adding analytics to their slides in presentation mode? Same as pitch.com where you can measure the data from people that open the deck? If not, it might be a nice idea on the roadmap for Figma Slides? What are your thoughts on this?

Add Margins To Auto Layout

Auto-Layout has padding (inner spacing), but no margins (outer spacing). Currently the only 2 ways to add spacing is to: Create a spacer element or Wrap the items in another frame and apply gap spacing This creates a lot of unnecessary frames, and sometimes creates nesting so deep it goes outside the layers panel. Not sure if a technical limitation left this out of consideration in the first few versions of Auto Layout, but it would be much appreciated if it were included in a future version as it comes up as a significant limitation many times a day.

Failed Transform

For a plugin developer, the transform property of Figma is a mystery. When you try to rotate the gradient axis, you will find that the gradient will deform unexpectedly, and you cannot change the center point of rotation. This is completely different from the characteristics presented in the UI, where you can adjust the angle of the gradient transformation at will without worrying about the damn deformation. I don’t understand why Figma, as a UI design tool, does not adopt the same logic as the transform property of CSS, which will avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. At the same time, I think the transform property of CSS is more powerful and supports 3D perspective, rotation, and displacement. So Figma really doesn’t plan to improve your transform property?

Calculation formula within variable input

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

Hide Comments and Presenter Notes When Sharing

This is a feature comment specifically for Slides, but I believe it applies to Figma and FigJam too. When I send a Slides presentation to a client, there is no way to hide my presenter notes or all the comments from me and my team. So before sending I have to be sure to delete all my presenter notes and comments which are only meant to be seen internally. I would love to not have to do this so I can keep internal comments and presenter notes for reference. Would be great if when sharing externally I can choose to hide comments and speaker notes so they can’t see them.

Refine the Set Variable

Hello! Please refine the "Set variable" function so that values can be assigned not only in "Mode 1" but also in other modes. For example: I have a variable MyVar (boolean type) with two modes (Mode 1, Mode 2).I want my prototype to allow me to set MyVar to True in Mode 2 when clicking a custom button. Currently, this is not possible.

Figma Slides - More component features within Slides directly

It would be great if we could create a few custom components within a Figma Slides document. For example: being able to create a custom footer to use on all of your slides, that would contain maybe a company logo, a confidentiality notice, and page numbers. I’m able to create this component in a Figma Design library of course, and publish it and then access it in Figma Slides, but that has a few limitations: The component created in Figma Design is not able to use the font and color styles from the Figma Slides document; since it’s made in Figma Design, it either has no styles applied, or it uses those from another library. Then you’ve got multiple color and font styles mixing in the Figma Slides document, when I’d like to just use one set so it doesn’t get confusing. (Especially if we have non-designers editing the deck – the less styles/libraries available, the better.) I can’t easily make bulk changes to that component that will affect all the slides in only this slide deck. For exa

Allow us to expose Annotations and Measurements to View Seat users.

Hi, The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision. However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users. Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

Text-style overrides like bold, underline, ... bug on instances

Text-style overrides like bold, underline, … won’t work on instances properly, now the instance must be rest for the bold overrides to come though. So a lot of screens needs to be rechecked and manual work is needed everywhere the instance is used. Any solutions for this?

!!!BACK UI2 IMMEDIATELY!!!

For the first time in my life I write a post here. Today, during a demo of my monthly work in the presence of 30 colleagues, figma replaces UI2 with UI3. Thank you, I failed demo because I could not navigate in my own space! Well, that’s what I’ll accept and I will get out. But... I have burning deadlines, I have a release, but the guys from Figma decided that it’s not as important as changing the position of all tools, changing their icons, overloading the right menu with "beautiful UI"… Now instead of working, I have to retrain, you slowed my work several times. Will you pay me for this? Because my employer isn’t! I say this very rarely, because, in general, I am patient with people and their mistakes. Seriously, the dude who invented UI3 and made up his mind from this release, if you’re reading this, think about the meaning of your existence. It’s not normal, it’s beyond good and evil. Imagine that in your house, which you pay for, some man will break in, change the places of all th
