This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables: but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Would be useful (and a better UX) if keyboard shortcuts existed for adding rows and columns to a FigJam table. Tabbing (a common method to create a new row in other apps) causes focus to jump to a different item on the page (e.g., another sticky, text box), which is jarring and disorienting when trying to capture information in a group setting; lose your spot, lose your train of thought, focus goes to getting back to the table instead of listening to the speaker. One alternative or starting point could be providing those as menu commands, which opens up the ability for Mac users to define their own keyboard shortcuts using MacOS > keyboard > app shortcuts.

When working with more complex auto-layouts in Figma, I find myself accidentally changing frames/instances from Fill to Fixed or Hug by double clicking on the edge. In some cases I don’t catch myself and only discover later that parts of a prototype are not responsive. Is there a way to disable this or change the behavior to require a key modifier or something? 

ProblemCurrently, there’s no way to bind the Flex Direction property (horizontal / vertical) to a variable or boolean condition. This makes it impossible to dynamically switch layouts inside a component using variables or modes. Designers are forced to create duplicate components or manually toggle the direction. Proposed SolutionAllow flexDirection to be controlled via a variable or boolean property, similar to how alignment, spacing, and padding can already be managed.Example syntax:flexDirection = isVertical ? "VERTICAL" : "HORIZONTAL" Expected Benefits  Enables adaptive, single-source components without duplicates. Improves token-driven and responsive design workflows. Makes component logic consistent with existing variable bindings.   PriorityMedium–High — essential for scalable, adaptive design systems using Figma variables and 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.

The issue being faced today:I want to have preferred values only show up under the instance swap feature. Not searchable in the assets panel, as these are typically sub-components that I don’t want to be used on their own (examples: a dropdown menu used in a global navigation component, the vector for an icon used to instance swap in an actual icon component to control the sizes via icon properties, a single segment used inside a donut chart, pre-configured links or buttons commonly used inside a bigger component to make it easier to select from a pre-set). Why this isn’t possible:Unpublished and hidden components are treated the same in Figma. Hiding/unpublishing a component in Figma is currently the only way for it to not show up in the assets panel. Hiding/unpublishing a preferred value leads to additional issues: Preferred values cannot be selected by library consumers if they are unpublished. Preferred values must be published in order for updates to be available to library consu

When setting up variable groups for modes, you may need all the same structure (all be it with renamed variable names) I find my self copying a group of number variables then using the same structurce want to apply strings to them (example h1, h1, h3), what would realy help is the ability to convert a group of variables from number to string and back again if need be.

Hi, please make Figma remember my choice when I pick “show as list”. Better still, put it in the Settings. Thanks.  

Include a search bar in the Library analytics panel to rapidly select a component without having to scroll through the list of components.

Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!

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

Hi Figma team,I recently created a Figma site for my app and really love the experience.However, I need to upload a file called app-ads.txt to the root of my domain. This file is required by AdMob to verify ownership of the app and allow us to display ads.Is there any way to host or upload this file directly in a Figma site?Thanks in advance!

Some context: I work as an interaction designer in an enterprise org, but I am the only UXer in my business unit (and my country, as it happens). I work with the company’s core UX team, but I'm not part of that team - I’m part of a specific product’s dev team.Our core UX team maintain a component library, which I can (and do) use… but can’t edit - which is fair.  Unfortunately, the product I work on is an outlier and has a lot of unique needs.  I also maintain my own component library for things which are completely unique to this product… that all works well.What doesn’t work so well is when I need a custom variant of a component from the core team’s library.  I don’t need (or want) a whole new component, or the maintenance overhead of maintaining a local branch of their entire component library (if I even can without having write-access to it) - I just need to be able to add (for example) a single new variant to a library component which I can use locally without having to detach thi

Many people have said the same thing, but I’m here to recommend supporting percentages within auto layout. I’ve seen many people asking for the same thing.Percentage width auto layout would help us be more efficient. Auto layout “Fill container” is great for sections being sized equally (50/50 or 30/30/30).When we’re designing content with sections, the sections are generally not the same width as each other to indicate importance.Myself and many other designers would love to have autolayout support something like this:The main container has the same spacing all the way around Each section takes up a specifid percentage of the container (70% and 30%) When the modal grows and shrinks, those sections maintain their width of 70% and 30%  Without spacing With spacing 800px wide     1000px wide      This is what autolayout currently supportsIf we use auto layout, each section must be a specified width or the same width as the other sections.  It makes

It seems very unusual to publish a code generation feature without any kind of mechanism for export to version control. While I’ve been testing figma make and enjoyed the result, i’m having to consider moving to alternatives like lovable because of the benefits of simpler integration with version control.Will we be able to link our figma make projects to a github repository in future?an alternative approach would be integration with the figma for VSCode extension. 

Would love if there was a animate like the line draw animation in Keynote. It’s the one thing that’s still missing that I used to use in Keynote.

ProblemWhen building larger prototypes in Figma Make, it’s easy for structure to drift — especially across pages or collaborators. For example, the navigation or layout might get accidentally edited or slightly misaligned, breaking visual consistency. RequestAdd the ability to lock sections or turn them into reusable components. This would make it possible to:  Lock a navigation bar or footer so it can’t be moved or edited accidentally. Define a reusable page layout (e.g., header + sidebar + content area) that stays consistent across all pages. Quickly update all instances when a layout or component changes.   Why it mattersThis would save time, reduce errors, and make multi-page prototypes in Figma Make feel more structured and scalable—especially for teams using it as a design-to-code tool. ExampleLock or “componentize” a navigation section so every page automatically inherits it and stays aligned with the global design system.

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

Often in my designs I need to provide fork for flow to go one way or another depending on conditions. When I use If/ Else and add Navigate to - the dropdown is not ordered alphabetically. I’m not sure what it was ordered on if on anything. It makes it really hard to find what frame I want to navigate to in according condition.If I start typing I can find a frame but due to the mess of not aphabetically ordered and a lot of frames that might start with same few letters this is not much help.Could we have actual search (Typeahead dropdown) instead or at least order it please alphabetically?  

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

Been playing around with the “expose nested properties” feature currently in beta. One of the great uses of variant properties is the ability to batch edit property values on multiple selected components. That use doesn’t carry over to exposed nested properties (yet I hope). Demo file to help When selecting one component instance exposing nested properties, said properties display fine. Add another instance of the same component to your selection (using Shift+Click), and the nested properties outright disappear from the right panel. I haven’t seen this issue raised elsewhere! Do you experience it too?

Yellow attention banner - why must the whole organisation see this? Can the message be only shown to admins and not the whole team as we are flooded with emails and chat messages about it plus you can see the email addresses and the names of the responsible persons. We suggest to not annoy the whole team with this.

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 growing on the sides as we can see:but this growing effect (which is possible glad the ‘hug’) need to stop when reach the max width from the chip’s parent container and this, Figma can’t help me. So, th

Feature Request: Per-user layout guidesCurrently, all guides in a Figma file are shared across collaborators. When multiple people work in the same file, guides overlap and create clutter.Request: Allow each user to have private guides that only they can see, with the option to toggle visibility of others’ guides.This would make collaborative design cleaner, reduce visual noise, and let each designer work efficiently without interfering with others’ layouts.
