Suggest a Feature

I spent hours choosing fonts in my Figma Design file, only to move to Figma Sites where I can’t use my custom fonts. It’s so confusing because the custom fonts work great in Design and even look good in Sites when you are building (why is it supported in the design part of Sites at all if it isn’t an available feature? That’s misleading). It’s only when I started previewing my work in Sites that I started to catch on that there was an issue. Frustrated and considering moving to a different program because of this.Anyone else running into this issue?

First off—thank you for continuing to push Figma forward. It’s an incredible tool, but there are a couple of areas that feel unnecessarily clunky in day-to-day work.1. Variables workflow The current variable tables look and feel like a spreadsheet, but don’t work like one. Copying and pasting CSV-formatted text into variable tables would be a huge efficiency boost. Editing values one at a time is frustrating when you need to create or adjust many variables. Plugins exist for bulk import, but they feel like hacks—this should really be a native capability in the UI. 2. Content import + duplication It would be amazing if we could paste CSV or text data into a selected component (like a text input) and have Figma duplicate and fill instances automatically. This is common in coding workflows, yet in Figma it remains slow

I was taking the Figma design for beginners course and I left off yesterday in hopes that my progress will be saved so that I can pick up where I left off this morning but not only was I logged out my account, even upon logging in, I had to manually start the session from where I left it yesterday. It was quite a friction, also to know that you are making progress and being able to track that increases satisfaction on a beginners end specially when one is trying to commit towards and learn a new tool, it’s like an invisible crowd cheering on.EDIT: *PROGRESS TRACKING FOR FIGMA COURSES

Hello. I highly appreciate the new feature allowing us to use the text-decoration simply with the keyboard shortcuts. However, I’ve noticed that when applying text-decoration using shortcuts like cmd+b or cmd+u within components, the styling does not save properly. For example, if I bold the label in a button using cmd+b and later try use it and change the label text property, the bold formatting is removed. The same issue occurs with underline on hover effects - e.g. when I underline text for hover states using cmd+u, the underline is lost. While it was a relief that I don’t longer have to create all possible text-decoration variations as the separate text styles in my design system (like: “Body/Bold, Body/Bold Underline” etc.), now I feel like I should go back to this more time-consuming approach. Please consider this feedback or let me know if there’s a flaw in my workflow.

I would like to be able to reorder properties of a component, incl. nested components. To give an example: A boolean shows/hides an instance of a component and I want the properties of that nested component underneath the boolean. Example: Properties (these control the visibility of optional elements in a form component [in this case a Select component]) Required Help text Validation message Nested Instances (These control e.g. the labelling of the optional elements through text properties) FormControl/Label SelectButton FormControl/HelpText FormControl/Validation message

Our team is still looking for a good design tool to use for our online presentations (we use Microsoft Teams). Now we love Figma Slides to present, but we often have to present videos and animations. Presenting these with Microsoft Teams’ screensharing isn’t very good, as you get a lot of latency issues and audio clipping.It would be really great if Figma Slides could get a similar integration with Microsoft Teams like Powerpoint has. With PowerPoint you can share a presentation directly from the Teams meeting, which then creates an online presentation which runs smoothly for all the viewers.Hope the team at Figma can find a way to achieve this, it would greatly help the motion design presentation workflow for many agencies!Kind regards!Niels

Better organization of content in submenus in the design area. Sometimes I use the slot method to compensate for missing options and possibilities in Figma. Here is an example: “Edit instance swap property”. I have about 20 favorite objects. But they are not organized in the window. Neither thematically nor alphabetically. So I have to do this manually. An autoscroll function is missing here. This means selecting several objects, moving them up or down and using auto-scroll to move them to the desired position. The “preferred values” are also not passed on. So if I have prepared a slot with preferred values and copy it, for example, 8 times (for 8 slots), these preferred values are not included. “Refresh” in the context menu of a warehouse (slot). Right-click to open the context menu and select “Swap instance”. All “preferred values” are not in the previously manually created order. That means all the work again, for each slot 🙈 Thanks

Hey!I would be interested to open my designs, generated by Figma Make into Figma.Do you have this feature in your backlog?Thank you!Nathalie

Why is there no view for managing layers in Figma Slides? Maybe there is, but it’s tough to find. I suppose I was expecting a layers panel on the left somewhere, where I could flip between seeing my slides and the layers. Without it, we’re losing a key reason of why Figma Slides would be a better alternative than using Google Slides.

In Figma Slides today, the Layers Panel only shows when a slide is selected. This means if we have any objects outside of the slides, they are very difficult to modify. I think I understand the logic to keep the space cleaner but the space inevitably gets used for smart objects specific to the slides or things waiting to be assigned a slide and more. We have the full fledged functionality of Figma but got too clever by hiding the layers panel when working outside of a slide which hampers the program.

When I used the search on all pages to find something in my file, the next time I use the search it is still set to “all pages” and runs immediately on the term entered before. This behaviour distracts me if I need to search only this page this time. What about a buffer of 1 character until the next search runs?

The current implementation of the viewport is somewhat limited because I can’t use pinch to zoom function with the keyboard’s touchpad. Tried different browsers also and different touchpad’s, but it’s the same behavior. Enabling this will make using Figma possible on iPad browsers. Thanks.

Admins assemble! We all love the little quality of life improvements brought by the “Little Big Updates” series. How about a little love for all hard-working Figma admins who have to often work around suboptimal UX and spend way more time than needed tediously solving administrative problems? Post your little big proposals here and let’s hope one day they all come in a big juicy update. I’ll start: The modal when requesting an upgrade to Editor includes a small text field to write a reason but it is very unnoticeable. No matter what we do, people ignore it unconsciously because it just doesn’t even look like a text field. Please add a label on top of it saying “Write a reason for upgrade” and make the text field 2 or 3 lines high. To have an option to make the Upgrade request reason mandatory would also make our lives way easier. It is unbelievable that in the Figma Notifications UI, the reasons written for Upgrade requests

Our developers spend a lot of time in Figma Inspect, having to convert everything from pixels to REM. Implementing a way to specify the document’s “font-size,” or the equivalent of 1 REM and being able to turn on REM measurements in inspect would save so much time and make our design to development handoff easier. edit: Yes, we could use Zeplin but we are an enterprise team with many projects - why pay for yet another subscription if Figma could implement this one thing?

Ultimately, the AI features are great value add - although at a price. There are many things I would prefer integrated or at least having some consistency between the tools.Some of them includeAdding the Make Changes feature into FigJam that are there for traditional design files Allowing for import/export of visio documents Conversion of files between FigJam, Design, Sites, Make, etc.

When detaching a child (nested) instance, this should detach that instance ONLY. It should NOT detach the parent instance (or any other component instance higher up in the chain).

OK, maybe I’m just lazy but while developing a plugin using an AI editor to help, it would be really nice if I could highlight/copy the red error messages form the Figma application. I know the solution to this issue but for other issues it’s good to give AI the exact wording.

I was surprised to discover today that embed prototypes in Figma Slides do not show the mobile cursor nor allow me to hide the device frame.. 

Problem: Figma pages that were created to generate a prototype can be confusing for engineers and fellow designers. We sometimes get away with cleaning up the pages and labeling the frames, but that doesn’t always do the job especially for more complex flows. So we end up creating a separate page for our engineers which looks more like a sitemap with arrows for navigation. Solution: Have Figma auto generate a flat flow (sitemap) from the prototype. So it would take a prototype and create a new Figma page that has all the interactions of the prototype layed out in separate frames. They should be well organized frames of all the screens and interactions like popup modals, flyouts, all linked with arrows that can be labelled by the designers.

Is there a plan for Figma to support relative font size units, such as vw, vh, vmin, vmax, etc.? The design system I’m working at is trying to add fluid font size calculations to bigger title sizes, and Figma’s native support for these units would be extremely helpful. I’m also working separately on a plugin that converts inputed relative units to px values, but it seems Figma’s API won’t support background-running plugins that observes text layer changes. Any thoughts on making the plugin more useful?

I want to apply AI to Figma for example automatically update or generate UI screens following my current asset (I will create a library with color, icon, component, font of text, size of text,...). I see the feature First draft in Figma but it only allows me to use the existing libraries of Figma, cannot put mine. Please support me with this.

Hi there- I was just wondering about the possibility of adding a new feature surrounding components which could hopefully expedite some slow and time consuming processes- namely defining more complex variables which rely on the modal values of other variables without applying and editing it every single time to every relevant component- which is incredibly time consuming (for context, I used Figma as required for an assessment task, and building it with the variables in interactions took up too much time, both in figuring out how to apply variables if I couldn’t predefine them -apart from simple definitions in the variables table- and in debugging all of it- I even stayed up all night because I was too stressed- I ended up working on it from late afternoon all the way to 8 AM and thinking of solutions and I still couldn’t finish it- and that was just some of the final touches that should not have taken as long as it did.. even got sick from not sleeping.

We are able to use icon fonts as icons in Figma (e.g.: Font Awesome, Material Icons) but the new Material Symbols font isn’t built into Figma yet. It would be so cool if Figma implemented this… What do you guys think?

For example, select a with the cursor, and write the same for b. Or write for B that the value of A multiplied by 50,000. I wish we could have this kind of function.The ai is absolutely powered by the text you enter, and even a slight change in the description is producing a completely wrong result.It would be nice if we could select multiple objects, such as adding the values of A and B to C.
