Some files have a Variable panel with a Collections dropdown menu. Other files do not have the dropdown menu. Does anyone know why this happens? See attached. I am in Figma desktop app for macOS, in Professional Plan.I prefer the dropdown menu, but do not see an option to enable it in my files where it is missing.

Currently, annotations only allow you to select the lowest level layers it can find. Many, many times I just want to document something on a whole group or frame, and it doesn’t look like this is possible, which seems like a huge miss.

Find & Replace text is incredibly helpful, but the functionality can have unhelpful/unintended consequences when updating text across components and instances. Current behavior: Find and replace does not distinguish or prioritize between replacing text in parent components, component instances, or strings not within components. This means that if text is replaced within instances, it treats those strings as overridden, and changes to the text in the parent component will no longer automatically update in those instances. Expected behavior:Find and replace text in components before instances (including instances within other components) and update search results before replacing text in component instances. This allows component instances to have relevant text updated by the parent component when possible and not overwriting text strings within instances that shouldn’t be customized. 

Hey guys,Can you make the billing section more viible? Everytime I have to pay for Figma I forget where the invoicing is, I literally spend 10 mintutes to find the billing section to pay my invoice, when I have to do it manually. Every time.

How about the option to choose which export file type is the default when exporting graphics? (i.e. SVG or PNG rather than JPEG) … this would make our devs REALLY happy! 🤩

I’d like to disable comments while I’m working so the client doesn’t comment on it in real time. And be able to turn it back on when the design is done.

Edit: Moved to Share Feedback ContextMy company heavily uses Figma variables and are looking to build out multiple collections each having a unique set of modes. One example would be around Buttons—two collections would be made, one for states and another for size. There would be many other collections that would need to be created to create a comprehensive design system. Caveat: This use case may be an edge case or unique to me.ProblemThe current variable window is very inflexible:Can’t view your list of collections outside of a dropdown feels clunky Can’t resize the left panel with the list of variables Can’t reorder modes (I may be missing something here on why that is built that way)SuggestionsWould be nice to treat the variables’ left panel like the main pages and layer panels Collections could be treated like pages and would be housed in a resizable section above the variables which would be treated like the layers The same way we interact with the pages and layers panels would b

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When I am tagged in a lot of comments in Figma in a short amount of time or throughout the day, the amount of email notifications I get is overwhelming, but I don’t want to turn them off because I forget to check the specific files for comments if I don’t get an email. It would be great to have an option to get a rollup of all your notifications in one email for the day so that I can check for it at the beginning of the day and take action on that feedback all at once. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

It would be amazing and so useful if we could make presentations with AI in Figma Slides. Right now I kind of wing it by pasting from make to slides, but the result is messy and it gets messier when exporting to ppt or pdf. This would be a game changer! 

Searching for plugins has become more common in some scenario than built-in features in figma. It would greatly improve workflow if we could add most used plugins to sidebar or have just 1 click away instead of 3click, writing, click. Multiply it X times per day and it become usability inefficiency.Summary of suggestions:add sidebar of plugins plugins are picked by selecting from favorites plugins are 1-click away sidebar is optional and can be turned off or when empty

Our app has right click options but are limited to one click only with Figma. Would anyone else be interested in having right vs left click options for prototyping?

There is currently no way to give Figma Make files a cover thumbnail. For organizations that use thumbnails to help provide visual structure to their Figma work, this is an essential missing piece. 

Can we have the feature to apply variables to X and Y axes

Hi,I'm working on a Figma Slides project that requires animating text line by line within a single text box, but I've encountered a limitation. Currently, Figma only allows us to animate entire text boxes as single units, regardless of how many lines of text they contain.It would be incredibly useful if we could apply different animations to individual lines of text that are separated by line breaks/returns within the same text box. For example, having line 1 fade in, then line 2 slide in from the right, and line 3 scale up—all within a single text box.This would enable more sophisticated text animations without requiring designers to split text into multiple separate text boxes (which creates maintenance headaches when content changes).Has anyone found a workaround for this? Or could the Figma team consider adding this capability in a future update? Or is it already there and I’ve just missed it?Thanks for your help!

It would be great if Figma allowed users to change their live collaborative cursor into an emoji. When several people are working together without being on a call, this would make it easy to quickly express reactions, like turning your cursor into a 👍 to say “good job” to a product manager or designer. It would add a lightweight, fun, and non-intrusive way to communicate during collaboration.

For years, I’ve been really missing/wanting the ability to create nested folders in figma projects!

Would love if you could add the ability to add a delay on button click to trigger an interaction. Often we’ll have a message or an interaction that doesn’t appear until the completion of some API calls or processing in the background. Being able to add a delay on button click would give me the ability to get the feel for what a possible interaction / feature would actually look like in a prototype or wireframe. Feels like a feature you might want on any interaction…software isn’t always fast 😉

Document organization needs more functionality. I should be able to create sub folders under projects and sub-sub folders, etc as needed. This flat organization doesn’t allow for nuanced file organization that is needed. Please add this functionality ASAP!

I think it would be amazing if we could export frames/images right from the Figma mobile app. There could be an export feature similar to desktop version and user could simply choose where they want to save the exported file to.

Quite often, in a complicated flow, it would be useful to get the name of the frame currently displayed in the preview mode.

As a designer, I incorporate multiple design systems into a single file, and some of these design systems may share the same type styles (e.g., font name, size, etc.). When scrolling, I prefer to keep a sticky header at the top instead of a scrollable one. It’s confusing that I’m on which design system. then i have to scroll to the top to see on what design system I’m in.

Searching for a component takes so long for everything to load, sometimes what i want shows up after i put in the first 4 letters of search but because I’m in the middle of typing it disapears as soon as I type another letter and then it disapears & I have to wait like 4s for everything to load once again. If the dev team could spend time optimising it that would be soooo good! Thanks

figma项目或团队较大时常出现大纲混乱的情况，此时选中大纲中的元素很可能在用户视图外，用户希望在不移动视图的情况下找到该元素的相对位置，考虑添加一个附着于视图边界的指示UI，提示该元素相对于视图的方位

It gets very messy having all the web pages placed on a single canvas, especially with so many components, CTAs, and fonts mixed together. Is there a way to separate them—similar to the Design page—so everything can be organized more clearly?
