I find it’s a really long process to re-locate a file that belongs to another team once I’ve closed it. It appears under ‘Recents’ but that often isn't the most organised space to find things in. Please can we get a shared tab on the left sidebar, or bring the ability to pin/star files back?

 Why would you have a hover state like this when selecting a color ? I am selecting the color not sampling it! This is the most idiotic design decision I have ever seen. Just as the user is about to make a selection you change the cursor !  Can we vote to get this removed asap ? 

I'm really enjoying the Actions menu! It would be awesome to have the option to access the Assets tab directly as well, just like we can currently access the Assets left panel with a keyboard shortcut. This way, we could set a custom shortcut to open the Assets tab directly from the Actions floating menu.  ​@Figma_Desktop🙏

I would like to suggest to have a table or grid element ready to use inside Figma Design.It would be wonderful to be able to:- Drag rows or columns around to rearrange them (not only in FigJam)- Change cell types and styles (add or remove icons, selection mode, etc.)These tweaks would make such a difference in my day-to-day work!Thanks so much for all you do 😊🍀

We are a development shop that regularly hires external designers. We have to pay for each of them to access our Figma projects, even though they already have their own Figma subscriptions. It is frustrating and feels unnecessary, but it is not the main issue.The real problem is that we do not want external designers to have access to all of our projects. Creating a new team for each project would require us to pay for multiple licenses for our own developers and pay again for each external designer across every project. This level of overbilling is unacceptable to small dev shops.Is there a way to limit editor access to a single project within a team without requiring duplicate licensing fees?

Problem:Designing without a system can get messy fast.You waste time. You repeat work. Your app or website looks different on every page.Without a design system, your project feels slow and confusing.Agitate:Imagine this — you spend hours making a button look right.Then next week, someone else designs a button that looks different. Now the app looks broken.Or worse, the developers don't know what version to code.Everyone is frustrated.You lose time, money, and trust.Solution:Good news: You can fix this by building a simple design system in Figma.Figma makes it easy to create and share design rules with your whole team.Let’s walk through it step-by-step.Step 1: Know What You NeedBefore opening Figma, stop and think.Ask: Who is this design system for? What will it cover? (Website? Mobile app?) Will it need to grow later? A design system should include: Colors Fonts (text styles) Buttons, forms, cards Icons Rules on how to use everything Write down your plan first.This will he

So when searching for the file name on the add new file page. Can you also add the project name so you don’t open the wrong file? the contents of the search results should be quite the same when we search for files on the home page

Sometime a prototype, regardless of presentation (ctrl/cmd+alt+enter) mode or Preview mode (shift+space), doesn’t update. While in Presentation mode it requires to → Reload the page of the presentation:I notice something isn’t updated Move cursor to the window tab Reload tab While in Preview mode it requires to →  Switch what page is selected from the left panel in order to trigger a forced reloaded prototype (figma logo + loading):I notice something isn’t updated Close prototype preview window Select a different page from the left panel → wait for it to load Select the original page that contains the Frame that I want to preview → wait to load Select the Frame → shift+space → Prototype loads in preview window (figma logo + loading bar) I’m asking to include a CTRL/CMD+R or Shift+R to force reload a prototype:I notice something isn’t updated Shift+R → Prototype loads in preview window (figma logo + loading bar)This saves me to close and swap pages which in a large file switching pages

Feature Request DescriptionPurposeEnable designers to tag every text element or component instance with two properties—“Content Type” (e.g., username, numeric ID, full name, long-form example) and “Language” (e.g., en, fr, ja). Figma AI will then generate realistic placeholder strings that match these declarations each time an element is duplicated or an override is reset.Key BenefitsRealism at Scale: Automatically populate design systems with varied, on-brand sample data, reducing manual editing. Component Integrity: Preserve text styling and layout by avoiding manual overrides that risk breaking auto-layout or typography settings. Localization Ready: Support global teams by generating sample text in the target language, improving internationalized design reviews. Workflow Efficiency: Minimize busywork—designers spend less time crafting dummy text and more time refining user experiences.Proposed UI & WorkflowIn the Properties panel, a collapsible “AI Sample Text” section beneath T

99% of the time I use the action button to search for assets in UI3 because I’ve gotten so used to doing this by selecting “Resources” button in the toolbar. In Resources tab I was able to:Open Resources → Type in the name of an Asset (1st asset was highlighted) → Click Enter I’d love to be able to have the same flow through the ‘Actions’ button. Because currently the search suggestions are pretty much useless most of the time. I now need to:Open Actions → Type in a name of an asset → click Assets tab → drag and drop the asset or double click to move it to canvas. I mean at least make it so that the first option would be “button” in assets and make it highlighted by default so I can click enter to go to assets tab and then select an asset from there:  

I find it really strange you have to deselect any items to click the ‘local variables’ button. It should be available in the UI to be clicked no matter what else you have selected.  Side note: the window is very hard to use when working on the canvas and I constantly have to move it around all over the place just to use it, but I’m sure you’ve received a lot of feedback on this already given how poor it is. 

I haven't received Figma AI version so please give me this version because number of times i am facing number of issue so i want to Figma AI version   

Hi Figma Team and Community,Thoughts on the following:There is currently a helpful feature which allows users to change colours on a page. But sometimes, I’ve got multiple different designs on the page, so tons of swatches in the swatches panel.As you can see on the screenshot, the only option is to see all the colours “on this page” but I’d like to be more specific and see only the colours on a single / multiple selected frames.   

Hi Figma Team,I’d like to request a new feature that would allow users to copy a Frame and paste it as an instance without converting it into a component.This would be particularly useful when creating flow diagrams, where I need to showcase screen frames dynamically. Currently, I have to make each frame a component, which isn't always ideal. Instead, it would be great if we could:Copy a frame and paste it anywhere as a linked instance. Ensure that any updates made to the original (master) frame are automatically reflected in all its instances. Avoid the need to create unnecessary components just to maintain consistency in flow diagrams.This feature would significantly improve workflow efficiency when documenting user journeys and processes.Would love to know if this is something that could be considered for future updates!Thanks,Sohail

Why are notes only shown on the right, aligned to the top? The Presenter view should offer more customization options like Keynote where the notes can be placed under the current and next slide for example. Showing a timer is also useful.

As a freelancer and designer at a agency, I oftenly switch between accounts. Figma recently already shipped the account switch onto the desktop app and native clients. However, unfortunately not for the Figma Mirror App.Therefore, I would kindly recommend to add this feature to the mirror app as well!

How often do you are using Figma while browsing the web for ideas and want to get some colour in Figma? Or have reference software open and you want to just use the same colour? Eyedropper could just let you do it but unfortunately, it is limited to the Figma window currently, meaning you need to get a screengrab or copy the image, paste it to Figma and then pick the colour. Photoshop have this and it’s one of the first things I noticed missing from Figma.Photoshop Training Channel – 6 Feb 17

I would like to be able to drag and drop the export preview and move the dragged asset directly to my Downloads folder in the dock (macOS) or my knowledge base tool. It’s easier than open the dialog, choosing the destination, reusing the image from that destination.

I would love the ability to expand the “Review Updates” modal into a full-screen view so that I can more effectively check library updates in detail to understand all of the changes that will apply and more easily compare current-vs-updated for each component instance

There’s a need from our engineer partners to maintain versioning of components within Figma. Right now, this process is SUPER manual. The Designer has to maintain a version number within the description box, for reference. And when making changes, we then have to update the description version number, and then secondly add that same version number to the dev ready notes so they can see it in the Ready For dev section (which is also hidden when opening dev ready under “Compare Changes”). It would be amazing if there was just an automatic number 1.0.0 applied to the component when marked ready for dev in a library. And then it could be a button for the designer to determine which type of change they are making and just add the patch number and maintain that so dev can see that and the history of that change. 

Hope I can change the annotation’s position: left, right, top , down

Can we add an ability to more easily filter or scan a list of users in the share/access panel? It would be really nice to bubble up who is an editor vs viewer, who is external vs internal. :) Thanks!

It would be great to set Variable/property to a value like height. This would help us change all the values in our components at the same time. Imagine you have a list component, that includes 5 titles with the same height and width that are valued by variable, if you could add variable/property to their height, you no longer need to create their different sizes, you could control their size by property.

It would be great if the Layer and Properties Panels were adjustable because they get in the way of me seeing the artboard/screens that I am working on. Another thing is that when I close these panels, I can no longer see the comments that include feedback or edits that need to be made on my screens. Because of this, in one view I can see the comments and everything, but can barely get to the screens on the artboard to do anything about it and on the other, I can see the full artboard, but not the comments. Both options are frustrating, especially since I’m just trying to make some edits. Therefore, I suggest making the Layer and Properties Panels adjustable so that they don’t get in the way and allowing the comments to be visible even when the panels are collapsed. 

In Figma slides when you click on a group of slides it's not clear which slides are in the group. Attached is my solution. So the darker blue with the blue text and icon is the slide the user is on right now. But the slides in the lighter blue with grey numbers are slides in the group but show the user is not currently selected on those slides.
