It is possible to lock frames, only to have everything in it locked… Any way to lock just the frame in place but not the content? So I can interact with the content without having to worry about constantly selecting the frame, moving it around etc…?

I want make some element in frame just creating it in place where i want to see it, and during work i also use AL, and i always have to make element somewhere, because of AL and than add it to place where it have to be, and after it compare sizing and other visiuals elements Let me make element that already have absolute position by some shortcut, to quick add layer to layout without problems with override AL settings

Unsure if any additional context is needed but would be a lovely feature 

Example:My color picker component is created from an instance of my input component.I would like to block certain properties of the instance for its use in the color picker."

I don’t know where Figma’s server is but def. not in my country. So it is slow sometimes and can’t even open a file sometimes. So why not add a proxy setting so that we can speed things up if we need?

I would like to be able to have two actions happen on hover. E.g. a button component with a hover state, accompanied by a tooltip - also on hoverstate. On click a third action happens.

I'm currently working on a multi-brand product (EHR dashboard) using Figma Pro. I maintain a shared design system for efficiency and consistency, and I use this design system across multiple design files within a project.For each brand, I need to: Create a new project Duplicate both the design system file and the product design file Customize the design system with unique logos, colors, and typography per brand The problem is:When I duplicate the files for Brand 2 and move them to the new project, the duplicated design file still links back to Brand 1's design system instead of the duplicated one. Even if I duplicate the design system file separately, the link doesn’t reset — which means changes made to the design system (like updating Brand 2’s colors) affect Brand 1 as well.Currently, Figma doesn’t support project-level duplication, which could have helped preserve the file links and created is

I often use Miro to gather design inspiration. I take screenshots of stuff that I like and paste it in. And now I want to use FigJam for that, but the quality of the pasted images are too low. The pasted image is too pixelated (in Miro the image is super crisp).

Hi,As a half a decade long user of Figma, I always struggle to back track my design decisions during working on multiple projects or even during development hand-offs or knowledge transfers to other design peers. It’s crucial for designers because there could be multiple reasons that could have influenced why we chose a particular design/element/component in our designs. I tend to write text notes below my figma screens which is sometimes lost when moving things around and also the developers / PMs don’t tend to notice the message below the screen during implementation.I wish there was an easier way to add a note to each design element or a group of elements together and tag it as Dev note, PM note, etc so that my respective stakeholders can see those notes in the screen while reviewing (not like a comment but something that’s more intentional and doesn’t get lost/unseen). It would also help me to remember to write notes / questions while designing to clarify or a

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

I often create small graphics in Figma for my company’s communications and website. We use a lot of custom drop shadows and glows and it would be much more efficient if I was able to just copy and paste the settings of the drop shadow on one element to another. Or at least the ability to save a custom drop shadow in your library similar to how you can with gradients. This would be a huge timesaver, thanks!

Hello,I need the ability to the hex code on my color variables when I am applying them to my components. I’m using Material Color Tokens for naming so it is not obvious what the color is based on the name.

It would be great to have quick-access aspect ratio presets (like 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) when working with the rectangle or frame tools in Figma.How it works:While designing a website or app, I often use image ratios like 3:2, 1:1, or 19:9. If my image has a width of 1024 px, it would be great to just pick a ratio like 3:2 from a dropdown, and Figma sets the right height automatically — no need to calculate it myself.Example interaction:Select a rectangle with 296 × 170 px → choose 3:2 → Figma adjusts it to 2

i u’d love to see Figma provide a way for companies or organizations to officially submit and add their own shape kits, icons, or templates directly into the FigJam “More Shapes” sidebar—alongside AWS, Google Cloud, and similar resources. This would allow teams to streamline diagramming with organization-specific diagrams available instantly. At present, only core libraries curated by Figma are available there, so extra shapes need to be imported as templates or community files. Can Figma build a model or submission process for partners or trusted orgs to add resources to the sidebar natively? This would hugely benefit larger teams and anyone diagramming with standards unique to their work.

TLDR - Variables in editor should indicate they are stored in an external file. When using Variables in conditional statements or setVariable the UI elements don’t completely nor clearly display the context of the variable, such as which file its being referenced from, or its full path. Basically, it looks like you shorten the full path of the variable. As such when using variables that are deeply nested in the Collection, it becomes impossible to see that. This creates an issue if you use the same variable name within nested groups in a collection. For example `/Collection/Group-1/Count` becomes `Count`. As such, if you have `/Collection/Group-2/count` it becomes impossible to know which Count variale you are using. THis forces you to name variable count_1, count_2 etc. Also, If i make the mistake of creating a copying a component from one figma file with variables to another figma file, (without the variables). Then the component

I’m currently dealing wiht complex bar charts and tables. Every once in a whiche, I need to re-order 20+ rows, columns, bar charts etc. There’s no shortcut or function to simply flip order. This would be a huge QoL improvement. 

Hi, I've noticed that Figma's AI chat doesn't allow new conversations, and I understand LLMs have context limits.Does Figma's LLM consider all historical project context?It would be helpful to have multiple chat windows for building different components, as the current single-component process is slow. ThanksJag

I feel like i’ve been transported back in time 25 years to when flash first introduced programming elements. Its exactly like you have Set Variable right now. A fixed building blocks afair of dropdowns and structured UI elements to implement if and else blocks. It was horrible 25 years ago and really horrible still. Please allow developers to write code as text. We’re not babies, we’re quite capable of spelling and programming basic if else statements.

Hi all, A lot of the time when I’m presenting designs, I will either put together a static slide deck with annotations, or I will walk through the interactive prototype in Figma. One downside with using the interactive prototype is that it’s not possible to annotate designs, in order to show notes and give people a better understanding of what I’m presenting. I understand that comments can be added, and ideally I would talk through the design myself, but having annotations that are constantly visible would be a great help. I noticed Adobe XD has this, as it displays a panel on the right hand side with all notes. Figma has this feature in Design mode, but when in Prototype mode, these comments can only be viewed one at a time. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any plugins or workarounds that people have used to get around this? Thanks in advance!

The components in the assets tab are currently organized in folders by file > page > frame/section. You can have an even deeper hierarchy if you name your components with one or multiple slash separators like Buttons/Toggle Button. This, however, bloats the component names so I would like to have the possibility to create deep hierarchies by nesting frames. As of now, only the top-level frame on a page is considered when grouping components in the assets tab and frames inside of frames are ignored. The same goes for sections inside sections and frames inside sections.If this would result in unwanted asset organization because the frames are used for layouting purposes, a compromise could be to allow this only for sections inside sections.

I created a component 1 (main component), and copy paste it as component 2. I want to modify the component 2 a bit, for example the layout of textbox. I’ll have to detach component 2 from component 1 (main component). Can I re-attach component 2 to component 1 (main component) after I detach it?Or is there any other way to modify component layout?

It would be great if we could create a slice and set that as the thumbnail. This would allow us to select a relevant and/or nice looking crop of anything on the canvas to serve as the thumbnail image. 

I have layouts where “hug” on sections works fine. There was a way to do this by converting the autolayout to a section but now it doesn't work.  Please provide the ability to set the "hug" parameter in section sizes.

I'm using Rewrite to organize my meeting notes.Instead of rewriting the content, I tried to ask it to highlight keywords by bolding them.Apparently it works in terms of identifying key words, but it’s in markdown method using double asterisks, instead of truly bold my texts.Anyone find a way to truly format texts using Rewrite? Curious will it be possible in future?
