Text-style overrides like bold, underline, … won’t work on instances properly, now the instance must be rest for the bold overrides to come though. So a lot of screens needs to be rechecked and manual work is needed everywhere the instance is used. Any solutions for this?

For the first time in my life I write a post here. Today, during a demo of my monthly work in the presence of 30 colleagues, figma replaces UI2 with UI3. Thank you, I failed demo because I could not navigate in my own space! Well, that’s what I’ll accept and I will get out.But... I have burning deadlines, I have a release, but the guys from Figma decided that it’s not as important as changing the position of all tools, changing their icons, overloading the right menu with "beautiful UI"…Now instead of working, I have to retrain, you slowed my work several times. Will you pay me for this? Because my employer isn’t!I say this very rarely, because, in general, I am patient with people and their mistakes. Seriously, the dude who invented UI3 and made up his mind from this release, if you’re reading this, think about the meaning of your existence. It’s not normal, it’s beyond good and evil. Imagine that in your house, which you pay for, some man will break in, change the places of all the o

Our IT-team needs fast and high quality animated projects, which Figma does good, but unfortuinately there's not export-videoformat. In my opinion a lot of people would like to make such a function.Thanks in advance!

Hello. With all the updates to auto layout, it would be wonderful if when an engineer is reviewing the designs, they could actually resize a frame to see how the designer intended for the responsive breakpoints to work. Especially since CSS now supports container responsive in some browsers which is essentially how Figma works. Right now, the only option would be to copy and paste frames side by side of different sizes to show that interaction but it only gets you so far and letting the actual engineer modify that width to see the responsive intentions you baked into the design would be way more helpful and less “noise” on the screen for them to review.

Hi all! With the new update to Slides, the “timing” option is now missing from the “Slide Transition”. This was a core functionality for me as it allows me to use smart animate on various components in the slides for complex animations.For instance, if I want to move a group first to the left and then to the right, I would create separate slides with the “smart transition” and set the “timing” option to “after previous”.This would allow various transitions between slides to take place automatically without me having to click through them. For me, this is core functionality. Image below is an example of such an automated transition. In other words, could we get this feature back?

Greetings. I’m loving the Compare Changes tools in Dev Mode. In a scenario when I’m auditing working files vs official handoff files(of a given flow), the search results are numerous and difficult to parse manually; I really wish there were filtering capabilities, with categories like Text Edits, Color Changes, Spacing & Layout changes, etc. This would supercharge an already powerful tool, and allow me to drill into the specific kind of changes I’m searching for. 

Sometimes, additional context is needed on a prototype to guide the participant. If only some things are linked together, or you want the participant to imagine they are in a certain scenario, so they pick specific options. For example:I give the instruction “Imagine it is a hot sunny day...” The UI asks “What will you bring with you?” And the options are: Sunscreen Sunglasses Water bottle Umbrella Scarf Boots I’ve been doing this using a manual text object, but the drawback is that this is attached only to a single frame, and I’d need to duplicate this on subsequent frames.Alternatively, I sometimes include an instruction slide that comes before, but the user doesn’t always remember all the scenario or context.

It would be great to have a feature to show hotspots only after certain user behaviours, such as clicking on an area that is not a hotspot 5 or 6 times. This allows the user to explore and struggle a bit, so we can observe a bit and won’t have to intervene and provide explicit instructions, since the hotspots will be eventually revealed.

Hey guys, I am using digital whiteboards primarily to collaborate during design sessions. In order to create hierarchy during some of these sessions, I use secondary colors to group things together. For example: Primary sticky is yellow, secondary sticky is faded yellow My solution: For me having a faded version of each color would already solve my issue in FigJam Sidenote: Loving the tool, the emotes and stickers a great addition and I am hoping you guys will start building some smart in-app tools to create frameworks and tables like Miro, with the advantage of embedding these things in Figma. Well you get the drift, rock on 🤘

Please add it

It would be very useful to have the ability to embed interactive prototypes made in Figma into FigJam, the same way we can do it on websites. This would help when hosting review sessions and gather additional feedback, without having to send links all over the place.

Hello, It would be more than interesting to be able to create variable at a component scope. And of course instance to inherit those variables. Why ? it would be a good way to organize variables. One file can have a lot of different components and subcomponents = a lot of variables. it would give us the possibility to ease prototype creation by preparing upfront variables in components library. it is a good way to get rid of variants. I mean variants are nice but variables are far better :). it would give the possibility to create different set of variables corresponding to different state of the components faster.

FigJam seeems to only have these shortcuts: But these are a defined size, what if you want to increase or decrease to the size you want? Like maybe option + Command + > Miro has this, most other apps that have text input also have this (notepad, google sheets, etc…).

Does anyone know of a way to get hanging indents within one block of plain text? So that when a line of text goes beyond the right margin, it’s indented below rather than starting on the left margin again? Kind of like what you’d find on a works cited page of a paper, or in a line of poetry that runs past the margin. And for clarity, I am not talking about lists, bulletpoints, etc. – I am referring to plain/paragraph text

Hello! I ran into a problem that I could not find in your help. There is a Status Annotation plugin, it is very well for work’s control. I make a design for a client, and he’s could control the process with this plugin. But he’s a manager, not a designer. The client usually acts as a viewer, not an editor. This is done so that he cannot spoil anything in the design. But the viewers doesn’t have access to the plugin. Plugins can only be used by editors. Could you make plugins available for viewers? It will be so usefull. Thanks

Would it be possible for the pdf format to come out like Word, i.e. that the text is legible and doesn't come out like an image. This would improve accessibility and mean that cover letters and CVs could be read by ATS recruitment software.

You can embed YT videos into Figma Slides, but appears to lack Vimeo support. Also, we can’t change the Embed settings (turning off suggested videos, etc.) Would love support for these!

The Pages toolbar, wherein you select which page is active, now has way too much space between pages. It’s plausible to click near a page, and get nowhere. In other words, the gutter spacing between rows is too large.

As demonstrated in the video, I am unable to use “select matching layer” within the same frame.

 It would be really helpful if there were a way to view the creation date of a new project when it's first created in Figma. 

We have a range of team members using Figma, but admin users typically don’t log in regularly or use it day-to-day. As a result, when someone requests edit access, there's often little oversight or context around what approving means for the business.One key issue is that granting edit access automatically assigns a paid editor seat — and this cost gets added to our invoice immediately. Unfortunately, not all team members are aware of this. It’s easy to click “approve” without realising the financial implications.From what I’ve read on this forum, there’s no logical solution to this yet except to request a refund. This is giving ‘dark pattern’ vibes.We have people on the team who should never have Figma access such as executives wanting to modify designs.Suggestions: Add a clear warning or confirmation step when approving edit access that explains a paid seat will be created and billed immediately. Introduce a process for reviewing edit access regularly to ensure seats are still requ

Why I need it.Our designers create full specifications for components in our design system libraries and use dev mode annotations for our front end dev’s. As a Figma library builder, I use those same specifications to create the actual components for our Figma libraries. I copy sections from the design spec file pages and paste them into a library page to use them to create the library components.The problem is the sections I copy into my component page are loaded with dev mode annotations that I have to delete (no, I don’t want to just turn the view off) and I have to do that one annotation at a time.Can you please add a Delete all annotations command? Obviously a warning would be appropriate, but it would save me some time.Thanks!Ben

Please add YAML to FigJam code blocks. Others languages are also welcome in addition to this.

When working with multiple shapes, you currently cannot edit the anchor points of multiple shapes at once whether they are unionized or not. At my studio, we are working on incredibly complex UI for vehicles, and products, and this feature would be much appreciated, and would greatly increase the speed of our workflow.

Hello, I would like to propose a new feature that will reduce the work of interface design by half or more, and Figma is already almost there.Currently we have to make different size versions (desktop, tablet and mobile) so that developers can view them. With the variables mode I can edit the screen sizes just by changing the global variable, but my developers do not have this button available. It would be wonderful for everyone if this were possible.
