Categories to save comunity files

I think it would be awesome to have categories to organize saved community files, just like Pinterest, Instagram, etc. So it would be easier to find something I saved for later.

Batch Frame Selection for Individual Instances

Currently, in Figma, the "Frame Selection" feature allows users to wrap a selected layer or instance in a frame. However, there is no built-in functionality to apply this action to multiple selected instances such that each instance is framed individually. Instead, users need to frame each instance manually one by one, which can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when working with a large number of instances.Proposed Solution: Introduce a new option, "Frame Each Selection", that:Automatically wraps each selected instance (or layer) into its own separate frame. Maintains the hierarchy and positioning of the original instances within their new frames.This feature would improve efficiency by reducing repetitive actions and enhancing workflow productivity, especially for users dealing with batch processing or large-scale design projects.

Truncate text: BEGINNING or MIDDLE of text/url as well

Please add option to truncate text in the middle of the text, we use this for URLs so users can see the end of urls not just the beginning. But I always have to be very careful when I make the mocks in Figma to detach components and add 3 dots in the middle manually, and communicate that to devs in detail. If option is added in Figma then Devs can see it in properties of components, and in mock at the same time, without handoff overhead.

Close redirecting browser tabs

There is a great feature in Notion called “close redirecting browser tabs” This is a setting that, when toggled on, automatically closes a browser tab when a page open in the desktop app. It would be great if Figma had this feature as well. When I click on Figma links, I end up with lots of browser tabs like this, because the pages open in the Figma desktop app. I would love if these tabs auto-closed.

Mutually Exclusive Boolean Properties — Radio button boolean properties

Hi everyone,I often run into an issue when creating components: I want certain properties to be mutually exclusive.For example, inside a component (most of the time it’s a product card), I have Block A, Block B, and Block C, each controlled by a boolean toggle. If I want to switch from A to B, I have to manually turn B on and A off. This quickly becomes tedious, especially with multiple options.While variants are an alternative, they become impractical when dealing with many of this mutually exclusive choices, and they add too much complexity and file size.Conditional logic could also work for this but it is such a pain to do for this simple and recurent use case that I consider it as not a viable option for a day-to-day workflow. Feature Idea:It would be great to group boolean properties so only one can be active at a time—like a set of radio buttons instead of multiple independent toggles.Would this help your workflow too? What do you think?

Opinions on the slow release of Figma component library updates

When Figma publishes a component library for large files, the waiting time for publishing is particularly long, which can easily result in disconnection during the publishing process. I suggest optimizing the functionality of publishing component libraries for large files in Figma.

Button to Auto-Shrink Frame Height in Figma

If Auto Layout and constraints are not used, there should be a button that automatically adjusts the frame height from the bottom to the last design element when clicked. This would remove the need to do it manually for each frame.

Improve plugins catalog (not search)

Hello! I would like to suggest improving the plugins catalog in Community (not search). https://www.figma.com/community/design-tools?resource_type=plugins It is the filters that currently limit the search for interesting plugins. Because now only the top plugins are shown. It would be good to add: Sorting by date, trending, likes More accurate selection of subcategories (text, effects, ai … ) Show dynamic search near filters (Ajax) Review-rating system (need to add new feature) If the plugin is paid, then show the initial cost in the listing Maybe add “Add to favorites button” near button Open In… The first picture of the plugin as cover picture in catalog list The last date of the plugin update If you think it’ll enhance the catalog, please Vote. Thanks.

Changelog overlay after figma update and app restart

Hello Community/Figma,when I open my figma app and the software tells me to update and restart the app, I want to know what changes the update has brought. It's really a pain for me to find out what they've updated and I need to know if they've fixed anything. I already use the release notes via RSS integrated in my Slack but I always have to take this detour. I would also like to know more about bug fixes and small changes. The best user experience regarding changes and updates I've had so far has been with Blizzard games. Their changelog management has always worked best for me.- Changelog as overlay- What kind of update (major/minor/patch)- Category of changes such as bug fix/performance adjustment/new feature ...- A very short text about the improvement, if necessary with a link to get more information- In my personal settings I can switch on and off whether I receive an overlay or notThanks for participating and I hope I am not alone in this desire for shortcuts and more knowledge

Feature Suggestion: Click from variable alias to original variable

In the variables panel, when you see variables that use aliases, e.g Semantic Variables that use Primitives, it would be great if you could click on the alias variable and then be taken to the original of that variable. This would make it easier when navigating large, nested variable design systems.

I want to see the list of files and teams I have access as a user

Is there a way to see a list of files and teams I have access to? Sometimes, the wrong account gets added as an editor or viewer by accident (due to multiple account usage, personal and work) and only admins can fix that. Would be nice to have some control over this and be able to “leave” teams that I shouldn’t have joined. About a year ago my manager told me that my personal Figma account has editor rights in our company’s Figma account and we were about to pay an editor seat for it accidentally. I had no idea this happened and I have no control over it.

Comments hidden by default (as it used to be)

Continuing the discussion from Comments | Hiding the Figma UI (`⌘`+``) and showing it again shouldn't also control comments` visibility: It would be amazing having the old Figma appearance back. It’s annoying having to press Shift + C every single time I have to open Figma (I switch accounts constantly) and the comments are always there. Figma could ask “Would you like having the comments hidden the next time you open it?” or something that would allow me to save my customizations. Cheers and have a lovely and productive week. 👍

multiple Open overlay behaviors

when creating overlays you sometimes need to create multiple overlays for instance a drawer opens on the bottom (overlay 1 ) a confirmation popup ( overlay 2 ) when trying to prototype this you need to make the old overlay disapear and show the new one - that behavior doesn’t work properly.my suggestion is that any overlay has a close anyother overlay checkbox

PDF export options - crop marks and bleeds

tl;dr Adding options for crop marks and print bleed expands the usefulness of PDF exports and better leverages Figma for print design. Problem Figma is a fantastic design tool. So much so, designers are finding it capable beyond screen design and into the world of print. The PDF export option allows designers to easily produce posters, business cards, and other print-based documents that have been created via Figma. Although the PDF Export option is useful in many situations, it falls short in some areas that limit its ease of use for print designers. One way the PDF Export falls short is the absence of crop marks and print bleed. These elements are essential for designers wishing to use Figma to produce printed documents with elements cropped to the edge of the page. It is possible to work around these issues, but not without extra effort and knowledge of Figma and print beyond the basics. Solution Print production is a broad subject. To fully address print production would be to incl

Suggest a Feature - Section block mode (invisible with others working on Design file)

Hi Figma Team,  I would like to propose a new feature that allows users to lock specific sections within a Figma file to restrict visibility or editing access. This would be particularly useful for teams with multiple departments working on the same project, where certain sections may contain sensitive or confidential information.  The proposed functionality would include:  1. Section Locking: The ability to lock a specific section, preventing unauthorized users from viewing or editing its contents.  2. Access Control: Permissions settings to allow only designated team members or roles to access the locked section.  3. Toggle Visibility: An option to enable or disable the visibility of the locked section once the project is completed, ensuring flexibility for final reviews or presentations.  This feature would greatly enhance collaboration security and streamline workflows, especially in cross-departmental projects.  Thank you for considering this suggestion!  Best regards,  Ha Nguyen

Variable definition using operations on other variables

Currently I can only define a variable with some absolute value or referencing it to another variable but I would also like to define it using operations on other variables. for example Total Fee Amount = 100000 Paid Amount = 20000 then Unpaid Amount = Total Fee Amount - Paid Amount

Figma produce LLM-digestable Markdown for Fast Development

Since Figma has all of information regarding design and layouts. I like to reference @ Figma pages or components (in addition to  multiple references) so that I simply build it accordingly to the specifications within my Cursor. That way, the Claude LLM can produce the necessary code while adhering to the organization of my codebase.

Preserve overrides in instances swapped inside component

Hi folks! I’ve seen the posts regarding text overrides with nested interactive components but I’m seeing a similar issue with non-interactive components as well. In the example below, I’ve set my text layers to all use the same layer name and have the same hierarchy structure but if I swap one of the nested components it resets everything. Everything works perfectly if each atom component is used individually and not nested in another component though so I’m left 🤔. Any thoughts?

Bulk editing component properties / set

I have a big icon library where every icon is its own component set with 9 variants. I need to add the same properties on all component sets. Bulk editing multiple component sets at the same time would be a huge time saver.

Add style descriptions to inspect panel

Because Figma only supports pixels, and we often have to translate pixels into other units for Fonts, etc., it would be great to document these conversions in the style’s description and have it show in the inspect panel. The description field is already available for editing in the style settings, so adding its value to the inspect panel would make it much more useful.
