Suggest a Feature

I still consider myself a newbie in Figma (this is a caveat), though I’ve had a chance to play around with it. My hope in using Figma is that it will make it easier and quicker for those collaborating with designers - mainly PMs, Devs, and QA, to find the designs they are looking for. Coming from Invision, it was a pretty bad experience (sorry Invision), and after checking out Figma and other potential solutions out there, I was sold on Figma (for many reasons), and pitched it to my client. Now we are going in. An important contextual aspect of this topic, is the fact that many, if not most doing software development these days, follow some flavor of agile development - so think epics, stories/tasks, and sprints, for example. So the challenge here is, how to best match up the agile development process, to how everything in the Figma design space is organized, so that designs are quick and easy to find, not just for the figma designers. I was hoping

For God’s sakes why isn’t Figma including this feature? It has been years ever since the community requested this.Use case: Clients keep bombarding comments and would simply like to finalize by deadline of their feedback phase. Isn’t enabling/disabling a basic feature nowadays? Or is there some kind of conspiracy or business ulterior motive behind this?Most of the time Figma keeps on adding a bunch of features but the basic ones - especially for design which is supposed to be the foundation - are not being implemented.

OverviewFigma Variables are already powerful for theming and responsive behavior - but Auto Layout settings remain static. Currently, we can’t change layout direction (horizontal/vertical), item sizing (hug/fill), or alignment (space-between, center, etc.) using variables.This limits the flexibility of truly responsive components - especially in systems using mode-based logic. Current LimitationRight now, Figma only supports number-based variables in Auto Layout settings (e.g., padding, gap, min/max width). But many key layout settings require string values, and they’re not variable-compatible yet: Direction: Horizontal / Vertical Justification: Space-between / Center / Start Sizing: Hug / Fill / Fixed

When marking a comment as resolved, we are now automatically moved to the next one. I’m wondering if or how we can disable this behaviour?My work flow being to go from screen to screen of user flows, and not comments to comments, this is very disrupting as it can bring me anywhere in the file, and I need to find and navigate back to where I was. I understand this might be useful for reviewers that only goes through questions left by other people, but this probably not most users, so it would be useful to have the ability to disable this feature.

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?

Hello, as the title states, I am curious if GHES support for Code Connect is coming or is this a hard limitation and we should never expect that service? Thanks!

Figma Make is the best prototyping tool I have seen so far (yes, better, or at least more time efficient, than V0 and Claude Code for now). It also has an integration with Github, which is suuuper cool. Now… it would be REALLY gamechanging, if the connection with Github was a two way sync. If edited code could be pulled back into Figma Make, for team collaboration across multiple platforms. I understand that this is really tricky, because Figma Make can't interpret all types of code… but I'm putting it out there… 

I would like to “protect” or “lock” specific pages within a file from receiving library updates - similarly to how I can hide components from being published, but applied on the receiving end. This would allow me to update all of the components in my file much quicker if only one or two pages were “protected”, rather than needing to go through each page individually and apply the updates. The types of protected pages would likely be from a demo or a prototype version that captures the evolution of the product’s design phase.

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

This feature can create a copy of design file with all the variables and components intact.To convert, user can may have following option to choose for smooth conversion:a primary screen size copy existing screen to figma site file or leave blank (variables and components intact) choose 1 page of design file to be converted (limitation for time being)(not applicable in case of blank) keep fimga Make components intact

Hi there,I always use Ctrl + Option + Command + K to jump directly to the main component and also to return to the instance, but returning only works if the main component is still selected.Why does Figma require the component to remain selected in order to return? It feels like it should remember where I came from, even after selecting or editing other layers or components in between.At least the floating button “return to instance” could always be visible.Right now, the navigation state is lost as soon as selection changes, which breaks the workflow when working with component systems.Please make the “return to instance” behavior persistent and independent from selection state — especially for users working heavily with large component systems.Button: Return to instance

Hello, I couldn’t find a feature in Figma where we can constrain trigger or hotspot bounds to a vector shape instead of a rectangular bounding box. The current version doesn’t support the design use cases similar to those below (eg: interactive pie charts) where transparent pixels are ignored in a non-rectangular shape because the hotspot bounding box is always rectangular. It would be nice to constrain the hotspot area to the desired shape instead of a rectangle. Please check the attached Figma file. Hotspot bounds.fig (7.0 MB)

Feature Request: Reset Bounding Box / Auto-Swap Dimensions on RotationOne workflow improvement that would greatly help designers transitioning from tools like Illustrator is better handling of rotated objects in the properties panel.Currently in Figma, when a rectangle or shape is rotated 90°, the Width and Height values in the right-side Layout panel continue to reflect the object’s original, unrotated dimensions rather than its visual orientation.For example:- A rectangle created at 628 × 56- Rotated -90°- Still displays as W: 628 / H: 56This can become confusing when working with:- gradients- auto layout- constraints- responsive components- production handoff- precise UI sizingAdobe Illustrator recently improved this behavior by automatically updating dimensions based on orientation, or allowing users to use “Reset Bounding Box” to redefine the transformed state.Suggested improvements:

Request: Through the Figma MCP, access contents of comments made in Figma Design file.Reason: Can provide context for designs, review bugs, etc.Current response from OpenAI Codex with direct link to comment:No, not the comment itself.What I can see from that link is the node it points to:file: XXXXXXnode: XXXXXXscreen: /sign-up-2 (iOS)That screen contains:nav title Sign UpEmail and Password inputsSign Up primary CTAContinue with AppleContinue with Googledivider OrAlready have an account? Sign inbottom legal linksBut I still cannot read the actual Figma comment thread or the #XXXXXX anchor content from this session.If you want, paste the comment text here and I can map it to this exact screen and tell you what change it implies. 

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

I'm excited for Bulk Create in Figma Buzz. It’s a lot more intuitive for our marketers to use, but at its current stage it’s actually more time consuming than our existing workflow, mainly because it doesn’t have the ability to bulk rename frames or the exported filenames. That means we still end up having to manually rename "Frame1.png" all the way to "Frame175.png".Here’s our use case: we need to create OpenGraph images for a website with over a hundred pages. We have two design templates: one with page title only, one with page title and a subhead.Currently, the marketing & web dev team maintain a spreadsheet of all the pages currently exist.We have the 2 designs set up as components and use a plugin called Scribe - Dynamic data in seconds to pull in the CSV and use a column we choose for naming the frames / files.I can see Bulk Create doing this as well, and even adding some common renaming & conditional naming option

Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

Is it possible to view a user’s drafts as an Enterprise admin or a Team admin?As an admin I really should be able to view all files that have been created, but it seems that user’s drafts are still private even after the update.

Hello Figma Team,I’ve been working a lot with Figma Make, and I really appreciate how smooth and intuitive it is. However, I’ve run into a challenge when copying a design.Currently, copying requires clicking the Copy Design button. This becomes difficult when I need to copy a hover state of a component, because moving my mouse to the button causes the hover state to disappear. As a result, I can't copy the hovered version unless I screenshot manually or work around it.A keyboard shortcut for copying would solve this problem perfectly. With a shortcut, I could keep my mouse on the component to maintain the hover state while triggering the copy action from the keyboard.This would greatly improve workflow and interaction design handling in Figma Make.Thanks for considering this!Looking forward to future updates.Kind regards,Aaron

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.

Concept idea for highlighting which components need to be publishedWhen I navigate through my Design System, it’s not immediately clear which components have pending changes that need to be published. Being able to identify them would allow me to select them and publish the changes without having to manually scan through them. It would also be helpful to identify which nested components need to be published as well.When you hover over a component nested within another, it indicates whether it has pending updatesThis other idea aims to display—either on hover or by default—which nested components have pending updates

Hello Figma Team, I’d like to suggest some improvements to Figma’s table workflow to make practical table editing much more efficient for real-world use cases. Currently, basic table layouts are possible, but there are still limitations when working with tables in professional design workflows. I believe the following improvements could greatly enhance usability: • Improved cell, row, and column editingIt would be helpful to have more intuitive controls for adding, deleting, duplicating, resizing, and merging cells, rows, and columns. • Better spreadsheet and external data integrationConnecting or importing data from Excel or Google Sheets more seamlessly into Figma tables would significantly improve workflow efficiency. • Bulk style editing for tablesApplying typography, padding, borders, background colors, and other styles across multiple cells at once would save a lot of production time.

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.

I’m building a design system and am calling out specific gradient use. I’m only allowed to rotate 90° increments. Please add the ability to manually enter degrees so I can save it to a style. This allows all my designers to not have to manually adjust gradient on text or other objects that I can’t save as a component.
