For those that don’t use keyboard shortcuts, adding “Show/Hide annotations” to the context menu would be invaluable. 

### BackgroundCurrently, the tool only supports English interface/documentation.  Many Chinese developers are using it and would benefit from a localized version.目前该工具仅支持英文界面或文档。  许多中文用户在使用时会遇到理解障碍，希望能有中文版本或多语言支持。### Suggestion- Provide i18n (internationalization) support.- Allow community translation (e.g., via Crowdin or Weblate).- At least support Chinese documentation.建议：- 提供 i18n 国际化机制；- 支持社区翻译（如 Crowdin/Weblate）；- 或先支持中文文档版本。### Additional infoI’m willing to help translate if needed.  如有需要，我愿意协助中文翻译工作。 

It would be useful to see the email address of the user in the "Share this file" pop up as it is hard to recognise them by the name they enter or some times the same name for different users is displayed. I am never too sure of which user to want to edit access of or remove. 

I often paste screenshots into Figma – for documentation, comparisons, or quick visual discussions. But every time an image is pasted from the clipboard, Figma automatically compresses and scales it down.This makes text in the pasted image blurry and unreadable, which basically makes screenshots useless when trying to show interface details or discuss content. It also creates unnecessary friction in the workflow, since the only way to keep full quality is to save the image locally and use Place image…, which breaks the creative flow.I see requests for this feature that are several years old – time to fix it!

Currently, in order to check if a variable value is set correctly, you need to apply it to a text or field. It would be great to have a way to debug/inspect a variable in runtime, especially for those that are not displayed on screen.

Let’s say I… Create a variable for a background color Apply it to element Delete the variable Recreate the same variable with different background color The element now has a broken variable link, though it retains the original variable name. Is there a way to relink it to the new variable since the name is identical? I’d like to do this across a file without having to manually relink every variable and none of these options seems to do what I want.

Inside Figma make, it would be nice to be able to have the AI reference more than one library. We have atomic, molecular, and then our tokens in different libraries. Being able to just select more would be beneficial. It would also be nice to be able to select a variable mode for the AI to also use when referencing and building the experience. 

Figma makeにGithubのリポジトリを連携しています。このリポジトリに行った変更を、Figma makeに取り込みたいのですが、今の所、Figma makeからGithubリポジトリへのプッシュしかできず、双方向で同期できたらいいなと思っています。 Figma makeさんがGithubのプルに対応してもらえるのが最高なのですが、それまでの間は、どのように同期するのが良いでしょうか。今のところ、変更をFigma makeに直接コピペすることで対応しています。

Sometimes I work on a design and I get comment from my team. Then I may answer a comment or partially resolve it but don’t wanna resolve it fully yet. But then I click on it again and again because I don’t know which comment I have read so far. Maybe you could add a state for partially resolved or opened comments. Like turn them green or something.,

the ability to expose color variables (and other variable types) as component properties, similar to how text variables can be exposed today.Right now, designers have to manually switch modes from the Variables panel, which is less intuitive than using component properties. Being able to expose color variables directly would make components easier to use, reduce variant overload, and better support variable-driven systems.

Hi Figma team,It would be great if we could see which team members are currently active in the workspace level — for example, a small list or sidebar showing online collaborators with their profile avatars as you already have inside the files with Spotlight.By clicking on a teammate’s avatar, we could jump directly to the file they’re currently working on. This would make collaboration smoother, help teams quickly locate each other, and reduce time spent searching through shared projects.This will help us to collaborate better specially during design reviews.Thanks for considering this improvement!— Margarida

About the behavior when drag-and-dropping multiple images from a file browser onto a FigJam board. I often use FigJam for raw data analysis in my work. Specifically, I line up a wide variety of visualizations, add markers, and inspect them visually to analyze the data; FigJam’s features are a perfect match for this workflow, and there’s virtually no alternative solution. When I paste a lot of images onto a FigJam board at once, they’re arranged in a default kinda “automatically tiled” layout. It can even consider size of each image and arrange them into the most ”compact” form automatically, how smart it is.current default behavior For my use case, it would be very helpful to have modes that place them “in a single horizontal row” or “in a single vertical column,” which would greatly reduce the time I spend manually rearranging them afterward. Because I often paste quite a few images at once, working only in the current “tile mode” means that I need to repeatedly scrolling up and down

The Problem: Collaborating with stakeholders often requires many content updates & iterations (text, image, etc). I think most content writers/stakeholders could easily make these updates but would require editor access, giving them unneeded (& often unwanted) edit permissions. Suggested Solution: Provide a Content Editor role in Figma that allows a user to: Update text layers Update image fills Anything else? Additional features could include: Editor can lock/unlock editability of content per layer Ability to suggest/accept changes (similar to google docs?) Assign content to users for editing? Any other ideas on how this role could work?

It would be great if you could see a colour variables hex code when assigning a variable to an elements fill / stroke.

I’m really big on shortcuts and makes my workflow much quicker. Please add a shortcut for copying an SVG to clipboard. No plugins or anyhting, just a shortcut. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m on Windows, but even something like “ ctrl + alt + shift + G (tilde)” would suffice.

Was told by a Figma rep that there are only 200+ requests for Figma to export as webP - and they didn’t sound positive that it would be integrated. So, I want to rally the community to push for this feature. There are already paid plugins out there that do this, so there must be a need. Show your support and let’s push the incredible team at Figma to incorporate it!

Here is a small UX issue that I’ve discovered while working through branches with my team.I think the following changes would make a huge difference to “quality of life” and “ease of use”:Change the Page Title (at least the listed title within social share embeds) to prepend the file name in front of the branch name (ie: “Figma File / Branch One”) Index branch names within the Figma “Search for Files” text search (cmd+t) feature so that branches can be located using the Figma file search feature. 

By default, the HEX colors show as all uppercase like #FFFFFF but it would be nice if in the settings we could choose to show them as lowercase like #ffffff. An ability to choose this would be great!

Hug & fill shortcuts are really nice, but i dont want to have to keep reaching over to the right hand side panel every time i want to quickly change my autolayout from vertical to horizontal. I think a lot of people feel this too! If it already exists please let me know i will give you chocolate cake frs

Hi all, I’ll try to keep it short and simple — I couldn’t find anything that directly addressed this issue, but in my opinion the way masks work in Figma is not optimal. Full disclosure, I come from a very comfortable with Adobe Illustrator angle (which essentially established the standard way to apply masks as far as I’m aware, and with good reason). The problem with needing the mask object under the object that is being masked, is that the mask object will invariably be smaller than the target object, and therefore this makes it extremely fussy to both select the correct items for masking and editing the mask layer itself. Once a mask is applied, to edit the vector points of the mask, the only way I can see is to find the mask layer in the layers panel and hit enter or the “edit object” button in the toolbar. This is a serious workflow killer when considering you could just double click into the mask object had it been on the layer above. That’s it! Please consider changing the mask

When using the CMD K, I would love to be able to type a figma file name and quickly open it 

Hi Folks,I’d like to propose a feature that would improve navigation within large design files.Often, while working on a complex Figma file, I need to quickly return to a previous view or jump forward again without manually scrolling through the canvas. It would be helpful to have a dedicated option similar to a browser’s back/forward button, that allows seamless switching between recently viewed areas of the file.This would save time and enhance workflow efficiency, especially when handling files with extensive UI screens.What are your thoughts?

I'd like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve collaboration in Figma.Currently, when I return to a Figma file after some time, it can be challenging to quickly identify what changes the team has made since my last session. Scrolling through the entire file to find recent updates is time-consuming.It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature that visually highlights all new modifications made by team members since I was last active in the file. This would allow us to catch up on progress instantly and streamline our collaborative workflow.What are your thoughts on this?

Problem As a designer exporting assets for web development it’s frustrating having to either export with no control over the file size and reduce later in photoshop, or pay for an image compressing plugin that is helpful, but exports as zip files so the file management gets messy quick. Solution Have more expansive export settings e.g. slider for image quality and file size calculated in real time with slider - similar to photoshop. Might just be me but I sorely need this functionality, especially during the rapid part of a project which is the design to developer hand over. Does anyone else have this problem? 🙂
