Suggest a Feature

Could only find a close topic so reopening it. Currently it is not possible to hide components used within components, that will be applied in final use. My clients frequently would use the base components which I would like to disallow them to do. I’m aware of the hide syntax in the naming system, but if i do so, my components will break, because Figma does not recognized hidden components as being published.

I’m trying to understand if there’s any way to limit how many features are available to users on FigJam. I understand how to lock things onto the board, but is there any way to stop users from utilizing the many options? I’m an educator trying to see if it’s a tool that can work for me. My two classes where I’ve tried it have been chaos. Kids are either really distracted by the sheer volume of stuff available to them or they’re overwhelmed by the sensory input of way too much stuff. It’s like holding class in a carnival. I’d love to be able to pick and choose which things they can do. They don’t really need stickers. And stamps. And reactions. And to play music. And to make random polls pop up. And so forth. I might use those things all sometimes, but I’d love to limit the menu of what they can do.

When using FigJam to create UML diagrams, I’m often adding “Yes” or “No” labels to the arrows coming off of the decision diamond shapes. For ease of reading, I move these labels off their default positioning at the connector midpoint to a location on the connector near its origin where attached to the decision diamond shape. The issue is that this appears to be anchoring this text to the connector at a point relative to the length of the connector. If the connector is moved, extended or shortened, the text label also shifts and sometimes this shift is dramatic when the connector is lengthened to another part of the diagram.Connector labels positioned close to decision shape when connectors are short  

I have a Color Style applied as a Fill on an object. If I want to temporarily toggle that fill, my only option is to ‘Detach Style’ or remove the style entirely. Then I’d have to scroll through my list of styles and find which one was applied to add it again. Inst

I use 96DPI as default to create a window-based app. Figma is based on 72DPI, so the size looks broken when I upload the image.DPI conversion is desperately needed.

Please update the Instagram post frame prototype size to reflect Instagram’s new (stupid) size in the prototype frame toolbar. In the meantime, I have created a component frame with a built-in grid set up to account for the size change from grid view to click view, I’d just rather it be one convenient click and be correct in the prototype toolbar. 

Figmaの左のレイヤーを選択中の色を変更したいのですが、何か方法はありますでしょうか？

A small issue, but would love a quick way to reset my frame naming conventions back from 1, or if i bring a frame from another file and it’s frame 300 for example, it comes into my project and resets it to the numbering of my file. Somehow we’ve managed to get to frame 1293033 and it drives me up the wall that it just keeps getting higher and higher. 

For some interactions, I need a component that can nest an instance of their own component so that a part of the interaction can be repeated multiple times recursively. This request also relates to this post: How to make recursive nested components? As an example, prototyping a text field that creates a new textfield below the one you type. Currently, I am faking it by creating one component that has all the states of the textfield. Then, I have multiple components that essentially have an instance of the empty textfield and the next state of the textfield including a new empty one. The new empty one is though a component of the next instance and so on. This bypasses the recursion restriction but it does not scale (as it is limited by the amount of extra components) and is hard to maintain. If I want to make changes, I need to update many components.

The “other” slides (those not displaying to the audience) should be larger in the speaker mode. Using it for interviews, it becomes really difficult to see the content of the next slides – what question / slide is next, when a specific question / slide sits in the deck. 

Not sure why this was removed or moved, but my team and I can no longer link directly to a certain section within a page. There is also no longer a check box within the share settings allowing up to link to a section.

When you go to use a variable in the design panel, you are able to see both the variable name and its value in the current mode. As a design system manager, I also want to see the value of aliased variables in the variables interface — both when selecting the aliased variable and once the alias has already been assigned.

Problem: Currently, you can only have 1 plugin at a time. Having the ability to access multiple plugins like Unsplash, Content Reel, etc… would make it so much quicker when filling in dummy content or about a million other tasks. I would imagine the same type of system that Adobe integrates makes the most sense. This way you could expand/collapse plugins from the right sidebar by clicking on their icon. They could anchor like seen below.

An App for caregiving  

In our project, we are using around 300+ icons, and we fetch these icons through a component. The list of components is very long, so it is quite difficult to find the icon we want. It would be great if there was a search button here, and we could easily search for and select the icon by its name.Wouldn't it be great if there was a search field added here?   

I often need to record a video of my prototype being someone who works async. I know there are screensharing/recording platforms out there but it would be so amazing to be able to record my prototype and share a link that can just play in figma. 

👉🏽 Did you allready experience the frustration of typing out a comment, then needing to check the name of a frame or another detail outside the comment section, only to lose their entire comment? 😭 Ideas 💡 When a user begins typing a comment, the system should automatically save a draft of the comment at regular intervals (e.g., every 10 seconds). If the user navigates away from the comment section or the page, the draft should be preserved and restored when they return to the comment section. Provide a clear indication to the user that their comment is being saved as a draft (e.g., a small “Saving…” indicator). Include an option for the user to manually save a draft of their comment. Ensure that the draft is retained even if the user logs out and logs back in, or if they access the project from a different device. Thhis functionality will significantly improve user

I’d like to suggest a feature that would be turn Figma Libraries into version controlled files where the publisher can push updates to the community. The way it currently works is that the community downloads a copy of the library and then must publish it to their team in order for them to consume that library. Under this new model, libraries will always be tied to the original community publisher (say Google, or Apple, or anyone of us) and they can push updates to their libraries as they update them. Users are able to consume those changes or reject them and stay on an older version depending on the project needs.Essentially, Figma Community Libraries should work the same way Github works.

While “Open Overlay” offers granular control over animation styles, including starting position and transition, “Close Overlay” is limited to a dissolve effect. For example, an on-screen keyboard that slides up from the bottom of the screen with precise control over its starting position and animation looks natural. However, when closed, it abruptly disappears. I want the ability to define a smooth slide-down animation for the keyboard’s dismissal, matching the opening animation for a seamless interaction. I hope Figma will consider adding animation options to “Close Overlay” to provide designers with the same level of control for both opening and closing overlays.

I think it would be great having a widget/plugin to include Hubspot’s form within prototypes (as Framer does 😉).

How to change position of annotation. It would be better to show/hide annotations from context menu (right click, Same as hide/show comments)

If there is an option to duplicate the Text Styles / Color Styles folder then it makes it easy when creating design systems. Attached is a screenshot of the idea.

Add option for sharing a deck with show left panel with slide thumbnails for quick navigation. It’s impossible to quickly navigate and jump back-n-forth 20+ slides decks. There are tons of habitual and rational use cases for jumping between slides manually. 

Problem:While Figma’s Prototype mode is great for building realistic interactions, it quickly becomes visually overwhelming—especially for those who don’t use Figma in their day-to-day. This often leads to a deer-in-the-headlights situation, where communication breaks down both internally and externally.  Collaborating with teams outside our organization becomes especially challenging when trying to get them to understand the user interface from a high-level perspective. Solution:Our company has found the need for a deliverable that sits between static screens and a full prototype. It’s essentially a wireflow but with completed UI. Think of it like Prototype mode, but without the spaghetti mess.I’m calling this concept “Proto-to-Flow.” Figma would analyze your prototype and generate a simplified, flowchart-like view showing only the primary user path. Each screen would be numbered for easy

There are a number of ideas related to this, but none quite capture what I think would be an obvious workflow improvement: when selecting an object with gradients, it would save a lot of time and effort if the gradient colors appear in the ‘Selection Colors’ section on the right hand panel, and are editable. (Bonus points if those colors can use swatches/variables, as others have mentioned—it would give users the ability to do a global edit!)
