Dynamically loading files - Add a download for offline

off the back of my raised issue Dynamically loading files - bad for commuters! It would be great if we could have the option to download the whole file for offline use. Since dynamically loading files has launched, about 2 hours of my day is now very unproductive as I can’t use the files on my train commute. Wifi is intermittent and slow. I used to open all my files at home so I had access to them then I could use them on the train. Now I get loading spinners every time I change page in them. I personally don’t think DLF’s are a good update and feature. Bad for my example above, and when you are on strong Wifi it’s not solving a problem. Worst update Figma has made IMO

Insane UI choice to display community tab

Please fix this, the community tab should be displayed by default, and hidden through a view menu option, not an arbitrary profile menu button.

Respect Size Constraints in Auto Layout

On the dimensions of an object you can constrain the height and width so that if one changes the other proportionately does so. When these objects are in an auto layout, however, this constraint isn’t respected and the width and height won’t maintain the same aspect ratio. If the object is set to fill horizontally or fill vertically, it won’t scale properly. I’d like the constraint set on the layers panel to be respected when objects resize in an auto-layout.

Moving (selected) thin and small objects

As a product designer I want to move thin and small objects in Figma easily So that I can easily reposition dividers and the like On macOS, I’m zoomed out and trying to move the selected rectangle, but there is no where I can click to begin moving the rectangle without causing a resize. I propose that we enable moving the item by dragging the dimensions “tag” (see [1 × 900] in screenshot).

Possible to relink Figma variable

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.

Include a Font Stack system in Figma

The idea is to have a stack of fallback fonts like in CSS. This is VERY useful in Asian languages such as Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, where there are several fonts, but they lack good Latin and numeric characters. In those cases, we replace those characters with a nicer font. In CSS, it is only one line. How it works: If the stack is “Avenir, Noto Sans JP”. If the character is in the first font it will use that font, if it is not there, like a Chinese character, it will jump to the next font. In Figma, we need to search for and replace text. Of course, that doesn’t work with variables. Illustrator has a more complex tool called “Composite Font”, just in case you want to take a look. The Asian design community will be very grateful to have this feature.

Disable mouse cursor change on hotspots

I experienced this exact issue while performing a usability test the other day. The result was that the user was mindlessly hunting for where the cursor changed, rather than thinking about the UI. Currently under prototyping mode - when hovering over interactive components the curser instantly changes from arrow to hand. This creates major issues during usability tests since users are able to guess the “correct” answer just by identifying hotspots via curser change. It actually makes the “show hotspots on links” checkbox less useful as we still show the hotspots by curser change even if this is unchecked Original post: Disable mouse cursor change on hotspots

Find and remove places where a plugin has attached itself to a layer

Once upon a time, I was trying out the Gist plugin. As with many plugins, it can attach itself to layers in your document, as demonstrated here: Unfortunately, after years of copying and pasting in the design system library I’m working on, these empty references to a plugin I no longer use are scattered around random layers. How can I find these instances of this (or any) plugin, and remove them in bulk? Imagine being able to click that little “minus” button next to View documentation a few hundred times, without having to hunt each one down manually. 'm assuming a plugin (or snippet of code I turn into one) will be involved…

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.

Don't copy image fill

When copy and pasting styles such as rounded corners or drop shadow to an image, sometimes I just want to be able to copy a new image and keep the same style properties, but I can’t copy just the properties and not the image. I would love if the image fill weren’t a property that gets copied when you do command+shift+C. Thanks!

Enhanced Feedback Management through Comment Grouping in Figma

User Story: We want a feature in Figma that allows us to group comments by specific feedback sessions, So that we can manage, review, and address feedback more effectively and maintain a clear and organized workflow in our design projects. Feature Description: Group Creation: Users can create multiple ‘Feedback Groups’ within a Figma file. These groups are customizable and can be named according to the feedback session, topic, or any other relevant categorization. Assigning Comments to Groups: When adding a comment, users have the option to assign it to an existing Feedback Group via a dropdown menu in the comment interface. They can also move comments to different groups as needed. Viewing Grouped Comments: A new panel in the Figma interface allows users to view comments by group. Selecting a group will display all the comments associated with it, providing a focused view of feedback related to a specific session or topic. Group Management: Users can edit the name of the Feedb

Word spacing feature

There is no way to add spaces between words in typography section in Figma. There is a huge difference between letter spacing and word spacing in typography. However, we only have the ability to change the spacing of letters instead. There is even a CSS property called word-spacing. word spacing in CSS Letter spacing in CSS So can we have the simple word spacing feature added to Figma typography section

Option to search when selecting a variant in component set

Hi… So I tend to use my Icons in a component set. Now let’s say I have some 100 items in the component set. Wherever I use an instance of that component, I have to find the option manually, there should be an option to search in this long list. To add to the pain the names are not alphabetically arranged, is there a way to simplify this process? This is my component set And this is how I see it when I add an instance I’d like to have a search option when I’m choosing this instance.

The section has the description

Title: Section Note Feature What: I wish for a way to write notes or documents about a section without losing sticky notes. So What?: It helps me know the key ideas about each section without cluttering the title. I can reference details easily without making the title too long or unattractive. Now What?: Implement an icon or indicator to show that a description exists for the section. This allows for clear differentiation and easy access to additional notes.

Feature Request: User Groups

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this We need to control access to various areas of Figma, and Closed teams help, but it’s painful to have to add people individually. I would love the ability to group users into user groups (aha!) and bulk add them to teams with the correct permissions. Individual users could be added with more permissions, as a local override, but for the most part, we could just add these groups. This would help immensely with change management and onboarding, as well as maintaining access guardrails where appropriate. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Example: I want to add Designer X to our UXD user group. By default they gain edit access to all working teams. However, as part of that group, they’re only given view and library access to the Design System team. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or

Keyboard shortcut: Find and Replace

90% of the time when I use the Find feature it’s to do a find and replace. To save an extra click, a keyboard shortcut for it would be great (on top of the existing one for Find).

Handle "Context Overlay" separately by adding a Frame to Modes

Hi Figma Team and Community, TLDR: Similar to Dev Mode, have a Context Mode that we can load objects and elements into. I’m sure many of you have been dealing with chaos related to having a lot of elements on your Pages that are “Context” for other designers, PMs, or developers. For every element (frame, group, etc) that is an actual design there are probably 2 or 3 that are to give context on that design (i.e. what page are we on, what is the route, what data is being passed in, where does the Data come from, what forms submit to where, what user actions are possible, what is the goal, where does the user go next on the user journey. Not to mention arrows going everywhere, etc.) Designers have just been adding all kinds of objects/elements around their designs to give this Context. But it makes navigating a Page super messy and noisy. A slight hack to this I’ve found is to just load all of the Context elements into a frame called “Developer Context” and then hide it while designing.

Custom Sidebar Sections for all paid plans

Sidebar sections are crucial for our team. We recently downgraded from Organization to Professional and the sidebar sections were removed. I understand they are only for Organization and Enterprise plans, but I ask that you make them available to all paid plans, since there are many organizations with smaller teams who cannot afford Organization or Enterprise plans.

Conversations on Figma

I tried making an audio conversation on Figma today and it was terrific, but my problem was, when I wanted others to join, I couldn’t. I looked for a way to nudge the user or invite them but couldn’t. I suggest adding a ring icon (whatever you find suitable) next to the desired user to nudge when I want them to join the audio conversation without resorting to other software.

Component prototype actions goes to variants

Would be better if you do a prototype action for the main component and it goes to the variants, for example you set up the prototype actions for the main component or a sub-master component ad the main navigation and the prototype actions go to all matching variant layers so you can mass change your prototype navigation

Need an option to apply sharp corner on shapes

It will be very difficult to create this type of shape in Figma, and more problematic is that we can’t apply the auto layout to this type of shape. So for any of the small changes, we need to change it manually, which is a very time- and effort-consuming process. I suggest allowing for the option to change the space to round or sharp edges in shape radius options

Create a one-click team switcher

The new home sidebar update works well except now it takes two clicks to switch teams and the loading time switching teams has also increased. As a freelance designer this is something I do frequently, so this has added increased friction into my workflow. I would love if there was a way to have teams one-click away. The best implementation of this I can think of is in slack where switching between different workspaces is one simple click of the large icons on the left-hand side of the screen
