It would be great to be able to merge two variables into one, so anywhere where either variable is referenced, the references will now point to the single, merged variable.

When I write create long paragraphs with text tool on the Figma I get the unnecessary spaces on edges of the paragraph like below. But I think if there a hyphenation feature (like Adobe Photoshop) it could add dashes automatically on the texts and fix this issue.

I've been using the Figma MCP server with Claude Code to build a design-to-code workflow, and I've hit what feels like a significant gap in the `generate_figma_design` (html-to-design) capture tool. I'd love to see this addressed and wanted to share the use case in detail. The current behaviorWhen generate_figma_design captures a rendered web page, it converts everything to raw Figma geometry — frames, rectangles, and text nodes. Even if the page is built entirely from your published design system components (Button, Tag, Checkbox, etc.), and even if those components have Code Connect mappings configured, the capture output has no awareness of them. You get a pixel-faithful snapshot, but it's "dead" — no component instances, no variable bindings, no variant properties. The gap this createsCode Connect already establishes a bidirectional relationship between Figma components and code componen

Request: More access through the Figma MCP when inspecting the node in `dev` mode.Reason: I’d assume (correct me if wrong) this would decrease token usage because of the extra coding data (e.g., setting css styles to `Android`) that Figma already has available.Open to being corrected by the Figma team!

Problem As a front-end programmer I don’t quite grasp the current concept of so called “Local Variables”. For starters, they’re not local, but global. And the thing with global vars is - they make a big mess, like always. For this reason any programming language considers global vars an anti-pattern. But currently, the only way to make a Figma component “stateful” is to keep its “state” in the global namespace. I use quotes for a reason: there is no real state at all, because in Figma there is no an entity like “state of a component”. This all makes flows unmaintainable and prevents us from transferring components between files and projects, because they get transferred without their “state”. So basically you can’t easily reuse components logic. It also doesn’t provide any level of isolation. For example, if I have more than one instance of the same component, how would I distinguish their variables/state

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?

Mural’s tables auto adjust based on items within a cell. If you add another sticky note, the cell expands to accommodate the new sticky. Not having this in Figjam is killing me. 

It would be a big time saver to preserve the style and formatting of a text layer, when copying and pasting it from one file to another file. Right now the paste operation loses all formatting and I have to re-format the text all over again.

I browse various files in my org very often, and sometimes I’m in dev mode. This automatically subscribes me to notifications which is not what I want.I’d like to be able to set default preferences globally (like “subscribe by default: on/off”), similarly to how another topic states (which to my disappointment didn’t get any replies and was closed for some reason).Or at least the feature to ask me each time to confirm if I want to be subscribed, which obviously would be irritating, but not as irritating as receiving all those notifications and having to open the file to unsubscribe.Or at the very least, to be able to unsubscribe without having to open the file, either from emails or from desktop notifications.

Hi all,First of all, the new Slots feature is truly awesome, I can’t wait to see how in depth we’re going to rework the components of our design system with it. I’d like to suggest a small improvement regarding their visibility. When a slot has no fill or background, it’s basically invisible on the canvas unless you hover over it. This makes it harder to understand the structure of a component at a glance, especially for our designers who are going to consume the components we provide.It would be really helpful if slots could have a dashed outline, similar to the dotted boundary used for variant groups in component sets, so empty slots remain visible without adding a background.I tried looking through the settings to see if this was already an option. If it exists and I simply missed it, my bad. But if not, having something like a default or optional slot outline could make components much easier to read and work with.

When working with multiple shapes, you currently cannot edit the anchor points of multiple shapes at once whether they are unionized or not. At my studio, we are working on incredibly complex UI for vehicles, and products, and this feature would be much appreciated, and would greatly increase the speed of our workflow.

 Hi Figma Team,I’d like to suggest a feature improvement around managing shared design system files.Problem:In our team, multiple designers have edit access to the design system file. This sometimes leads to accidental or unintended changes, and it becomes difficult to track or control who modified key components. Even with version history, identifying and managing these changes is time-consuming.Suggestion:It would be helpful to have an option to “lock” a file (or specific pages/components) to prevent editing by default.Some possible approaches: Ability to lock a file so only selected users can edit Restrict editing of specific components/pages within a file Optional approval flow when someone tries to make changes Temporary unlock option for maintainers Why this helps:This will ensure better co

I would love edit multiple images at the same time and not have to wait till one is done! Very time consuming to have to wait when you have to do 6 or 10.

Searched and didn’t see any mention of this. If you have a file with a blue background that you wanna send to someone to test it can be rough. Custom colors would be cool, but at least being able to pick from like 2-4 would suffice. Thanks!

I use several whiteboards with my students.  We always use the marker option.  The marker option has thin and thick for the stroke mark.  For some students the thin/thick option are think on others it is thin. Looking at the pictures below, how can I get all of my boards to allows for the board 2 marker strokes.  I need thinner options. the screenshots from the different boards prove this is possible.

Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%).

Simple one - slots should keep their pink color even when not selecting or dragging. 

Web performance is no longer optional, it’s a core part of the user experience. Yet today, 2026, exporting assets from Figma still requires external tools or manual workflows when teams want to use modern formats like WebP.Adding WebP as a native export option in the export panel would solve a very real and widespread problem:Smaller file sizes without sacrificing quality Faster load times for websites and apps Better alignment with modern frontend standards and performance budgets Reduced reliance on third-party tools or batch conversion scripts (love your plugins folks, but let’s be realistic, it should be a core feature)Right now, the gap between design and production increases unnecessarily because designers can’t export assets in the formats the modern world actually uses. This creates friction, slows down workflows, and introduces inconsistencies (e.i. WordPress native

I do not want my file to be copied. I just want the file that I share to export that can then also be exported. I need more option

I’ve just seen that I can’t get back to the instance I was just working on by clicking on the “Return to Instance” button.

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up. It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

In Figjam - When adding a new node from an existing one, Holding down SHIFT (or any reasonable hotkey) should reverse the arrow to point in to the current node.This will reduce/ eliminate the work to reverse the arrows while making diagrams.  

Hi,We have thousands of icons as components in our library that should not be linked via Code Connect.It would be great to have a way to multi-select them and apply a batch action, such as “Skip connection”.At the moment, I would need to click on each icon, select “Skip connection” on the next screen, then go back to the list… Something like this, used in combination with filtering by name would be great!Thanks
