Hi Figma team,I’ve encountered an issue when trying to apply a linear gradient to a single word inside a text layer.When I highlight just one word and apply a gradient (via the fill panel), the gradient technically applies, but no gradient handles appear on the canvas. This makes it impossible to adjust the direction, angle, or position of the gradient for that specific word.Steps to reproduce: Create a text layer with multiple words. Highlight just one word. Apply a linear gradient via the Fill settings. Try to adjust the gradient. Expected behavior:Gradient handles (start and end points) should appear, just like they do when applying a gradient to an entire shape or full text layer. I should be able to control the direction of the gradient within the selected word.Actual behavior:No gradient nodes/handles appear when the gradient is applied to only a portion of the text. The gradient applies, but I have no way to control it visually.Please let me know if this is a known limitat

Question, if the cell contains the public URL to the image instead of a pasted image into the cell, does that not work?

I think Figma should have a feature that lets you update an entire list of typography used in a design system.It’s so tiring editing this one by one  

I’m always copy/pasting autolayout frames and when I do this far from the right-most autolayout frame, it jumps me all across the canvas and I have to drag my frame back to where I was working. On twitter you guys mentioned paste here only works with the mouse so we know where ‘here’ is to paste. If there was a shortcut at least to just paste it in the middle of the canvas that would be nice.

Like in the design tool, I will be interesting to have components in Figma Slides. That way, designers can create templates for the company and non designer have only one place to change the footer on all slides. If we can have the option to add pagination to the footer or anywhere it will be a big plus.

Often when prototyping tools/UIs with canvases, a few fundamental interactions are needed. Scroll up/down Scroll left/right Zoom in/out Unfortunately, that last zoom in/out one isn’t possible in Figma as far as I can tell. It would be really great to incorporate this type of interaction in the same place that frame scrolling can be specified. Prototyping use cases: UIs with Maps (tracking apps, location apps, travel apps, delivery apps, etc) UIs with creative canvases (illustrator, photoshop, Figma, sketch, etc) UIs for analysis tools (spatial biology analysis, general sample analysis, etc) UIs for brainstorming tools (Figjam, Miro, google whiteboard, etc) This feels like it would be relatively basic to add but what do I know about programing lol. Anyways, would be really awesome and add a new dimension of interactivity to canvas based tools.

Hey everyone! We've been using Figma’s Slack integration to keep our team in sync, and I’d like to suggest an improvement: having notifications sent to a public Slack channel when a frame or design is marked as Ready for dev — not just as personal alerts.Right now, the Slack integration only notifies us about comments and mentions. But when it comes to dev handoff, it’d be super useful to have those status updates posted in team channels to keep everyone (Product and Dev team) aligned in real time, adding visibility and transparency.

Hey everyone,I’m exploring ways to streamline customer service for my small business and have been researching different options. I’ve read that customer support automation tools can really help reduce response times, improve efficiency, and free up my team to focus on more complex issues. However, with so many platforms out there, it’s a bit overwhelming to know which ones are reliable and worth the investment.What customer support automation tools have you used, and what features do you find most valuable? Any recommendations or pitfalls I should be aware of before committing?

how can i expand this ??????????? too narrow!  or please expand this.  I feel frustrated every time I use that part. I think it should be at least twice as wide.​​​​​​​+I wish there was a font favorites feature.  

Currently you are able to add up to nine screenshots for your published community file. I would like to upload a video to this area. Apparently you can do this for plugins, so I would like the feature for community files as well.  

Hey Community,   Using ComponentNode.key and ComponentNode.remote (boolean), I can detect remote components and import them via figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(). However, there’s no API to get the original source file name or library name of a remote component.Would it be possible to expose the component’s source filename or published library name in the Plugin API? This would help plugins display component origin info like the Figma UI does.

In other words a way to branch to/from a Community file Hi everyone, I publish a design system (DS) to the Community and have frequent updates to fix issues and add/update components. Community members duplicate this DS to their Organizational account to use in their own projects. They have reported to me that once they import the Figma file into their org and use it as a library they have no way of getting my latest updates easily and without breaking changes into their production design files that refer to the original “duplicated” file. So it would be great if there was a way to publish “get latest” or “subscribe to changes” in a community file. (Instead of having to restart design file from scratch in the latest version of the Design System). Librairies features are not an option as they are specific to an ORG and cannot be accessed through the community. And Swapping in this use case does not work well at all. This would be great for everyone as it would allow Figma to always ship

Description:Currently, when prompt requests are ready in Figma, users only see a visual indication. It would be very useful if Figma could also notify with a sound alert. This small improvement would help users notice requests faster, especially when they are multitasking or not constantly looking at the Figma window.👉 Suggested feature: Add an optional sound notification setting in preferences. Allow users to toggle it on/off depending on their workflow.

Quality of life suggestion:Could we get a check box list in the Annotation flyout to select then apply?Applying Annotations is a ton of clicking if I want to apply all the Attributes for say Fonts or anything like that. I usually skip the width and height but apply everything else, which you have to click Property, then click the actual property then repeat 8 Times. 

I am part of the Design Language Team at Philips, where I work on creating and maintaining a precise iconography system based on strict grids and style rules in Figma.We would love to see Figma incorporate AI-assisted icon generation that works directly with these grids and guidelines.How it could work: Designers set up a grid + style parameters (stroke thickness, corner radius, proportions, etc.) inside Figma. Using a text prompt or simple shape input, AI generates multiple icon variations that fit exactly within those rules. Designers refine, adjust, and approve the output—keeping the creative process fast but still precise. Why this matters: Ensures AI-generated icons are consistent with brand and system standards. Speeds up icon exploration and reduces repetitive manual work. Allows teams to focus on higher-level creativity while maintaining strict design language control. At Philips, we have worked on a library of 1,000+ custom icons, and this is expected to grow to abou

It would be great if we could create a few custom components within a Figma Slides document. For example: being able to create a custom footer to use on all of your slides, that would contain maybe a company logo, a confidentiality notice, and page numbers. I’m able to create this component in a Figma Design library of course, and publish it and then access it in Figma Slides, but that has a few limitations: The component created in Figma Design is not able to use the font and color styles from the Figma Slides document; since it’s made in Figma Design, it either has no styles applied, or it uses those from another library. Then you’ve got multiple color and font styles mixing in the Figma Slides document, when I’d like to just use one set so it doesn’t get confusing. (Especially if we have non-designers editing the deck – the less styles/libraries available, the better.) I can’t easily make bulk changes to that component that will affect all the slides in only this slide deck. For ex

I just noticed this while right clicking a Figma file in the Projects grid list and having my Figma set to Light Mode: the context menu itself is still dark mode (and I normally am on dark mode, I just need to go to Light Mode for screenshots for a tutorial I'm putting together.)The context menu when right clicking over a Figma file in the Projects list view shows the menu still set in dark mode even if Figma itself is set to Light modeI tried to see if it was just for the things in the Figma Home tab, and noticed that the context menus when right clicking the tabs do change to Light mode when Figma is in Light mode:Right clicking the tabs in the Figma Desktop app shows that the menu turns to light mode when Figma is set to Light mode tooJust a visual bug. Figured I should log it somewhere 😄

Connected projects are likely to be sharing the same set of libraries out to external teams. Allow for specifying a default set of libraries to be shared for Connected projects. Somewhere in Admin > Resources > Libraries or in Admin > Content > Connected projects (or both?)

I have a lot of designs where I have a long list of items (using auto layout) that I want to paste something somewhere in the middle of. I would love a way to paste something after a selected item.  My current workflow is to select parent `/`, then paste, then drag it upwards.  Often when first pasting it inside an sibling item the layout properties are changed on the item you’re pasting, so that’s not really an option.  The Paste here seems to ignore any layout rules. 

Removing floating panels after we’ve gotten used to them is quite disappointing, especially since we can’t get them back. It would be great to implement an option in theme preferences to enable them again. Some users ‘didn’t like’ them, but there are others who did. Instagram

Would be great if we could collapse the modal of the plugin we are using (similar to the RHS panel when following someone) to minimise clutter on the screen and to allow us to re-open and continue using the plugin rather than going through the menu again :)(very crude mockup)  

Hello All,I’m having an issue with Figma Make declaring environment variables as false and reverting to fallback after validating my Supabase URL and anon key.Using fallback Supabase URL. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL environment variable. Using fallback anonymous key. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY environment variable.Make has gone in circles multiple times at this point with no resolution. Confirmed that the URL and Key entered are correct. The debug modal shows that Supabase is connected and the environment variable is set. Make also created a validation pop-up to re-enter both which I did and validation was confirmed. I’ve also had Make completely remove and reintegrate the Supabase connection to start off clean. Same issue.Some context: this is happening at the end of the onboarding processing for my site when the user is prompted to add their email and password to create an account.Anyone have any insight into what may be causing the issue? Happy to provide more details if req

I love that there are finally annotations built into the product but they always seem to overlap relevant content. I want to be able to move them around or at least have alternative positioning options. 

there isn’t enough of a difference between design and draw mode, and i was so confused when i couldn’t find the auto-layout options. the bottom bar pretty much contains the same things and draw should be included within design modes and the sidebar should contain all information

Please consider adding an image trace feature that would trace the lines of an image and converts them to vector lines for editing
