Suggest a Feature

When creating prototype connections in Figma, it is sometimes difficult and time-consuming to find the right screen manually. Currently, I need to scroll and select the frame every time. It would be very user-friendly if a search bar is available at the top of the prototype connection panel. This will allow users to quickly search and select their desired frame or screen, making the prototyping process faster and more efficient. Why this feature is helpful: Saves time during prototyping Improves workflow efficiency Makes the experience more user-friendly, especially for large projects with many frames

As many users have reported and requested, please kindly add support for custom fonts in Figma Sites. I often use Google and Adobe Fonts with common fonts, but cannot see the correct results. This is an essential feature. Please kindly update this soon. 🙏🏼🌊

I have hacked my way to do this Drop Cap on Figma but I think it’ll be a good feature to consider under the typography property.

I’d love to be able to copy and paste conditionals/variables statements, this would save time and errors. For example, I used a similar if statement multiple times and just needed to change 1 or 2 variables and numbers. But to do so, I had to re-write the statements every time.

I spent hours choosing fonts in my Figma Design file, only to move to Figma Sites where I can’t use my custom fonts. It’s so confusing because the custom fonts work great in Design and even look good in Sites when you are building (why is it supported in the design part of Sites at all if it isn’t an available feature? That’s misleading). It’s only when I started previewing my work in Sites that I started to catch on that there was an issue. Frustrated and considering moving to a different program because of this. Anyone else running into this issue?

First off—thank you for continuing to push Figma forward. It’s an incredible tool, but there are a couple of areas that feel unnecessarily clunky in day-to-day work. 1. Variables workflow The current variable tables look and feel like a spreadsheet, but don’t work like one. Copying and pasting CSV-formatted text into variable tables would be a huge efficiency boost. Editing values one at a time is frustrating when you need to create or adjust many variables. Plugins exist for bulk import, but they feel like hacks—this should really be a native capability in the UI. 2. Content import + duplication It would be amazing if we could paste CSV or text data into a selected component (like a text input) and have Figma duplicate and fill instances automatically. This is common in coding workflows, yet in Figma it remains slow and manual. Right now, the “First Draft” AI feature scratches the surface, but it feels limited.

Please kindly add native support for custom-assignable keyboard shortcuts within the Desktop App. I currently cannot add any custom keys and our workflows would be greatly improved with this essential feature. Thank you! 🙏🏼🌊 Computer: Mac Studio M1 | OS 15.3.1

The current Tables feature in Figma feels quite limited. It would be fantastic if some basic functionalities could be introduced soon, such as: • The ability to easily resize cells without needing to adjust font size • The option to merge cells • Top, middle, and bottom text alignment options These enhancements would bring Figma’s table functionality more in line with what we already have in tools like Keynote and Google Slides.

I’d like to suggest the ability to expose fill properties—specifically image and color fills—as editable component properties in Figma. Use Case: In designing components like cards, avatars, or thumbnails, it’s common to have a placeholder image or color that needs to be customized per instance. Currently, to change the fill, I have to drill down into the component’s layers and manually adjust the fill, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Proposed Solution: Allow fills (both image and color) to be exposed as component properties, similar to how text and instance swaps are handled. This would enable users to change fills directly from the right-hand properties panel when selecting a component instance, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency. Benefits: Simplifies the process of customizing components with different images or colors. Reduces the need to navigate into component layers for simple fill changes. Enhances consistency and usability in design systems. I beli

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?

I was taking the Figma design for beginners course and I left off yesterday in hopes that my progress will be saved so that I can pick up where I left off this morning but not only was I logged out my account, even upon logging in, I had to manually start the session from where I left it yesterday. It was quite a friction, also to know that you are making progress and being able to track that increases satisfaction on a beginners end specially when one is trying to commit towards and learn a new tool, it’s like an invisible crowd cheering on. EDIT: *PROGRESS TRACKING FOR FIGMA COURSES

Hello. I highly appreciate the new feature allowing us to use the text-decoration simply with the keyboard shortcuts. However, I’ve noticed that when applying text-decoration using shortcuts like cmd+b or cmd+u within components, the styling does not save properly. For example, if I bold the label in a button using cmd+b and later try use it and change the label text property, the bold formatting is removed. The same issue occurs with underline on hover effects - e.g. when I underline text for hover states using cmd+u, the underline is lost. While it was a relief that I don’t longer have to create all possible text-decoration variations as the separate text styles in my design system (like: “Body/Bold, Body/Bold Underline” etc.), now I feel like I should go back to this more time-consuming approach. Please consider this feedback or let me know if there’s a flaw in my workflow.

I would like to be able to reorder properties of a component, incl. nested components. To give an example: A boolean shows/hides an instance of a component and I want the properties of that nested component underneath the boolean. Example: Properties (these control the visibility of optional elements in a form component [in this case a Select component]) Required Help text Validation message Nested Instances (These control e.g. the labelling of the optional elements through text properties) FormControl/Label SelectButton FormControl/HelpText FormControl/Validation message

When will be video option added in Figma Buzz? It would be a great help, since it is about to take the role of Canva, but it can do so, if it had video option included just like Canva has.

Our team is still looking for a good design tool to use for our online presentations (we use Microsoft Teams). Now we love Figma Slides to present, but we often have to present videos and animations. Presenting these with Microsoft Teams’ screensharing isn’t very good, as you get a lot of latency issues and audio clipping. It would be really great if Figma Slides could get a similar integration with Microsoft Teams like Powerpoint has. With PowerPoint you can share a presentation directly from the Teams meeting, which then creates an online presentation which runs smoothly for all the viewers. Hope the team at Figma can find a way to achieve this, it would greatly help the motion design presentation workflow for many agencies! Kind regards!Niels

One of the key pieces of functionality of Slides competitors (like Canva or Google Slides) is the ability to share a slide deck with anyone, even those outside of the Figma account. Here’s my use-case: Made a slide deck in Figma Slides Want to share it with my whole company and with external stakeholders (e.g. our Board) These people don’t have Figma accounts I can do this very easily in Canva or Google Slides But it seems I have to manually invite everyone into the file in Figma slides

Better organization of content in submenus in the design area. Sometimes I use the slot method to compensate for missing options and possibilities in Figma. Here is an example: “Edit instance swap property”. I have about 20 favorite objects. But they are not organized in the window. Neither thematically nor alphabetically. So I have to do this manually. An autoscroll function is missing here. This means selecting several objects, moving them up or down and using auto-scroll to move them to the desired position. The “preferred values” are also not passed on. So if I have prepared a slot with preferred values and copy it, for example, 8 times (for 8 slots), these preferred values are not included. “Refresh” in the context menu of a warehouse (slot). Right-click to open the context menu and select “Swap instance”. All “preferred values” are not in the previously manually created order. That means all the work again, for each slot 🙈 Thanks

Hey! I would be interested to open my designs, generated by Figma Make into Figma. Do you have this feature in your backlog? Thank you!Nathalie

We are transferring design token names to variables in Figma. Token names are by necessity quite long (they cannot be shortened without losing meaning). Examples: dimension-action-padding-vertical-with-label-l dimension-action-padding-horizontal-with-label-l dimension-action-padding-gap-with-label-l When I click into an input field eg. auto-layout/vertical spacing I cannot differentiate the variable names in the list because the window is not rescalable. See image. I need to be able to see the full names. Preferably immediately without needing to hover over each item in the list. Thanks keep up the exciting work on variables guys and girls!

Hello I miss a capabilitie to assign a number variable to the rotation field. In the today case, I simply try to rotate a SVG animation depending on the breakpoint. If somebody have a solution (no bolean 🙃) Thank you

I want to make a prototype where something changes when user scrolls content. I want to keyboard collapse when user starts scrolling content, but it’s impossible to do with drag action. Or it feels unnatural Or am I missing a way to do it with existing tools?

Hey! How can I transfer the AI generated Prototype in Figma Make to Figma Design and continue editing it manually there?

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

Why is there no view for managing layers in Figma Slides? Maybe there is, but it’s tough to find. I suppose I was expecting a layers panel on the left somewhere, where I could flip between seeing my slides and the layers. Without it, we’re losing a key reason of why Figma Slides would be a better alternative than using Google Slides.
