Suggest a Feature

Hi there everyone,The tab bar has been annoying me for a long time now and I was wondering why it won't get fixed. Currently, if you have a lot of tabs open (don't tell me I shouldn't do that, I know I can handle it, don't worry about me), you cannot really navigate through them because scrolling is not possible, grouping is not a thing and the tab button on the right shows some magic order of the tabs which is not the same order they are shown in the regular tab bar.May I suggest a few improvements?Make the tab bar scrollable, seems like an easy and quick fix, a lot of apps do this these days. Make grouping possible (with expanding/collapsing), a lot of apps do this too. Make the order of the tabs after clicking the tab button match the order of the files (left to right should be top to bottom).I noticed that a lot of people have already requested this in a way, and all of those topics seem to have been closed. Please fix this issue for us power users (that actually do remember where

Hello! There used to be an awesome feature in Figma—the prompt history—that allowed you to see all the prompts and easily return to them. Now it’s gone, and we’re all quite upset: we lose context, it’s hard to repeat solutions, and work efficiently. Please bring back this capability or suggest an alternative. Thank you!

As a designer I would like to record my prototype screen or export it as a gif so I can use it in presentations and send quick examples in the team group. It would be great to have the same feature then Principle to record or export the prototype to gif. Does anyone have the same need? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Problem:When a Figma frame contains a video, GIF, or prototype animation, exporting it as PNG/JPG loses the motion. Currently, designers often need to use external tools or screen-record the prototype.Suggested feature:When a frame contains video, GIF, or animated interactions, add MP4 and GIF as export formats.Export options:PNG JPG SVG PDF MP4 🎬 GIF 🔄Suggested UXWhen clicking Export, Figma could automatically detect whether the frame contains animated content.Export as:○ PNG○ JPG○ SVG○ PDF○ MP4○ GIFFor MP4/GIF, provide:Duration: Entire prototype / Custom Resolution: 1× / 2× / 3× Frame rate: 24 / 30 / 60 FPS GIF: Loop / Play once MP4: Include audio / mute⭐ Extra opportunityA particularly useful option would be:“Export prototype flow as video”Instead of exporting just one frame, designers could select a prototype starting point and Figma would record the entire interaction flow as an MP4/GIF.That would be extremely useful for portfolio case studies, presentations, social media, desig

I'm excited for Bulk Create in Figma Buzz. It’s a lot more intuitive for our marketers to use, but at its current stage it’s actually more time consuming than our existing workflow, mainly because it doesn’t have the ability to bulk rename frames or the exported filenames. That means we still end up having to manually rename "Frame1.png" all the way to "Frame175.png".Here’s our use case: we need to create OpenGraph images for a website with over a hundred pages. We have two design templates: one with page title only, one with page title and a subhead.Currently, the marketing & web dev team maintain a spreadsheet of all the pages currently exist.We have the 2 designs set up as components and use a plugin called Scribe - Dynamic data in seconds to pull in the CSV and use a column we choose for naming the frames / files.I can see Bulk Create doing this as well, and even adding some common renaming & conditional naming options (i.e. case options, removing + replacing + appending ch

My team has encountered some issues working with non-designers that would be really helpful to fix if Slides and Buzz had a few more features they could access. Listing below the features that I think should exist in both Design mode and Slides/Buzz mode: Layers Panel Our users have trouble navigating auto layouts we create, especially when there are multiple nested within each other or within a group. Having access to the layers panel to select, remove, duplicate or lock/unlock objects would be really helpful for them If there was a way for designers to lock objects with certain permissions (i.e. can change the text but can’t change the X,Y positions, can move the object but can’t resize it, can unlock some objects but not others), that would help us maintain design control while still providing flexibility for non-designers Position/Layout Settings Users in Slides/Buzz mode don’t have a way to manually set Width, Height or Rotation controls. Given that these controls are availabl

I’m building around 40 social media post templates for our marketing team. This is not my first time using Buzz but I’m rather new to it. I am a daily user of Figma Design though. Testing my templates, editing content, changing layouts, swapping variants etc all works, but I cannot seem to open the simplified content editing panel. It used to be shown on the bottom left of the window, and I saw it once or twice while testing, but I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. Clicking edit only opens the ‘Bulk edit’ panel, there’s not even a button for the normal panel showing anymore (square with pencil icon). Wondering if this is a known issue and is being worked on or not. For me it’s not a big issue, but for my marketing team this panel is very easy to use and much preferred over the manual ‘click on the frame to edit’ or bulk edit panel. Thanks!

 File-level permissions within shared foldersThe new nested folder structure is great, but there’s a massive (& massively frustrating) permissions gap: it seems file permissions can’t be more restrictive than the permissions inherited from the parent folder.Our team has edit access to a shared folder, so every file within that folder is editable by the entire team and ppl can add folders & files as needed. There’s currently no way to make an individual file view-only without moving it outside of the shared folder structure.This is a critical use case for master files, templates, brand guidelines & other source-of-truth files. These need to live alongside working files and be accessible to the broader team, but should be protected from accidental edits.It’s essential to support file-level permission overrides that can restrict access below the parent folder level to a nested folder or individual file (Folder = Edit access → File = View-only)Being able to share a folder broad

Hi! Posting to see if there are there any plans to let Buzz Mode users do the following:Change their workspace background color from the default light grey We’ve made some editable assets that need to have white text, so it’s pretty hard for people to read white on the light grey background. Edit text sizes We have many use cases where we’d like to let marketers manually adjust text to approved sizes by themselves without having to be involved each time their text flows outside the text box and disappears.

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least o

I really need adaptive font sizing for text inside fixed-size text boxes, especially for Buzz.Here’s the use case:We create a creative for social media. We then create multiple sizes of that creative using auto-layout, constraints, etc. After that, we generate Bulk Create versions in different languages.The challenge is that text length varies significantly between languages - for example, French is often much longer, while Japanese can be much more compact.It would be incredibly helpful if the font size could automatically adapt to fit the fixed text box, similar to how text behaves in PowerPoint or Keynote.This feature would save a huge amount of time and effort, especially when working with multi-language creatives at scale. I believe many teams would benefit from this.Thanks in advance — really looking forward to this improvement. 🙂

I would love to be able to change the default fill / stroke color / and corner rounding of sections within Figma. I find myself spending a lot of time adjusting sections after initial creation to the way I like them throughout my files.

ngl, the new ui3 is pretty good. the only thing i dont like is the toolbar position. im still not used to it. maybe add an option to move it to the top?

Need this feature for icebreakers in workshop please.

Feature request: Selectively expose deeply nested instance propertiesAllow component authors to expose properties from a deeply nested instance—such as an Icon inside an Icon-circle—without also exposing the intermediate Icon-circle instance.This would keep components linked and updateable while making the instance properties panel cleaner and easier to use.

Illustrative exampleLeft: Get states from keyframes | Right: dynamic state from first and last keyframeYo! It would be cool to use animations as states for a component. For example, indicators might have a slider to demonstrate dynamic states between 0-100. Also, it would be a nice option to “bake” a state from a certain keyframe or moment on the timeline if needed for “key” states of the component.Thank you for Motion in Figma!

I’d love for the pages within a file to each have version history, same as the whole file does. We use 50+ pages in one file and it’s disappointing to not be able to see what/when last made changes were created in a specific page, and it’s impossible to know or see what changed in the file version history. Separate files for each thing would create a huge library, so our team uses one single file as source of truth and create pages within each section. Page version history would help us see what is outdated and who made any last changes per page.

It’s just very bright, and I’d like to get some work done at night without killing my eyes. Please add dark mode. FigJam especially, but it’d be nice throughout. Yeah, just remember the user likes a dark mode, and make dark mode the default for everything: your website, this forum, Figma, …

Level Indicator with variable width (stroke)Yo! It would be cool to animate the stroke with variable width too.Thank you for Motion in Figma!

Feature would be a search of some kind, where all interactions containing a specific variable (whether that is making a change to it or it is included in a conditional). When I have complex prototypes involving many different variables, and I want to refactor it to simplify, this can be very difficult.

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

Hey,I draw a lot of icons, and almost every stroke I make needs round caps. Right now, every new line, arrow, or pen path starts with Figma's default cap, so I manually switch the start and End points to Round on basically every layer. If I miss one, the whole icon set looks off.Could we get a default for this in Preferences, next to Nudge amount? Set it once, and every new stroke uses it. A default join setting in the same spot would be great too.For now, I duplicate an old line instead of drawing a new one, or run a plugin after. It works, but it's a chore for something that should stick.

We have a design system set up with tokens (variables) to enable all components to switch between light and dark mode. For developers/viewers to see what a screen should look like in Dark mode, we have to duplicate that screen. But as an editor I can set the colour mode variable at the Page level to Dark and all screens on the canvas/page turn to dark mode. If developers/viewers could also do this, I could delete the dark mode duplicates of every screen and only have one copy of each screen, defaulted to light mode, and then just toggle dark mode as needed. This would be much more efficient on memory usage and maintenance.

You can duplicate a file, and create a branch of the current file but when your in a branch you can only duplicate to a new file not a new branch. I always have this need I create a branch and don’t want extra files I just want to create extra branches off of the branch not the original file which has been significantly modified at this point.
