Figma is now ready for iPhone 13 release.

You can now adjust the spacing between listed items in the type details panel. Finally! Such a small but important change — I had to imitate this with an Auto Layout in the past.

Learn how objects will position when using copy and paste in Figma.

Figma improved copy and paste to make it more consistent and predictable. Now you can replace selected objects with another object that you’ve copied to your clipboard (⇧⌥⌘V or Shift-Ctrl-Alt‑V), paste an object into multiple frames or groups simultaneously, and paste at the cursor location. To see how it all works, check out a playground file. (Figma launched this feature with a different shortcut, but changed it after listening to the community feedback.)

Miguel is demonstrating the new copy and paste capabilities.

Cool plugin by Tom Quinonero for creating gradients through color spaces like LCH and ZYX with non-linear curves. There are so many cool use cases for color spaces like LCH — it’s a real pity that they’re not a standard part of Figma.

A Node package that converts SVG strokes to outlined fills as a post-export process. Useful if you want to manipulate color attributes in code.

Import and export CSV files as sticky notes, copy-paste spreadsheet cells, and export selected objects or the entire board as a PNG, PDF, or JPG. See the video on how to use these features.

New keyboard shortcuts to make backward and forward actions easier in FigJam. Bring forward: ⌘-] or Ctrl-], bring to front: ], send backward: ⌘-[ or Ctrl-[, send to back: [.

Siddharth Ahuja joins Anthony and builds another experiment, this time reflecting facial expressions.

Anthony DiSpezio shares a fun experiment connecting pose detection and Figma plugin API.

Ridd shows how to use ​“slots”, placeholder components that are part of larger organisms or templates. They are intentionally empty so that they can be replaced with a local component.

A comprehensive guide on prototyping in Figma, covering interactions, animations, fix positions, overflow scrolling, and interactive components.

A tool for exporting PNG with an embedded ICC profile such as Display P3.

Cool to finally see an official video from Figma on using this hidden technique! See also my old article Using Constraints with Layout Grids in Figma, explaining the same approach.

Quick tips from Ana Boyer on how to use a Figma community file with the Batch Styler and Similayer plugins to quickly build a custom design system.

Ridd shares a detailed guide to building a customizable and flexible form component.

Interesting discussion about exporting assets with a Display P3 color space from Figma. I wasn’t familiar with Export PNG with Color Profile plugin (see below) or an option of assigning an ICC profile to the exported PDF.

Students and Educators using the Education plan can now invite others to their teams and start collaborating immediately. Collaborators have a 7‑day grace period to verify their education status. See also a video on how to set up your Figma Education plan.

People now can be @mentioned in Community comments. FigJam is improved on an iPad (hey, maybe Figma is next?). Style picker lets you select what libraries are enabled. And a few more improvements for admins of Organizations and Teams.
