When I go to Share > Update Community file > Publish update > Save, it will tell me that the file is successfully published. When I check the community resource page for the Slides file, the name, details, and slide previews are up to date. But when I click “Use template”, the slides are still the previous version of slides.  This is happening to me on Convex Dark Slides, which I am the author of. They are Brian's Figma Toolkit, which is on an education plan. 

The recent change to the K (Scale) shortcut has really interrupted the workflow. Previously, pressing K once switched to Scale mode and automatically activated the scale input field, so we could type a percentage immediately.Now, pressing K does not activate the input. If you type a number, it changes opacity instead — which is easy to miss and causes accidental mistakes. To actually scale, you now have to press K a second time or manually click the field.On top of that, the scale field no longer clears itself after applying a value, so you can’t quickly apply consecutive scaling (e.g., 90% → then another 90% on the new size) without manually clearing the field.The previous behaviour was much smoother and faster. It would be great to have that back or at least have an option to restore it.

A small change I noticed recently.In the old UI when you hit 'K', the input field for the value was automatically highlighted and you could instantly follow with a number on your keyboard.(e.g. you would hit 'K', then '2', and the item is scaled by x2)In the new UI however you now have to hit 'K’ twice to get to the same result.('K’, again 'K', then '2')I don't see what's the motivation behind this small change? Do other users experience a similar issue?  

When I move the screen around it glitches and my webpage keeps reloading. I think it also crashed at one point.

Hi everyone,I’m not a developer, so I may be missing some details about the API, but I’ve run into what looks like a bug while building a plugin and wanted to share the exact scenario.I’m creating a plugin that automates different design tasks in the background. Everything was working well until I noticed an issue that only appears when I use figma.on('selectionchange'). I stripped my plugin down to almost nothing, and the problem still occurs as long as that event listener is active.What’s happeningThe bug shows up only under a specific set of conditions: You have a component instance (this does not happen with main components or regular frames). Its width of the frame where the instance is positioned is driven by a variable, and you switch variable modes that change that width. The instance is set to absolute position with left + right constraints. After switching the variable mode, you interact with anything else on the canvas (for example, clicking another instance). The issu

In the last days I noticed a change in the feature of zooming with Ctrl+scroll wheel. It used to be much smoother. Now it jumps from 26% to 100% to 381% to 1449% 😐 This is a feature I use all the time to navigate my projects and this change prevents me from having adequate control over the view of my canvas. I need more intermediate steps in zooming, just like before this change.

I can't find this "use alternate zoom handling" in figma destkop version. This function makes the mouse scroll (zoom) non-linear which I don’t find comfortable. But some how it’s turned on in desktop version and there is no way to turn it off in desktop version. Please help! 

There’s a lot of plugins, and especially for certain features that there’s a lot of plugins for, like finding Icons/Symbols, there’s certain plugins that i prefer or like, but can only access them through the Recently Used section, but it disappears if I use other ones. There should be an ability to favorite a plugin for reuse.

I guess it’s a tiny thing but it will be super helpful to have an option with each element to remove it from final exports. Like sometimes I have some elements which I don’t want to be in the final export when I am batch exporting multiple frames. For me, I faced this issue when I wanted the gridlines/safe-areas not to be visible in the final export. (I’m talking about the manual grid lines, not the layout grid row/column option from Figma) Maybe there is a way of doing that that I haven’t come across yet and as a learner, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me.

Hi!We are currently investigating a way to use the same design system for all our different sub-brands (as they have a lot in common). To do this, we have created a small working group where I am one of the members.The result will be some kind of POC where we want to prove the concept of having a core library with shared components and then having a local design file for each brand where all the styling is applied.I would therefore need some help in getting an important feature for us (I have both googled and used various AI chats, but have not been able to get it right). You mentioned that we now have access to a higher level of support through the Enterprise license.Right now we are using a free version of Shadcn as a basis (Core). That is where we have all the basic components (buttons etc.) and also our own custom components that will be inherited in the local brand files. The same goes for variables, we have all the built in shadcn/tailwind variables in Core, but also a collection

Hi all,Have you considered adding a feature to the auto layout “gap” feature that could allow a user to set a minimum gap i.e. 8px and a maximum gap i.e. 40px?I’ve recently needed this function for building bar graphs. I need to make them responsive without getting too small and overlapping on each other or too big when expanded.

I am trying to push my site to Github but it seems to indicate that there is a security issue. I have tried to recreated my repository and nothing seems to be working. The connector appears to say that it is properly connected but then the AI chatbot states that it cannot perform the upload. I have reviewed all permissions and it is not working. Also, I am using a personal GitHub as I have not setup an organizational account on Git but if that is required I can do that. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi eveyrone,I’ve started by drafting/prototyping in Figma Make, and have moved things forwards really quickly. I’d now like to move the screens into more of a workable space where I can see/edit all screens to take them from initial concept to my own specific design and see noodles linking screens together. Do you know if it’s possible to move the files across? Or am I better taking screenshots and starting from scratch? 

Components added from libraries in the sidebar are added above the frame and not contained within the relevant frame. This means that you need to navigate back to the layers panel to manually place the component within the frame every time.Open design file. Select frame Navigate to Assets Search for a component in a library Click on component. Insert instance. Observe that the component seems like it is in the frame. Navigate to File. Observe that the component was added above ALL layers.

Simple as the title : Allow components to be set as file thumbnails. We need that possibility in our company to be more flexible with our thumbnails, wich may change year by year.

To the Figma Team and the broader Community,I am writing with an urgent and passionate plea: please make Code Connect a part of the Professional plan. To gatekeep this incredibly powerful feature feels like a direct rejection of the modern, agile way so many of us build products today.The world is moving towards small, high-impact teams, single-person companies supercharged by AI, and freelancers who handle both design and development. We, the users on your Professional plan, are at the heart of this movement. We live and breathe the transition from pixel to production code.Why are you creating this artificial wall between our designs and our code? Code Connect isn't just a convenience for large organizations; it's a revolutionary workflow enhancement for the exact type of user on the Professional plan. It promises to eliminate the friction that we face every single day. To lock it behind a higher paywall is to create an unnecessary and painful partiality, sending the message that our

Hello Figma Support,My cousin accidentally upgraded my account from the Free/Starter plan to the Team Professional plan ($35). This upgrade was not authorized by me — my card was still saved on the account.I kindly request that the subscription be cancelled and the $35 charge refunded.I would really appreciate your help with this.Thank you.

Hello,I've set up a two-collection system to achieve independent Brand and Theme Mode switching, but I'm struggling with a specific conditional requirement for neutral colors. My variables are separated into two collections:1. Collection: Brand (The Primary Color Picker)This collection defines the primary brand color and default text color for all themes and I apply this in my sections of the pageVariable Name Pink Brand Green Brand ... Black Brand White Brand bg #E8308A #95C11F ... #141414 #FFFFFF text #FFFFFF #000000 ... #FFFFFF #000000  2. Collection: Mode (The Dark/Light Logic)This collection defines the theme state logic by referencing the Brand collection, this I apply to the page itselfVariable Name Color Mode Dark Mode Light Mode bg [Brand/bg] #1A1A1A #E0E0E0 text [Brand/text] #FFFFFF #000000  When using the Black Brand or White Brand mode, I need the Dark Mode resolution to slightly adjust the background color to provide vi

Al ordenar los proyectos de figma, me gustaría poder ordenarlos en carpetas, como la de favoritos en el side bar, aparte de que al exportar me dé la opción de como quiero guardarlo, en carpeta, por separado, etc.

I have tried verifying 10+ times, I have contacted SheerID and they say the image of my government ID is not “Clear” I have tried uploading images of it as clear as possible, I have uploaded digital copy of the id straight from government portal and still that is not “clear’’I have run out of verification limit twice, The only prerequisite of being a student is College mail and college ID SheerID cant even verify that. education@figma.com was of no help either. Said that only sheerID can help.

Hi Figma team,We’re running into a structural challenge in our workspace that’s slowing down collaboration within our creative team. As our organisation grows, so does the number of projects we manage in Figma. Each project gets its own folder, but because folders can’t be nested or organised into deeper layers, everything ends up sitting in one giant list.This creates a messy, hard-to-navigate workspace — especially when multiple teams and long-running projects are involved. We often work across different clients, internal initiatives, and design streams, and the lack of subfolders makes it difficult to keep things structured and find what we need quickly.Our request:A more advanced folder system that supports multiple levels (e.g., Workspace → Client → Project → Deliverables). This would allow us to group related projects, separate clients, distinguish internal vs. external work, and keep our workspace clean as it scales.Why it matters: Reduces clutter and confusion Speeds up file
