Hi Figma team,Every time I convert a FigJam file into Figma Design, the objects look right and lose whatever made them useful in FigJam.Gradients are the clearest example. They come through visually fine. I can't touch them afterward: no stops, no direction, nothing to edit. Effects like shadows and blur do the same thing. They render, then freeze.I want converted objects to behave like native Figma Design objects. Editable gradients and effects. Objects I can still move, scale, rotate. Connectors that keep their routing and arrows and stay attached when I drag things around. Groups and components that don't strip out the interactive parts living inside them.This matters for the work I do: educational diagrams and mind maps, usually packed with connected objects, nested groups, components, gradients. I build the structure and relationships in FigJam. I polish the visuals in Figma Design. Moving a diagram from one to the other means rebuilding half the connections by hand, every time.I

Is there anyway to bring back the black background for the figma icon?

The recent figma autolayout update has brought up conflicting emotions. From one point it’s great that the autolayout would work closer to code, but on the other hand for teams that do more complex projects than Web UI, this creates a loooot of issues. 3 things in particular, that I know for sure, will break what we've been using in case of complex layouts:"Padding now always gets the room it needs" - Often when necessary, I relied on the fact that you can set auto-layout frame size to 0 and add paddings inside to allow precise position of elements without affecting the size and position parent and sibling frames. Now that won't be possible. ⁠"Inside strokes counting in autolayout" - again pretty sure this will break layouts where inside stroke was used. ⁠"Stacks with gap set to auto no longer overlap" - A lot of cases it's better to have parent in the desired size than have the parent rely on the children. Then we will get uneven distances and paddings in some cases. All of this would

Hello ! I’ve been working hard to create a skill thad teach agents to work with some of the most importants UI guidelines at my company.I’ve zipped it as a .skill file as it’s usually done to share and install skills.Figma seems to not accept this format. Any way to fix that ? 

Hi Figma Support,I’m having an issue with the CMS in a Figma Sites project. I have a verified student account and I am working on a Figma Sites assignment.I created a CMS collection called “Recipes”, but I am unable to edit or add CMS items.The issue is:I have edit access to the Figma Sites file and can make normal edits to the canvas. The left sidebar shows both CMS → Edit and CMS → Connect. The Recipes collection appears normally. However, when I open the Recipes collection, it only shows the CMS table in View only mode. The Edit option/tab is completely missing. I therefore cannot add new recipe items or edit the existing CMS fields.I have already checked this with my instructor, who also looked at the file and advised me to contact Figma Support.I also contacted the Figma support AI, and it suggested that because I can edit the canvas and the CMS sidebar contains both Edit and Connect, this may be a CMS-specific issue rather than a basic file permission issue.Could someone please h

Every time I exit Figma and come back, the previously selected sort order is lost, and it defaults to "Last modified" – "Newest first". Previously, the selected sorting option was always preserved.

When I open a comment in a design, then click the three dots and “Copy link” I would expect that when someone clicks that link, he’s not only taken to the corresponding place in the design but also the comment where I created the link from will show. So I see 2 options here:  disable “copy link” function in the comment section if it is not opening the comment but only points to the underlying design - just allow “Copy link” on the design itself. (Better option) The link should contain information about the comment itself and open the comment from which the link was generated. Otherwise, especially when multiple comments are on the screen, no one will know what was referenced here.

I started to try using agents to help find some holes in the my designn system but I asked it to make a simple one variable change and it disconnected everything variable in my whol design system. Losing hours and work. It could not fix the problem. I will not be using figma agents again. Has this happened to anyone else??

Hi everyone,I'm using the Figma MCP integration (`@modelcontextprotocol/server-figma`) with Google Antigravity to read design files and components into my development environment.Everything was working properly initially, but recently it started failing and throwing authentication/token-related errors when attempting to query files or nodes.Setup details:Client: Google Antigravity (configured via `mcp_config.json`)Token Type: Personal Access Token (PAT) with file read permissionsEnvironment:Token passed as `FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN` under server `env`Current Situation:- The integration was working previously without any issues, but suddenly started failing.- I am experiencing this issue in Antigravity (though I haven't tested it with other MCP clients yet).- I've verified the token is present in the configuration, but the connection/auth still fails.Questions:1. Have there been any recent changes to Figma PAT formats, expiration policies, or REST API authentication endpoints?2. Has anyone ex

When an Icon component is nested inside an Icon Button component, changing the icon size on an instance does not update the visual size of the icon.The size shown in the properties panel updates correctly (e.g. from 16×16 to 20×20), but the actual icon/vector remains visually at 16×16.This seems to happen when the nested Icon has already been overridden in the Icon Button instance.Steps to reproduce Create an Icon component containing a vector icon. Place the Icon component inside an Icon Button component. Create an instance of Icon Button. Override/swap the nested icon to another icon. Change the nested Icon size from 16×16 to 20×20. Check the icon visually and compare it with the W/H values in the properties panel. Actual resultThe Icon frame/property updates to 20×20, but the vector inside remains visually at approximately 16×16.The UI therefore reports the new size correctly, while the rendered icon does not reflect that size.Expected resultWhen the nested Icon size chang

Figma Agent should automatically recognize and follow the styles and components already defined in PropsKit by default, instead of requiring users to manually find components in the playground and use Copy prompt. The current behavior is inconsistent because the agent sometimes creates its own styles instead of adhering to PropsKit. This makes PropsKit feel less like a predefined component playground and adds unnecessary manual setup for users.

Figma can generate UI from a prompt, ship a website, and animate half a marketing site before lunch. It still cannot lock a ruler guide.That is not a niche request. That is table stakes. Illustrator had it. InDesign had it. Photoshop had it. Sketch had it. Fireworks had it. FreeHand had it. CorelDRAW had it. The version of PageMaker your professor used in a computer lab with beige CRTs had it. Figma looked at a hundred years of computer-aided layout, nodded, and shipped guides that behave like wet spaghetti you accidentally selected.You cannot lock them. You will grab one when you meant to drag a layer. You will not notice until the whole composition is 3px off and you are gaslighting yourself about whether the grid was always like that. Layout grids are not a substitute. They are a column system. The second the layout is irregular, overlapping, or not “12 columns and a prayer,” you need actual guides. Figma’s answer is: use the tool that cannot do the job, or use the tool that keeps m

This is so basic. I can’t believe that this has not been fixed, even though users have been asking for it for over a year. It’s such bad UX.

The IssueI am trying to give team level view permissions to members but they are not being received. Because of the confidentiality of the project, access permissions are controlled at team level and is set to “People invited to team”.  I am inviting the team members the same way I’ve done everyone previously but they don’t receive an email and they have no notifications to accept. Even if I add them to the team and then share a link they still can’t access the team or pages. Unless they are able to “Accept” the invitation they can never access any of the team content. Even this behavior feels inconsistent, because sometimes they can request access and sometimes it says it can’t be found. (Picture attached) It’s causing major issues with giving access to our new devs.  It’s also difficult to trouble shoot because they are on such a large time difference we are rarely on at the same time.Additional Info:We are on an Enterprise account We predominately only have trouble with our contract

i am creating an experience where a client can add a product through the use of a modal that has numerous multi-selects and needs to be able to expand in height depending on what the client selects. with that being said this is how i have the interaction wired. if i add a the “background” to the overlay, the modal locks and you can not even scroll up to see the modal information. i have also selected “reset scroll” and when clicked it never rests to the manual positioning. is this a limitation or and error on my end. the odd thing is if i deselect the “add background” i can scroll up but the page does not auto rest the scroll on click….any help on this would be amazing 

Hello,I am a user of the Figma Enterprise version.To use the Code Connect feature, I created a Figma project, converted it into a library, and published it. However, when I clicked the 'Connect to components code' button to link the components to code, I discovered that a GitHub account belonging to another user was already connected.I understand that in an Enterprise environment, the integration between Figma and a GitHub account can be configured at a team or organizational level by an administrator. I would like to know if the current issue is caused by such a centralized setting or if there is another reason.Could you please let me know if there is a way to change the connection to my intended GitHub account or to disconnect the existing one and set up a new connection?Thank you.

Hello,I am struggling to understand the differences between my previous free Figma account and my current Enterprise account with a Developer role.With my free account, I was successfully creating prototypes using Figma AI. I had access to the daily AI credits included in the free plan and was able to build a very promising prototype for a project I am leading. I invested significant time and effort in this work and was making good progress.Yesterday, I was assigned a Developer role within our Enterprise subscription. Naturally, I expected to have at least the same capabilities as before, if not more. However, when I tried to continue working on the same prototype and use the same AI features, I quickly consumed my entire monthly allocation of 500 AI credits in a single day.As a result, I am now being told that I cannot continue using these features until September 6th.This situation is very confusing to me for several reasons:In the free account, I was able to work productively using

Did Figma do a rug-pull with Agents recently? (< 2 weeks) Previously, with the exact same level of detail and instructions in prompts, I was singing Agents praises. This week it won’t follow simple instructions and each time admits it’s not paying close enough attention. Did Figma make a conscientious decision to downgrade underlying LLM?Based on recent utility, I’m better off doing it all myself. Not even out of Beta yet and already garbage.

Why the folders always change the sorty configuration, it must save the previous selection….

I'm currently using the Figma Education plan. I recently moved my design file into a Team workspace, but I noticed that the AI agent beta button has completely disappeared from my toolbar in Figma Design.Are there specific limitations for Education teams regarding the AI agent beta, or am I just missing something in the settings?Thank you so much for your help! Have a great day!🙏🏻 

I was waiting half a day to get access within Figma to a file… and I saw I had 3 emails telling me to accept access OMFG WHY!?What for? I used to work with Figma Enterprise and there was no “acceptance” if you asked to edit… it just turned on to be edited voila… And what’s with the time of waiting for actually getting access after the person agrees on the other side?

LibreChat is a free, open-source, and self-hostable AI chat platform that offers a unified interface for interacting with multiple LLMs and connecting to various MCPs.  Our team uses LibreChat extensively and we have already onboarded 40+ MCPs to it. Onboarding Figma MCP would be a great unlock for the org. Requesting you to allow LibreChat to connect with the remote Figma server.  Thanks!

Hi Figma team,My Figma AI credits are draining unusually fast — they're being depleted after just 3–5 prompts, even though I'm using the default AI model. This doesn't seem right for normal usage.Could you help me understand what's happening here? Specifically:- Why are so many credits being consumed per prompt on the default model?- Are there settings or best practices to make my credits last longer?Happy to share screenshots or my account details if that helps. Thanks for your guidance.

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

I’m working with a team on a large project, and we have a complex file structure. Removing the file previews has made it much harder to navigate our file system. Each group of files has its own color; previously, you could just glance at the main screen and understand where to go or see the file name in the preview. With only the folder icon and name, it’s much harder to remember where something is located. Please give us the option to revert to the previous interface with clear file previews.
