Hi Figma team, I need help with my account access.I suddenly lost access to my school email because it has been blocked/disabled by the institution. As a result, I can no longer log in to my Figma account that was registered using that school email.All of my important design files are stored in that account, and unfortunately I never set any email forwarding or secondary recovery email. Since I no longer have access to the school email at all, I’m unable to receive any verification emails or reset my login.Because of this, I would like to request assistance to change the email associated with my Figma account to a new active email, or any alternative method to regain access to my files.I can provide any information needed to verify ownership of the account.Thank you in advance for your support!

 Greetings,My previous user email is [redacted by forum admin to remove PII] and recently, after I completed my studies, my university has migrated the email from siswa to siswa-old, causing my email to be [redacted by forum admin to remove PII].Consequently, my Figma projects under my previous version of email are all gone, losing years worth of projects and designs, even those related to the workshops I conducted. Does anyone know how to get my projects back?Thank you. 

before 🤗Previously, you could generate a [no expire] tokennow 😔If users rely on tokens to access the figma open api, forgetting to replace expired tokens can cause serious problems.The expiration date of the limited period will cause the figma token to no longer have usage value. 

when sharing a Figma Make design there isn’t a place to create comments to others about changes that are needed, or problems with the design. When publishing reviewers can’t leave comments. 

Hello, There is no option appearing under Settings → Accounts to delete the account, the last option appearing is “View history”! I’m using free version.

I know that something has changed because I use this shortcut constantly and my muscle memory is failing me.  Expected behavior:With an object selected Press “k” on the keyboard UI switches to Scale tool (if not already there) AND auto-focuses + highlights the value in the #x scale field Type desired scale value “Enter” to confirm Ex: select object with Move tool + “k” + “.5” + “Enter” = item reduced by 50% from center - it’s so easy, I do it all the time. Observed behavior as of 12/13/25 @ 5pm PST: Pressing “k” while on Scale tool behaves as expected Pressing “k” while on Move swaps to the Scale tool, but DOES NOT FOCUS the #x scale field In order to focus the #x scale field from Move, I now have to press “k” TWICE in a row (once to change tools and a second time to focus the #x field). As a result, my muscle memory keeps resulting in an object that is some lower opacity because “k” + “.5” now switches to the scale tool and then drops the opacity to 5 because the #x scale field isn’t

I’ve been using the “K” shortcut workflow for scaling for years, and something has clearly changed recently.This directly affects efficiency and accuracy, so I want to raise it for the team’s attention.Expected Behavior Select any object Press K Figma switches to the Scale tool Automatically focuses & highlights the X scale field Type the desired scale value Press Enter Current Behavior Pressing K while: switches to the Scale tool but does NOT auto-focus the X scale input Now I need to press K twice First: switch tools Second: focus the scale input field This breaks the entire workflow, and my muscle memory leads to accidental opacity changes (e.g., typing 5 changes opacity to 50 instead of scaling).

To make use of component properties better and reduce the no. of variants I tried creating my button with primitives which have 2 variants: Large: Icon size 20px (with instance swap), font style is button large (i.e. font size: 14px) Small: Icon size 16px (with instance swap), font style is button small (i.e. font size: 12px) Then I used this large variant to create a new component called ‘Button’ which comprises of all the different types (solid, outline, ghost etc) and states (default, hover, disabled etc.). Now when I take out a child of this ‘Button’, and change the properties of ‘Button’ first and then of ‘Primitive’ it works fine but when I have done this and try to change the properties of ‘Button’ again, then the icon colour gets back to primitive’s icon colour. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I’ve kept the name of icons also similar as mentioned by @Molly_Hellmuth in this article for Icon Best Practices. For better understanding: P.S. If this works fine for you, plea

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue with my Figma setup and I’m hoping someone can help. My account seems to be stuck in a Team-only workspace, and I don’t have access to a Personal Workspace at all. Because of this, all my files, including Drafts, are inside a Team space, which means I keep getting upgrade prompts when I try to use plugins or certain features.I bought a Collab seat first because I was already seeing these upgrade warnings, and I thought that upgrading would solve the problem. But it didn’t, the warnings still appear, and all my files still behave as if they’re inside a paid team environment. I also created a second Figma account using the “personal use only” option, but the same thing happened: it automatically created a team with no personal space.At the moment:I only see one space under “Your Spaces” and it’s my team;There is no way to switch to Personal Workspace;I can’t create a new personal space;I can’t leave the team (I’m the only admin);Plugins keep asking me to u

Hello, good day.I’m experiencing serious issues with the new Figma UI update. Many essential tools — such as padding controls — are missing or hidden.Please do not enforce this new version. The previous UI was much better, clearer, and far more efficient for designers.This new version has no advantages, feels confusing, and makes our workflow significantly harder.

Hey folks, I’m having an issue where I can create webhooks via an OAuth app, but deleting them always returns 403 "Request denied". Same token, same permissions, same everything – deletion just won't work.The premise is the following:A user from my app adds their Figma team ID manually and then registers a team-level webhook for that team using my OAuth app.My setup- OAuth app with webhooks:read and webhooks:write properly configured- I'm a team admin of the team I’m trying to register a team-level webhook on.- Using OAuth 2.0 with a valid  token- The team I’m testing with uses a Pro planWhat works- Creating webhooks- Listing all webhooks for my teamWhat doesn’t work- Deleting any webhook I get a 403- Getting a specific webhook by ID via curl - I get a 403 there as well, oddly enoughEven weirder: I can see all registered webhooks when I list them, but I can't touch any individual one.(I actually need just 1 but I’ve racked them up when developing and testing)I’ve created some extensive

I’ve been experiencing this for months. did sync & unsync, publish & unpublish, and don’t ask how many times I had install & reinstall. but it still doesn’t work. the above is my screenshot on figma working file, below is the screenshot on my design system. on the working file it doesn’t updated, why is that? (in philomena accent)  

I’m suddenly unable to edit any text layers in Figma, across all files, pages, and even brand new files—affecting both my main and secondary accounts.This has been posted by someone else previously BUT the fix that worked for them does not work for me.Please help, I have clients waiting for amendments that I cannot do for them 

I am trying out the CMS content for the first time, as I create a Figma site. There appears to be an issue with paragraph spacing not applying as it should.Paragraphs (a single ‘return’) in text that uses my Body style in a Rich Text field aren’t displaying any paragraph space, despite paragraph spacing of (for example) 16 being defined in the Body text style. I tried defining the space value on all breakpoints, too. No luck.But if I add a forced line break (shift-enter), which should ‘not’ add paragraph spacing, it adds the paragraph spacing! This looks like a bug, and prevents me from adding correct spacing in many contexts. I am also not able to apply correct spacing to lists etc.Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?

My page render perfectly 90% of the time, but sometime, it render completely broken like this (text blurred for privacy) And, one again,  the screen above render properly 90% of the time, except in cases such as these. I could provide plenty of other exemple, but the main idea is there. It is important to note that it is completely independent from the browser (it can even happen in Figma). BUT the problem here's quite big because it make user testings impossible in responsive mode since we can have these random glitches at any time 

I have created a card component that has a default and hover variant. I have attached all my text styles and created input properties so that a user can easily change the headline of the card. I want my hover state to have an underline for the headline text, but when I click on the hover headline and Cmd+U it applies to underline to all variants or vise versa removes it.In order to get it to work I have to detach the type layer from the property which obviously isn’t what I want because then the text won’t change. 🙄 OR I have to make a separate input property for hover which is dumb because then a designer has to input the same text twice (and I haven’t tested what that does in prototyping but I would imagine something would be funky there) This seems like a newer update because I didn’t have this issue maybe just a few months ago and I haven’t changed my process at all. I have tried naming the layers differently and that also doesn’t do anything. But I can still create overrides like

They are so bad, it’s sickening. First, masks go behind the masked object, (?!) Second, if you build a mask out of different compounded shapes (add/subtract), then you can’t select the sub shapes by clicking. You have to go to the layers and navigate through tens of shapes. Please change this, just do it like Illustrator. It’s unbelievable how bad it is. I get dandruff every time I have to use them.

I can open the files on my laptop and tablet but it is not working on my pc.Help Please !!

If the problem persists, please contact us at education@figma.com.”I have already contacted the support email but haven’t received a response yet.Is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue?Thank you.

I was logged into an old school email, and after graduating recently, the institution deleted that email address. I wasn’t able to edit the email for the account and now, I cannot sign back in. This was 2 years worth of hard work 😭 and I would hate to lose it. I have created this account to connect with support teams to get some help. Please let me know if there is anything that can be done! I really really need my Figma account back , it has all of my projects and assignments . Please help me retrieve my account back .

Hello,I’m having an issue with some components in my design system. The file is quite heavy, and for several components, the variants no longer appear in the right-hand panel.To switch variants, I have to select the component, right-click, and use the “Change variant” menu. From there, I can access all the variants, but they still don’t show up in the right panel.It really looks like a bug.Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you manage to fix it?Thanks!

The new additions to the grid layout are really awesome and very helpful! Thanks for that!It is now more like I’m used to having a grid in software.Now I have another proposal to make it even better.Sometimes I need to select all cells in a column, for example set the alignment inside that column.Currently I have to select all items in that column one by one.It would be very handy if columns or rows are represented in the Layers (left sidebar) so selection of cells would be easier. Maybe also add a toggle to switch between row and column seelction.

I haven’t seen many posts about this, only one from 6 months ago that’s now locked for some reason. When working with Auto Layout (fill to width/height) and aspect ratio locked, I’ve noticed decimal points in the element’s height/width (I have pixel snapping on). I tried Round to pixel but it’s not working. It would be so great if the Snap to Pixel Grid function worked with Locked Aspect Ratio! In my example below, I set the frame to fill the width but locked the aspect ratio so it doesn’t stretch the content. Unfortunately, this results in a decimal-point height, and with auto-layout this results in objects below this component to be placed on decimal points. When exporting as an image (which is a technical requirement), the decimals are filled with an odd colour (see last image).Component height results in decimal points when scaled automatically.Aspect ratio locked, and decimal point height.Odd colour fill in the bottom row of pixels when exporting.
