I have designed a website using Figma sites. The alignment is perfect in the preview mode. However the published site looks distorted. Common problems like center aligned objects moving to the left (I saw other users mention the same concern) Kindly help me fix this at the earliest.

I noticed that Figma became slow after updating my M3 MB Air to Tahoe. It’s very laggy and noticeable when screen sharing during a Google Meet call.

Figma provides a URL https://desktop.figma.com/mac/version.txt which should have the current version string to help sysadmins with update automation. That URL seems to have stale information at the moment (125.9.10 instead of 125.10.5 as of this posting). Can someone at Figma please look into this?

The recently introduced fill patterns do not seem to be correctly saved in styles:They are not editable (cannot select a new pattern object, and the toolbar does not show the pattern tab) When exported from a library, using them in another file results in displaying dots (presumably the default pattern) 

I generated a figma make presentation and published it . Then I shared the published link to one of the persons within the organization. But the person cannot access it . Why ? 

Hi,I'm trying to build a prototype using Figma Make from a number of screens I have.For example, I have a project with a large number of screens, and I want to create a prototype for it. I started with 3 screens.Normal screen (closed menu), a screen with a pop-up, and a screen with an open menuEvery time I insert screens into Figma Make it changes my design completely.When I try to be specific (for example, make the buttons in a system of hover and selected states) Figma Make deletes all the screen content and makes me a style for 3 buttons... I want a prototype with style.When I ask to restore the content that was deleted for me, it returns, but without the previous request.When I tried to simply insert one screen, it finally uploaded my screen as it is. But all the buttons are distorted, out of the frame. Everything is messy :(I have components, I have titles, I have layer names. It seems like I have what I need.What am I doing wrong?Are there any tips or guides on how to create a pr

Recently figma updated rate-limits, and i need orientation/insights on how to handle the implication of that in my project.So, our project used figma REST API to extract a JSON and images from design journeys on figma. Using that, we validate a series of internal rules on how to develop screens journeys for our organization.The thing is, this solution is used by a lot of designers , and they dont have the dev mode or a seat that allows them to make more than 6 requisitions/month (and they need way more than that).The only solution for that would be run the application on a personal token that has a higher seat? Or is there a way that i can upgrade the rate-limit of the application itself? All designers that use this application making a seat-upgrade would bring us much cost. I’m trying to understand if i have any alternatives here. I saw something about the API Tier having different rate-limits. Is that something i can work with or change? Maybe change the API to increase the rate-limi

Hi,Since the latest major update, we’ve been seeing a visual glitch with component instances in our Organization.Almost all instances initially render with the default state of the component (or nested instances), instead of showing the overridden values. The visual state only corrects itself after we interact with the instance — for example: Clicking into overridden text layers Toggling a variant/prop off and on again 📺 YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE IN ACTION: https://youtu.be/GOBF6B7vaO8---This is particularly problematic with our icon components, which use a scale vector. We have to swap between styles (e.g. filled/outline variant) on the inner vector before it displays at the correct size.In the attached video, you can see that our documentation header component first appears in its default state, and only then displays the correct overrides after double-clicking on the text elements.---This issue is happening organization-wide, across all files. It’s especially confusing for devel

Dear Figma Support Team,I am a student at BHARTI VIDYAPEETH SCHOOL OF ONLINE EDUCATION PUNE, (expected graduation:  2027). I urgently need access to Figma's education plan for coursework, but I’ve been completely blocked by the SheerID verification process.Here’s what has happened so far: I used Figma's education plan for a year and when it was time to reverify I submitted the verification form, but when I submitted my documents, there was an error. I tried it two more times and it gave an error. When I made another try, it said "verification limit exceeded". The issue was not resolved by SheerID and I am still getting the "verification limit exceeded" when I try to re-verify. I got the mail from the sheer id support team to try it with my verified college id but i do no a email id provided by college also cc figma ive also mailed the documents but theres no response from sheer id and it a week now for no reason my figma account is locked  today ive mailed them again about the same

Hi! I’m testing a site built with the new Figma Sites feature. I’ve set the top navigation bar as a sticky element and made sure it’s positioned at the very top of the layer tree. In the Layout panel, canvas stacking is set to “First on top.”Canvas stakcking settingsIt looks fine on Figma and Chrome(desktop & laptop)On Safari and mobile browsers, the sticky navigation bar appears underneath the hero section content, even though it’s set to be the topmost layer in the design.  On Chrome (desktop & laptop): everything works as intended — the GNB stays sticky and always remains on top. On Safari (desktop & laptop) and all mobile browsers (Safari & Chrome): the GNB is sticky, but appears underneath other layers and is partially or fully hidden.  Is there a workaround or fix for this issue? Thanks in advance!

My Mac runs 11.7.10 and can’t update to 12.  I have just updated to the latest version of Figma app which now tells me it won’t run on my Mac. Is there any way I can get back to my previous version or am I now going to be forced to buy a new Mac?  

I know there was an update to hide the email in the share popup, but for invitees only. At that time we still see email from who request to view or edit.But now it’s gone. This siIIy dump 4ss UI! Why the heII do you think you should remove the email from the requesters?My company restrict employees to use external email to view internal files. In this UI I can not indicate which email he is using, or even is he one of my colleagues.***_- PLEASE REVERT NOW -_***

What methods, tools, or habits do you use in Figma to make sure your designs stay uniform and follow the same rules — even when you work on different files?

The selling point of Banana Pro is that it can generate 4K images. Can Figma's Banana do that?

I have a company account where we have a paid professional plan, but when i tried creating a mock on AI backed feature, it is throwing a message that I am out of free AI credits. I don't know why it is still showing as free even after having a paid account   

I had this issue since yesterday where my figma make files specifically doesn't seem to be able to load. This happened to all my figma make files and it's been around 24 hours and nothin has changed. Figma support mentioned it could be due to network issue but the same error occurs on other networks and also to those who have view access to the files. 

Hi,I am making changes to my Figma Github Repo using Claude Code Web - but it seems to not have the ability to pull from Github, Is this correct? If so, what is the best workaround for this?

Portfolios and several page sites - okay, got it. Nice!But will we be able to publish blogs, web books, guides, wikipedias? With search engines, sorting / filtering techniques?I’m ready to build a huge web guide site, and so anxious to know CMS capabilities.Love you, Figma!

The mindmap is a critical feature in figjam and it requires a lot of improvements but at least these 2:collapsible trees better shortcuts (tab to move a node, enter to add a branch...)

Hello forum! So the default hotkeys for bringing to front and sanding to back, as moving layers above or below or other layers, are ] and [.And bringing forward and sending backward, as moving layers on one position abore or below other layers, are ctrl + ] and ctrl + [ key combinations.My issue is that I use second option, that is moving layers by one step much more often, so it would be much easier if that would be just ] or [, without also pressing ctrl key.Is there a way to switch those functions or hotkeys for those functions in Figma? Am I the only one having such an issue?Thank you 

I found many topics related to my question, but without answers and closed due to inactivity, so my hopes are really low, but give it a shot anyway. Whenever I create a Layout Grid (columns) it will be visible, and work fine toggling the visibility with L Shift + G. but for some reason, eventually the grids will just not show… the toggle is still happening (the eye icon beside the layout grid toggle open and closed) but the grid is not visible anymore, and the only way to make it work again is to delete the grid, and create the grid again… which is a bit annoying. Has anyone encounter this similar problem and had a solution? is this a bug that is beign addressed? I will appreciate any type of answer, considering that most of the similar topics where closed without a single response. Thank you! 😅

Hello fellow Figma friends,For the life of me, I can’t understand why I can’t see the MCP setting under Preferences. I can’t see it in Dev Mode or Design mode. Thanks in advance :)
