How in God’s name do you change the angle of a gradient when selecting multiple layers of text?amazing that this $10b company hasn’t made this obvious/easyThe “rotate gradient” button does exactly nothing.  

I have dozens of ‘modified’ existing components in a design library that are in various states of progress. When I went to publish just two of them, I didn’t realize they were all selected - I published the entire library. I worry that if people accept the updates to these unfinished components they may break.Can I undo this?

I have about 6 components, all with roughly 7 instances each. In the image, the left column shows you the component/content items. The right gives you access to its image/video and all of it’s info.. pages and pages of info. I simply want to use the left menu to have the user click the component they’d like to view, and the area with the green box would display the default instances of that component. What am I missing? I’ve tried setting variable modes, setting variable..I’m trying to clean up a very old file that used a massive set of instances and pages to create this prototype. The prototype functionality seriously looks like spaghetti thrown on a wall.  I’ve tried variables and variants - a zillion experiments that have failed. If they were all instances of one component, easy-peazy but this has me stumped for some reason. Thankfully it’

Hi! I’m struggling figuring out how to optimize some buttons/components with variables.I’m trying to make tags with different sections. Essentially, I need to find a way to have the tag style change based on what tag section its in and if its been selected. I have tags for the following:Culture (red), Food (orange), Adventure(green), and Leisure (blue).They should all have two modes: selected and unselected.Each category has 10 tags. So, for example, culture has:architectureartceremonial siteshistorical museumsmonumentsreligious structuressacred groundswrecks & ruinsviewpoints How do I use variables to change the following: tag contents (text), tag color (both depending on if its a culture, food, adventure, or wellness tag AND if it is/isnt selected). For context, I’m trying to optimize my prototype in figma so that I can then use the React extension and

I'm new to prototyping, so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question with a simple solution. I'm trying to animate a button, and I made the button as a component, and a variant for the hover state.It's a little hard to explain the issue, but I hope it's understandable. The issue I'm having is that, when you hover over it, the variant "moves" to the bottom right when you hover over the button, and I would like to make it look like it's expanding from the center.What it looks like right now:How I want it to move like (makes it look like it's expanding from the center):But right now, it looks like it's doing this:

Hey Figma team and community wave,I wanted to ask if anyone here has found a reliable way to monitor AI credit usage within Figma Make. Our team has started using Make quite heavily on the Enterprise plan, and while we know each full seat currently gets 4,250 credits per month, we haven’t been able to find any analytics or reporting within the admin interface.A few specific things I’m wondering: Is there any current workaround or API access to view usage across the organisation? Have any Enterprise teams received usage summaries or reports directly from Figma Support? Does anyone have early insight or indicative pricing for when Figma starts allowing additional AI credit purchases (mentioned for 2026)? I reached out to Figma Support and was told that there isn’t a way to track usage yet, and that credit overages aren’t enforced for full seats at the mo

My org is considering purchasing additional AI credits to pilot in a pay-as-you-go purchase. We have multiple cost centers in the org and need a way to create separate pools of credits for each cost center to manage. Is there a way to do that in the admin controls, maybe by user group? Having all additional AI credits in a company-wide pool doesn’t allow us to manage who and how much they can use.I do see how to restrict individual users from accessing the pool (in help center doc but not in my admin panel yet), but I don’t see a way to set a ceiling for how many credits an individual can use from the extra pool. Is that possible? 

Hello everyone!Are there any options that add gray to white shapes on export?I’m trying to export some designgs from figma, but they are spoiled by gray pixels in (I guess) partially visible positions. To make it clear I’m trying a really simple shape now. It’s just a 50x12 rectangle with 12px border radius. I looks great in Figma:All correct in FigmaBut after export I get some grayed pixels: Export is spoiledI can’t get correct output I need. Any suggestions please?Thanks for any assistance!

Hi everyone,I used to copy an image (Ctrl+C from browser or local folder) and then paste it (Ctrl+V) directly into an image component in Figma - like for cards or avatar images - and it would automatically replace the image.But recently, this no longer works. When I try pasting, nothing happens. Now Figma only shows options like “Upload from computer” or “Make an image” (screenshot attached).I’m wondering: is this a recent change or bug in Figma?Is there still a way to paste an image directly into a component without having to upload it manually?Thanks in advance!  

When I changed my password, it didn't automatically log out of the account, the old password was still available, and when I logged in with the new password, it showed me a password error and told me after a few times that You've made too many recent attempts. Please tryagain later.

It looks different when I tried to change variables,which is quite hassle as opposed to the usual,how can I change it back

Hello Figma Support,we are currently planning a cleanup of our Figma organization and would like to clarify some capabilities:Is there reporting for inactive teams/projects, missing owners, or specific file names (e.g. “Untitled”)? Are bulk actions supported (delete, move, export files)? Can admins access or manage personal drafts, especially from deactivated users? What is the recommended process for transferring files during user offboarding? Is there a way to centrally review permissions (e.g. “Everyone can edit”)? Can we get an overview of guest users and their access? Does the API support reporting or automation for cleanup tasks?Any best practices for large-scale organization cleanup would also be appreciated.

Is the User Groups feature unavailable for education plan?

Hi everyone,I’m currently building a design system in Figma that is intended to work well with Code Connect, and I have a question regarding icon architecture.When I use a single icon set with variants, I can map everything under one Code Connect connection — which is great.However, selecting icons inside components becomes very difficult and impractical (huge dropdown).I’m considering switching to separate icon components (e.g. icon/add, icon/close) and using them via instance swap.👉 My questions:• Can multiple icon components be grouped under a single Code Connect mapping?• Or would each icon requir

Hi Figma team,I submitted my plugin 文本搜索替换工具 (Text Replace Pro) for review about a month ago, and it's still showing "In review" status.Plugin link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1614127567153066460/text-replace-proSubmitted: approximately March 20, 2026I understand the team is experiencing high submission volume right now — I've seen similar reports from other developers on the forum. I just wanted to check in and see if there's any update, or if there's anything on my end I should address.Thank you for your time and for all the work you do reviewing community submissions. Really appreciate it! 🙏

I’m missing Figma Sans VF, Mono VF and Whyte. How do I install those?I’m new to figma slides. Just exploring the “How to use Figma Slides” template produced by Figma and I’m trying to follow along. I get to the text editing portion and I can’t edit any of the type. It says I need to swap typefaces. I can’t edit text unless I swap fonts because I’m missing the used fonts. If I change the font, I can edit. I’d like to correct this issue and have figma’s default fonts installed, however, I can’t seem to locate them or any mention of them on the Figma help, learn, or community support sites. Why wouldn’t they be installed with the desktop application, and how do I install them?Software:Figma Desktop App v126.1.2Windows 11

Hi, Our Figma annual plan renews on April 21 and I want to downgrade 9 members from Full seats to Dev seats before the renewal date. I want to make sure I'm doing this in the right order to avoid any additional monthly billing or access issues.My plan is to reassign each member individually on the Members page first, and then confirm the updated seat counts in the renewal dialog. Is this the correct approach, or should I adjust the seat counts in the renewal dialog first?Also, when I downgrade a member from Full to Dev, does the change take effect immediately or only at the next billing cycle?Thanks!

In my Toggle Switch component, I have a mix of properties (variants and booleans). I’m able to reorder the variants but it seems I cannot reorder the boolean. I want the order of my properties to be:Variant - “State”Boolean - “Label”Variant - “Label Position”Is this possible?  

So in radian os there are 18 colors, it is a global design system, but if we had to make a variant for each color, lets say, for Front icon, flag, dot indicator, avatar, trail icon, cross, and so and so..there would be, 18colors * 3 sizes * 4 variants * 6 different badges = 1296 badgesI’ve seen in the figma keynote, that pulling just one instance will also pull all other in the component set, so should i make 1296 badges?or do the way i just did here, 3 bases, with each colored icons, avatars and more (the icon library & avatar library are all ready)does it also pull, the main components * base component ?(and i know the picture doesn’t sho

Ours used to say 'the spec doesn't match the component.' Took me a while to figure out why.What's the most common complaint your devs throw back at you?! How do you share your handoff - via figma file share or tailwind v4 file share or JSON or any other ways.Curious to learn about your approach.

Went on vacation for 3 weeks, come back, and now my magic “select all matching layers” button is gone. Why?I used to be able to select all matching layers within a section. that is now gone!Lately it seems like Figma is dead set on disrupting all of my workflows!

Hey everyone,I’m still learning the basics of SEO and had a question I couldn’t quite find a clear answer to. If a website gets backlinks from older blogs or sites that don’t get much traffic anymore, do those links still provide value for rankings?I know that high-authority and active sites are usually better, but I’m wondering if a link from a quiet or less-active blog still counts in Google's eyes — even a little bit. Does anyone know how Google views those kinds of links today?

Hi guys, I subscribed to figma not because I just wanted to use Figma Make. I thought the AI worked for designs as well, just like https:sleek.design, but unfortunately for me, what is made, can’t be edited on Figma Design. How do I cancel this subscribtion. It’s been taking almost £22 from my account monthly - no matter what I do.Many thanks.Abe

I specialize in Design Systems and noticed that Apple’s and Material’s official UI kit has a very specific structure in the Figma Assets panel. They have dedicated 'Example' headers with horizontal dividers that don't seem to follow a standard Figma featureWhenever I try to organize my own DS, Figma just defaults to alphabetical order and I can’t figure out how to insert that clean line dividers between sections. Does anyone know the specific naming convention or structural trick to force a custom sort order and add these visual breaks?
