Navbar doesn't stretch

 Hello everyone,I'm trying to create a sticky navbar for my portfolio. I have a main frame with Auto layout set to a vertical direction. I've placed my navbar frame inside this main frame and set its position to Absolute position.I also went to the Prototype tab and enabled Fixed position when scrolling for the navbar.The problem is that the navbar sticks to the top-left corner, but it does not stretch to the full width of the page. It's leaving a blank space on the right side.I know that Absolute position takes a layer out of the Auto layout flow, and I've tried to set the navbar's constraints to Left & Right, but it's still not stretching as expected.My main frame is 1440pxwide, and I need the navbar to always fill that width while remaining sticky.Has anyone encountered this issue or found a working solution? Any help would be appreciated!

Help making Jira MCP save images on filesystem

Hi everyone,I’m experimenting with running the Jira MCP server locally in VS Code alongside GitHub Copilot. My goal is to download a design image from Jira and use it with another tool to compare it against a screenshot of the built feature.Here’s the issue: My agent seems able to fetch the image (I can see it being used in the chat context), but I can’t get it to actually save the file locally. With Playwright MCP, I can easily take a screenshot and save it to disk, so I know saving works in my setup. What I’ve tried so far: Following all the available configuration steps. Adjusting the prompts to explicitly ask Copilot to save the file. Testing with Claude Sonnet 2.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and GPT-4.1 inside Copilot (same results). Has anyone managed to do something similar: downloading/saving Jira design images via MCP with Copilot?What options or workarounds should I explore?Thanks in advance!

URGENT REQUEST: Figma for Education

Hi everyone,I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with this before or has advice on the best way to get in touch with someone at Figma. 🙂I’ve been trying for the past two weeks to set up my education account, but I haven’t received any response. Right now, Figma isn’t recognizing my @fsusd.org email as eligible for an education account. When I tried adding my students to my team, it only lets me create four projects, which means my students can’t make their own.I couldn’t find a direct email or phone number on their website, so I’m stuck. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know the best way to reach someone at Figma, or if there’s a specific contact for education accounts?Thanks in advance for any help!

Component overrides get broken after library publish

We’re experiencing a random problem with component overrides in our design system which consists of multiple library files. Our components use an atomic structure, where small individual components are combined (sometimes with overrides) to create larger components. The problem we’re facing We’re using some components in a design file and they have overrides applied to them. When a new library update is published, taking the new updates in the design file breaks our overrides. The component properties/variant selection is intact, even the value of the overrides are intact, however the instance would either loose border radius, or have its alignment changed or the layer name resets to the original name from the atomic component. This happens to some specific components, and not others. And this also happens randomly, sometimes some components break, while others don’t. We tried recreating the whole library from scratch with a few components to see if the problem persists, and unfortunat

Using Plugins with Figma Make and exporting design only

Hey everyone,I’ve been using Figma Make to build my website and noticed that it generates a lot of React code with many components. I have a few questions: Is there a way to export or download the entire project as a .zip file, instead of manually copy-pasting the code into my local environment? Since I don’t need all the React code, is there a way to export only the design, or better yet, convert or export the Figma Make project into a Figma Design project? In Figma Design, we can use plugins like Builder.io — are plugins like that also available for Figma Make? Would really appreciate any guidance from anyone. Thanks!

Why is there still no dedicated Figma design app for iPad, despite the growing demand and the iPad's evolution into a powerful design tool?

With the increasing popularity of iPads among creative professionals and the device's capabilities now rivaling many laptops — especially with Apple Pencil support and desktop-class processors — it’s surprising that a leading design platform like Figma hasn't released a fully functional iPad app. Is this a matter of strategic prioritization, where Figma believes the current user base doesn’t demand it strongly enough to justify development resources? Or is it due to technical limitations, perhaps stemming from the complexities of maintaining feature parity with the desktop/web version on iPadOS? Alternatively, is Figma's vision more aligned with a cloud-first, desktop-class browser experience, where portability across devices takes a backseat to collaborative infrastructure? If so, does this approach overlook the rising trend of mobile-first or tablet-based design workflows? It would be insightful to understand if Figma simply hasn't seen enough ROI or user behavior validation to green

Anyone know what this symbol is on my library file?

Normally the library files show a little icon in the lower left of the tile thumbnail image that looks like an open book. One of my files is showing a new symbol I’ve never seen before and I don’t know what it means. Anyone know?Symbol I haven’t seen before.

Connecting to a Figma template via API

My marketing agency has a proprietary content creation platform (we control all aspects of the backend, etc.).  After written content is created, we typically copy and paste the content to a Figma design template. Via an API connection, is it possible to create my written content and simultaneously have it populate in a Figma template? Or even populate as comments? Currently we use the batch import functionality in Figma Buzz but now I'm interested in directly connecting a Figma template to our platform. Is this API connection possible? Thanks!

icon colors visible in both figma modes dark and light?

my icon set looks ok only in figma app interface LIGHT mode. But, when I switch via CMD+K “use DARK mode”, my icons are the same color (kind of black) as figma app interface bg color! I could make them gray, but this is silly. there must be a better solution i guess?

Figma Make versioning limits

Hi team, we have been prototyping some fairly complex web app concepts, and just wanted to understand what happens as we get into really high version numbers (e.g. up version 95 in the one I am looking at right now) – would like some understanding/reassurance of the limits before we really start orienting our prototyping process around Figma Make.Is there a limit on how many prompts a single file can have? Are there any risks in having a file with very high numbers of versions? I saw another post saying their file stopped being able to iterate at version 900 because of how large the prompt was getting (with all the history). Is there a way to “fork” a new file, and this file effectively restarts at version 0 – I was surprised that duplicating retains all the previous versions.Slightly worried about the usage limits of roughly 80 prompts per month – I could do this in a morning! Are we doing something wrong? I have been very happy with the results (and breaking complex app flows into ve

Why does changing the main component, not change all its instances?

Hi! I’m following a video by BYOL right now, and he’s done such a great job explaining things. But I’m a teeny bit (very) confused about something:What I’ve got / what I’ve done: I have a main component which is a set of icon components combined to form a single component (I’ve called it Nav - Lower (NL)). I’ve taken three instances of NL and used them in three other frames. What I want: To make sure that the main component is responsive, so I changed its constraints to Left + Right and Bottom. I want to be able to change the main component and see those changes reflected in its instances. What I don’t want, but is happening right now: Screen-recording:

How do I find my invoices?

I’m feeling like an idiot. I’m on a professional plan, but I can’t find any invoices in my email and I can’t find anyplace in the Figma site to download previous invoices. This should be easy…been looking for 15 minutes and can’t find anything.

Figma Make page not loading, not loading on published either.

This issue has been happening on and off today which is preventing me from moving forward. Is anyone else seeing this? It’s also happening to the published version.
