The problem:I have a hover button with 3 states - default/hover/activeWhen I add this component to my design and add a new interaction like “Swap Overlay” it takes several clicks to get it to swap overlays.Now, this was working fine some time back and isn’t the case for everything.I submitted this problem to customer support and, after giving them access to my files, they said:“just make a panel with the default state. then, when hovering over the button, make it switch to the new panel with the hover state, and then click thru from there to swap the overlay”And that sounded incredibly stupid. Afterall, this doesn’t actually solve any issues to what appears to be a bug.So my question is: is this happening for others?

Is there any way to make the slack intagration to work in the browser version of Figma to see comments from figma to slack?

I love how fast Figma Make is right now. I also like not hitting limits or having to use “credits” to make requests, like the planned announcement. I would be willing to spend no more than $40/month for unlimited access to Figma Make when the new payment structure is rolled out, but nothing like $200/mo because I am a single freelance designer who is not associated with a big corporation that would be willing to pay my monthly subscription bills.What would be your willingness to spend to keep figma make as fast as it is right now for you as a single, freelance designer who is not associated with a big company?

Have created a little portfolio website however one page when going onto Present keeps wildly glitching (wont scroll unless you double click and scroll, will also jump to different sections?)- have gone through all my layers and all sorts but cannot find out why this keeps happening, the other screens do not have this issue and have been designed exactly the same, overflow is on vertical as well….pls help! 

I’d like to remove the available seats from my Figma Pro plan to avoid being charged for unused seats. Could you please guide me through the process or assist in removing them? 

Hi,I applied for Edu verfication and it got approved last year, and this year for the new set of students, its asking for approvals again. I have submitted the required forms and still nothing happening. Is there any timelimit on that. Please guide. Thanks.

 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!

Hi dear community, I have no idea how to catch those panel.After create a auto layout and choose the , those panels should appear sometimes will appear and sometimes I can find it no where, I don’t know in what case the panels will be show?

I received the message 'We have successfully verified your education status!', but I didn’t get the 'Welcome to the Figma Education Plan' email, and nothing has changed in Figma (I still don’t see the Education Plan features after verification). 

The “Explore Community” button - usually at the bottom left of the window - is gone. Where can I find the button now?

All these figma updates keeps moving around the community section where I can search for plugins, designs etc… WHERE IS IT NOW!????

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!

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

Hi everyone How can I costumise the caracters in keyboard to be the same as the caracters I want to be written. 

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!

Have you used AI tools to adapt or enhance designs within your design system? Which tools did you use, what results did you see, and would you recommend them to others?

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?

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: 

I want to create a prototype where the header hides when scrolling down and becomes visible again when scrolling up. However, I couldn’t find any feature or tutorial explaining how to achieve this. I did find an old video, but it didn’t work for me. Is there any way to make this work?

When my student and I leave some of my files, they zoom way out. Even when I select to zoom in for the selected content, it zooms out each time I leave. Is it possible to zoom in and have it stay zoomed in on the content when I leave then return? In most cases, the pieces I want to zoom in on are the only content on the page.

Hello. Trying to preview an app I created in Figma Make on the iPad but I can only preview in the browser mode, which breaks the prototype because of all the extra browser panels and whatnot.The Figma app, however, does not even see the Make files.Is there a way to make Figma see Figma Make so that Figma can see what Figma created?

Hello!I have heard that you are about to update your bootcamp verification process starting September 23th.  Starting September 23, self-verification of bootcamps will no longer be available, and an administrator will need to confirm the bootcamp and then grant access to students and instructors. I have the following questions:1. If my company uses Figma as an online course rather than a bootcamp, do these updates apply to me? 2. Where can I find more detailed information, namely which organizations will be granted access, how the student and teacher confirmation process will work, and other details?Thank you in advance!

Hi all, When i’m exporting to a JPG with a dark background, the export is adding 1px to its original size which then creates a thin white line top and bottom
