If I share a board directly from my Drafts, collaborators trigger “request to edit/join” prompts. If I move the file into a team/project or make it public there first, does that change how those requests are handled? My main goal is to avoid lots of edit/seat requests from free users when they’re working on a shared Draft—any tips or best practices?

Hi there, I've discovered that having consistent icons for different projects is a time-consuming process, especially when you need several styles of UI, web, and app design. Recently, I explored a site called Iconiex, which is packed with lots of icons in different formats like SVG, PNG, Lottie, and icon fonts.What I liked about it:Smoothly integrates with Figma, where you can simply copy-paste icons into your projects.Features varied styles such as Solid, Stroke, Duotone, and Bulk.Includes a free plan that comes with thousands of icons, along with Pro plans for bigger teams. It was useful for keeping everything consistent and accelerating the design process. I'm wondering—how do others work with icon libraries in Figma? Do you use plugins, build your own collections, or use external libraries?

There’s a font called “System font” within Figma.I can’t seem to find it anywhere.Does any of you know the company who created it.Is it available anywhere else ? 

I just published a figma make design to share with a client and the ui broke - all the styling is gone and I cant share it in the state it’s in. Has anyone else experienced this?

How to hug row’s height or hug frame’s height in Grid? I see it is possible to make it hug as default, but I can’t find it nowhere. 

The client has shared a file with me and given me “can edit” rights, but I cant edit. I am getting this error “An Admin needs to update your seat so you can edit file”. Any ideas? Thanks  

Hi everyone,I’ve been trying to turn my Figma prototypes into short demo videos for clients. Exporting screens works fine, but stitching them into something smooth takes a lot of extra effort.Has anyone here found a good way (plugin or workflow) to export Figma designs and then polish them into a video?For now, I’ve been experimenting with CapCut to edit the exported screens into a presentable format, but I’d love to know if there are more seamless options directly inside Figma.Any suggestions?

Hello everybody, I created an app in Make and saved .zip file. When I opened it I found that there is not package.json etc. so to run it locally I need to create a new project and so on. Can some body can explain to me the reason why Figma does not provide the complete code for convenient use?

Currently, I have 7 full sheets as research on my professional plan, and it will be renewed on the 27th of this month. I want to renew only 5 full sheets when I renew because I need fewer sheets. How can I change it?

What is the new feature about?

I have a file that I published with components and variants that I’d like to use for multiple projects. When I include the library in another file all of the components appear, but when I change the variant (ie changing from ‘default’ to ‘hover’ state) the styling isn’t correct. How can I fix this?

Not in the sense of components, but rather full screen frames that can be published, so designers on my team can easily import them into their files and make the necessary modifications.

Hello!Anyone knows if, when using Bulk, the size of the images you add in your spreadsheet matter?Sometimes they look pixelised so I was wondering if there was a way to avoid this.Thanks 

Hi there, I’m relatively new to Figma and trying to prototype an idea. Does anyone know if/how I could create a component that you slide with your finger and as you do it rotates a dial? Here’s a rough visual of what I’m after. 

Hi, Community,  I am looking for an advice to implement the following solution of the prototype:a chatbot on the desktop screen.  The screen is not scrolling - only the content of the bot.  Please, see the screenshot attached. Thank you in advance, Natasha 

Hi,I am trying to move files and projects into an Enterprise account with different workspaces and teams.Is there a way to do this as I have tried to move file and even though there is edit access on the files it is not working.Thanks

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about serverless architecture and its potential in shaping the future of eCommerce platforms. With scalability, reduced infrastructure costs, and faster deployments, it seems like a solid option for businesses that want to grow without worrying too much about backend maintenance.Companies have been exploring serverless setups for eCommerce web development projects, and it got me thinking: is this really the future?On the plus side, serverless promises cost efficiency, automatic scaling during peak traffic, and less operational overhead. But on the flip side, there are concerns about vendor lock-in, debugging complexity, and whether serverless is truly reliable for high-volume, transaction-heavy eCommerce websites.So, I’d love to hear from this community:1. Do you see serverless architecture as the next big leap for eCommerce?2. Or do you think traditional cloud-hosted solutions still make more sense for stability and control?Looking forward to your

I created a site om Figma Make and purchased the domain from Netlify and more than 48 hours have passed and when i type in my domain i get an error message, please see picture attached). I contacted netlify and they told me it is a Figma issue. Can anyone help?

Hi all!First post here, but I’m looking to do some prototyping with vibe coding tools, but can’t seem to get my libraries to be accurately recreated in these tools.I want to export my figma design tokens/components but am wondering what the best way to do this is? If i want to export to lovable.Thanks

last few months i used figma edu plan, now that plan has been expired. now i want to unlock my account and downgrade to free planhow do i do that?

This what I keep getting after Iteration 273. I literally cannot do any other prompts!

Accidentally, I can’t see added component annotations in any other file or page besides the one where the component was created. This makes it difficult to keep documentation centralized and to inform stakeholders about specifications.Is there any workaround to view component annotations across different Figma files?

Hello! I’m trying to create one layout guide that can be used across multiple formats. Is there a way I can scale down a layout guide without maintaining a 50px margin/ gutter, i.e. I want the grid structure to look the same at different dimensions.

My control button is not working in combo with my mouse, has anyone else seen this? I can do ctrl+c and open the color-picker, and I can do ctrl+cmd+m and make a mask, but if I want to ctrl+click something I can’t. So the ctrl button itself is fine, it’s just that combination that’s stopped working. And I didn’t notice how often I do this until I suddenly can’t, lol. I can right-click (using my mouse) fine, but it’s as if ctrl-click has gotten mapped to something else in Figma. And this is only in the Figma app - it works normally everywhere else, including Figma in a browser. 🤷 Anyone else done this before?

Driving me coconuts! When I create a new frame, the frame will be automatically named “Frame 48095626” How do I reset the latter number to 0 or 1? This happens when I create shapes, the layer will be called “Oval 109384” or “Rectangle 12341239” I’ve tried checking and unchecking file>preferences> renaming duplicated layers.
