Hi everyone,I’m looking for urgent advice. Two days ago (Aug 12), I accidentally permanently deleted my Figma workspace (I was the sole member). This action also deleted a critical project file I had been working on for dozens of hours.I contacted Figma Support less than 10 minutes after the deletion with all details (file name, URL, deletion time, screenshots) and asked if it could be restored from backups. I also paused all activity in my account (including drafts) to avoid polluting logs or backups.I understand this kind of restoration is not standard, but I’ve read that it can sometimes be possible if reported quickly. The backup window might soon close, so I’m hoping to get advice from the community:Has anyone successfully had a file restored after a permanent workspace deletion? Any tips to ensure the request is escalated to the right technical team as quickly as possible? Thank you for any help!

Hello Team, Could you please inform me about the maximum number of users that can be added to a Figma prototype file with view access? Thank you.

I would like to know if it’s possible from the REST API to extract a fill background image without His childrens infront : In figma I have :  Im able to extract : But I want to have :   

I’ve been stuck on a prototyping issue and wondering if I could get some help. I have a “Share” dialog box with multiple tabs, and I want to keep a consistent background frame while switching between tabs and showing dropdowns.Right now, each dialog state is a separate instance outside the frame, which keeps things organized — but duplicating the background frame across all 16 states is making the file unnecessarily heavy.Is there a smart way to animate or switch between these dialog box states while maintaining a single, unified background frame? Ideally, I’d like to avoid duplicating elements just to preserve consistency.Appreciate any suggestions! 

I can see a Material font in my Figma app by default, but it doesn’t see to be the variable font version. I downloaded and installed the variable font version of the Google Material Icon, but I can’t seem to get it on the Figma app.I don’t see any controls to modify the weight, grade and optical size of the font in the Typography details or variable section.How do I get the variable font version of Google Material Icon in Figma?

Hello, I’m might not the only one trough this, but gradients from 100% to 0% opacity are incorrect from a color to another. It doesn’t behave like a web browser and it can be confusing. Here is an example roughly pasted from dev mode.

I’m trying to generate illustrations for a website. After creating one illustration and fine tuning it’s style, I’d like to create more illustrations in the same style. Unfortunately, repeating the prompt has led to new, inconsistent styles. Is there a way to create multiple illustrations using a consistent style?

Automatically linking color variables with text styles. Everytime i apply body(p), I want the color variable linked to it also to be applied. Any work around right now?

Hi all,  I think it could be a bug or I am missing something?  Please, advise.  I have a component called Rectangle with 4 variants (2 for grey and 2 for black). I also have two pages where that component is used. Initial setup is here.  There is an interaction on variants On Click - Change to...  When I play a prototype and on Screen 1 change the Rectangle variant to “small” and then go to screen 2 - i see Rectangle Small variant there as well, which i am not supposed to as Figma handles instances and their variants independently. Any advise on this please,  Thank you,Natasha

Hi all, First post here so bear with me.I am trying to create a template in figma buzz but finding the font keeps automatically changing when swapping between template heights (width is the same)I have set the template to instagram square (W1080 x H1080) and set the font size to 290.The font sits inside a full width auto layout of the frame so for any changes in width, the text should wrap. However whenever i change to instagram Portrait (W1080 x H1350) the font automatically changes size to 324.23. I can’t work out why as the width hasn’t changed in any way. Ive attached some screenshots of the before and after and was wondering if anyone has come across this and knows of a workaroundThanks in advance Instagram SquareInstagram square font size​​​Instagram Portrait (same width)Instagram Portrait font size 

I'm building a web with a make AI model. I'm a beginner, so I'm using more than 200 versions due to prompt abuse, which seems to be why the web development page is slowing down. Is there a way to delete the version?

não tenho disponível esse novo recurso de draw na minha barra de ferramentas, como faço? 

The web under development has become too slow in AI development. I think there are too many codes that have died of uselessness by adding and subtracting many functions. The user page has not slowed down much, but only AI development has slowed down, so is there a good way to improve this?

Hello everyone!I have the following situation:File #1: Contains many components whose instances are being used in the same file. Also this file contains several features that now need to be splited into separate files. File #2: A new file published as a library that contains all the newer version components from File #1.What I need now is to swap the instances in File #1 to use the components from the published library (File #2) instead of the local components in the same file. Is there a way to do this automatically? Doing it manually is becoming a nightmare. Thanks,Leandro
