How billing is calculated?

We are in Professional Team tier. My colleague registered and purchased 2 seats. After that he started learning the administration. He invited 3 more users for testing and we started understanding how viewer, viewer restricted and full seats work. These extra 3 users were active for some minutes and then they will be either deleted or set back to viewer resticted mode. If it stays this way till the end of the month, how many seats will we pay? 4? 1? 2?

Is there a way to identify if a node is truly visible?

I know there’s a visible property that tells you if the node itself is visible or hidden, but one or more parents could be hidden while the actual node is visible, so visible would be true on the actual node. Is there an easy way to see if a node is truly visible, because all of its parents are visible? Would prefer not to traverse the node tree, as this seems inefficient. Visible property: visible | Plugin API

Sharing file with external client

I am looking to share a file publicly so that an external client and their team members can jump in and edit the design without being included in my Figma team. They have their own Figma accounts and I don’t want to add them to my team, however the only way that seems to work is that they are added as a member with the ability to edit one file, even with “Anybody can edit” set in the sharing settings of the file. If they are not in the team then they are presented with a warning that they need to be upgraded, am I doing something wrong here?

Plugin not working after using right click pan feature

In the Figma app, when we use the new feature of pan on right-click while a plugin is opened, it stops working until we switch tabs or right-click on the canvas. I don’t know if it is counted as a bug, but it should be fixed asap!

Land the site

So I have designed in Figma whole site and it works, its simple with pictures gif and couple buttons, simple transitions. Can I upload that on web directly from Figma? Or do I have to send to something like Framer or webflow etc. When I send it to framer I have to establish again button connections links and every connection/interaction I already done in Figma… solution build again in Framer?

UI3 Feedback

This doesn’t need discussion as it’s only meant as my personal opinion which has no basis other than my personal likings. Resetting a component, is something i use a lot and now that it is burried i have to spend more time. I would want here to either have some shortcuts attached to it somewhere more prominently. I would love to have the ability to reorder the panels (Position, Auto Layout, Appearance, Fill, Effect) similar to how i can do this in adobe programs. The middle-bottom toolbar is positioned prominently and i never use it. I would prefer if I could hide it or position it somewhere else. (top left, or top right, etc) I don’t understand the value of having padding/margin around the sidebar. It feels so annoying. I would prefer if i could allow the sidebar to be used more effectively, especially given the fact that i work on a laptop and my screen size is low. Overall, i do not like the UI3. I know i can switch back to the old UI for the moment.

Default Properties lost between sessions

If i set the color of an Arrow to red and the set this as the “default properties” in the main menu → Edit → Set Default Properties, then all new arrows draw will be red, which is great. However, if I close the session and re-open the figma, the default properties are lost and the default black arrow is drawn for all new arrows… Is this a bug, or am i missing something in order to maintain the default properties between sessions?

Right Side Design panel has disappeared

My right side panel has disappeared. I looked at a post with the same title; the recommendation was to use "command " or “command .” but the right panel is still missing (the left panel shows/hides with those commands, which I already know about). I’m wondering if I accidentally pressed some combination of keys and now my right panel went on a permanent vacation?! Please, Help? Thank you!

Copy/paste group.

Hi. I have a design across multiple pages. Say, I want to copy group buttons made from multiple rectangles and text on top of those rectangles from Page1 to Page2, but sometimes only text get copied if lucky. For some reason group cannot be copied. I am 100% sure this was possible before, because that is how I done my design about half a year back. Now I would like to amend it, but doesn’t work. Thank you.

Decision on component structure for news articles in component library

Problems moving layers to the bottom of the sidebar in the Design Editor

I want to move layers / content further away In the old UI, when I moved the content to the sidebar, the canvas already started scrolling, but in the new UI, below the sidebar is the canvas, which means that I have to move the content to the edge of the screen before the canvas scrolls. This is a little more troublesome than before. My idea: Start scrolling the canvas when a cursor / drag point is detected to the sidebar, or retract the sidebar to the edge of the screen when a drag object is detected

Going crazy with prototype links dying and stakeholders feedback, help!

Hello Figma community, I need your help 🙂 My workflow consist on: 1 page called “workspace” where I make my designs. 1 page called presentations, where I paste the last version of the design, use it for my design walkthroughs with stakeholders and this where the prototype link I share with stakeholders lives, so they can provide their feedback using comments. Currently I’m facing the following problem with the workflow: I take stakeholder feedback and apply it to the designs under “workspace”. Once I’m done, I delete the old version under “presentations” and paste the updated designs there. This causes that the prototype link I shared with stakeholder stop working. What I would like is to achieve is: have 2 spaces, one for my work, other to share with stakeholders so they can provide feedback. It might be that stakeholders aren’t done providing feedback, so I need a different place to start working (workspace) so I’m not blocked. I want to provide just once prototype link

Add Dev ressources in a branch

Hey, can anyone explain the reason, why it is not possible to add dev resource in branches? It seems to be only available in the master, which feels weird. More context: In our case working with branches means the work that is reviewed before a merge must be complete so adding the correct dev resources is very likely part of review processes but the way its currently provided is for unknown reasons prohibited. Is that a technical limitation? Why is this the case? The fix would just be to add the plus button while working in branches, someone must have actively removed it to be unavailable in branches?

How can I use a branch of a Library file in design files

Is there a way to test branches of a library file in other design files that are now connected to the Master? I would like to test the cascading of changes in the branch, but there seems to be no other way than make a copy of the Library, publish that as a new library and do a library swap. Any suggestions?

I would like to ask if it is possible to switch Figma accounts

The company renews the Figma account on a yearly basis. I paid for Professional, but the employee left the company after using it for about 3 months. Another new employee has joined the company, and I would like to ask if there is a way to remove the Professional privileges from the existing employee’s account and grant the privileges to the new employee so that they can continue to use the account.

Typography Scaling with Shift Key

Hey Figpeeps! Fledging user here 😅. I am unable to fix this bug/issue with increasing type size using shift. Until now, Figma would automagically increase font size by following a type ramp when I pressed Shift + ↑or↓ (for example 16 would to scale up to 24, 36, 48 etc.) After reinstalling the program, this scaling isn’t available. The Shift + ↑or↓ ramps by increments of 10 (16 would go up to 26, 36, 46 and so on) Any idea what’s going on here? Any thoughts & insights are genuinely appreciated. Thank you! 💛

Performance is unbearable

I Dunno what is happening, but happened very fast. Suddenly, me and the team cannot work anymore. We checked for memory usage, and that is not a problem. I’m afraid the problem is on the libraries itself, because even if I create a new file, the performance is so problematic it is impossible to work. I cannot strech a component that the computer just freezes for sometimes over 30 seconds. I have the latest macbook pro m3, so that isnt an issue. I really need someone from Figma to check my case asap cause it has become impossible to work and we’re missing deadlines because of this.
