I’m the admin of my workspace with the Professional plan, and I have a collab seat. How can I share a draft with viewing rights with my client, without having to upgrade to a full seat? Whenever I click the share button, I see the dialogue that I’m about to upgrade to a full seat. I even already upgraded by accident, which was annoying as it incurred extra cost for something I don’t need). On the free plan I’m able to share drafts without problem. Why isn’t that possible on the Professional plan? Here’s a screenshot of the dialogue that I get whenever I click the share button.  Would really appreciate some help with this, as it’s stated in the docs, that sharing designs with viewing rights should definitely be possible without upgrading the seat.  

Hello Figma friends,I am working on a prototype and having trouble making the 'Cancel' button in the final mockup to navigate to the tab where the Search entry point started from. I've tried using the 'Conditional' Action but nothing works.  Any kind advice are appreciated!!-----Figma file for testing:  

How can I copy frames created in Figma Make to Figma Design?

I am using theming.  I am creating a theme for each one of my brands.  One of my brands site background color is not a solid hex, however it is a linear gradient.  I am not seeing any way to do that within the variables.  Is that possible?

Hi everyone! Here is my setup:I have a main icon component that has all the sizes and the colors available.  There is an instance property on the main icon component where designers can select which icon they want (basically a nested component)  The nested icon component that is selected changes size and color depending on the settings of the main component Problem:We are adopting a new icon library I went into the icons that already exist and replaced the .svgs  I created new icons  Now all the instances of icon are not obeying the color property set in the parent and need to manually reset and reconfigured. This is hugely manual and annoying... is there something I can do to avoid all this effort, and why is this happening?

I’m taking a Figma class and in the video there are 2 things regarding ‘horizontal padding’ that are inconsistent with how my design is acting compared to the instructors. In the top left I can’t select the ‘Distribute horizontal spacing’ When I add horizontal padding to a group of components, it shifts them to the right, while and doesn’t add the correct padding on the left and right side of the cards which should push them 24 pixels inside of the parent frame.

Dear Figma Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request access to Figma First Draft. As a user currently on the free plan, I am very interested in exploring this feature to enhance my design workflow and bring more creativity and efficiency to my projects.I believe First Draft could be a valuable tool in helping me generate ideas and iterate faster, especially as I work on solo and collaborative design tasks. I’m eager to test its capabilities and provide feedback that could contribute to its development.Thank you for considering my request. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to try out First Draft and see how it can support my design process.Best regards,Mario

I upgraded to a Figma education plan, and while I am a current student, I do not plan on using Figma anymore and would like to cancel in advance, non-paid users cannot contact support.

When designing for the web, I often use effects like background blur, blend modes, or advanced layering techniques. However, not all of these are fully supported across all browsers or devices. I’d like to know if Figma has any tools, plugins, or best practices to help flag these kinds of compatibility issues early in the design process — or if this kind of consideration needs to be managed entirely outside of Figma.Any tips or workflows from others dealing with this would be appreciated.

Hi,I have lost my most recent and the most important file on Figma and I can’t find the file in any of my projects section or in the deleted section. It just disappeared completely.I am the sole owner and editer for that file.It wasn’t a file in a team and it wasn’t in the deleted section either. I didn’t delete the file. I think maybe a bug in the “drafts to move” update on Figma, which I clicked a few days/weeks ago. Today when I launched my figma, it briefly told me the file transfer is still in progress? but then there’s nothing. And I have checked my emails to see if there are any teams deleted and nothing there too. Can the backend see or have the names of all the design files I created, deleted or moved somewhere. Maybe that can help what happened to the file. Again, it was my most recent created and edited file.I really needed that file, it contains all my works from my last company that laid me off a few months ago. Please help.

Hi, I’ve been trying to recreate a commercial tartan pattern for myself trough Figma, and though it looks almost okay, the spacing in between the horizontal lines below (created by a clipping layer) always seems to be uneven.The solid squares in the center look almost rectangular due to the clipping mask, the white squares in the corner end up being actually rectangular, despite all white borders being equally wide, and the spacing in the bottom white stripes are closer together in the middle. I know it must be caused by either ratios or my clipping layer, but I’m not sure which math is required to make a perfect square tile. Frame/tile size: 2250 pxPurple stripe: 306.8 px wideWhite stripe: 41.11 px wideClipping mask stripe: 10.2 px wide The entire pattern is created by making all vertical stripes first, then duplicating that layer and rotating it by 90 degrees, and then appying the striped clipping mask in between the vertical and horizontal layers The reason I’m using Figma is becaus

Hi everyone,I'm working with a Figma Make file that's based on the Tailwind CSS library. I'm looking to customize some of the default Tailwind styles directly within Figma Make to match our specific brand guidelines, and I'd love to hear your insights on the best way to approach this. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to Modify color palettes.For example, changing the  blue-500  to a specific brand blue, or adding new brand-specific color variations while maintaining the Tailwind naming conventions if possible.

In prototype mode, the hover effect (“while hovering”) sticks and does not disappear after hovering over an element. As a result, when hovering over several objects, all hover effects remain on the screen. What is the bug? : worried: Closing and reopening the prototype helps solve the problem. But after some time, the bug may appear again. It looks like some kind of memory problem, in general, prototypes and files take a long time to load and sometimes slow down. It’s very unpleasant to work. In Figma via macOS app

Good afternoon)) Pop-up is configured in prototype. When you hover over the buttons at the bottom, the pop-up closes, although there is a Close button at the top right. How to remove the pop-up closure. Also, one of the frames with information inside the pop-up is hidden. How can I fix this?

Hello community, I am currently testing out how publishing variables, styles and components works in Figma and I am wondering if there are any tools that the community has built for better managing the publications of these features. I currently need to go through a large amount of pages that might have assets from remote libraries and I need to hide these assets from publishing.  Currently the publish modal window offers a pinpoint / locate button for finding variants that have conflicting property values but it does not offer a pinpoint/locate button for jumping to a component that is in the list of components to be published. It also does not tag or identify any components as being part of a local library or a remote library. Furthermore, the publish modal window offers the option to right click on a component to view a popup selector that offers to hide the component from publishing. When clicking on the popup to confirm the hide from publishing option the listed component jumps to

The component works fine on mobile and tablet screen sizes, but once it’s scaled to desktop the third slide wont work.I’ve redone this one a couple of times but can’t figure out what’s wrong 

Hi, I’m quite new to Figma and i don’t know what to do. Previously this had never happened. How can I fix it? I need that animation as soon as possible, since my deadline is close. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to bulk delete all the number in the layer name with rename layer feature?  

Hi,I was using your education plan with my edu email address. I am graduating and I have to cancel my education email address as my school wanted. What will happen to my account? What should I do so that I don’t lose my projects and files? Thanks for the help.

Hello Figma Team,I accidentally purchased 2 additional Dev seat accounts and was charged accordingly. I would like to request a refund for this accidental charge.Could you please let me know if a refund would be possible in this case?Thank you very much for your support.

Hey community! I am currently trying a simple operation of bulk-changing a property of the first subcomponent in a master component A. The master component has many variants always containing 1 instance of other components, which are built up with the same “architecture”. (Need to do this because when selecting them, the exposed nested values are not available on the right). My code always throws the error that its failing to set the PROPERTY. It’s weird since in the console I can see that all the values are available, it just struggles to assign it?Perhaps I am missing something trivial, since I barely code anymore... const NEW_VALUE = "NEWVAL"; // Set your target valueconst selection = figma.currentPage.selection.filter(node => node.type === "INSTANCE");if (selection.length === 0) { figma.notify("Select instances of the master component A."); figma.closePlugin();} else { selection.forEach(instance => { if (instance.type === "INSTANCE") { // Find the first nested inst

I’m trying to create a Boolean Property on my “Icon” layer inside a button Component, but when I click on the Icon layer, the Layer section in the RIGHT PANEL does not show up. (see screenshot). To be clear, I’m not talking about the left Layers panel. I mean the Layer: Passthrough section in the right panel. When I even just create a basic shape (not a component) in my frame, I still don’t see the Layer section in the RIGHT PANEL, why??

Using Figma under Windows.I have to review a figma design my designer created. There are many layers.I would like to view one layer.  Is there any way I can Zoom to it after selecting it?  It seems I have to hunt and zoom all around the screen to finally look at something.  Figma doesn’t seem to work as a collaborative tool. Is there a save button for this topic/ post?  I only see SEND. Send it where?
