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? 

Hi everyone,I'm currently working on a UI mockup for a project related to Script Bot, and I'm running into some layout behavior that I can't quite figure out.I have a set of components (like navigation cards and action buttons) inside a container using Auto Layout. When I simulate state changes (like expanding or collapsing a section of the Script Bot APK UI), the entire frame seems to jump or flicker briefly especially when Smart Animate is applied.This doesn’t happen when I use “Instant” transitions combined with “Preserve scroll position,” but my goal is to achieve a smooth Smart Animate effect without breaking the scroll or causing jumpy behavior.Has anyone here run into something similar when prototyping APK-related interfaces? Any tips for keeping the scroll position stable when working with expanding elements and animation? : https://soundcloud.com/heyapks1/download-script-bot-apk-v300-offcial-free-for-android-version-2025 Thanks in advance!

I can't find the alignment settings when using Auto Layout's grid mode,how can I set an object to align to the left, top, or bottom? 

I’m trying to let a free user collaborate. What should I do from this point onwards? Pretty new to the collaboration features on Figma and I am a part of my school’s plan. The collaborator is not a part of my school, and they currently still cannot edit the Figjam even though it is marked as “can edit.”

Hello people! There are 2 things happening on my prototype window with Chrome. As you can see there’s now black margins at the sides of the prototype, before that, it looked like a normal site, like full size of the screen, of course I explored the setting button up right, nothing did,  I don’t know maybe some colleague of mine touched some option that he shouldn’t. And the other thing is the  dark bottom nav bar to go throught “frame” by “frame” now it’s gone, keyboard doesnt work, neither can’t remember if I changed something, really dont know and wanna fix all this. Any help please?   

Hello! I’m trying to have these over flow frames scrolling horizontally within a set boundaries, however it seems to scroll into the full page. I wanted to know what I should do to make sure that the scrolling only stays in the red lined boundaries? The scroll behavior for the scrolling frame is position: scroll with parent ; overflow: horizontal. The individual frames inside that are scrolling has scroll behavior position: scroll with parent Thank you!

I want to have an object increase in size. I also want it to move. I have one component that describes the change in size, and another component describing its movement. The latter is an empty frame, which I (intended to) put an instance of the former object inside.I have tried eight hundred and fifty three thousand ways to get this to work, but it appears to be literally impossible. I’ve tried it with components inside each other, instances inside of instances, components inside of instances inside of objects inside of instances being triggered by variables that are themselves triggered by componenets of instances within an instance’s compnent’s variable’s object’s variable’s instance’s instance. None of it works. Nothing.“Just make it one componenent” - I don’t want the movement and the change in size to have the same animation. I need them to follow different beziers.And a bonus round - I’m now stuck on simply trying to make a button that triggers an animation. I literally just want

HI,I placed an MP4 inside of a frame at 100% opacity and placed it in the bottom layer of my initial frame in my prototype. I set the interactions to “Autoplay” and “loop” and it plays fine upon initiating the prototype but when you click into the next frame, the music file, of course stops playing. I tired to copy/paste the same frame into each of the slides/frame and set it to “Autoplay” and “loop”, but it’s not working. Any ideas? Thank you,Chris

How to convert Figma make AI generated code to React Native..? Is that even possible to convert FIGMA MAKE AI to React Native or Flutter which is android mobile application.!

I was following this video tutorial and it seemed to have exactly what I needed. However, now that Figma has been updated to a new UI, this section of the tutorial no longer applies. How can I do this in the latest version of Figma? Figma YouTube Link Simply changing the variant’s appearance with a Boolean value is not a viable solution right now.

I have a 2Mb, 27sec mp4 video which I’d like to display in the ad reel at the top of a plugin page. I can upload the video, I can play the video in the preview, I can choose what order the video comes in the carousel but when I hit save, the video is not presented in the carousel. I have tried different formats (mov, different encoders) to no luck. Please can someone suggest a fix? https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1397952939678206595

Our team were trying to export assets for us what we are going to use in a game engine. However discovered whenever we export gradient image as png, it has lot of transparent pixels. It doesnt happen with flat color or if we duplicate the image 2 times and apply the same gradient although i dont think that should be the right solusion. Any fix or guess?

I use some components in footer, that have two states: collapsed and expanded. All components and the main frame have Auto Layout. When I click on the collapsed component in the prototype the screen jumps up and down before the list expands with animation. As I understand, the problem is connected to constraints of the contents. When I choose Smart Animation, I can’t set checkbox “Preserve scroll position”, because there is no checkboxes. When I choose “Instant” and choose the “Preserve scroll position” option everything works well. But I want to do it with animation. drive.google.com

Hello,my team was suddenly changed to an education plan. I don't remember that I would change it.Can I ask, how to change it? Or it would be best if I could keep it, because I am a student, but right now, I graduated high school, and in two months, I will attend college, so "currently", I am not a student. Plus I am from the Czech Republic, and neither my high school or college is on the list, and I don't know which proofs I should send.Thanks for the help.

При нажатии на объект, перестала работать правая кнопка мыши (тач на маке) — не показывает контекстное меню. Во всех других программах и в самой фигме везде работает, кроме драфта. Как можно исправить?

Hello people Is there any smart way of refactoring components? Some context here: we’re about to give the design a boost and this will change many of the components in the library. The smartest way would be if the components are build with only tokens/variables but they are not so i need to find another way. I would love to do it this way: Build a Button_new with the new look so you can manually change it to that component (or make a property for it true/false) Change the old button with the new buttonThe problem i have with it that when i do that (by changing its name) the change doesn’t go through the component on my canvas. Anyone can help?

can I copy path from photoshop and paste in figma

code of selected element is not visible

Hi all, I’ve been running into a scroll position issue since state management was introduced. I have a page with various buttons, and when selected, opens an overlay. These overlays have scrollable content on them, allowing the user to view the content. If the content has been scrolled and the overlay closed, when reopening the overlay the scroll position hasn’t been reset. I have the option to ‘reset scroll position’ on the button-to-overlay interaction, but this resets the main page and there is no 'reset scroll position on the ‘close overlay’ menu interaction. I ran a test there the overlay was treated as a new page (so ‘navigate to’ instead of ‘open overlay’) and the ‘back’ interaction on the overlay has the option to reset and behaves as expected. What am I doing wrong? I know the state management setup indicates that layers need to be named the same, but this is to maintain scroll position. I need to reset the scroll position on the overlay once it has been closed. Thanks

My overlay disappears when I set a Boolean to false on a different object. I have a “more” icon on a page. When that icon is clicked is opens an inline action menu by setting the action menu visible boolean to “true”. On the inline action menu, when clicked it opens an overlay. I have two “Click” actions on the inline actions menu. One to open the overlay and a second to reset the inline action menu visible boolean to “false”, to hide the action menu. That second action hides the menu and the overlay. That is a bug. Anyone else see this???  

Zscaler is blocking Figma desktop application in the office network. But the same is accessible through browser in the same network. I tried adjusting the registry settings suggested in the Figma help center. But unfortunately it didn't work. Even the IT team is not able to figure out the issue. Please help to resolve this. Any suggested settings or adjustments need to be done? 

Hi,I thought drafts were private until you put them in a team or share with someone.I realized that every time i create a draft, who can access section is “Anyone in my team” by default.What does that mean? Do i have to change my drafts to “only me”  every time i create a draft? So confusing. Thank you

Hello, We are using Components. We have create Page 1 and added all our master components in one section.Now, we want to create a duplicate of that page. The problem is that our Components are still linked on the components on Page 1 instead of Page 2. Is there a way to automatically relink them based on the Components that exist on the same page?

I'm developing an image-related plugin for Figma. Since this plugin allows users to upload many images at once, the speed of loading images is crucial. When there are many images on the canvas, the images are loading slowly. My plugin can generate images in bulk - it can instantly create over 100 images and potentially generate more than 1000 images. I anticipate this could be inconvenient when other people join or when someone closes and reopens the document, as these images would load slowly.In my testing, I tried reducing the image size itself and decreasing the image file size before placing them on the canvas, but this didn't significantly reduce the time it takes to load the images.Is there any API, setting, or option available in Figma plugins that can help speed up the loading of images that are already placed on the Figma canvas?
