Hi Figma team I’m a paying user on a Full-seat account, and I’ve installed the correct Figma Desktop App (version 125.10.8). Still, I do not see any AI / Make / MCP options in my sidebar or menus. I’ve confirmed that I’m not on an Education plan and that my seat type qualifies.Could you please check whether my account or workspace has been enabled for Figma AI / MCP features? I’d really appreciate activation so I can start using AI-powered design and the MCP server for integration with external tools (like Cursor).Thanks!Eleanor Broderick(redacted by the moderator due to PII)

I have a task that I’m looking to simplify as much as possible yet I'm struggling to find a solution. We are creating designs of static digital display banners, in lots of different sizes. I then have to present these in a Figma slide deck so that stakeholders can review. We create display banners in several different languages once that master deck has been approved.As the banner designs often require changes, I’d like to link them from a separate design file, so that when we make any changes, we can auto update them in the master deck. I know we can just make them into components and publish as a library etc. However, once we get one deck approved, I then have to do a new version for all the display banners to be done in a different language. So a new design file (for a different language) and a new deck, and I cannot see a way of doing this without basically starting the deck from scratch each time? I should point out that due to the shee

I am getting a message that says “Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show.” There is also a little icon next to the mode name in all of my files when selecting a palette mode. We use a single design system file that has all of our variables and the other palettes don’t seem to have the same problem. The error message is not very helpful and I have cleaned up all of the files and resolved everything I can find but this message never goes away. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? I have included a couple of images as an example of what I am seeing.

Hello, There is no option appearing under Settings → Accounts to delete the account, the last option appearing is “View history”! I’m using free version.

Hi, I’m trying to import some .fig files and am getting an “Internal error during import” message whenever I try to import them. I tried importing on both the desktop app and the browser version and get the same error each time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m suddenly unable to edit any text layers in Figma, across all files, pages, and even brand new files—affecting both my main and secondary accounts.This has been posted by someone else previously BUT the fix that worked for them does not work for me.Please help, I have clients waiting for amendments that I cannot do for them 

Now that you know...Does that bother you?

I can open the files on my laptop and tablet but it is not working on my pc.Help Please !! 

TABLES! FINALLYNow it’s time for shadow/gradient variables!

I wonder if it’s possible to turn a frame into a rectangle ? If it is, which other shapes can a frame be turned into ?When a rectangle is selected and frame selection is used, the rectangle is stored inside a frame. In that case, it’s intuitive to take the rectangle out of the frame. But I can’t figure it out when there’s a frame without any child layer.Appreciate any help.

I want to ask my company to request the early access to Figma Slots feature - https://www.figma.com/blog/schema-2025-design-systems-recap/#slots - but I’m afraid this will increase our subscription price. Can you tell me if this feature has an extra price or not?

We currently use Appetize in our organisation as our product to demo our native apps - link. Which is great way for designers to stay up to date with the latest changes in production. However, it doesn’t provide a more holistic way to look at your app, ie more like a flow chart view of all screens across the different navigation tiers. A full IA map or flow chart if you will with all screens mapped out in order to identify any pain points / gaps within user flows or identify opportunities for new features, new components and identify old legacy components, etc etc. Especially to build up a view of where new compoments are being adopted across the app as different development / product teams ship the new components. Especially when it comes to a rebrand, ie to get a view of what percentage of the app has adopted the new brand vs not.

Is the Apple Macbook Air 13 M4 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD slowing down when working with 20 layouts in the Figma compared to the Apple M4 Pro (14C CPU, 20C GPU), 24 GB RAM, 1024 GB SSD?Where is it more comfortable for you to work when comparing Air and Pro?

Hi allI have two modes set up in our variables — Mode A and Mode B. When I try to change the font style for Mode B in the edit panel it keeps applying the default values from Mode A.Mode A has a font size of 112 and Mode B is set to 72. However when I try to adjust the values for Mode B it’s stuck at 112. If I break the variable it then shows 72. This issue only seems to affect font size and line height.I’ve attached some screenshots for reference. Not sure if this is a bug or if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour.   

Very low performance speed in Figma Make when the thread reaches large sizes (currently 230+ iterations). All actions in the chat area occur with a significant delay (typing, scrolling, etc.), making it impossible to work.However, the prototype itself works well within FM.Has anyone encountered this? What could be the cause? Could it be related to the power of the laptop?

Currently, the only way to hide components from publishing is to individually right-click each one at a time from within the assets navigator. When this needs to be done for a large number of components, it is extremely tedious.It would be ideal to allow multiple components to be selected at once in the assets navigator such that right clicking the selection allows for the set of components to be hidden from publishing (or shown when publishing, if already hidden).

I thought it was just my bluetooth keyboard glitching out, but cmd + z is not undoing any action, nor is going to the Edit menu > Undo. Has anyone encountered this issue before? And if so, how did you resolve it?

When I copy any Figma frame using Cmd+Shift+C (copy as png), it gives a message “copied as png” but when I try to paste it in google slides, it doesn’t work. As if there’s nothing in the clipboard. Tried clearing the clipboard still doesn’t work.

I have hundreds of icons that need the same settings.Each icon variant has two properties: Fill (On, Off) and RTL (On, Off). Each icon variant needs to have these properties reset.Now I can only set each one manually.Help😭

 I submitted my figma plugin (BuddaAI) for review about a month ago and on the window that popped up, it said it should be reviewed within 5-10 business days. However I did not receive an email nor get it approved, and it’s been a bit over a month now. Would like to know how long I should expect to wait.. I have not been contacted or anything, and no update has been given. I have all the info setup and everything, confused on where i should go from here  FYI Use this questions as a template →  thank you in advance  :) 

I noticed in Schema 2025 that Extended Collections were built based upon Primitive (Source) tokens and didn’t utilise Semantic tokens. When building a multi-brand design system, is this best practice now with the introduction of Extended Collections?

I’m using AI image generation in beta and today I suddenly got rate limit exceeded. I tried Can I not use this anymore? Or will it reset the next day? I don’t know Has anyone else had the same experience?

Hey!I'm building my website with Figma Site, and after publishing I noticed that all my article content is missing on the live version even though everything appears correctly in the editor. Why does this happen, and how can I fix it?Another issue: the site loads very slowly when navigating between pages.Is there anything I can do to improve the loading performance?Thanks!

Hello,We want to export some parts of our projects, but our Team was downgraded. Now we have the problem that the team is locked due to having 3 projects on the Starter plan. Also copying/sharing is restricted, and even admins can't export or delete files.Is there any way to get the files, without again paying for a plan? (which in this case would only be used once to export the files to another Figma instance)Thank you Max
