Hey,  I’m trying to export my frames as individual “pages”, I guess I’ll call them, so I can put them in my portfolio. I’ve made a PDF, but that’s not exactly the solution I’m seeking. LMK what y’all think! 

I have an auto layout frame where I’m trying to get the nav bar to fix position at the top of the frame. There is no option in prototyping like when fixing a nav bar in a normal frame. Is this not do-able or am I missing something? I’d also like to create a back to top button in a frame but that doesn’t seem to be possible either. Thanks!

It’s just.. unhelpful. I don’t know what the pinned file is anymore, and it’s worse when I have multiple files pinned because now I have to distinguish between multiple files with the same icon.  

I want a way or a plugin to add custom metadata/custom properties/custom attributes to Figma components.My goal is to design components like Button, ComboBox, Radio Button, Table, TextArea, and TextInput, and attach metadata to each.I need to fetch this metadata later using Figma’s GET API.The metadata can be Plain text or JSON as string and can be of any number (10/20/30)I tried using default component properties capability associating it with bunch of hidden text type, but when I create an instance of the component, the properties associated with hidden text don’t appear in the new instance.Any suggestions on how to achieve this or a pluging which can be used to achieve it would be very very helpful.

 Every time i [zoom in], the blue select rectangle appears, and when i try to zoom inside of a frame it shifts the items out of the frame.  So to put it simply; it detaches elements in frames, and groups elements that are not in frames. 

So I am trying to make a “like system”. When going between these two frames the state of the liked “Food” box should remain. I have both visibility and the status of the heart set up as variables. It does remember the state when moving from the first frame into the second, but not the second into the first. Meaning if I change the state in the second one it does not transfer back to the first, the first will stay how it was.  The food category is there on the second frame it is just not visible due to being tied to opacity. When you click it on the second frame it disappears, how I want it. I can send more images or try to explain better as well what I am trying to do. 

Hi, new to Figma here.I’m in a UI/UX course and we’re tasked with creating a site for a movie. We picked Toy Story, and I’m trying to create a frame with Hamm in which you click him, and a gold coin pops up with a review on the movie. If you click him again, the coin goes back in. Another click, and a coin pops up again, but with a different review.How do I make that happen? I have Hamm on the frame and I have a gold coin component with different variants created. In the first frame, Hamm has a small coin hidden behind him. On first click, I used smart animate to switch to the next frame, where the coin enlarges and comes up. On the second click on Hamm, I want the coin to return back to behind Hamm, and also switch to the next variant of the coin. So that on the third click on Hamm, another coin will pop up, but with a different text. Do I have to create a frame for each variant, or is there another way to make that happen? 

Hello guys,I’m having an issue with one of my component. I’m trying to make a button where the arrow below the text is taking the full width of the container (aka the text width).I thought it would’ve been a simple task but turns out it’s not working at all. Instead of the arrow stretching longer, it simply disappears for a moment and then reappears in the longer form.Both instance have the same layer names, the prototype is simply ‘While hovering’, smart animate, ease in and ease out, 300ms, nothing fancy.What am I not doing properly?https://imgur.com/a/jWWn5zb

Hi Figma community. I would like to know if there’s a possibility to make automative changelogs in figma that update automatically once there has been a change in the components (in our design system library) and that it can detect the type of change that has been done, the name of the component, date.If you know any plugin that can work for this please let me know!

I have master components in molecules and organisms, the problem is that we put multiple booleans for different rows for example and now we want to edit content them with AI or manually as group. Figma highlights the connected booleans but it does not allow to select them with one click, Does anyone know a way? I was surprised that double click on the boolean title did not select them. PS: Select all with same properties does not work, because it select all the columns as they are same component but used in different columns  

Hey there, im trying to fix a bug in my current Portfolio preparation. Ive used several frames that stay sticky at the top boarder and stack up on top of each other. However one components of the bottom layers stays clickable when hovering on that exact area of the frame even when it´s covered by the upper layers. I'll attach a short video to showcase the problem, you can find it via this retransfer link for the next 3 dayshttps://we.tl/t-XyGD6vKI3Oi hope somebody has a solution many many thanks already :)

Hello! I’m trying to create a scrollable map that also has a scrollable panel on the left hand side. The map is a large frame in the screen to I am able to scroll both directions making it scrollable and the left side panel is supposed to scroll up and down. However during the prototype, whenever I try to scroll the panel, it always scrolls the map layer instead and I can’t seem to find a fix for this. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or know what could be causing this? Thank you!

Hi there, quite new to Figma and have a question. Why is there a paragraph indent/empty space/tab before text in textbox? How to eliminate?Since there is no dropdown or extended view of Type, or Typography in the newest update I do not find any options to set paragraph indent. But my biggest problem right now is that it seams to be set in advance, and I don’t know what this empty space exactliy is and can’t seem to get rid of it. 

Good afternoon I am creating a filter bar where it is possible to choose (with checkboxes) 3 levels of difficulty and 3 types of surfaces, depending on the filters selected by the users should the cards of the items that don't correspond to the selected filters should disappear and only the cards that match the choice should remain visible. i was thinking of using boolean variables but it turned out to be too complex, do you have other suggestions on how to do it possibly using varables or conditionals?PS. i also thought about the possibility of using components but there would be too many solutions to develop. if you want to help me and have more details about the project contact me [by sending a private message]. Note: A community moderator edited this post on June 25, 2025 to remove personal information for privacy.

I just can’t develop anything with Figma Sites. It’s full of bugs! Scroll animations don’t work, transitioning layouts from desktop to mobile doesn’t work, text style breakpoints don’t work either — it’s a complete mess. Seriously: nothing works properly in Figma Sites, it’s unbelievable! Everything feels counterintuitive. For example: I tried designing a simple website. Since Figma supposedly mirrors the layout to mobile automatically, I thought it would work great — but it was a failure. When I change an element on the desktop version, it doesn’t reflect on mobile (even though I didn’t touch the mobile version). The grid system doesn’t work as expected either — elements just fall off the mobile screen instead of repositioning properly. It’s a shame. I also tried adding a scroll animation, but with no success: when I moved the X axis downward, the object went up — and vice versa. Sometimes it even disappeared from the desktop screen. Believe it or not: even the preview doesn’t work. W

Hi, ContextI’m helping a client design a product using the PrimeNG library. This dev library comes with a Figma library where I get components, styles, and variables. My problemI don’t know how to edit the values of variables configured in the design system so that all the components, variants, and their instances use my updated values. It’s a general question, but I’ll use one specific example below to illustrate. ExampleThe library has a component called inputtext uses padding variables set to 10.5 horizontally and 7 vertically. I can see these variables both in the properties panel in Figma and in the Token Studio for Figma plugin. (Note that I don’t know much about this plugin and I try to use it because PrimeNG suggests it for using their system and my client’s dev team is trying to leverage it.) Padding settings in for the inputtext component (Figma and Token Studio) Padding variables in the Variables window in Figma But I can’t seem to find how to edit these values. For instance

Is there any way to create a line with an automatic square in the end? (See screenshot)The dropdown only allows a very limited shape variety, and unfortunately none of them is a square, which I need on a daily basis. Thanks for your help in advance :)   

Guys i really tired of this. It’s just incredible. I just need my toolbar back 

Hi,I've created a menu item (component) with submenu items (nested component). The submenu items only show when hovering. When I try to add an interaction to the submenu item (link to a frame when clicking), it doesn't work. It only works when I set the menu item in hover state already, but thats not what I want of course.Does anyone know how I can fix this?Here's my file link:  

 Hi Community, I am trying to create a hamburger menu that when it expands - opens to show page titles it moves the content - page title / breadcrumbs  down underneath it any ideas !? Included some images of the interaction I am trying to recreate…  CLOSED OPEN

Hi, I’m working on prototyping my project and got a couple “mouse enter” and “mouse leave” interactions connected to variables. These are working properly but when I go to add animations, I am not seeing where I can add/change those. I tried adding a delay of 200ms to see if it would pop up then but still no luck. Not sure if animations are in a different place with the update? Or if animations don’t work with variables?

Whenever I use any text style plugin to automate the process, the fonts lose various OpenType features. For example, underlined variants of a font lose the underline and everything with disambiguation or monospace numerals gets reverted to its default state.If there is no way to do this through a plugin, is there at least a way I can select text and press a hotkey to instantly add it as a style? This would still take a while, but otherwise it would take hours to add all of the font styles I need.

I tried to look for it in View like ive seen online but the option is not therethis is my first time using the app what do i do
