Hello Everyone / Figma Support Team! Could you please tell me why the “Push” (along some other options) are grayed-out in the Interaction drop-down menu? I tried changing Overlay to Top-Left, Manual, But “Push” keeps being grayed-out for no reason… 🙏🏾 Thank you in advance for your kind help / workaround!

Hello,  I want to request for the Figma AI Feature. 

Hey All, I am new to figma and i am struggling with the smart animation prototyping. When frames are previewed separately it will show properly but if i put that frame in any mobile device frame, when i click preview, the screen goes black and animation attach top of the device. I attached the preview of it. Anyone can help me what may be the issue and how to resolve it? Greatly appreciate your help here 😊 

Hi Folks, Thanks in advance for helping out. I’m super happy with the newly released Figma slides. It perfectly integrates with what we need and it works like a charm. We are using some glass effects in our deck, which are built with blur effect. However when exporting to PDF, they are transparant again. Who knows what to do?

I will do my best to explain this current situation in step-by-step detail; I’m really hoping someone can provide a clear workaround to the problem ...We hired a third-party designer via contract to create mockups for a web app our company is building; these mockups were being designed in the third-party designer’s Figma account. Several of us were given view/edit access to the files that were all being housed in a single Master File (folder?) where this third-party designer was ‘Project Owner’ …The contract recently came to an end, so we wanted to move every single file sitting in this third-party’s Master File/Folder, to our own organization’s internal Figma account. This way, we avoid needing to access the files in this third-party’s Figma who would no longer be working with us moving forwardI believe the proper way to handle this, would’ve been for the third-party designer (Project Owner) to use the ‘Transfer’ function to transfer everything over to our own Figma that they would no

Hi all!I am trying to set up a small variable system with responsive behavior for my team. The feature with the adaptive modes is really interesting.In this example, I am trying to add padding to the desktop 'Infocard'. As you can see, it works within the frames, so no matter where I drop the component, Figma automatically uses the correct component instance.The problem: In the Infocard component itself, I can assign the correct mode to each instance via the Appearance panel, but this breaks the automatic ‘drag-and-drop’ functionality.  Variables. Everything works in the mobile and desktop frame. But not the ‘Infocard’ componentI could change it here in the appearance panel, but then the responsive modes won’t work 

Hello ​@Celine_Figma Thanks for the clarifications. Much appreciated.I have a question. I manually uploaded an image to a Figma file. After selecting the uploaded image, I noticed that clicking on the image name(image.png in this case) in the right panel of the Figma UI (refer to the attached screenshot) opens the image in a new tab.The URL of this image (opened in the new tab) is accessible without requiring login. Does this mean that images uploaded to Figma are publicly accessible? Or, Am I missing anything here?   

I’m trying to assign a variable to a component instance so that I can switch instances when clicking. I’m trying to learn how to use variables to create a less intensive way to setup prototypes that have a lot of ‘buttons’ that switch between content. With the screenshot I’ll share, I have it manually rigged up so clicking the pill button on the left panel changes it’s state to selected, makes the clicked pill become selected, and changes the content panel on the right with the related text.I looked over a few videos and I feel like I could could be done similarly to what’s done in this video, where clicking the color box changes the selected alien character. Just replacing the color box with my pill buttons and the alien with my text. But I’m having trouble seeing how to easily assign the variable to my selection.How might I be able to do this without manually rigging up a ton of prototype connections? By the way this is my own personal project not actual hired work for the agency sho

Howdy, I’ve been running into an issue/bug where components that have variant properties which are bound to a variable with multiple modes are not rendering correctly on load or after edits. This seems to happen most often with instances of components that have multiple levels of nested components. It’s a pretty specific use case, but I happen to run into it frequently. You can see this here. Upon opening the design file, often the instance nested components fail to render properly. (in this example, the numbers in the colored boxes in the instance section often do not appear until you select them). Also, if you change the color of the text in the “content” component, it fails to update correctly in all of the instances below. I’ve been able to reproduce this on a couple of different design files and with several of my teammates.

Hi there, i am super curious about the Figma AI features. I am waiting for the features for a few months now also get the Figma AI features (even created multiple accounts increase the chance to get access).  Is there something or a website to sign up for some kind of beta beta version of Figma AI. Would be open to give feedback. 

I want to allow a few members of my design team to add components to a file but restrict them from publishing it. I’d like to keep publishing control limited to specific team members. Is this currently possible in Figma?

Is anybody else getting the following error when they try and use the design mode in Figma Slides:-Figma slides design mode requires a Figma design planI am logged in on an account that has a design plan seat. and I can‘t understand what dose  “full seat” mean in your help center.

Hello. i am from Bangladesh currently a student in Computer Science and today I got an email about educational plan in Figma  and while completing the form my university doesn’t appear in higher education dropdown. I am currently making a project for my university and I need the prototype interaction for my project but as a free user i can’t do that. Can i add my university ?

I'm working on a website design in Figma and have a full-screen image placed below a navigation bar. When I resize the window, the image scales correctly but gets cut off at the bottom, as if there's an invisible limit. I've already made the page longer, but the issue persists. How can I fix this so the full image is always visible when scaling?Would appreciate any help!Gif ExampleIn the following example you can see that when I drag the window to the right to enlarge the window, the image doesn't scale with it on the bottom, almost like there is an invisable limit like stated above.

Hi guys,Anyone know why these thick borders appear inside the main frame? Also, did the forum change? What was wrong with the old one?Thanks  

Hey everyone,  I’m making a Facebook Group banner for a client. After using the Facebook banner frame, when I upload the banner it still appears blurry. I’ve tried exporting it as .png and .jpg, at 1x-4x, and changing the size of the frame while keeping the same aspect ratio (16:9).From the research I’ve done, the reason this is happening is because the aspect ratio or size of the actual exported image is incorrect.Has anybody been able to export a Facebook banner and get it to not appear blurry? Or will I have to use a different platform. (Example of what the banner looks like. It could be worse, but it’s still unprofessional and I’d like it to be fixed.)Thanks!

Hi, After creating a button component and clicking on the text field to add the text property (under the text parameters), when I get to the main component, the variant doesn’t appear. When I and add a variant of the button, Figma doesn’t care about my text property, it reacts as if there is no “current variant”. After investigating many forums about this problem, the “variant” of the text property does not display when it is supposed to. I have tried so many things to get this right, starting from scratch, updating Figma…, etc. I hope you can help!

I am creating a simple app as part of a school project to help users understand their HbA1c levels and what they mean for their health. HbA1c is a measure of average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, and it’s an important test for diagnosing diabetes and managing blood sugar.This app is designed to let users type in their HbA1c level, and based on what they enter, the app will provide information about their health:If the HbA1c is below 5.7%, the app will display a message saying their level is normal and they have no diabetes. If the HbA1c is between 5.7% and 6.4%, it will inform them that they are in the prediabetes range and should take steps to manage their health. If the HbA1c is 6.5% or higher, the app will indicate that it’s a sign of diabetes and recommend seeing a doctor for further guidance.My GoalAs a beginner in Figma, I’m using this project to learn more about app design and functionality. I’ve been experimenting with designing user-friendly screens and simulati

Hi everyone,My team has an Organisation account and we have 1 library file which we use to get all components. What is the best way to update components when 15 designers are working on it?I need a plan how to review, approve and update components without branching. Example: I have a card component, I assign 3 designers to work on a modification to it.They copy the component into their own file, detach it, make modification and send it back to me. I review all 3 and I select 1 version. Now, I go to main componet and need to make changes manually? There must be a better way?  All ideas are welcome!

Hi, As an animator it’s so frustrating seeing the lack of functionality for Lottie files compared to other packages like Flutter Flow. Animating in Figma is fine for most, but not for an animator, creating animation-heavy apps. I need After Effects Animation for character animations and other complex animations. I need Lottie files to play animations in Figma just once on splash screens etc. Seems so basic for a massive app like Figma… Please let us know if this is being looked at, otherwise, we will have to stop using Figma for creating apps. Thanks, Andrew.

I have a design system that uses 2 modes, and have recently added 7 more modes. They show properly in the Variables panel (now split between two Collections), but when I go to select them in the Variable Modes dropdown, I only see the initial 2. Do modes only register the first created Collection? If that theory holds true, it seems like my 9 mode example below should only show 1 mode in the dropdown, and it’s still showing the initial 2. My 2 mode structure:themes (collection){ theme1 (mode){...}, theme2 (mode){...}} My 9 mode structure:(For clarity, yes, theme2 moved from one collection to another below)themes (collection){ theme1 (mode){...}}variations (collection){ theme2 (mode){...}, theme3 (mode){...}, theme4 (mode){...}, theme5 (mode){...}, theme6 (mode){...}, theme7 (mode){...}, theme8 (mode){...}, theme9 (mode){...}}I’m using Token Studio to create the variables, but that doesn’t seem to have an impact on the result. Thank you!

I have made a dropbox with component sets and here is the screenshot:  As a newbie in figma… I want an interactive Next button so whenever the user clicks any of the Emirates or any of the cities the next button would appear or else it would remain hidden. Any Solutions?

I’m moving from Adobe XD over to Figma, and I find working with images rather awkward. I’m currently trying to scale an image up. I set the image treatment to “crop”, but when I attempt to scale the control points, nothing happens. I’m wondering if this is a bug? Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried to use function change to in the component but it’s not available. What did I do wrong?

I’ve created many web designs in Figma recently but suddenly in this sheet any text I paste (from my typical Apple Text Edit) is appearing as grey, ditto with the once white bullets because when I create a new bullet by hitting return on the sentence above it’s also grey? How do I set the default text to white? Thanks
