Very new to Figma so need some help figuring this out! I am trying to create a page where you hover over a section of a floorplan and the corresponding text changes colour, along with that section of the floorplan (see images). I’m struggling as I know you can’t create two hover actions at once. Is there a way to do this using variables/styles? Or is there a better way to do this?

we need figpal? anyone here use figpal?

Can I file created by an educational team, be edited by a professional account? even past the days of verification for an educational account?

Hi I have a prototype that I would like to embed to a website, my question is it possible to remove or disable the figma / project links at the top & bottom of the embed?

Hi,On right sidebar, Effect styles category, I see a storm icon between drop shadow icon.I only have drop shadows in my effect styles, can you explain me why I have a storm icon ?  

Where did the option to apply a number variable for stroke weight go after the big update? Was using it just last week, now it’s not there anymore, not hovering the field, not right-clicking. 

I created a component with a container that has the height set to “hug content,” with top and bottom padding. Inside the container, there’s an instance that should adjust the height, causing the parent component to resize based on the content. The component works as expected, but when I use an instance of this component, the height becomes fixed and I can’t adjust it. The only way to make it work is by detaching the instance. What am I doing wrong here? Is this the intended behavior, or should the height be adjustable without detaching the instance?I created a screencast so it is easier to understand the issuethanks in advance 

I am a beginner, please recommend good Figma beginner tutorials to me, thank you.😀

Hello All!I work as a Graphic / UI designer within a team of Software developers and we are considering integrating Crank Storyboard into our Design / Development work flow.https://blog.cranksoftware.com/how-to-import-figma-design-files-into-storyboardAs this is a new piece of software to me I was wondering if anyone in the Figma community has had experience using Crank alongside Figma and used Cranks import tool to import your designs into Storyboard?If anyone has had first-hand experience using Crank Storyboard and integrated this software into your Design/Development workflow, I would love to hear what you think of the software and how it has benefited your workflow / design process.

Hey,On my desktop, my layout has changed to this,  rather than the traditional looks and feels. I probably have mashed some keys together by mistake and something has triggered this.Any advise on how to revert this?  

Hey community I’m really feeling overwhelmed by all these new features and products. As an early adopter and savvy designer who is always looking for an edge, I’m struggling to understand who Figma is targeting with this latest offering. How are we supposed to find the time to keep up with all these changes and their impact on our daily work? Figma needs to do a better job of guiding us through their vision of the entire toolchain. It’s ultimately us senior designers who will be recommending these products to the business. My team, for example, is so busy that we can barely manage to keep up with Figma Classic, let alone all the other tools. Its clear that its an aggressive approach to go after competitors but at what cost?Stay FrostyJim

I'm trying to place my dropdown above the hero section image, but it's not working in the prototype. Can someone help me figure out how to fix it?

Hi, I'm a frontend developer using Figma.We’re facing an issue with file permissions:One of our designers originally created a file in their personal Drafts and then transferred ownership to me. I used to have “can edit” access, but after becoming the owner, I now see the following message:"This person's seat needs to be updated for them to be able to edit this file type."The Share button is also disabled, and I can no longer edit the file, even though I'm the owner.We’re currently on the Starter Plan, and since this is a company account, it's difficult for us to upgrade to a paid plan at the moment.What options do I have to resolve this situation without upgrading to a paid plan?Is it possible to transfer ownership back to the original designer or regain edit access in some other way?Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m struggling with the layout option not available in the app but visible in the browser. It’s very frustrating and I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I restarted both app and computer more than once. Thank you in advance. 

A similar query was posted by ​@paulBL. But the solution was not clear and thread was closed.can anyone help me with this?Error: cannot create app. One or more forms are missing data cards. In Figma, add data cards to your forms, then try converting again.Designed UI for reference:

Figma removed window.figma from all pages in view-only mode on March 19, 2024.Shortly after, I shared a community post here, as well as on Hacker News and Twitter, which drew some attention. Figma responded both here and on Twitter, stating that the removal was unintentional and that they planned to restore the API “in the coming weeks.” Two weeks later, they revised the timeline, saying the fix would be rolled out “in the next few months.”But it’s now been 14 months, and window.figma is still unavailable. Figma has stopped responding to any follow-ups.As a Figma user, I find this level of disregard unacceptable. You made a clear public promise to the community, then quietly abandoned it. It’s hard not to suspect that the original response was just a stalling tactic to defuse backlash and buy time.

Watching the “Config 2025” sites looked interesting.  About me i’m a tester, but watching other videos from some YouTubers, they got in and started showing the code generated for the browser. YUK YUK YUK!   Or should i say <div><<div><div>  It is nothing but a sea of <div>.  Will be 100% unusable or an extreme pain in the (what we sit on),  Not a minor pain but essentially as bad as one could ever make it, not to mention absolutely no semantic rules which any accessible site would be expected to have to make the site usable…   Just seems you are effectively giving every accessible user a big middle finger…  Might be i’m assuming too much but you all are away the sites you expect people will need to use will be as difficult as you can make it.   

This is a recent issue with my design system, the font weight changing back to regular when the variables were set to Heavy, but when I try to edit the text, it jump back to Heavy, but it will changing back to regular when I come back to the page next day. anyone facing the same issue? it works fine before. when I not touching it When I editing the text

Hi I have a typography system made in Figma with 4 breakpoints, I am using it in figma sites setting the context per page breakpoint, is rezising in some screens but in other screens not, there is no visible reason, some of you had a similar issue?

I have an element in an auto layout and my layout is set to “hug” but when I mouse to my tool panel to use the width or height box there is a senseless mouse hover that changes the word “hug” to the pixel value. what the heck? First, the setting is to “hug”, Pah-lease, Leave my settings alone and stop changing information to something I didn’t ask for...Second, it’s that kind of micro friction several of us are complaining about.Third, as users we already understand and use the selection markup that works when selecting objects - we already know the container size.So, What is the logic behind that irritating hover?

為什麼Open Overlay在 Figma 網站上無法正常運作或顯示？

Context:I’m working on a configuration for commonly used storyblocks in our design system. I’m encountering an issue with maintaining overrides when switching between variants. Top-right: This is the starting point — a "text on image" component where the title and label fields are filled in with custom content. Bottom-right: Here, the "text on image" component is instance-swapped with another component. The custom title and label values are preserved during the swap — which is the desired behavior. Left: This shows what happens when the swap is done using variants within the component. I created a new variant based on the original "text on image" component and did the instance swap inside the component itself. However, in this case, the custom title and label are lost when switching variants. So even though I’m performing essentially the same swap — just inside the component using variants — the result is different, and the overrides are not retained.Question:Does anyone have tips

Hello everybody, I’m in desperate need of H E L PI need to create an exchangeable and resizable icon for a button within my design system in Figma. I have tried the icon wrapper but when I exchange the icon from a book to say a lighthouse, the lighthouse icon looks terrible because its length is larger than the average icon. Any ideas on how to make the size responsive? Or auto adjust the icon and the sizing in the icon wrapper? THANK YOUYOU GUYS ROCK
