Hello there, I have downloaded an Avatar plug in and after using it , it sits on the bottom right side of my screen. it is animated and so my eye is constantly drawn to it. How do I get rid of it?

I have a prototype with two pages, each having a button to navigate to the other page. If I open the prototype on a laptop and press the button, it transitions to the second page. I want to know if it's possible to have this interaction also reflect in real-time on another device (e.g., a phone) that is viewing the same prototype simultaneously.Is there a way to achieve this in Figma natively, or are there plugins/tools that can enable real-time synchronization between devices for prototypes? Thank you

Q：I want the 「text 1」 adapt automatic in one component ，how can I set it？（The 「text 1」can not add max width, because the width of card「item」 is changing ） S：if figma can use function that the max with of「text 1」 is changing ，just like “max width=「title」-「tag」-gap(12)”， maybe can fix the problem

After the last update of the desktop version of movies for Windows, I cannot log in to the account in the application. When I launch the application, this window is displayed:   After clicking on the "Login with browser" button, this window appears:And nothing else happens. In other words, the authorization window does not open in the browser. I have already tried logging into the company in the browser and opening the project in the application from there, but it doesn't work and the application opens a window for me where it asks me to log in through the browser. How can this problem be solved?Browser: opera. Latest browser version

Hello everyone, I hope someone from Community Support can help me. Someone from Community Support has already helped me by sending me the expiration date of my education plan: 2025-02-08. Just checking if this means the 8th of February, 2025? I have a question regarding my education plan. Before it expires, I'd like to switch to a paid professional plan to retain all my projects and files. What's the best way to do this? Is it possible to convert my education plan into a paid professional plan? If so, can I change the associated school email (which I no longer have access to) to a personal one? Or would it be better to create a new account and assign my projects to that account? Thanks in advance for the help :)

Hey!Recently (Maybe last 6months) we have experienced Figma becoming more and more unstable/unreliable. We are using Branches on a daily basis for version handling and have had multiple errorsrecently, different documents & for different users.- Merge errors, not being able to merge, figma giving some generic error and then it usually solves it self eventually.- Documents not saving & with “forever” loading states stating its “saving” but it never manages to save, giving errors when you try to close figma documents. Usually you end up having to close and hope it saved anyway.- Unable to Publish Libraries, generic error with “retry option” but result is the same every time you “retry”, it keeps giving errors.- Libraries stating Variables have been removed when trying to publish, after restarting Figma the statement is no longer there and publishing library works as intended.Are others experiencing same issues? Is Figma becoming more convoluted with more functions and thus becomi

Hello. Do anyone know if I can, through the Figma Plugin API, know if a font is provided by google, a custom font or if it’s a system standard font? 

Hi!  I am new to being a system admin of Figma for Intuit.  We have at least 8 different engineering design team combos and many of our users don’t know what version they need so they will just request a paid design seat.  I want to change this and drive a process that requires more thought about what type of seat is being provisioned.    Thanks in advance for your help - it seems these concepts are intentionally vague unless you are in the product all day! Here it goes: I understand what Dev Mode is - for a front end dev being able to inspect the properties of a file for front end coding.  I also fully understand that Design in View Only mode gives access/comment to a file but not edit.   so……  what is view only Dev Mode?  Is it the same thing as view only design giving users the ability to view comment and edit the file but not view the properties as a developer inspecting the file?  My goal is to move the thought process as the prices are going up to where people are not just willy

We are working on a project where we need to flip icons horizontally using Figma APIs. Specifically, we want to change the orientation of icons from left-to-right to right-to-left for all nodes within a design file. Could you please guide us on how to achieve this using Figma APIs? If there are any specific methods or best practices for implementing this transformation, we would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to your guidance.

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. My Figma automatically updated to the latest version, but it now says that it is incompatible with my Mac OS version and cannot run. Is there a location I can find the download link for an older version of the desktop app for Mac?

Hi there, We have hidden components in a page called “_Blueprints” that are not published. Then, we have a component with an instance swap property, which contains some of these hidden components as preferred value. Logically, these are not published, so the users do not see the preferred values nor can find the components when they use our library. I see the option “Publish all preferred values”, so I thought this was going to publish ONLY the components set as preferred value, can someone please confirm this? It is unclear, as after clicking it, I can see the list of ALL the components that are hidden, (including the ones I want), and it says “These won’t be published” On top of that, the “Publish” button is disabled. I just don’t want to publish all hidden components, only the ones referred as preferred value, which shouldn’t be accessed when searching through the library… Would love some help on this, I have seen a few similar topics but with no workaround… 🙂 Many thanks!

Hello Team,I’m trying to retrieve an image from Figma files using the Figma REST API endpoint. I’m currently using the GET Image API - https://www.figma.com/developers/api#get-images-endpoint to obtain the image URL.With this API, I’m successfully able to retrieve an image URL that remains valid for 30 days.I have a couple of questions regarding this: The image URL obtained through this API is public, and I can access the image without requiring any authentication or tokens. Is there a way to enforce authentication for accessing the image? The image URL is valid for 30 days. Is it possible to modify the expiration timestamp? Also, is there any usage limit on using REST API?  Looking forward to your insights.Thank you!

Hi!I am trying to make these 5 toggles dependent on each other by row so that only one can be on at a time. To add, I have about 100 of these, and would love if once they are selected as “home,” they go to the bottom of the list. I would much appreciate any help!

I just wanna report problem what I got. for the background, I have string variables with two mode language. When I switch to dev-mode and click tridots to check variable, variable detail modal doesnt appears. Where the problem came from? from library, account or file? 

I ran into the maximum indentation level when documenting component structures. Incredibly, I almost got by because I needed up to 6 levels where only 5 are supported. Why is this limitation even in place?

Hello,I am currently developing a Figma plugin to extract local variables. However, I am facing difficulty in extracting the mode name (which I intend to use for segregating variables based on different modes, such as dark mode and light mode). Could you please advise if there is a method to retrieve the mode name?

Hello everyone,I’m new to the community and wanted to hear your thoughts on using variables.From my understanding, you can achieve the same result in two ways when working with variables. For example, I want to create both a Dark and Light Theme for my screen. I could create color variables and then decide that everything green will turn blue in the other theme, and vice versa.Alternatively, if I’m working with components, I could create two variations for each component, naming them Light and Dark Theme, and use a string variable to switch between the variants accordingly.Which approach do you think is more appropriate? What are the pros and cons of each? When might it be better to use one over the other?I’d appreciate any thoughts or questions, even if it’s to point out that my understanding is incorrect and it should be done in a third way :)….

Hi,Our team doesn’t really use libraries because our experience with them wasn’t great. Recently I’ve decided to give it another go after quite some time because we are at a state where we must split files in order to reduce the memory usage of the file.Unfortunately, 10 minutes later I ran into an issue that is driving me crazy for the past 10 hours.What I did:- Created a new file called “Design System:- Created a new component called “Button” with two variants “Default” and “Hover”- Published the changes to the Library and published the Library- Created a new file called “Screens”- Added the newly created Library to the “Screens” file and added the “Button” componentWhat the issue is:- The “Button” component default state is “Default”. When changing it to “Hover”, literally nothing happens. I can’t figure out for the sake of me what’s happening.Any ideas?Thanks

Hello,I worked on a website design and now someone outside my team needs access to edit the file in dev-mode. as I understand I have to pay for that sit and thats ok, but how  I make sure that I'm only giving him access to that specific file and not to my whole design library? is quite confusing this whole thing about seats an teams please help!

I really need to be able to sort, and ideally also group, the lists of Text Styles and Color Styles that I created. I don’t see a way to do that in the Design panel on the right sidebar. Help us stay organized and please add this soon.

I am new to figma and on Free plan. I have create 3 design files.I am not supposed to create a token (done that) and provide a file key.To get this file key I am supposed to open the design and get it from the browser address.It should look something like : https://www.figma.com/file/<FILE_KEY>/<File-Name>But I am not able to find this, my browser link does not include /file but similar to :https://www.figma.com/design/eBye85oBgN2BV/FastHub---Dashboard?node-id=1-109&t=2BcjVv77a- Question: Is it possible for me to find the file key using free plan and if so, how can i find it?
