how to check mail id of collaborators on figma in latest 2025 version??

Hello my team is on a professional plan, it is possible to access to the new features releases at Config2025? I’m able to see AI -generate an image and such, Figma Draw, Figma Grid, however I’m not sure how I access Make, Website and Buzz as I understand until those are out of beta they will be available for full seat members, thank you. 

My file was randomly removed from figma. What is gthe best way to locate it and/or restore it into my files? This cost me an my team a decent amount of money and I would have to have lost it forever. PLEASE HELP!

I cant seem to find the option of "variable width strokes" in Figma draw. I created a stroke and went in the vector edit mode, I see all option except the “variable width stroke”. Did anyone else try using this?

Hello,Will Figma Site generated website’s content such as text, navigation, and images be accessible by VoiceOver? or is there a way to do so? I tested publishing a website from a provided template, and it seems to only read the links.Thank you!

为什么我选中了选型尺寸，但是没有在画布上显示呢

What’s the way to add an effect (Drop shadow, background blur, etc) on an interaction (While hovering, On Click, etc)?My goal is to reduce the inane amount of variants I have to create to simply to have a hover color or shadow. 😓

I was checking out this site for something unrelated — just doing a quick fesco 2024 bill check — and it got me thinking: why do so many billing history pages feel like spreadsheets from 2004?There’s a ton of opportunity to clean up how historical utility data is displayed. Stuff like monthly charges, payment status, due dates — it’s all super useful, but the design is usually overwhelming or just plain dated.Has anyone here worked on visualizing that kind of timeline-based data? I'd love to see how others are approaching it — especially for mobile, where scrolling endless tables is a nightmare.Appreciate any insights or examples!

I know Slides has been around for about 5 minutes, but I can’t figure this out. Is it possible to add button interactivity to Figma Slides - like having a ‘overview’ slide with links to individual slides later in the presentation? Right now, it seems to only support linear progression. Basically, I’m looking for way to add a “jump to this section” button that skips around the presentation.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a prototype for a mobile video editing tool and trying to simulate real editing flows (trimming, transitions, filters) in Figma. So far, auto-animate and some interactive components are helping, but syncing complex interactions like filter overlays and multi-track timelines is tricky.I’m also referencing tools like the (capcut-style editor from capcapk). I’m curious how others approach designing for mobile video UX in Figma—do you simulate drag handles, timelines, or use external embeds for previews?Would love to see if there are plugins or workflows that help bring these ideas closer to real interaction modeling.

Hi everyone – I’m in a finance-focused role where I spend a lot of time building decks. Like, 90% of my job is making PowerPoint presentations. And honestly… I’m tired. PowerPoint just feels slow and clunky, especially when you’re making small visual adjustments over and over.I’m seriously considering switching to Figma to speed up my workflow and make things more enjoyable. But I’ve hit a few snags that I’m hoping you all can help with: Company Template: We have a corporate PowerPoint template that includes a branded background and logo placement. In PPT, I just start with the template file. How would I recreate that in Figma so that every new slide starts clean with our design? Excel Charts & Graphs: One major thing keeping me in PPT is the ability to copy/paste charts straight from Excel. It keeps all formatting and is easy to update. Has anyone figured out a good workflow for bringing charts into Figma—either as editable visuals or quick screenshots that look good? Tables i

I’ve been building out some interactive prototypes in Figma and working with a team that uses a sandboxed environment for launching and testing desktop app behavior. We're trying to ensure that the UI flow feels native even in isolated test environments where system hooks are limited.One tool that's come up in our workflow is the bloxstrap launcher, which helps manage these kinds of setups. While it’s not directly tied to Figma, it’s been helpful for replicating conditions that affect how our app will behave once deployed on Windows machines with tighter controls.Has anyone else used sandbox or custom launchers while testing Figma-to-production workflows? Curious if there’s a more integrated way to bridge Figma with those kinds of environments.Appreciate any insights!

I have a collection of 300+ variables and I need to connect the base values inside to another library, it seems that only the variable Id is exposed and not static, so I’m struggling to find how to do it. Ideal behaviourLoop through all variables in a collection Get the id of the value in that variable Match to a map with a replacement Swap the variable value with the new one

Hi, From the doc, i understood that submitting a paid plugin that makes use of Figma in-house paid system is only available to accepted publisher, and that Figma is currently not accepting any new publisher, is that correct ? so the only way to make a paid plugin would be to do the payment via a 3rd party ? And if so, is it required to provide any specific information during publication, or just submit it under the Community Free Resource License ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Today I noticed that viewers were unable to copy from some files. However, when I toggle the checkbox, Figma doesn’t save the change. After a while, it reverts to untoggled. Some of my files belong to a published library and do not have an owner.

Hi!I keep pressing Ctrl + Q instead of Ctrl + A, and it ends up quitting the entire desktop app (on Windows). I looked into the keyboard shortcut customization interface but I could’t find this shortcut listed. Is it possible to remap or disable this Quit shortcut in the desktop app ?    Thanks!

Hi,I just wanted to ask if i will be able to use Figma sites with my educational plan or not. Figma sites actually looks fantastic :)

Hi,I am looking into some docs to create a plugin … I would like to make another “Copy as” feature to match our component development platform. I took the tutorials (orange rectangle party), added webpack bundling and started exploring the API.When using getMainComponentAsync from one of the nodes it goes wrong, the function returns nothing, I get no exceptions and execution just stops.It’s weird ‘cause I can do this from the console in figma but not from my plugin, any suggestions?Is a plugin the right way to achieve what I want ? Oh, I have dynamic-page set … otherwise the asyncs wont work ;-) TxY.

We have 4-5 Figma files with different colours styles (because the maximum groups of colour variables can be just 4 in a Figma file). We whitelabel our site, thats why we have plenty of groups of colour variables.So we have 4-5 Figma files with different groups of colour variables. For one of our customers we did a unique screen design for a unique service (we created another Figma file for them, because they have unique colour combos as well). Now we would like if this feature would be in our general template as well, but when I copy the screen design (frame), it brings the original colour variables, that won’t be a big problem if I would be able to change that to the ones where I pasted it. But I can’t!!! Attached screenshots:The original colour groups:  After the frame paste - the colour variables:There are the original (“Created in this file”) and there are the pasted one (“Reffle/Paramount_2”)  When I want to change the colour variable of the pasted frame the only options are:  Pl

Anybody know how to fix it? Now only avaible on web.

This question was posted a while back, and never answered.  I’m having the same issue.  I’ve created a component with 3 variants.  From within a variant, I want to navigate to another frame in my prototype.  But, this isn’t working.  Any tips?  Or, maybe this can’t be done?

I want to prototype the generation of text that animates after submitting an AI prompt. In other words– when you type a prompt into Chat GPT and hit submit, the words begin to appear one after another as the response is created. I would like to understand an easy way to to this.

Hi Figma Community! Basically, I have a bunch of one size icons as variants in a component - they all have an auto layout frame applied to them. I want to use the icons throughout my design, but in different sizes. However, I don’t want to create varying sizes within the main component, as there would be too many icons and it would look messy. So what I normally do is: Create another test component using the icon with another element (for example, with a CTA here) Scale the icon using the scale tool (larger as an example here) Then instance swap it and it usually adheres to the new scaled size that I give it. However, recently, this method hasn’t been working and the instance just retains the same size as its original parent varient. *As a note, the icon starts scaling properly if I detatch the instance. Which ideally I don’t want to be doing, as I may have changes to the test component that I need reflected throughout the file. Can anyone assist in finding why this is, that would be

Hello,I just want to ask about the steps to sell on Figma community, when I start publishing the checkbox “sell this resource on community” is disabled, any ideas?
