The problem:I have a hover button with 3 states - default/hover/activeWhen I add this component to my design and add a new interaction like “Swap Overlay” it takes several clicks to get it to swap overlays.Now, this was working fine some time back and isn’t the case for everything.I submitted this problem to customer support and, after giving them access to my files, they said:“just make a panel with the default state. then, when hovering over the button, make it switch to the new panel with the hover state, and then click thru from there to swap the overlay”And that sounded incredibly stupid. Afterall, this doesn’t actually solve any issues to what appears to be a bug.So my question is: is this happening for others?

Is there any way to make the slack intagration to work in the browser version of Figma to see comments from figma to slack? 

This issue has been happening on and off today which is preventing me from moving forward. Is anyone else seeing this? It’s also happening to the published version. 

when i first load the tab the pngs look correct, but when i zoom in at all….they look darker and weird.  they also export darker and weird... 

I love how fast Figma Make is right now. I also like not hitting limits or having to use “credits” to make requests, like the planned announcement. I would be willing to spend no more than $40/month for unlimited access to Figma Make when the new payment structure is rolled out, but nothing like $200/mo because I am a single freelance designer who is not associated with a big corporation that would be willing to pay my monthly subscription bills.What would be your willingness to spend to keep figma make as fast as it is right now for you as a single, freelance designer who is not associated with a big company?

Have created a little portfolio website however one page when going onto Present keeps wildly glitching (wont scroll unless you double click and scroll, will also jump to different sections?)- have gone through all my layers and all sorts but cannot find out why this keeps happening, the other screens do not have this issue and have been designed exactly the same, overflow is on vertical as well….pls help! 

I need a single line of text to fit within a container without wrapping, breaking the boundary, or truncating. I need the text to get smaller when it gets too long to fit, either by reducing font size or overall scale. The text is dynamic, so I can’t reliably tell how long it will be to pick an ideal font size. Things I’ve tried: Standard left and right with top and bottom constraints, but if the text becomes too long, it wraps and breaks the boundary or truncates. Using text auto width with scale constraints, but the text just grows outside the boundary. Using text auto width then wrapping it with an auto layout, thinking the layout could hug the text and use scale constraints to get smaller, but hug resizing and scale constraints are mutually exclusive. Is there any way to do this dynamically?

I’d like to remove the available seats from my Figma Pro plan to avoid being charged for unused seats. Could you please guide me through the process or assist in removing them? 

Hi,I applied for Edu verfication and it got approved last year, and this year for the new set of students, its asking for approvals again. I have submitted the required forms and still nothing happening. Is there any timelimit on that. Please guide. Thanks.

 Hello everyone,I'm trying to create a sticky navbar for my portfolio. I have a main frame with Auto layout set to a vertical direction. I've placed my navbar frame inside this main frame and set its position to Absolute position.I also went to the Prototype tab and enabled Fixed position when scrolling for the navbar.The problem is that the navbar sticks to the top-left corner, but it does not stretch to the full width of the page. It's leaving a blank space on the right side.I know that Absolute position takes a layer out of the Auto layout flow, and I've tried to set the navbar's constraints to Left & Right, but it's still not stretching as expected.My main frame is 1440pxwide, and I need the navbar to always fill that width while remaining sticky.Has anyone encountered this issue or found a working solution? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi dear community, I have no idea how to catch those panel.After create a auto layout and choose the , those panels should appear sometimes will appear and sometimes I can find it no where, I don’t know in what case the panels will be show? 

Hi all, I created some designs that I exported as PDF. I have two problems with the result: The text is not selectable (I tried Mac’s Preview and Safari). The files are rather large (1MB for an A4 size design, no images or vectors, just a few text bozes. Any ideas how to overcome this? (I would try to avoid bringing it back my design to Sketch.

This auto-layout frame is a child/inside a basic frame that I should be able to move things around in.  How the heck do I turn this off when I hover over to click and drag. all I want to do is drag the group/autolayout over a bit manually and arrows in this small space are producing too large of a move. this comes up for me a ton and it’s insanely annoying. I can’t click and drag without it also changing the auto layout spacing.  if I want to change that I will go to the tool sidebar and do it myself.  I don’t need this pink stuff trying to do it for me just because i’ve hovered over it.Also, FYI - I couldn’t even screengrab it through the OS, because this literally happens on hover, so I snapped it with my phone - hence the bad photo, apologies.  

Hi all (and hopefully someone from the Figma team),I’m writing this post after spending days trying to figure out whether it is currently possible to sell a Figma plugin, and I’m honestly shocked at how contradictory, confusing, and out-of-date the information is across the official documentation and forum posts—even posts by Figma staff. I’m not alone in this confusion. Let me lay out what I’ve found and where the contradictions lie. 🔒 1. Official documentation (as of now) says the Community Seller program is closedFrom the official documentation on selling Community resources:“Note: We are not approving new creators to sell paid files on Community at this time.”This implies that unless you were already approved long ago, you can’t use the built-in Stripe-based seller infrastructure at all—meaning you cannot charge for your plugin through Figma in any official way. 🌐 2. A 3-year-old post from Figma staff says you can use your own Stripe flow (but not in the plugin UI)Source: Forum p

Hi,Using figma make and designing a mobile app with the help of AI. It was going well but I didn’t like the last change made and asked for a revert, but didn’t revert the last changes properly, only some of them. is there any way to work like versions? so i could revert a change quickly without losing anything?Thanks in advance

I received the message 'We have successfully verified your education status!', but I didn’t get the 'Welcome to the Figma Education Plan' email, and nothing has changed in Figma (I still don’t see the Education Plan features after verification). 

i need to fix some particular screens, but i cant find a way to select just one screen 

The “Explore Community” button - usually at the bottom left of the window - is gone. Where can I find the button now?

All these figma updates keeps moving around the community section where I can search for plugins, designs etc… WHERE IS IT NOW!????

Hi everyone,I’m experimenting with running the Jira MCP server locally in VS Code alongside GitHub Copilot. My goal is to download a design image from Jira and use it with another tool to compare it against a screenshot of the built feature.Here’s the issue: My agent seems able to fetch the image (I can see it being used in the chat context), but I can’t get it to actually save the file locally. With Playwright MCP, I can easily take a screenshot and save it to disk, so I know saving works in my setup. What I’ve tried so far: Following all the available configuration steps. Adjusting the prompts to explicitly ask Copilot to save the file. Testing with Claude Sonnet 2.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and GPT-4.1 inside Copilot (same results). Has anyone managed to do something similar: downloading/saving Jira design images via MCP with Copilot?What options or workarounds should I explore?Thanks in advance!

We’re experiencing a random problem with component overrides in our design system which consists of multiple library files. Our components use an atomic structure, where small individual components are combined (sometimes with overrides) to create larger components. The problem we’re facing We’re using some components in a design file and they have overrides applied to them. When a new library update is published, taking the new updates in the design file breaks our overrides. The component properties/variant selection is intact, even the value of the overrides are intact, however the instance would either loose border radius, or have its alignment changed or the layer name resets to the original name from the atomic component. This happens to some specific components, and not others. And this also happens randomly, sometimes some components break, while others don’t. We tried recreating the whole library from scratch with a few components to see if the problem persists, and unfortunat

Hi everyone How can I costumise the caracters in keyboard to be the same as the caracters I want to be written. 

Hey everyone,I’ve been using Figma Make to build my website and noticed that it generates a lot of React code with many components. I have a few questions: Is there a way to export or download the entire project as a .zip file, instead of manually copy-pasting the code into my local environment? Since I don’t need all the React code, is there a way to export only the design, or better yet, convert or export the Figma Make project into a Figma Design project? In Figma Design, we can use plugins like Builder.io — are plugins like that also available for Figma Make? Would really appreciate any guidance from anyone. Thanks!

My marketing agency has a proprietary content creation platform (we control all aspects of the backend, etc.).  After written content is created, we typically copy and paste the content to a Figma design template. Via an API connection, is it possible to create my written content and simultaneously have it populate in a Figma template? Or even populate as comments? Currently we use the batch import functionality in Figma Buzz but now I'm interested in directly connecting a Figma template to our platform. Is this API connection possible? Thanks!

Have you used AI tools to adapt or enhance designs within your design system? Which tools did you use, what results did you see, and would you recommend them to others?
