We have these two variations to support hover interactions. When the text is changed while using this component upon changing to the hover variant the underline text styling is not getting applied. Also, Figma stopped supporting changing the text styling on the linked text labels. This has become very painful for us in alot of our components text properties were linked to keep it the same across various variants but their styling were changing which now can’t happen.Is this a bug..? 

HiI have a pretty large design file. In that file I have a substantial amount of variables. They all link (aliased) to variables in another file where my primitives are placed.What I would like to achieve is to be able to copy my Design file and copy my Primitives file. I Then need the variable collection in my COPY-Design file to be relinked to my new primitive file called COPY-Primitives.I know how to use plugins for importing collections and relinking variables on components that way. But I cannot seem to find a way or a plugin where I can relink my entire variable collection to a copy of my primitives. At least not automatically. Any way I can accomplish relinking my variable collection to my new copy of my primitives without going through plus severeal hundred variables manually?Thanks.

I cannot get my hover effect to work, I got it working outside a figma page, when I moved the two images on the page nothing!!!I need to finish this project for my portfolio so I can move onto my last project so I can get a job!! I used chat exhaustively and could not get this to work!! How can I have a live person help me>?

app preview in FIGMAMAKEI made an app on figma make, which is compatible with iPhone 16. I published and got a link, but when I tested the app on my phone by connecting it, I found that it couldn't be fully displayed when opened in the link (like a real app). When operating in a browser, the toolbar can only be hidden, but it still cannot be displayed in full screen. Does anyone have any methods to enable the apps made by figma make to be previewed on mobile phones? It can be interacted and used normally, and displayed in full screen!app preview in Safari

My Figma desktop hasn’t worked i am on Windows 10 with pretty decent specs., it works fine on the browser but not on my desktop the background process is showing in the task manager but it won’t draw any power from the CPU. I tried clearing the cache memory, turning off the firewall, and fresh installing it but whenever I open the setup it buffers, and shows the Figma symbol, and that’s it! It won’t ask me for the location to install or if I want a desktop/start menu file. Then if I search for Figma it shows that the app is installed but still won’t open and the Figma agent is open in the background without drawing any power. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi, Figmates?Just wanted to check in with everyone. Has anyone heard any news or teasers of what’s coming next to Figma Sites or CMS?I feel the need to be excited, as I am working heavily on my website and want to understand what I will be able to do next and how.

Hey i hope anyone has some tips for me.I’ve been working with the windows app since january and experienced cache issues when making changes in the library and publishing to working files.Recently i split the components library up into 2 files, 1 for variables and 1 for components. We are running a multibrand design system and it was starting to get unweildy with just one library file. All ok there.So the structure is:variable library components library pulling in variables consuming working file linking to both libraries All of our components are built using atoms and nesting. But even just placing a button in the consuming file doesnt show eg the updated font colour.Now our freelancer who uses a mac has also started experiencing caching issues in the working files. We regularly delete cache. But changes do not show. Its starting to get a real problem  😭😭😭😭

Hi everyone.I’m currently working on a multi-brand design system  and I’ve separated everything into two files: A Foundations file containing all Variables and Styles A Components file where those Variables and Styles are imported and used The idea behind this setup was scalability. If additional digital products need to connect to the foundations layer in the future, they could independently consume and publish the shared foundations without being tied directly to the component library.However, I’m running into a few practical issues.Because the system is large and multi-brand, I spend a huge amount of time publishing updates in the Foundations file and then importing those updates again into the Components file. When hundreds of variables change at once, this becomes a lot of repetitive back-and-forth work.In addition, I sometimes encounter a bug where a variable appears to be set correctly, but the component does not visually update automatically. Only after double-clicking the co

I’m running into a weird issue with interactive components in Figma and I’m not sure if this is a bug or just a limitation of how hover states work.I have a menu button component with 3 variants:Default Hovered ExpandedInteractions:Default → Mouse enter → Hovered Hovered → Mouse leave → Default Hovered → On click → Expanded Expanded → On click → DefaultThe Expanded variant contains a dropdown slot with submenu buttons.Problem:When I click the button, the Expanded state appears for a split second and immediately switches back to Hovered. Then, when I move the cursor away, Expanded appears again and gets “stuck”.It feels like the hover interaction is overriding the clicked state, even though I’m not using “While hovering” anymore.Things I already checked:No hidden interactions on variants No Smart Animate (using Instant) Expanded variant does not have a larger bounding box Dropdown is placed in a slot below the button No nested interactive components with conflicting triggersHas anyone e

Hello,I noticed an unexpected charge on my credit card on May 14, 2026. My monthly subscription plan is supposed to be for 1 seat ($20/month), but I was charged $57.20 because extra seats were automatically added without my explicit consent.I have already changed my seat approval settings to "Approve seats manually" so this won't happen again. Since these extra seats were added accidentally and were not intended for use, I would like to kindly request a refund for the extra amount charged ($35.20).Thank you for your help, and I look forward to your reply.Best regards,[Sulha Park] [박설하] 

Hi, I’m a student who’s working on a ad for Figma Draw as a school project. I need to find the brush cursor that you can see when taking the brush tool in Figma Draw mode. I tried to search for it : nothing. I tried to take a screenshot and vectorize with the AI, didn’t work so well. I would need the “official” one to continue the animation ! I even tried to look at it in the code but didn’t find it :/ If someone knows how to get it, I would appreciate it!

 Hi- I was working at an organization that was acquired. Instead of acquiring the old Figma, we created a new account. This got very confusing as some files were saved to the old account, etc. We just ran into this issue- does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! 

My Figma updated from the old Edit Content panel to the new Bulk Edit view. When opening Bulk Edit, every single layer appears, whether it’s editable or not. The non-editable fields can’t be interacted with, while the editable ones can.Right now, I have to horizontally scroll through all fields just to find the editable ones.I know you can manually filter and unselect fields in Bulk Edit, but is there a way to configure this at the master template level so those settings apply to anyone who uses the file in the future?

How to inject HTML video embed in Figma Sites CMS ?

I can’t seem to figure it out. Is this referring to an auto-layout setting? Or something to do with preferred instances?  

The transparency used for uncertain items is not very clear at first glance when zoomed out. Could this be improved, maybe by  use of a different colour for transparent items for greater contrast?

I’m currently using a verified Educational account on Figma, and I wanted to kindly request access to the new Figma Agent and AI features.I’m a UI/UX and Product Design student, and I spend a lot of time learning design systems, product thinking, and modern workflows inside Figma. After seeing the new AI updates, I’m really excited to explore how these tools can improve my learning process and help me grow as a designer.A lot of students like me are trying to stay updated with the future of design, and having access to Figma Agent would be incredibly valuable for learning, experimenting, and understanding AI-assisted workflows in real product design environments.I would really appreciate it if my educational account could be considered for access, even as part of a beta rollout.

Hi, I’m trying to build a skill which traces the Figma prototype for all the interactions I have wire in my Figma file. The Figma MCP is unable to return any substantial value and unable trace the prototype. Any recommendations on how can I better solve this?

In Figma, my dropdown component is set up as a frame with a white fill at 100% opacity and normal blend mode. However, underlying layers are still visible through it, even though the dropdown is positioned above other elements in the layer hierarchy. I also tried toggling “Clip content” on and off, but nothing changed. What could be causing this issue?Additionally, could anyone recommend videos or online courses that explain how to create a proper dropdown menu in Figma? I’m really struggling with building one and getting a bit frustrated with it. Thanks a lot. 

Is the design system (variables, components, text styles) created inside a Figma Sites file publishable for other Figma Design or Site files to use?I’m trying to recreate a site in Figma Sites, and wondering if I should build DS inside the Site file or if I should build in an external Figma Design file, publish, and connect to the Figma Site file to use.(Optional Question)What’s the compatibility between Figma Design & Figma Sites in terms of library sharing, and what are the pros, cons, best practices? 

Research question for anyone doing data-driven design in Figma.No pitch — genuinely trying to map unsolved problems before building anything.Three scenarios I'm curious about:**1. Bulk / multi-row population**If you have a card grid, table, or list with 10+ instances — how do you currently populate them all from a dataset? Do you do it manually, row by row? Have you found a plugin that handles this well? What's still missing?**2. Sensitive data in mockups**Have you ever shared a Figma file and realized it had real customer emails, names, or phone numbers visible? Is that a concern in your workflow, or does it not come up?**3. RTL languages**If your product supports Hebrew, Arabic, or another right-to-left language — how do you handle realistic RTL text data in your prototypes? Is it painful, or have you solved it?Any of these can be answered with "not a problem for me" — that's useful data too.(Disclosing: AI-assisted market research post)
