Ask the Community

Hello,One of my professional accounts finally has Figma AI access again, and after some usage, I have a few questions about its capabilities, and would appreciate some guidance, as I do not believe I was able to achieve the following:Can I make the AI use components from my design systems rather than its pre-defined set? Can I add components to its pre-defined component library? If yes, how? Can I make it create component sets and states? Can the AI use framework components like Bootstrap 5 if asked? Can the AI create variable tables for me for my design system? Can the AI create styles other than its initial style control interface? Like, actual text and color styles (if variables are not a go, since that is better)? Can it work on elements on a page, like a vector illustration, and modify the element? Can it create tables? Can it create flow charts/connections between frames since it can noodle?

Note: sorry if you’ve seen this elsewhere, but with the new forum, I couldn’t find the “ask the community” so posting here again :/ The wrap function for auto layout has been a great addition but I keep hitting a wall when trying to illustrate expectations of alignment/stretch of wrapped items as the width of container/screen/viewport changes.An example is with cards containing content of different length. Expectation: card containers should stretch to fill vertical gaps in grid so they all share the height of element with most content (as it works with CSS grid or the align-items: stretch of Flexbox)Current behaviour: I am limited to choosing between fixed-height or hug contents for the cards. Result: card heights cannot dynamically adapt and I am have to write extensive documentation for devs and cannot freely create prototypes using dynamic content.Am I missing something?  

I created this form field. I want the field length to be adjustable, while keeping the button the same size and at the end. However, when I resize the field, one of two things will happen: Button stays the same size, but doesn’t move to be at the end of the field. Button moves, but changes size. How should the component be set so that the button has a fixed size but dynamic position?

Hi Figma team and community,I'm having a serious issue with one of my files and I hope someone can help me.Issue details:I am the owner of the file. The file is showing as "Unassigned file" in yellow text. I cannot edit, duplicate, copy, or move the file to another team or project. I have double-checked that I’m logged into the correct account (the owner account). I have tried opening it in both Figma app and browser, but still no luck. Other people only have "can view" access, but even I (the owner) can't do anything. Here is the link to my file (view-only): Possible causes I suspect: The file might be detached from its team or stuck in some limbo state. Some workspace downgrade issue (but I am not sure). What I’ve already tried: Logging out and back in. Trying from different devices and browsers. Attempting to share with another email (but since it’s unassigned, I can’t grant edit access). Checking if I can duplicate — no option available. 💥 This is an important file and I would

Hi everyone,I need help from all of you as I don’t quite understand still on how the seat are works. Below are the reply from the support recently:‘It's fine for you to move the file from team with email 1 to team with email 2 once it's been created, but again, please note that everyone with email 2 logging information will be able to manage everything in that account.  Again, I recommend that every user uses their own Figma account to collaborate on the files on your chosen team whether linked to email 1 or email 2. This is better for collaborating and also for security reasons.’ My reply after:‘You meant:1. Everything in email 2.2. I create a team in email 2. All designs under this team.3. I invite each of them with different Figma accounts (separate email addresses)4. Everyone of them will view designs and accessing to Dev Mode under that team. Ultimately, they would not able to manage anything besides viewing designs and Dev Mode only.All yes?’ So, my question, are all true as per

Hi, i have a question that i think is pretty dumb but i can’t figure out a solution.I was working on a interactive dropdown component that i want to be able to use across multiple design.Each text/option in this dropdown is tied to a default variable (option1 is a text for option1), and i want to be able, when i copy and paste this dropdown to a new file, to be able to edit those variables values to make modifications to my dropdown.I published my component to a library, and imported this library to a new file to test my component, but when i opened my variables, it showed as empty, and my component is still “Linked” to the original variables.What workflow would be the best to fulfill my need? (create a dropdown where each value is linked to a variable, and be able to copy and paste this “default” dropdown to any file i need and make modifications based on the context)

Hello everyone, I need help solving a problem. I created an adaptive button using variants and connected them with “On Click.” I need the overlay with the message “Item added to wishlist” to appear when clicking the “+” button, and at the same time, the “➕” should change to “✔️.” However, this doesn’t work as expected. I understand that the issue is that the button can’t respond to two different triggers at the same time, but I don’t know how to solve this problemHere’s the link to the video  

There are quite a few feature requests that are 4+ years old—some with hundreds of thousands of views, and hundreds of upvotes. Meanwhile: scrubbable inputs and smart font symbols are here. :)I don’t expect my personal wishlist to be prioritized, so I’ll refrain from mentioning anything specific here. But it does feel odd to see (what I feel are) niche features roll out while long-standing, high-visibility requests go untouched—many of which feel quite basic.I’m sure Figma has internal reasons. Maybe technical debt or architectural blockers?And I respect the “no roadmap communication” policy—totally valid. But paired with low-demand feature releases and leaving these old requests untouched... it can come off as poor prioritization. In the absence of active communication, It’s not unreasonable for the user base to jump to conclusions about deeper internal issues and lose confidence.Not trying to rant. Just curious. I’m sure there are reasons—it’s just frustrating at times.So yeah. Hones

I need to switch from a Professional Plan to Organization Plan in order to use the branching feature for a client that likes to snoop. I only need the Organization Plan for about six months, which is the duration of the contract. Typically my projects don’t require branching. I see that the Professional Plan is billed monthly and the Organization Plan is billed annually. So, I’m out $960 even though I only need it for half the year. And please, for the love of all that is good and holy, If you are going to have a plan bill annually, don’t show the pricing breakdown by month: https://www.figma.com/pricing/Anyho, long story short (and this is probably a no), can we buy features month to month?  

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on testing interactions in my Figma prototypes and was looking into automation tools to streamline the process. I wanted to try using Cypress for testing, but I’ve been having trouble getting it to work properly on iOS environments. Some scripts don’t seem to execute as expected, and I’m not sure if it’s a compatibility issue or a setup problem.I came across this Cypress iOS repository that seems to provide useful resources, but I’m not sure how well it integrates with Figma workflows. Has anyone tried using Cypress for testing Figma prototypes, particularly on iOS? Are there any workarounds or better alternatives for automation?Would love to hear any insights from those who have tackled similar issues!

A Few Months Back, I Found A Bug In Figma’s Web App—Creating Multi-page Files Without Upgrading Plans. I Thought It’d Be Cool To Report It In A Big Way, So I Bought 'figma.page' From Namecheap And Made A Site To Showcase It. I Wasn’t Trying To Cause Trouble—Just Wanted To Help And Maybe Get A Nod For The Find. But Then Figma Took The Site Down, Saying It Was Trademark Infringement. I Get It, Sort Of, But Now I’m Stuck With A Domain I Can’t Sell (Buyers Keep Saying ‘nope, Trademark Issue’), And I’ve Lost A Bunch Of Time And Money Trying To Sort This Out. I’m Bummed—Namecheap Sold Me The Domain No Problem, So I Didn’t Expect This Headache.Any Ideas On What I Should Do? Whom Should I Reach To? Or Something Else? I Still Think The Bug’s Worth Sharing—anyone Else Run Into Stuff Like This? As Well I’m Looking For $700 BUY IT NOW Price For The Domain...[redacted]

Hi everyone,I’m looking for a way to integrate a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system with Figma using a plugin. Ideally, I’d like to streamline image access and updates directly within Figma without manually downloading and re-uploading assets.Has anyone successfully connected a DAM to Figma? Are there any recommended plugins or workflows that allow for seamless syncing? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Opa galerinha, sou novo aqui na comunidade, então talvez eu esteja fazendo esse tópico da maneira errada, mas gostaria de abrir aqui tanto a discursão quanto deixar de sugestão de melhoria para o Figma que é algo que eu sinto muita falta, que são duas interações que elevariam os protótipos acredito que a outro patamar muito superior, que seria: On Dismiss: sinto falta dessa interação que o component identificasse clique fora dele, exemplo prático seria um input de texto que no click entraria em estado de focused, e quando clicasse em qualquer outro lugar da tela que não fosse o próprio component ele interpretasse esse clique fora dele, seria uma forma até de fazer também radios button de maneira mais simplificada sem ter que estar utilizando tantas variáveis para simular uma seleção única. A outra que eu sinto falta lá, é uma interação que poderia se chamar como Js: “listener” ou “EventListener”, e aí no caso ele ficaria “escutando” alguma situação, como por exemplo: Temos uma tela de

Hello, community I am creating an icon set, and I want to deliver it to the development team in SVG format. The problem I faced is that some SVG codes export with the stroke that I want, but some export as a filled one (it seems that Figma first use outline stroke then export it) You can see two different icon svg file

Do you have any experience with workarounds for sharing a library from one organization to another while maintaining a direct link to the original library file?

Hey everyone! 😊I’m currently working on a Glassmorphism-styled app and have designed a Glass Tile component. I’ve fine-tuned the look to match my vision, but I want the flexibility to tweak it later and have those changes apply across my entire design.Since I also want to take full advantage of Auto-Layout, I’ve been trying different ways to make my Glass Tile fully reusable. Right now, my approach is:Creating an empty frame, and once I’m ready, manually placing my Glass Tile underneath and resizing it. Or, copying the properties of my Glass Tile and pasting them onto new frames.However, this feels a bit clunky. Ideally, I’d love a way to have a "Glass Frame" component that I can reuse over and over—without extra manual resizing every time.I also tried nesting an instance of my Glass Tile inside a frame, but it doesn’t resize dynamically. 🤔Does anyone know a smarter way to achieve this? Would love to hear your thoughts!Thanks a ton! 😃 

Hi Figma Community,I'm hoping someone can help me navigate the pricing plans and seat allocations. I'm a bit confused about which option is best for my situation.I'm a solo designer who needs full access to Figma design and FigJam. I also have a client who needs to be able to:View my Figma design files.Add comments and feedback.Participate in FigJam brainstorming sessions.I'm struggling to understand:Which plan would be the most suitable for this setup (e.g., Professional, Organization)?How many seats I would need, and what type of seat my client would require (viewer, editor, etc.)?Any cost-effective strategies for managing this type of access?Has anyone else encountered a similar scenario? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance

I need the duration to be around 100,000ms. If I break the interaction in multiple frames then there is a slight pause (1ms). I need a smooth transition of at least 1min maybe more. Is there a way to do this in Figma?

My asset panel for components used to be organized alphabetically regardless of how my library file was structured. I like to organize my library by components that are in progress, ready for dev, etc… and now in every file when i view my assets panel, the components are following the page order rather than alpha like they used to be.

Local variables are only accessible on an individual’s local system, right? Is there any way to view someone else’s local variables — for instance, if they’ve already set up a great system — so others can build on it instead of starting from scratch?Another way:Is there any way to view and study the local variables used in Figma files available in the community? Specifically, I’m curious if it's possible to examine how others have organized their variables within their files, so I can learn from well-structured systems and avoid reinventing the wheel when working on similar projects.

In the new update boolean operations moved from center top toolbar to a tiny, difficult to see spot in the corner of the properties panel. In the type of design I do I use these controls constantly and it’s been frustrating and disruptive. Constraints have also been moved and is less accessible. It would be great to allow the user to keep a custom top toolbar that is easily accessible, or at least maintain the original toolbar without having to revert to previous versions.

In Figma, I’m working with a design that involves three cards within an auto layout configuration. My goal is to achieve two key behaviors: Equal Height Across Cards: When these cards are aligned next to each other horizontally, they should all maintain an equal height, ensuring a uniform appearance. Content-Dependent Sizing: In scenarios where the cards do not share a row (e.g., when viewed on a narrower screen or in a different layout context), each card should adjust its height dynamically to snugly fit its content. Is it possible to configure auto layout wrap to accommodate these requirements? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to make the containers simultaneously fill available height when aligned together and adjust to hug their content when they’re not sharing the same row.

We are on a Professional plan with the following set-up:2 Design seats paid yearly (renewing on Feb 3 2026) 2 Design seats paid monthly 5 FigJam seats paid yearly (renewing on Feb 3 2026)First, we want to remain on the professional plan as it suits us best, we don’t want to upgrade to an organization plan.This said, this is what an ideal set-up after the new seats have been introduced would look like:2 Full seats paid yearly 2 Dev seats paid yearly 5 Collab seats paid yearlyI’ve been trying to figure out how to make this happen and it’s impossible. There’s no Dev Seat anywhere in our “People” view but only the, now, obsolete, Full and FigJam seats.Furthermore, before we could select to upgrade monthly seats to annual, an option that has been now wiped out the UI, leaving us stuck with 2 design seats paid monthly that we’d like to shift to yearly (if we were able to make them Dev Seats instead).The only place in the UI where I found a list of members and a list of the new seats tied to

i’m prototyping on Figma, i have buttons that change states once clicked on. The button changes states and works fine when I press it while I’m presenting, however once I make it so that clicking the button makes you navigate to a different frame/page, the button doesn’t change states anymore. How can i fix this? I already tried adding a delay when it navigates to a different page, but it seems like the button stops working all together in terms of changing states. Not sure if this is a bug.

How do I remove ghost color styles?I added some color styles, but after deleting them, they still appear in Libraries while not showing up in the color styles list or selection colors.Oddly enough, I can add fills on top of them 😆Important note: There are no external libraries linked to this file.Thanks for helping!
