Is there a way to download the source code of my Figma plugin from the community?I code a plugin few years ago in my work computer,  but lose the code when I quite that job.Now I want adjust some feature of that plugin, is there a way?

I’m in a large org with a mature design system (~75 components), pulling library usage data from the Figma REST API.When I sort the output by component, the API spits out every variant and sub component in the library. This means that a design system library with 75 components might show as several hundred components in the data… which is too messy to be useful for my stakeholders.How are people filtering down this data to make it readable?In my pilots I categorized components using a manually populated table, but that’s not an approach that is scalable (when I scan all 10 version of our design system library I wind up with thousands of components to categorize).You can see in the Library Analytics Modal within Figma that they group variants under their main components (I’m assuming using the file hierarchy to group them) but this isn’t available in the API.

Anyone have ever know the flow, after we done testing what we did in figma make, possible to go live, production system, using our own domain , hosting etc. Anywant have idea, new here, please do advice if possible the steps. thanks

I don’t want to use an education plan, I just want to use the basic free version. Is there any way to skip it?

I wanted to create a ring and add a stroke, normally what I do is: 1. I create a circle2. I convert the shape to outlines3. I add a stroke to the outline shape againHowever now when I create a ring and then convert it to outline stroke it adds a weird stroke at the bottom (that I also cannot remove without “destroying” the ring) What should I do - anyone familiar with this problem? Is it a bug?  

 Once the website is ready, how do I hand it over to the client? Will the website be linked to my Figma, or will the client have to create their own and pay for it? And if the website remains linked to my Figma, will it stop working if I stop paying? Or will it work, but the client won't be able to make changes? Or do I need to transfer the website to another platform? Help pls

Hello community. i created a bento grid style website consisting of 8 bento cards [i.e one card use vector(logo), other use text, another an image,etc]. Each card will have its unique animation. my question is : shall  I create component with variant for each card, then include all in the bento frame? i am a beginner in figma and would like your advise on how best to do it.

Deleted variable mode keep showing up in the right inspector panel when no objects are selected. However, they don’t appear in the Variables panel when searched. 

I’m a BIG fan of figma I use it everyday for work and personal designs. I started using figma’s recent product figma sites in Beta. It’s amazing. My first impression after using figma sites was “Im going to make so many sites soo many…..”. Today out of blue I tested one of my website on www.websitecarbon.com I got a “F” rating, dirtier than 83% of all web pages globally. Is it the resources im using on the website or is it the hosting? I’m reading more about websitecarbon’s rating system.

When multiple frames are selected simultaneously and the shortcut key Shift + S is pressed, why can't a section be created directly?

Is it possible to lock everything (and prevent access to design mode) except editing text and uploading images on templates? Some users are changing fonts (size, style, etc.). It would be great to have more control other than just totally locking components.

I am creating component sets from an icon kit as an intern assignment, and so far I’ve been doing it manually and it’s hellish. Any tips?

Hi everyone,I’m really hoping someone here can help, because I’m stuck and support hasn’t replied.I accidentally added one extra full seat to my plan (I already had 2 collaborators). I removed it right after, thinking that would cancel it — and it was never assigned or used.But now I’ve been charged for it anyway, and I still see 1 unassigned full seat showing up as "available" in the billing section. I can’t find any way to cancel or remove it.Has anyone had the same issue? I really don’t want to be billed again for a seat I’m not using.Thanks in advance!

🚀 Exploring the Best Prompts for Figma Make Lately, I’ve been experimenting with Figma Make to streamline the design-to-code workflow. While it’s an exciting tool, I’ve noticed that prompts play a huge role in getting meaningful and usable outputs. I’ve tried several approaches, but sometimes I still get “stuck” with prompts that Figma Make doesn’t fully understand. That’s why I’d love to hear from the community about the best practices you’ve discovered. One of the challenges I’m facing is figuring out whether it’s possible to create prompts that help split files in Figma Make. At the moment, most of the code tends to merge into a single apps.tsx file, which makes it harder to manage. I’m curious if anyone has found prompt strategies that encourage better file structuring. I also wonder if there’s a particular prompt format that works best in Figma Make. Sometimes it feels like the output changes drastically depending on how the prompt is written, so having a clearer understanding of

I've attached a screenshot of the App template. There are five tabs (Shop, Newsstand, Who we are, My Profile Basket). I want to add a sixth tab, similar to the Shop tab, or can't I create anything else, only edit it within the template?Thank you!

  All the primitives have been selected to HIDE and it still shows up under APPEARANCE. Why?

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a game-changer across industries, and design is no exception. From generating layouts to speeding up repetitive tasks, AI tools are helping designers save time and focus on creativity.I recently came across an interesting resource on this topic: AI in Design – worth checking if you’re curious about practical applications.I’m curious to hear from the community: How do you see AI integrating with Figma in the near future? Are there specific tasks (like wireframing, color palette generation, or prototyping) where you’d love to see AI assistance? Do you think AI can truly support creative thinking, or should it only handle repetitive/manual parts of the design process? Let’s start a discussion—what are your thoughts on AI + Figma?

Hi everyone,I’m learning Figma by making a Spotify mobile design clone. In the search section, I created a status bar (fixed at the top) and a search bar below it.When I prototype and scroll, the search bar hides behind the status bar instead of stopping just bottom of status bar. I can’t simply group the status bar and search bar together, because there’s a section in between.I’m attaching two short videos:1.Current prototype → shows the issue (search bar hiding behind status bar).2. Expected behavior → what I’m trying to achieve (search bar sticks just below status bar).Has anyone faced this issue? How can I make the search bar stick below the status bar without overlapping?Any suggestions, articles, or video tutorials would be really helpful!

For the past few months I’ve been able to see my images on my file but for the past few days all the previews have disappeared & I’ve tried to update Figma, update my computer, clear my Figma cache and nothing has worked. The images are still within the Figma but I just can’t view them

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create an expandable accordion linked to an underlying element (body) that scrolls below the first one regardless of whether the accordion is open or closed.Thank you in advance 

Hello! I want to copy a gradient from illustrator and paste it in figma as a vector. I tried importing it as an svg but the gradient appears as an image, not a vector. Also, direct copy paste doesn’t work either. Is there any solutions or should I create the gradients from scratch in figma?Thank you!

Hello everyone! We are trying to buy a subscription for Figma Professional. The problem is that my company makes payments only by invoices, not with a card. Is there a way to get the subscription by getting an invoice? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m new to Figma and exploring its features for design and collaboration. I’d love to know what resources, tips, or best practices you recommend for beginners to quickly get comfortable with the platform. Also, what plugins or workflows do you find most helpful for improving efficiency when working on projects, especially in team environments? Any advice or experiences would be really valuable for me and other newcomers.

Please help me check when my education plan will expire 

Hello,As a teacher at two interactive design schools, I use two edu accounts (I also have a basic personal account). One edu account per school, as their educational programs are not the same, with the appropriate email address. I therefore received a verification message for both schools. One of the accounts has been validated, but when I try to validate the second one, it tells me that I have already validated it, or that I have exceeded my verification limit (while still showing me the countdown and notification to verify it). How can I resolve this?
