Hi community, I'm currently reworking the frontend data layout for a public menu directory and nutrition calculator hub. Managing large tables with multiple dynamic vectors (like pricing structures, age-appropriate caloric counts, macros, and allergen warnings) is becoming a huge headache when optimizing for mobile-first rendering.On our main directory page here: https://chickensaladchickmenu.us/, we implemented a clean responsive grid system using compact UI cards for the younger demographic's data sheet, but standard clinical tables still look cluttered on small screens. How do you guys usually handle massive multi-column data sheets in your design projects? Do you prefer sticky column headers, horizontal swipe indicators, or hiding advanced nutritional metrics behind an expandable overlay trigger? Would love some layout inspiration or component tips!

I want to downgrade my team from figma education to starter.I upgraded my team to Education, but some of my team members can't authenticate Figma Education, so I need to downgrade it.

I went to buy the Figma Config 2026 in-person ticket and it got sold out. Just need to buy one. 

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get hold of the Figma Android APK? I’d like to sideload it onto a device which does not have access to the Play Store in order to test a prototype in situ.

So, for my class I have to remake my prototype of my app which is a whack-a-mole style game, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the image of the coin that I'm using as the mole to move in random places after you click it.Like in applab/codelab ⇓I'm having trouble doing the same thing in Figma and tried looking it up to see if I could find an answer but haven’t found a single helpful answer. I've figured out the timer and score except for the coin. So, I would love for some tips or directions on how to do it.

I have a dev seat which is paid. Now I want to convert to a full seat. I don’t want to add another full seat. suggest the way 

Hey Figma community 👋I've been working with Figma for a while now and I keep seeing the same pain points come up — both from people I've helped and from questions I see repeated here constantly. So I wanted to put this out there: if you're stuck, I'm happy to help.Here are the problems I help people solve most often:Components and variants breaking — props not showing up, instances overriding incorrectly, nested component logic going wrong Auto layout chaos — frames not behaving as expected, spacing/padding resetting, wrapping issues, or responsive layouts falling apart Variables and styles confusion — setting up token systems, colour modes, typography variables, or syncing styles across pages/files Design system organisation — structuring files for teams, setting up a shared library that doesn't create chaos when updated Prototype and interaction logic — conditional flows, interactive components, or overlays that just won't behave Plugin and widget issues — finding the right plugin f

Figma just hit me with surprise charges and won't refund - anyone else?Ugh, I'm so frustrated right now. Figma basically scammed me out of $33.87 and their support is being useless about it.What went down: We're a tiny team, only need 2 seats. But somehow our June bill had these random "new seat costs" for $33.87 that I never asked for. Like... what?The breakdown:2 Full seats (what we actually use): $40 ✓ Mystery charges: $33.87 ❌Figma's excuse: "Oh you approved it!" - umm no I didn't? When?? Where's the proof?Apparently when you change seat types, they hit you with "prorated charges" on your NEXT bill. Who tf knows what that even means? They never explained it when it happened.Support has been trash:First person: gave me a wall of text that explained nothing Second person: basically said "tough luck, you used the seats" Third person: "no refund because reasons"The most annoying part: They keep saying I "approved" these upgrades but can't show me where/when I did that. Their system is

I am trying to design something where when I click one chip it becomes active and every other chip becomes inactive. I cannot achieve this no matter what I try. AI is telling me to write an expression in design mode; i cannot do this. This is for potentially hundreds of chips, I can’t make a variable for each one.Ideally I would like to do the following:In PROTOTYPE: When a chip is clicked, set a variable to that name. In DESIGN: In the instance, set its state to a condition, ie “if chipName == [this chip], make this active. Otherwise inactive:I cannot find any way to do this. Someone please help me. AI says that there should be a f(x) button in the assign variable dropdown in design mode but it’s not there, despite me being on a pro plan. 

I have the integration working from Figma to Slack - comments appear in my slack channel but when I reply to them in a thread, the replies do not appear in the figma file. 

Hello,I am currently unable to activate my Figma Education plan, even though my education status has already been approved by SheerID.During my first verification attempt, there was a technical issue and I deleted my Figma account because I thought restarting the process would solve it.My team is already on an Education plan, and everyone in the team except me currently has full edit access. On my side, Figma still displays a message saying that I need to verify my education status, and that my edit access will soon be restricted.SheerID has confirmed that my verification was approved and provided me with the related verification details.The issue is that when I try to verify again, I receive an error saying that I have exceeded the number of verification attempts for this email. SheerID says they cannot reset anything because, on their side, the verification is already approved. Figma support has not replied to my emails yet.So I am currently stuck in a technical loop:SheerID verifica

I have a plugin to find accessibility issues. We fetch images, traverse the tree and do all sorts of operations but ever since migrating to the new documentAccess: ‘dynamic-page’, the plugin has become slower.

Hi team,I submitted my plugin “Site Palette” for review about two weeks ago, and it’s still showing as private with the message: “This page is private for now. Only you can see it while your plugin is in review.”The plugin connects to a palette.site account and imports saved website color palettes as Figma local variables. It passed submission without any errors, and I haven’t received any feedback or approval email since.Could someone please check the status and flag it internally? I’d really appreciate any update.Thanks!

I submitted my plugin for review on March 8th, and as of today (March 27th) I still haven't received any feedback from the Figma team. No approval, rejection, or requests for changes.That's over 20 days of waiting, while the submission form indicated a turnaround of 5-10 business days.Could anyone share how long the review process is currently taking? Is this wait time normal right now, or should I follow up somewhere specific?

Here’s my setup:I have a full website frame called “Desktop - 1”. Inside this frame, there is a transparent header/navbar placed over the hero image. The navbar contains: logo search icon navigation items (“Destinos”, “Experiências”, “Sobre”) burger menu login icon CTA button Originally, I built the navbar separately as isolated components and the hover animations worked perfectly.What I’m trying to achieve:When hovering “Destinos”, a green selector line appears underneath it. Same behavior for “Experiências” and “Sobre”. Smooth hover transition using Smart Animate.My current structure:“Desktop - 1” → full page/frame with hero section and transparent navbar. Separate component called “Component 4” → isolated navbar version with the green selector line under “Destinos”.The problem:When I integrate everything into the full desktop frame, the hover animation starts flickering/glitching.It looks like Figma is transitioning between:the full desktop frame and the isolated navbar compone

My dropdown is rendering underneath the rest of the content in Preview mode (see attached image).The dropdown frame/component is already at the top of the layer hierarchy, so I don’t think it’s a simple layer order issue. I’ve also checked the parent frames and, as far as I can tell, there’s no clipping/“Clip content” configuration causing it.This only happens in Preview mode. Inside the editor everything looks correct.Has anyone experienced something similar with overlays/dropdowns being rendered behind other elements in Prototype/Preview? Could this be related to nested frames, absolute positioning, auto layout, or some prototype rendering limitation/bug?Would really appreciate any insight 🙏  

I am the admin on my team’s account, and my dashboard is showing that the account is free, and I am no longer able to access any of the files, see the team, or access the admin panel. My team, however, are still able to access the files, and they still see the 7MC team that I created.The chat bot keeps telling me that support tickets are handled Monday-Friday. However, I submitted my support ticket two days ago and no one has responded. I have a few urgent things that need to be done, and this is starting to impact the business. I need it resolved quickly.

Hi everyone,I have been trying to import JSON file in Figma variables, But run into error all the time.This is my JSON code, what I’m doing wrong? is there any documentation for JSON format?[ { "name": "neutral/50", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#F6F5F4", "description": "Page backgrounds, app canvas" }, { "name": "neutral/600", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#796F6B", "description": "Tertiary text, metadata" }, { "name": "neutral/700", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#5E5652", "description": "Body text alternative" }, { "name": "neutral/800", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#453E3B", "description": "High-emphasis body text" }, { "name": "neutral/900", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#2D2825", "description": "Primary text (≈ Encre)" }, { "name": "neutral/950", "type": "COLOR", "value": "#1D1A18", "description": "Maximum contrast text" }] 

HeyyyI Cannot Publish Plugin update after enabling MFA . How can i fix that ? 

My plugin is currently in review. The private Community page says: “Only you can see it while your plugin is in review.”I’m the plugin author and I can see the page, but when I click “Open in...”, Figma opens a file and the plugin keeps loading forever.Local development version works, and local dist/manifest.json import also works.Is the “Open in...” button expected to work for authors before approval? Or is the private listing only for previewing the Community page while the plugin is under review?

I have a personal Pro Plan (Work as a freelancer) and wanted to change ownership of the file to one of my clients who do not have the Pro Plan.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Morse code learning interface in Figma where dots and dashes animate with different timing values during prototyping.The issue I'm facing is:Short signals (.) and long signals (-) require different animation durations Components inside Auto Layout shift unexpectedly during prototype playback Variable-based timing does not stay consistent when switching between interactive states Smart Animate sometimes merges frames incorrectly when repeated Morse characters appear consecutivelyExample:Input text: SOSExpected Morse playback:... --- ...Current behavior:Delays become inconsistent after several transitions Repeated elements overlap or reset unexpectedly Auto Layout spacing changes between statesWhat I’ve already tried:Separate components for dots and dashes Boolean variables for active/inactive states Interactive components with custom easing Nested Auto Layout framesHas anyone built a reliable signal/sequencing system in Figma for something like Morse code pl

I have been trying to pay our Figma invoice but have gotten no response from the billing team when I respond to the emails as I am told to do.I am on an organization account switching from a CC to invoice payment method and need a W9 to process the invoice. How/where do I got to get a response?

I’m doing a project with a map interaction. I wanted to magnify e section of a map using one overlay, then when the magnified version pops up, i want to interact with icons who are present in the magnified version. The problem is that when i try to open another overlay over the first one, the first overlay shuts off because I used the property “when mouse leave”. Any solution if I need to put multiple overlays on top of each other without closing them?
