Your Google Fonts in Figma Sites are not up to date. I have some upcoming client work I’m excited to show using Sites’ responsive features but the Google Fonts we’re working with in their brand aren’t showing in Figma, therefore they won’t display in preview. Can we push that update through? Thanks,H.

Hello! We are an English language school. We use Figma for classes with students. Each board is used by a teacher and one or more students.If we want to use the paid version of Figma (Professional or Organization), do we have to pay for each seat only for our teachers (i.e., our employees) or also for students?

I used to be able to grant view-only permissions on a specific project (folder) to someone who has edit permissions at the team level. Is this no longer possible?I want to grant only 'can view' access to a specific project, but it seems that 'can edit' permission is being automatically assigned. I'm seeing a tooltip that says, 'This person can still edit, because they have edit permission on the team the file is in.

I really need help on working around Connected Project not allowing between Org/Pro with same email domain. If someone have experience on solving this it would be a great help. Our project is being delayed and we really need a solution. Four company with same work email domain (because same holding company) All teams have a figma Org/Pro that was made with work email domain.  Our company has Design System Library we use among our internal teams.  We have a mega project, where we need to share this library with other 3 companies. We are attempting to have connected projects for each company, and allow our library usage. Figma won’t allow connected project due to same email domain. (below error) "Connecting team owner's email domain cannot match your organization's email domain"We tried the other company make an ID with gmail domain an admin, and create a team and become an owner of that team. This however did not work. Can anyone suggest a different approach? Or am I not doing this work

I need to switch to a new login for the Deck plugin on Figma. I can mangae plugins and remove the plugin from the menu but the next time I run it I’m still using the current liscence. How do I change liscenses? Thank you!!!

I want to change all the fonts, but I currently have thousands of pages, and my device can't handle the current feature. Is there a solution that only changes the fonts on a few pages?

Hi all,When I create a shape, fill it with an image, and set it to ‘crop’ I used to be able to adjust the size and placement of the image.For some reason now I can only adjust the size of the shape, and not the image that is filling it.How can I get this functionality back? Google and ChatGPT have told me to click on the thumbnail in the fill section, or double click on the image on the canvas, but neither of these work. They just open up the option to edit the shape again.Screenshot attached for reference.Hoping I’m missing something simple. 

In my Figma mobile prototype, I have a bottom navigation bar set to ‘Fix position when scrolling’. It appears correctly in desktop prototype preview (with iPhone 14 device selected) but when I open the shared prototype link on my actual phone, the bar is not visible until I change it ‘scroll with parent’. How can I make it appear fixed and visible immediately on mobile?

Hi, I have lost an important file on Figma and I can’t find the file in any of my projects section or in the deleted section. It just disappeared completely and when I tried to access it through a past link, I am getting the following message: You can’t access this resource Contact the owner, an admin, or support for assistance. (Screenshot attached). I have a ton of my work in it and the file is very important to my work. I hope you could help me retrieve it. Thank you in advance,

“I’m trying to use the UI3 version interface but it’s not being updated. Has anyone found a way to work around this issue?”

Hi, I try to add a call to Clade API throught a Figma Make project. I know that I also must integrate it with Supabase, but I’m struggling of how to do it. Any help, please?  

Hi I am working on a project where I have to create a draggable button interaction in side a menu. But I am not able to do because of lack of knowledge on prototyping. Can someone help me with a tutorial or something?

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around color variables in Figma Slides. Here’s my expectation:We have a component library file in Figma Design with colors variables and text-styles (which are also powered or “constructed” by variables). I’d like to create a new slide template for our product/company and would like to have maximum efficiency by just re-using what is already there and connecting the existing variables and text-styles in the Figma Slides feature. But it seems like this is not working?Here’s what’s happening:When I’m adding our component library file under Assets I get the option to pick a color for fills and text and switch to Libraries where my added library styles come up. But instead of linking this variable (such as in Figma Design), Figma Slides seems to create it’s own? So a separate color entity that just takes the values of the variable once, but will never update if I publish library updates.LOL? Why? Am I missing something? Am I holding it wrong? If it i

Hi,I have an updated version of a font which been used in our organization. I have removed the old version and installed the new one, but there is still the old font I see in my shared Figma files. For my personal Figma files I can get the new font by double clicking all textboxes, but not in my organizational shared files. Does anybody know how I can solve this? Could it be related to cache? Or do everyone in the organization need to update the font, if they havn’t yet? There is no shared fonts uploaded to our organization in Figma, it all relates to fonts locally installed.Thanks!

I’ve been dealing for some time with the quirks of using fonts as icons and Figma’s somewhat temperamental application of component variables, and I figured it was long since time to reach out here and maybe get some thoughts on how to better approach this.Where I’m at now:Currently, we’re using Font Awesome. Their figma system is comprehensive, but simple - it just gives you a base icon with a large variety of options, but lets you replace the text to get the glyph you want.Screenshot of Font Awesome’s official Figma file.This is a nice beginning, but I also want the convenience and guardrails of selected, specific icons for approved usage - designers shouldn’t be grabbing any text out of FA, and we can do this by providing more typical layout of icons. So, my stuff:I’ve taken Font Awesome’s setup, taken out all the states I don’t need, and created a “base icon”. This component has options for Background shape, Padding, Icon style, Size, and of course the icon text itself.My version o

Possible bug: Currently, when I use the paste and replace option (either via keyboard shortcut of the menu options), instead of the thing I copied replacing the thing I selected, the text of the thing I copied replaces the thing I selected. I need it to work as before, where the entire thing I copied (component, section, frame, etc) replaced the thing I selected. There are a few older posts regarding the copy and paste+replace; however, I believe my experience is novel.

Is there a way to export a Figma screen with the overlay included?I don’t want to just take a screenshot in presentation mode since it doesn’t look very professional.What I usually do is duplicate my screens with the modal and an opaque background, but that ends up wasting time.Thanks in advance for any answers.

Anyone ever used figma make? especially until finish it and try to deploy?I’m tried to download generated code from figma make and deployed it to github and vercel. It is doesnt work, seems because the structure is not common. now I still host the website in figma but connect it to a new domain. my question is, does figma make code able to deployed and continue the development as functional website? or it is just mare prototype? does figma has plan to make it website builder like lovable or V0?I also trying to implement Google Analytics, but despite Figma Make's reported implementation using the provided script, GA testing consistently failsany help will really appreciated, thanks!

hi everybody. I’m trying to add fonts to the web version of Figma, install FigmaAgent, everything is fine. But fonts are not enabled in the panel, the message local fonts are currently not enabled. I tried to turn on WebGL - it didn’t help. My Mac is HighSierra 10.13.6. Chrome Browser

Hi , I am designing an app with audio guides to lead users through a series of tasks. I want to add the audio to my Figma prototype. I have been unable to successfully add the audio. If you have experience with successfully adding audio to Figma file, could you share how you did it? Thank you!

Hi, I am preparing a few prototypes in Figma Make and I’m going to present to stakeholders, but I need to limit the access to the published URL’s because or our company Privacy and Security policies. But even Figma Make file privacy is set to “Only those invited”, for the published URL I cannot control the visibility and this leads to a privacy problem, I don’t want to have this links public , but only private shared within our organization only. Is there a way to configure it? 

Hey Figma community!I’ve been working heavily with a custom plugin I helped develop. It generates components that I then publish to our team library for designers to use. My main frustration is this:Whenever I make updates to those components and push a new version, all instances in other files stay stuck on the old version. Designers have to manually remove and reinsert components—or use "Update All"—and that's error-prone and time-consuming.What I’ve tried so far:Ensured the components are in the correct library and version. Used “Swap Library” in Figma file settings. Asked team members to click “Update all instances” when prompted—but relying on that hasn’t been reliable.What I’d love to know from you all:Is there a smoother way—maybe via Figma plugin API—to push updates so instances refresh automatically? Does anybody use Design Tokens or another pattern (like overrides via JSON) to simplify versioning and updates? Have any of you scripted an automated workflow—via Figma plugin or

Is there a way to expose all nested properties, at once, for a Figma component with lots of varients?

Hi everyone ,When it comes to marketplace app development, one of the biggest decisions developers and businesses face is choosing between cross-platform frameworks (like Flutter or React Native) and native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android).Cross-platform solutions are praised for faster development, shared codebases, and reduced costs—but sometimes raise concerns about performance, device integration, and scalability. On the other hand, native apps often provide smoother performance, deeper platform features, and stronger long-term stability, though at higher development and maintenance costs.I’d love to hear your thoughts: Which approach do you think works best for marketplace apps with multi-vendor support, secure payments, and real-time updates? Have you faced challenges with scalability, performance, or user experience when choosing one over the other? Do you believe cross-platform frameworks have matured enough to match native apps in complex use cases like
