PreviewSo, I have a case for creating a kitchen order system. If any item is clicked, it should automatically move to the back (become the last in the order) and this action can be repeated until all items have the “delivered” status. Is there any advanced prototyping feature that can make this happen without having to create a separate prototype for each case?Thanks guys 😀

Hello. Can u help me.In the new Figma update, I can no longer move objects with the arrow keys while holding ALT+Shift. I used to do that to see the exact pixel distance and align everything precisely, but now I can’t. How can I get that back?

One of my design files is missing, and this file is very important to me since it contains all my design work. I am the only file owner, and I didn’t delete my file, and I am using the right account to access it.I recently tried to access it through my browsing history, but it now says I need to request access, which is really strange because I’m the only owner of this file. After I clicked “Request Access,” I did not receive a notification because I am the only person who can access the file. I just opened it last Monday. My ticket number is 1569586 and my file link is  https://www.figma.com/design/AUz125OdNPBHRi2YRYb5mf/Workspace?fuid=1420840222826442576 I have contact with the Figma support team and got very general email response today sugge

This is really important for me.

Hey everyone,I’ve been using Figma Make to build my website and noticed that it generates a lot of React code with many components. I have a few questions: Is there a way to export or download the entire project as a .zip file, instead of manually copy-pasting the code into my local environment? Since I don’t need all the React code, is there a way to export only the design, or better yet, convert or export the Figma Make project into a Figma Design project? In Figma Design, we can use plugins like Builder.io — are plugins like that also available for Figma Make? Would really appreciate any guidance from anyone. Thanks!

Hey y'all, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I just added a user to my team account, when I meant to swap their seat with another user who was no longer using it. So now I have this unused seat I'm going to be billed for - and I can't find any way to remove it. I've googled and chatted with their AI bot. Can anyone point me to where I can remove an unused seat so I'm not billed for it?Can someone from figma also please explain the decision to hide this UX and make it so unclear?

I am seeing this, reliably, after every revision in my make prototype. Sometimes multiple times between revisions. I am like 770 prompts deep and this is a pretty complex front-end, so maybe it has to do with size/memory or something? My connection is fine and I don’t seem to have the problem on new prototypes.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a plugin or any kind of workaround that would allow me to use the Bulgarian Cyrillic character set of SF Pro in Figma. The font itself supports localized variants for Cyrillic (including Bulgarian), but Figma seems to default to the Russian Cyrillic version — which makes some of the letters (like “б”, “д”, “и”, “й”, “л”, “п”, “т”) appear in the wrong form. I’ve checked all available settings, but I couldn’t find an option to choose the correct localization or enable OpenType features related to language-specific alternates. Does anyone know of a plugin, workaround, or hidden setting that could fix this?It would be amazing if there was a way to tell Figma to use the Bulgarian localization of SF Pro automatically. Thanks in advance!

I have a complex design with lots of mobile app screens and their variants, which are organised into frames with auto layout. When I handover the designs to the developers, it is absolutely crucial for me to have the ability to have a link that directly opens and focuses any nested frame on the canvas, not only the top level frame.Is there any way to achieve this? I found some users talking about “link to frame” functionality (right-click the selected frame and selecting “Copy/paste as” > “Link to frame”, but I do not see any “link to frame option” in my Figma desktop app nor the web app. It seems like this feature has been discontinued in favour of “Copy link to the whole page” feature (using CMD+L shortcut).I really do not want to ungroup the frames because I will loose the ability to group them automatically into sections which are adjusting their width and height automatically based on their content, because the content itself is highly dynamic, (the visibility

I created Component 1 with multiple size variants, then made another component called Component Test that contains Component 1. When I duplicate a Component Test instance and switch the nested Component 1 to a different variant, the height doesn’t update correctly. Why is the nested component’s auto layout height not behaving as expected?

Hello community, i recently created a few projects with figma make feature, and i would like to transform the whole project to my wordpress website with all the functions and features.. i tried to first transform the project to a design but the functions get lost afterwards, i just have a simple design which is not what i seek.. anybody who knows a way around can reply here, and we discuss on the next steps.. thank you

Hi, I’m looking for a way to add metadata to component instances. I know we can add some configuration descriptions to the main component or its variants,but what I need is a way to add metadata to individual instances. Here’s an example of what I’m trying to do:In the component library, I create a select box/dropdown component.- Then, in the final design file (which is connected to the library), I place an instance of the dropdown and label or comment on it as “Type select option.”, to document it how the dropdown component is being used in this specific case.- I also want to attach a spreadsheet, document, or some kind of text where I can explain the list of options in the “Type select option” dropdown. Is there any way to do something like this in Figma other than just using annotations or comments

Hey everyone,I’m still learning the basics of SEO and had a question I couldn’t quite find a clear answer to. If a website gets backlinks from older blogs or sites that don’t get much traffic anymore, do those links still provide value for rankings?I know that high-authority and active sites are usually better, but I’m wondering if a link from a quiet or less-active blog still counts in Google's eyes — even a little bit. Does anyone know how Google views those kinds of links today?

Hello everyone,I'm facing a significant workflow issue when exporting from Figma to React, and I'm hoping the community can help me find a solution.Current Situation:My Figma file uses Untitled UI design system with properly configured variables (colors, spacing, typography, border radius, etc.) I've verified the variables are correctly set up: Colors/Brand/500, spacing-md, Text md/Semibold, radius-lg, etc. When I export/generate code from Figma, I get React code with custom Tailwind classes instead of Untitled UI componentsThe Problem (with real examples):What Figma exports:  jsx// Button<div className="shadow-[0px_0px_0px_1px_rgba(10,_13,_18,_0.18)_inset] rounded-num-8 bg-brown border-gray-400 border-solid border-[2px] overflow-hidden flex items-c

We are designing an application that helps users to create/develop a web application from prompt and part of this we wanted to generate the Figma designs and get the approval from users before we develop the application.This will help users know how the application is going to look like and enable them to make any changes to it.I’m looking for suggestions on how do we do this? Are ther any plugins that I can use or Does the MCP server supports this use case. 

Hey everyone!I’m exploring ways to streamline document handling in our design workflow. Sometimes clients or vendors still require faxed documents like signed approvals or contracts, and I’d love to move this process fully digital.Has anyone here integrated sending and receiving faxes online into their design or collaboration workflow, perhaps alongside Figma or other creative tools?I’m curious which online fax platforms work best for designers or agencies, especially ones that maintain document quality and security. How do you handle these situations efficiently without disrupting your creative process?Any tips or recommendations are welcome!

I sent a query on figma for educators and students and has not received any feedback. How long do I wait til I get a response?

I'm participating in a Connected Project as a guest and encountering an issue with Figma MCP.Around September, I was able to use Figma MCP without any problems, but recently it has started returning the following error:Error: This resource couldn't be accessed. IMPORTANT: Before continuing, you must tell the user to make sure their paid Figma seat includes Dev Mode access, they have the right permissions for this file, and the provided link is valid.I have a Full Seat on my own team and can edit files in the guest project, so I don't believe there are any permission issues. (I can access files from my own team via the MCP server.)The host is on an Org Plan, and I'm a guest on a Pro Plan.I'm using the desktop MCP server.Does anyone have any information about this?

MacBook Pro Pro M3, this is what the application window looks like. It only works in the Safari browser. How can I solve this problem?

Hello, I always have a lot of trouble connecting to my institutional email from my smartphone.I need to connect my Educational Plan account, which I opened with my university's institutional email, to a private email address. Is there a way to do this? Or is it possible to connect a secondary email address to the main one?Thank you very much.

Hey everyone,I’m trying to update an existing component that was originally designed for mobile. I want to create desktop variants of it, and I’d like to add a new property called “Device” with two values: “Mobile” and “Desktop.”I haven’t used Figma since the new UI update, and somehow this simple task feels impossible now 😅Here’s what I tried: Selected the main component set Added a new Text property called “Device” Went to one of the variants to assign that property…but the new property doesn’t show up at all when I select a variant. Am I missing something obvious here? Is there a new way to add properties that apply to all variants (like it used to be)?My brain is broken — any help would be super appreciated!

Cline (vibe coding tool) is insisting that Figma MCP cannot provide gradient values, and is telling me the only way for it to grab gradient values is by guessing from a screenshot or having me provide directly. I can’t imagine this is the case-- or is that accurate?

Hello, I have a question and something I have been struggling to figure out. I am putting together a set of carousel cards that would feature video and image. With Carousel there is a featured card and two cards that normally would peak on the left and right. In my design I am taking advantage of using the figma responsive feature this way I can reduce the amount of components I am creating.  When I try to pull the card with. the cards peaking on the left and right I noticed that the card on the right is not responsive to me downsizing the width. This is because I cannot set the card to fill or else it will show or places itself in the viewport.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  There has got to be a way to pull in the right card when i resize whats in the frame.  Tha

I'm prototyping in Figma Sites, and I want to create an interaction where:A user clicks on something (like a button). After a delay, another action happens — like setting a variable or triggering another interaction.In Figma Design, I used to do this by:Using components with hidden states. Using change to I could nest an after delay function Setting an "After Delay" interaction on the hidden state to trigger the next action.But in Figma Sites, I can't define components, and anything created outside that will be out of scope so I can't use hidden states to manage delayed actions — and that’s where I’m stuck.

Hello!I created the animation on a separate page beforehand because I couldn’t get it to work initially. The animation consists of two Frames, but when I move it to its intended location inside a Frame, both Frames just sit next to each other with no animation happening.If I move it outside the Frame, I can set it as a starting point and the animation works as expected. But inside the layout Frame, it stops working.Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to make an animation between two Frames work inside a Frame?
