Hey everyone, I’m struggling with instance swapping for icons. In my icon library, I have 2–3 color variations and 2–3 size variations for the same icon, and it’s a pretty large library. I’ve already corrected the naming and layers according to best practices and expected the swap to work, but the icon button color still doesn’t stay preserved when I change variations. Has anyone faced this issue before? Any ideas on how to solve it?Also, I’d really appreciate if someone could share an example of how to structure naming conventions when managing multiple icon sizes and color variations. Thanks in advance!

Здравствуйте! В браузерной версии не запускаются плагины. Помогите пожалуйста с решением проблемы.[Moderator note — English translation: “Hello! Plugins aren't running in the browser version. Please help me solve this problem.”]

Problem: When I apply the Underline decoration formatting to text that includes a superscripted ‘registered trademark’ symbol (this is a non negotiable inclusion), the underline hugs the baseline of the superscript part, so visually the line breaks between the non-superscripted characters. Font being used is Arial for accessibility reasons so it cannot be changed.I have seen other users posting this issue as far back as 2024 and there has clearly been no fix other than the suggestion to change fonts which is not possible. Arial is such a universally used system font I can’t understand why this is even an issue to begin with.Below is an illustrated breakdown of the issue: Desired effect... ...and what I get in Figma. 

Hi Figma team,I submitted my plugin Slotify for review over a month ago, and it’s still showing as “In Review” with no updates so far.I completely understand that review timelines can vary depending on volume, but the lack of any communication makes it hard to know whether things are progressing normally or if something is stuck.I also tried reaching out via support, but haven’t been able to get clarity on the status.Could someone please help with:Confirming if Slotify is still in the active review queue Let me know if there’s anything pending or required from my side Sharing an approximate timeline or best way to follow upPlugin name: SlotifyCategory: Software Development / Design SystemsHappy to provide any additional details if needed.Thanks for your time and for reviewing submissions—just want to make sure this hasn’t slipped through the cracks. Best,Nikhil

Hi, we were setting up our color variables for light and dark mode and noticed that the preview of the colors in dark mode do not represent the actual value behind it. Anyone has any idea why this happens and how to fix it?  A little backstory, we have set up core, base and applied tokens in the variables window. The base level is where we set up theming. However, in our applied level we sometimes overwrite a color for a specific token in dark mode. However, when we do this, the preview seems to show the colors as presented in light mode instead of dark mode. When we actually apply the token, it all works properly, it is just the preview in the variables window that shows the wrong color.

Hey Figma community!I’m a clothing designer, and I’m trying to create a portfolio website, but I don’t know much about coding or Figma’s coding features.I used Figma Make to generate a webpage that includes secondary and third-level menus. Then I tried using a Chrome extension to convert the Figma Make page into an actual website, but it only captured the first page.Is there any way to include all the submenus when converting or exporting the page?What I really want to do is add images to different blocks on the page, but the Figma Make agent hasn’t been able to do it correctly so far.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

After purchasing a 1-month Professional full membership, my usage was exhausted within one day, and it was supposed to renew after one month. To prevent renewal, I downgraded my membership to the Starter (free) plan. However, yesterday the 1-month fee was charged to my card again, while my account still shows as a free membership. Additionally, since I am on the free plan, I no longer have access to the admin/billing page, so I cannot manage permissions or settings. What should I do?

Hi Figma team,I submitted my plugin "LoopLab — Animate Selection" for review about 19 days ago and haven't received any feedback yet — no approval, rejection, or requests for changes.Plugin details:- Name: LoopLab — Animate Selection- Plugin ID: 1623902564214223817- Link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1623902564214223817- Category: Editing & effects- Submitted by: Laraib Office- Support email: [Removed PII - Adam 2026-04-30]The plugin is a loop animation studio that lets users select Figma frames and create scrolling banners, text tickers, and animated slideshows with transitions — then export as GIF or PNG. It runs entirely in the browser with no backend, no data collection, and no authentication.I understand the team is handling a high volume of submissions, but I wanted to check if my submission is in the queue and hasn't been missed. I'd appreciate any update on the status.Thank you for your time!

I am trying to change the color of my product, when color picker is being clicked. I have created “Local Variables”, also I have created Instance of the images, but I can’t seem to change the images up above. I am new in figma prototyping, please help me out! https://www.figma.com/design/uGbDTi3HygHqtXQZqkoyfh/SONARA?node-id=377-569&t=hO7AeZ4gymJeocSK-1

Hello,Could you please provide an update on the review status of my plugin "Rennu"?Rennu is a Japanese-inspired gradient generator that allows designers to create atmospheric, noise-textured gradients directly inside Figma — without switching to external tools. Designers can adjust colors, noise, blur, direction and grain, then export or apply the result instantly.The plugin has been in review for some time and I would love to understand if there is anything needed from my side to move the process forward.Thank you for your time.

I want to make a menu with 2 state (default and hover state), so I made a component for that and it works fine. but I also want that component when I hover it will open an overlay. so, I need the two interaction working at the same time when I hover it.It actually work. but there is maybe a bug or I don’t know for sure. so, when I hover the menu, it does making teh two interaction (change state and open an overlay), but when I drag away my mouse, the overlay doesn’t close by it self as I expected. is this a bug? or I miss something?please anyone if you know how to fix this, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,I applied for the Figma EDU Bootcamp program on March 31, 2026 for Accelist Edukasi Indonesia, and I received the confirmation email mentioning the review process may take 2–4 weeks depending on volume.I also sent a follow-up email today, but haven’t received any update yet.Has anyone recently applied and heard back from the Figma Education team? How long did the review process take for you?Would really appreciate any insights. Thank you!

Do you sometimes lose yourself in your figma page? You’ve done one design and you literally can’t find it anywhere. Zooming in, out, left, right, up, down, searching in your layers to see if you can go to that frame. I had this problem, but then i thought, wouldn’t it be good to have a little page map on the bottom of your screen to show you where your wireframes are on the page. If anyone has a hack or thinks this might be useful let me know! 

I thought it was just my bluetooth keyboard glitching out, but cmd + z is not undoing any action, nor is going to the Edit menu > Undo. Has anyone encountered this issue before? And if so, how did you resolve it?

Hi,Our team has been creating multiple pages using Figma Make. However, we realized that all the pages are in separate files, and we can’t figure out how to connect them with Prototype mode.We want to: Combine several Make pages (Landing, Dashboard, Courses, etc.) into one Design file. Add Prototype links between the frames (e.g., from the Landing page to the Dashboard). Is there a way to convert or duplicate Make files into regular Figma Design files so that we can use the Prototype feature?

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with Figma Make. It seems like the autosave isn't working properly: every time I try to close the file, I get a warning saying that my changes are not saved, even though I've been working on it for a while.The biggest problem is that I’ve wasted all my AI credits repeating the same prompt dozens of times. I was trying to apply the same edit repeatedly because the changes simply wouldn't show up in the Prototype mode.Basically, I paid the "credit price" for the generation multiple times, but since the file failed to sync/save, I have nothing to show for it and now my quota is empty.Has anyone encountered this "save loop" or found a way to force a sync when Figma Make hangs? Also, is there a way to contact support for a credit refund in cases of technical glitches like this?Thanks for any help!

After creating an asset in Figma Buzz, I export it to PDF. However, when the asset opens in Adobe Reader, the name of the asset matches the Figma name, which I use an internal naming scheme for.I don’t want to email an asset with an internal name that’ll be visible to customers.But, I can’t seem to discover how to avoid this without having to do a separate step post-export.So, QUESTION: is there a way to control the display title of the PDF export without having to change my internal naming convention?

Hi Im Claudia. I cant access my account. It says that You no longer have access to this organization. My cc is deducted but still me and my team unable to access it. My id is an admin. I already submitted the ticket but still no follow up until today. Please kindly help. Thank you

Hi Figma team,First, congratulations on the Slots feature. It’s a smart idea and performs very well in my tests.Issue summaryWhen migrating components that previously relied on “Swap instance,” I have to add a wrapper frame around the existing instance to use a Slot. Then, every time I place that component, I end up deleting or replacing the inner instance to populate the slot. This breaks my expected workflow: I want to continue using the original instance as the default slot content so that when I instantiate the component I don’t need to manually remove the inner instance each time. Also, if I delete the instance that served as the swap source, the child components lose their contents (the previously swapped instances).What would be your recommendations for managing the migration from the old system to this new feature?

Help! I’m the first designer in the company for 2 years and the Figma files are all over the shop. I’m logged in as the finance woman, and have created my own work email. But how do I get access to the work files with my new Figma email?Also, and more importantly, all the files are now ‘locked’. They were editable on Friday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Figma doesn’t allow you to bind variables at the component source level, and you can bind only at the instance. This breaks down in real use cases where components require unique variant configurations that can’t be predetermined at the variable level. That limitation makes modes ineffective for true desktop-to-mobile automation. In such cases, you need to change the variant and change the mode to get a true platform conversion. Is there a suggested workaround?

My team has noticed an issue with slots: we’ve created structural (private) components that we want to set as a preferred instance in a component’s slot. However, since those structural components aren’t published, designers will not be able to see them or use them as a preferred instance. For example: Structural component: single radio button optionMain component: Radio button group, with slot to add additional radio button options I’m able to set the preferred instance of the main component’s slot to use the structural component. However, when you try to use the component in an actual file it doesn’t work. You can’t see the structural component as a preferred instance since it’s not published.  Is there a way around this? We have a number of structural components like this that we don’t want to have to publish. For now, we’re going to have to publish them with specific naming on not to use outside of a slot.

Is there any way in Figma where we can lock the design project for further updates. Currently the engineers starts consuming the Figma designs but there is a possibility that UX team updates the designs/colors etc which will impact engineering work.Figma also do not have the change log to verify the past designs. So I am looking for a locking mechanism for save development.
