[Rookie question] Is there an ideal layout grid for desktop and mobile? If so, what is it? Is my grid layout okay? on a 1980 width frame?

I am currently exploring ways to integrate user management capabilities into our internal tools and was wondering if Figma provides public APIs for managing user accounts within an organization. Specifically, I’m looking for APIs that allow for the following actions: Create (Provision) - Programmatically adding new users to our Figma organization. Read (List/Get Details) - Fetching a list of users and their details from our organization. Update - Updating user account details such as roles, permissions, or other attributes. Delete (Deprovision) - Removing users from our Figma organization. I am aware of the SCIM API functionality for user provisioning and deprovisioning, but I am interested in direct API calls that could be used without SCIM, preferably RESTful endpoints that we can interact with using standard HTTP methods. If such APIs are available, could you please provide guidance on how to access them, or point me to the relevant documentation? Any examples or additional resour

Hi! Is it possible to add a functionality where I first create an empty Layer and then I draw or paste objects on it? Right now on paste, the new Layer is created to an expected position among the existing Layers and I need to move it manually to the place I need it to be. Thank you very much.

Hi! I miss very much a functionality where I can use scrollTo a frame with a dynamic name, for example to frame named (‘images’+‘i’) where ‘i’ is a number. Thank you.

Since the last version of Figma desktop for Windows, the desktop app is not working - I cannot log it (clicking on “login with browser” opens the browser, but does not actually allow my to login, it stay the same “login with browser” even when clicking on login) How can I install an older version of Figma desktop?

I’m creating a prototype for a certification I’m doing and whenever I try to test my prototype, a little icon shows up out of nowhere. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE in my project file - even going layer to layer - and to be honest I’m kinda going insane with this.

I want to fix the header part, but for some reason I can’t select “Fix position when scrolling”. Please help if anyone knows what is going on. I’ve attached a screenshot of my figma screen. It’s in Japanese, but I’ve included a translation.

I want to know whether the user is pressing for example “command” currently or not. Can I know this within the Figma file? Not sure how else I would make my plugin as seamless as the rest of Figma. Thanks in advance for any help!

Another frame with precisely the same structure and settings works. But this doesn’t! Why?

I copied text from Chat Gpt and I cannot move the red bullet to get it to line up with the white bullet below. It’s immovable. Also from the which menu do I add bullets in Figma? (assuming I strip all Bullets from Chats’ answers first in Apple Text Edit) Thanks

I’m experiencing a peculiar issue with my Figma design. The colors in my design appear differently on my desktop compared to when I view them on my mobile device. Specifically, the colors seem accurate and vibrant on mobile but appear washed out or incorrect on desktopess 🔍 at the upper right to search. laptop is - Asus tuf f15 144hz

I have version 124.7.4 and a professional plan. Why am I not seeing the new ui or AI features? I am reading that it’s in limited roll out, but what does that mean? Individually, regionally, based on your plan? I am confused. The whole reason I upgraded to professional plan was for these features.

When will I gain access to AI Features? I just bought Figma Professional as I want to utilize First Draft as soon as possible.

Hi, I would like to enable the Figma AI feature in my account. Could you please guide me on how to activate it or let me know if there are any prerequisites?

I’ve recorded a Loom explaining this in full, but short version: For some reason when you duplicate pages in Figma that contain Components with Prototype links, it loses the links and you’ll need to relink your Prototype. The links become linked to “Ghost frames” that disappear when you change the link destination away from them If you Create a new page and then Copy and paste your elements, those links are retained This seems like a bug, given I’m assuming Duplicate should just be a quick way of Create New Page > Copy and Paste everything to that page

Hi, I am new to Figma, I have to install Figma via Microsoft Intune, the Windows version. If I run figmainstall.exe /? or /help it returns no parameters to allow for silent or unattended install. Does anyone here know if it is possible, we don’t want user interaction for the install. Thank you.

I’d like to know if it is possible to display two overlays - one that slides up from the bottom of the screen and another that slides down from the top of the screen with one tap on the screen. I have tried to do this and only one is showing at a time. I am not able to display two at once unless I create two hotspots, but I want both to be displayed by tapping on one hotspot.

Hi guys, I am working on a desktop app that is supposed to convert Figma designs into code directly. The problem I am with is about the SVG’s and how Figma works with them. When I use the API: “https://api.figma.com/v1/images/${fileKey}?ids=${svgIds}&format=svg” , Figma treats each path inside an SVG as an independent SVG with a path inside. This always starts when you copy an SVG into Figma, and it is represented as some vectors. This will make Figma export them as different vectors when it was supposed to be all part of one SVG. first image shows the svg. second image shows how Figma interprets the svg when i past it on the design

I am looking for advice for a workflow for setting up new project files using our base multibrand design system for websites. We are a digital agency who works with a new brand nearly every project, or work on projects that need to adhere to a brand we’ve set up for a project beforehand. We are developing an internal design system that we describe as the ‘bones’ of a website for every project we run, which we then customise for each brand (and sometimes project). So the underlying function and structure of our design system is mostly the same from project to project, but what changes are the visual things and metrics like colour, image assets such as patterns/photos/logos, typefaces, borders, padding, spacing, grid, etc. Our system is a set of core templates and components based on what we consider to be best practice for the web. So how they function, character limits, structure and content model, CMS admin experience, HTML page structure, bilingual interfaces, certain design consider

I have a large file with hundreds of card variants for one component. I need to create variants of the cards that are prototyped carousels. I think the carousels need to be their own components but how do I add hundreds of components in another larger component and have them be variants? Can I prototype each Indvidual carousel variant? Thank you!

Hi Figma Community, I’m encountering an issue when sharing my Figma prototype with clients. While everything works perfectly in the Figma Mirror app—where only clickable elements trigger navigation—the behavior changes when I share the prototype link. In the shared link, tapping on non-clickable areas (such as the background or empty spaces) still causes the prototype to navigate to the next screen. I want the shared prototype to behave like the Mirror app, where only interactive elements trigger transitions and non-clickable areas are ignored. Does anyone have a solution to ensure the shared link works the same way as the Mirror app for a seamless client experience? Thanks for your help! anyone & @Davit_Nagashyan

Hello there. Shortly problem is that published variables are not available in the file where i enabled this library. Steps: Published a library with two color variables (and two color modes) Enabled library in empty project Made a rectangle and tried to apply a variable Results: On first iteration i was able to apply a variable on rectangle. When i’m trying to change it, it doesn’t show the second variable. On second iteration (the same steps) it went well and i don’t know why. I am able to switch between variables. On third iteration i’ve tried to publish big library with 238 variables. In project file 0 variables appeared. I have files from each iteration, so Figma support guys, you are welcome to investigate it.

Just recently I noticed that text in the variables window is blurry. If I move the window around, sometimes it glitches itself back to clear text. But most of the time I can’t get it to fix itself. I’ve tried logging out and back in, and even restarting my computer. This problem is persistent. In the first screenshot you can see the blurry variables window adjacent to other UI text, which is crystal clear. In the second one, you can see where I moved it a little and it partially repaired itself. I’ve searched but can’t find a solution for this. My setup: Desktop Figma app 124.6.5 2024 MacBook with Sequoia 15.2 External Dell U2715H display On my MacBook’s built-in display, it’s fine. The blurriness only happens when using the external display. And for reference, no other UI text in any other app on my system has this issue. I’d love help if anyone knows what might be causing it. Thanks in advance.
