Anyone else having this bug, where things you paste, or randomly-based, overflow the container? Every time y paste things auto layout seems to behave the worst way possible. And as soon as you double click the component or break it, it gets fixed. Se Video for reference pliz 🔗

I developed a plugin for Figma and want to publish it, but when I try to publish, I get an error saying, “We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin.” I did change my account password (almost a week ago), BUT when I emailed the provided address (support@figma.com), they responded that since I have a free plan, they can’t help me. So, in order to help the Figma community by publishing a completely free plugin, I have to pay? I hardly even use Figma and don’t need a subscription. Please resolve this issue and help me remove this error.

Hi all, I may be missing something really simple but I’m looking to include layout grids when I export to a PDF. Right not the UI shows but no underlying layout grids, is this an option?

Hello, can anyone explain to me the purpose of new auto-layout icon? So from the last update Figma has this icon for “Child” layout (see screenshot). But I don’t get the purpose of it.

Hi all, I have a frame with many interactive components, including a tree view with different levels of collapsible elements. When presenting, i can open or collapse any level. Now i need 2 buttons/actions : one to open all items, and one to collapse them all. What i did for now is I created 2 frames : Frame1 with all items closed, and Frame2 with all items opened. And 2 buttons : “Open all” that navigates to Frame2, and “Close all” to Frame1 Problem is : when i’m in Frame1, i can open any item i want. How to make the “Close all” button working on this frame? “Logical” way would be to add an interaction to navigate to frame1, checking “reset component state”. But you can’t link to the same page you’re in. Any idea ? (ideally without using variables to record each individual open/close state for each level) Thanks !

Hello, I just signed up for an education plan, verified my account, and created a new team. I still can’t upgrade to the professional plan though. I wanted to know what extra steps if any do I need to take to be able to upgrade my plan. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a presentation for school and it’s basically done except I want to add a gif to my last slide and I’m experiencing a size issue. I don’t know if there’s something I’m overlooking with the layers because if I try to copy and paste there is an background image that doesn’t belong there. then the other thing is the gif becomes full size, and takes on the entire size of the slide. I have been following this tutorial but maybe there have been some updates to pitch deck so it doesn’t exactly match. Therefore I have no idea what to do. Just looking for any help I can get. Here is the link to what I have created: https://www.figma.com/proto/Px0NhMUmjHmlFatVknn0j5/Grace-Lee—Operations-Presentation?node-id=16-4&t=JRyJRy3raUaI6d6i-1 Thanks so much in advance!

Process (in Prototyping): Set Variable (String) Select Target Add String value Whenever I copy a String using Copy as Text, say, “₱700.00”, from a textbox I have in the Frame, and then trying to paste said value in the Value textbox under Set Variable, it always exits the small Set Variable window and not let me paste “₱700.00” into the Value textbox. I don’t know how else I could paste symbols. Trying the shortcut Alt+8369 on the small window will only get me an unreadable text (see attached image). Help!

Hi everyone, I’m new to Figma and am trying to make an interactive personality quiz for my university assignment. The quiz has 5 questions so I made 5 frames for the different questions. For each personality result I set a variable and everytime the user chose a result that corresponded with said personality I set a “set variable” interaction to add 2 to the variable each time. In the last frame, I added a conditional to set which result frame the user will get based on the points from their answers. However, the result seemed random and did not correspond to the points given through the set variable interaction. When I use the set variable interaction, does it add value to the variable in the frame where I added the interaction only or the variable as a whole? Is there any way for me to troubleshoot the system?? Sorry if I’m not clear enough 😓😓😓

I´m trying to close my overlay, i have clicked the option “close when clicking outside”, but it keeps showing up the first overlay. How can I close overlay? I ´ve tried adding another overlay where i could add the interaction “close overlay”, but it gows back to the first overlay

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the navigation in FigJam. I remember that previously, when transitioning from Figure A to Figure B using a link, there was a “Back” button to return to Figure A. However, I can’t seem to find this button in the current version. Does anyone know where it went or if it has been removed? It was a really helpful feature for navigating between linked figures. Thanks for your help!

Hello, I’m trying to create a fade-out effect on an image in Figma. However, when I select the image and click “Use as Mask,” everything disappears. The frame is still there, but it’s invisible. Unfortunately, I can’t attach a video to show the issue, but I hope someone can help me. Thank you so much!

Hi, Everyone. I try to find the solution from the forum, And I read other users Q-A. But I couldn’t get its solution. So, I’m sharing my query here. … After 1 month I opened my Figma project file.

I tried many other ways to get the solution. … If anyone have the solution please share here. Thank you!

Hello everyone, Been creating webhooks for event types FILE_VERSION_UPDATE and LIBRARY_PUBLISH, but nothing gets triggered after publishing styles, components or even when the version of file is updated? I’ve seen that this is a known issue from other users since last year, and it would be helpful if this was fixed. Thanks in advance

I am encountering this problem. Tried every method including ‘Delete detached variable’ in the quick commands. but nothing works. It conflicts with my exiting variable collection and I couldn’t see any other collection under this ‘page variable’. This is not goingggggggg…!! Really frustrating.

I’m building a prototype and I want a “While hovering” interaction, but for some reason that option is grayed out and I can’t apply it. I have no idea why it’s unavailable. What can I do to access it?

Hi, when i export nodes with node.exportAsync({format: 'SVG'}) I am then relying on a hash comparison of the content to know which ones are identical or differents. This works well for ‘png’ and ‘jpg’, but with SVG, the content is different even though the 2 nodes are an identical copy. When opening the 2 resulting svg files and looking at a diff, i see that there are some tiny differences related to float rounding (im attaching a screenshot of the diff) Is this solvable ? is this a fatality ? without the ability to recognize similar svg export, i won’t be able to propertly factorize my images exports. And if nothing can be done about this, are the png / jpg indeed more deterministic as the few tests i did seem to indicate ? Thanks if you have any inputs. Best

I’m trying to adjust the size of the frame to the right sizing but some elements randomly are connected to the frame size and it completely messes up my design. I have seen some responses where the solution is supposed to be to hold down control and resize the frame but this does not work for me. I’ve tried holding down option. I’ve tried holding down command. I’ve tried holding down shift. Nothing works. I wonder if this is a bug. What i do when I’m designing a page and I know I need more room, I resize the frame and then select the footer, click the bottom align action and boom! I have a fresh page with lots of room to design. However, this somehow attaches the footer to the bottom of the frame and there is not a way to release it that I can see. THEN. Once i’m done with designing the page, It’s near impossible to get the right spacing from the end of the content to the start of the footer. I can place the footer in the correct spot but when I go to move the end of the page t

Hi! I love the app, specially the new AI feature. However one annoying behavior is that I keep making unwanted hand marks while resting my hand on the app screen when I use the Apple pencil. There is a setting for iPad to “Only Draw with Apple Pencil” but even when that is enabled, I still make unwanted marks by resting my hand against the screen while drawing stuff with Apple Pencil. Other apps like Goodnotes have already solved this issue so this hopefully must be achievable in FigJam as well. Best, Amir

Hi fellow Figma fiddlers! I’ve run out of help pages and YouTubes on a problem I can’t seem to crack; prototyping a highly common, verging on trivial, interaction behaviour: A set of toolbar-style navigation tabs, each of which causes a side panel with distinct content to open. That behaviour should be available universally on several different pages of an application. I’m talking about combining two interaction principles; Tabs with mutually exclusive, radio-button style selection status Slide-in-and-out overlays, or one single overlay with multiple content variants Building each pattern on its own is almost banal. There are some UI detailing expectations that aren’t particularly exotic, either: Each tab must have an idle, hover, and selected state. The tabs have combined radio button (mutually exclusive selected state) and toggle behaviour so that a neutral state—no panel deployed—is achievable. The toggle behaviour (on Click: Hover —> Selected) combines with an open […] as ove

Hello, is there a possibility to copy a grid with copy to png? If I try igot only a white png without the grid solumns or rows. I use this for pasting a designgrid in a short way to indesign for presentations. Best

I need to build a conditional like the following: if {variable ABC} > 0 and < 5 set {variable X} false set {variable Y} false set {variable Z} true else {variable ABC} is a number variable When I try to setup this conditional it won’t allow me to use those options. Thanks, Leandro
