Hi, I’m a student who’s working on a ad for Figma Draw as a school project. I need to find the brush cursor that you can see when taking the brush tool in Figma Draw mode. I tried to search for it : nothing. I tried to take a screenshot and vectorize with the AI, didn’t work so well. I would need the “official” one to continue the animation ! I even tried to look at it in the code but didn’t find it :/ If someone knows how to get it, I would appreciate it!

 Hi- I was working at an organization that was acquired. Instead of acquiring the old Figma, we created a new account. This got very confusing as some files were saved to the old account, etc. We just ran into this issue- does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! 

"How do I delete uploaded media files from my Make project?

How to inject HTML video embed in Figma Sites CMS ?

I can’t seem to figure it out. Is this referring to an auto-layout setting? Or something to do with preferred instances?  

The transparency used for uncertain items is not very clear at first glance when zoomed out. Could this be improved, maybe by  use of a different colour for transparent items for greater contrast?

Hi, I’m trying to build a skill which traces the Figma prototype for all the interactions I have wire in my Figma file. The Figma MCP is unable to return any substantial value and unable trace the prototype. Any recommendations on how can I better solve this?

In Figma, my dropdown component is set up as a frame with a white fill at 100% opacity and normal blend mode. However, underlying layers are still visible through it, even though the dropdown is positioned above other elements in the layer hierarchy. I also tried toggling “Clip content” on and off, but nothing changed. What could be causing this issue?Additionally, could anyone recommend videos or online courses that explain how to create a proper dropdown menu in Figma? I’m really struggling with building one and getting a bit frustrated with it. Thanks a lot. 

Is the design system (variables, components, text styles) created inside a Figma Sites file publishable for other Figma Design or Site files to use?I’m trying to recreate a site in Figma Sites, and wondering if I should build DS inside the Site file or if I should build in an external Figma Design file, publish, and connect to the Figma Site file to use.(Optional Question)What’s the compatibility between Figma Design & Figma Sites in terms of library sharing, and what are the pros, cons, best practices? 

Research question for anyone doing data-driven design in Figma.No pitch — genuinely trying to map unsolved problems before building anything.Three scenarios I'm curious about:**1. Bulk / multi-row population**If you have a card grid, table, or list with 10+ instances — how do you currently populate them all from a dataset? Do you do it manually, row by row? Have you found a plugin that handles this well? What's still missing?**2. Sensitive data in mockups**Have you ever shared a Figma file and realized it had real customer emails, names, or phone numbers visible? Is that a concern in your workflow, or does it not come up?**3. RTL languages**If your product supports Hebrew, Arabic, or another right-to-left language — how do you handle realistic RTL text data in your prototypes? Is it painful, or have you solved it?Any of these can be answered with "not a problem for me" — that's useful data too.(Disclosing: AI-assisted market research post)

Hey everyone — doing genuine research before building anything. Honest answers appreciated, including "this isn't a problem for me."As token sets grow in Figma Variables, I keep hearing about a few recurring pain points:- Naming inconsistencies across teams (color.brand.primary vs brand-primary vs brandPrimary)- Broken or circular aliases that are hard to spot manually- The same token name having different values across collections with no clear audit trail- No easy way to produce a health report you can share with your team or stakeholdersI'm exploring whether a Figma plugin focused purely on local governance and auditing would solve a real problem — or whether teams have already figured this out.A few specific questions:1. How do you currently catch naming violations or broken aliases in your token set?2. Do you use Tokens Studio for governance specifically, or mainly for sync/export?3. Has a messy token set ever caused a real problem in your workflow — broken designs,    misaligned

im a beginner on figma and i was tryna create the fade in animation for the web page im making. the animation works as, when user scrolls through the page the elements slowly fade in. n this is supposed to work like in a sequence. ive tried following tutorials and even used ai for help but the results i get were either it wont work or everything wd fade in althogether which isnt what i actually want. so idk how to make it work.

I work for an organization that is considering switching from our current design tool (Sketch) to Figma. However, we’d love to first get a demo of how Ai can be integrated into Figma so we can weigh the efficiency gains vs. time lost switching design platforms. Is it possible to get a demo for myself and my colleague?

Hi figma support. We'll be traveling from Argentina and we already bought hotel and plane tickets to be in San Francisco during Config's dates as this was part of our organization approval process. It was approved today morning and we realized the tickets are sold out, we're so sad since this was something we started planning two months ago and our organization time for approving these requests is long. We'll be tremendously grateful if you could help us since traveling from our country is a big deal for us and effort. 🙏 Thank you!

I am a full‑time UI designer. I mainly use Figma for UI component building, design token management and page layout design. I have submitted the AI agent beta survey before, hoping to get early access to the new vertical navigation bar and AI Agent function for improving daily design efficiency. Thank you.

Hey, I’ve got a problem. I want to publish my website in Figma Make, but it says the file is under review, and because of that I can’t publish my project to a Figma domain.How can I fix this?

Hi Figma team, I’m Noah Elhadedy, a UI/UX designer and founder of Djectstudio. I’m trying to publish and sell my design products on Figma, but the option seems to be unavailable or locked on my account. I already have a design agency and an existing product store where I sell UI kits, templates, and digital design resources: https://djectstudio.com/store I’d like to know how I can enable access to selling or publishing products on Figma. Is there a specific application process, eligibility requirement, creator program, or marketplace approval needed? Could you please guide me on the next steps to unlock this option or apply for access? Thanks in advance. Best,Noah ElhadedyDjectstudio

We need to amend our subscription package under the Enterprise contract. I have already reached out to the support team via email but have not received a response.As the contract renewal is due in three working days, could you please advise on how we may escalate this matter or the best way to reach the relevant team for urgent assistance? 

I have been trying to contact sales for 3 - 4 days now. I have several questions that need to be answered by a person. Does any one have a phone number for sales? I can see this is an ongoing problem that others have had for months.

I'm using Figma in Japan.I'm considering upgrading, but the Professional plan only allows video uploads.https://www.figma.com/ja-jp/pricing/Does this mean I can't create video files within Figma or export entire files as videos (like MP4)?Also, can I play videos and audio when launching a prototype using the Figma mobile app?Please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a multi-brand design system in Figma using Variables, and I’ve structured it into three collections:• Primitives• Semantics• ComponentsBoth the Semantics and Components collections use the same set of modes, which represent different brand themes (Brand X, Brand Y, etc.).However, I’m running into a problem:At the moment, there’s no way to tell Figma that the modes in these separate collections are related to each other. Because of that, interaction colors defined in the Semantics collection (for example blue in Brand X and green in Brand Y) can both appear as blue in the Components collection preview.This becomes confusing because when both modes are actually applied to a component, the final rendered result is different from what the Variables preview in Figma suggests.One possible solution I’m considering is merging the Semantics and Components layers into a single collection.The downside is that it becomes less organized, but the advantage is tha

Hi all,My team is trying to connect Figma and GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent (not GitHub's local VSCode coding agent). Our end goal is enabling the cloud coding agent to access Figma MCP tools like  “get_code”/”get_design_context”. Since there's no public plans yet on any direct connection between the two, I have questions about potential alternatives:Are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma MCP to support a PAT or API based authorization? This would be incredibly useful for apps that don't use Oauth like GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent. Or, are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma's Rest API's to access equivalents of the MCP tools like `get_design_context`?So far, we've built our own intermediary (https://github.com/bitovi/ai-coding-agent) that handles the OAuth between Figma's MCP & GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent, and a proxy-wrapper alternative (https://github.com/bitovi/figma-mcp-proxy ), but we’re still looking to improve them and for generally better-supporte

Is there a way to remove libraries on project/ team level which was enabled on organization-wide level by admin? Without need of organization admin.I can't see these libraries in admin panel as a workspace admin, neither in Team or Project settings. Users can manually remove these libraries in each file, but we have whole teams working with specific local libraries
