I am on the team plan. It’s just myself on this plan. I can log into my Figma account and can see a community handle that I wish to publish to… However, I can not publish to it (I want to publish to the profile highlighted in blue). I’ve created a support ticket (1176329) and have been waiting patiently for a response. The ticket still shows “open” but the agent is no longer responding to my inquiries. I have additional questions and concerns… when I review the ticket, the sidebar reflects answers to questions that are incorrect. The “Nos” should be “Yes” and I don’t recall how the “Nos” were even tallied. I don’t recall being asked these questions at anytime. The dialog found in the ticket does not reflect the conversation that has been occurring via email; some of my responses have been omitted or did not post to the thread… Lastly, I am opted into Figma’s AI beta features and my understanding is that these tools should be available to me; yet my Figma UI does not offer the functio

Is it just me or is the prototyping in UI3 not as easy to access in use as in the previous UI? I just tried to do it for half an hour in UI3 and then gave up and went back to UI2. Any one else have issues with this? ~Jason

I’m experiecing an issue with my Figma cursor, where it soemtimes causes problems during zoom in and zoom out actions. Specifically, the cursor behaves erratically, forcing me to use shortcuts like ctrl + to navigate and edit my design

Hi. Is there some way that I can know that certain elements are the same across Frames? Example wise, the red rectangles on the left, needs to be the same across frames, but they don’t share ID, or anything else, besides possibly the name. Is there any way to match these elements? Thank you in advance.

Not exclusively a UI3 topic, but I’ve seen major performance drops during this last year, another bigger one after switching to UI3. My MacBook Pro i7 (2018) get’s to its absolute limits when I open Figma and run an MS Teams-Share at the same time. Stakeholders usually have even worse (Windows) Laptops with even more problems opening files, even though it’s readonly mode. My feeling is that until like 1,5 years ago (±) after a big feature rollout Figma may have had a worse performance for a few weeks or months but there was always a technical consolidation phase where features got streamlined and the whole app got (as good) as performant as before. I understand that more (awesome) features mean we need more power but for me personally the biggest win and value provided would be better performance. Some KPIs for me would be: How long does it take to open a file / prototype? How long does it take to switch pages? How long does it take for Figma to be reactive again after minimizing / sw

Anyone has this buggy UI after the release? Seems like most of the little buttons of the text panel don’t have horizontal padding and they’re quite small. Weird…

I’ve got a free Figma account, and up until today I;ve had no problem using the iconify plugin on my creations. As of today though, I can’t access any plugins or widgets. I just get an error message “An error occured while searching for plugins”. I’ve tried logging out, closing my browser down, restarting my computer. All to no avail. Any advice please? Thanks!

Hi there, I’m new to Figma (just 2 weeks in!) and working on a learning project with basic navigation and responsiveness. The project has three responsive pages—Home, About, and Content—set up as frames, with navigation handled by a main nav component. So far, so good! The issue arises with a “News” section I added to the homepage. My goal is to create an interactive block on the homepage where users can click through three news items (News 1, News 2, and News 3). I set up these news items as components and created a navigation component with buttons linking to each. When I test the news component on its own, everything works perfectly. However, when I embed it on the homepage and view the prototype, the main homepage navigation (e.g., About and Content) stops working after interacting with a news item. I’ve used the “Open overlay” action to position the news elements, as navigating directly to them opens them outside the homepage frame—which defeats the purpose. I’ve linked my Figma f

Hey friends who know their way in Figma! I got a weird issue here with variable modes in my library - in my design system there are only 2 variable modes - Legacy and Dark, yet in some files I work on I see multiple other modes (named Mode, Light, etc.) - they are not in my design system and I’m not sure how can I remove them. Added a screenshot below. would love your help 🙂

What is this font?

When I try to click on a text style from my library nothing happens and the text style doesn’t change. It works weirdly when I choose the body text style, but not with the headings. Any advice?

I don’t understand why my action button hasn’t updated if I’m using UI3.

Can anyone help me find where the text property button has gone in UI3? In UI 2 it was really intuitive (right next to the text), in UI 3 flow broken, no idea where to look.

This bug appeared yesterday. I am unable the press ‘edit style’ button because it moves downwards every time my cursor moves towards it. Please help me figure it out, thanks.

Hi guys! 😊 Do you know how to create interaction to make header behavior during scroll in the same way as in the Apple notes? The big header during a scroll moves to the top bar. I attached a video that shows exactly what I mean.

I would love to find a plugin/solution for real time documentation of changes made to each frame, that could be shown next to the frame or viewed in figma. We are currently having issues, where our engineering team is saying that we are changing designs during sprints and I would love to have an easy to see documentation for all viewers and editors to see.

I’ve already looked up various answers, but it’s a little different from what the questions have already been asked. When you create a new file, you automatically add a library. I want to delete this file, but I can’t erase the file that was shared with the Figma community from the library. You can refer to the picture.

Hello, I am creating a design system as a Figma library and my users should be able to change color variables, just like I can in the master file. Meaning, I change a color variable and all components with that color variable change as well, which I don’t know how to do with the user files, because I can only make single component changes. Is there any solution for this? To be able to change the color variables in user files without affecting the master file? Would publishing it on Figma community be the solution?

Добрый день, установила на виндовс 11, фигму на рабочий стол. В браузере запускается нормально, а на компьютере выдает такие ошибки. Отключала брандмауэр, и антивирус, все равно не работает. Установила так же на другой компьютер, тоже не включается, те же самые ошибки выдает. Не могу найти причину, помогите, пожалуйста.

Today (4th sept 2023) I want to purchase Figma plugin (html 2 design) pro plan, but while making payment Figma say"Figma community currently not accepting Indian and Russian credit card. But still I tried with 5 different credit card and always failed. Anyone has its solution

Hello! I encountered a problem when trying to attach a link to a design from Figma to a task in JIRA. When I copy a link to a design located in a folder and paste it into JIRA, the error “Design not found” appears. At the same time: I can attach links to designs from the “Drafts” section. Colleagues attach links from the same folders where I get the error without any problems. We have the same access rights to these files and folders. I checked the access settings, and they look correct. I also tried: Copying the link to the file and specific frames inside it. Using a different browser and clearing the cache. Checking the file for availability via “Share”. Unfortunately, nothing helped.

My account doesnt have AI feature. In other side, my team’s account already have it and I dont know how to turn on it.

We are on an Enterprise design plan but would like to enable FigJam and Decks for one Workspace only. Is this possible? Or can it only be enabled for the entire account?

What’s wrong with Figma recently? Since the UI 3.0 update, bugs have been constantly occurring Like making a frosted glass material, but using a blurred background, stacking a background color directly creates a mosaic

The file I NEVER deleted has evaporated without a trace. The file which I used to use until around 18:00 on the 21st in Korea, disappeared after 3 hours when I accessed it from another device and I can’t see it. I never deleted it myself, and I tried all the solutions in the community, so I can’t recover it. I want to check the log to see if there is a history of recovery or deletion.
