I can’t publish hole design system components on my Fimga local team. Is the issue the reason for the Beta version?

Hi everyone, The problem i’m facing is that if I use constraints in my design it seems they aren’t applied to the prototype. I did a simple design with a header fixed on top and a footer fixed to the bottom and in between a content zone with a top and bottom contraint. If I scale my main frame in Figma, no problem : the height of the content zone follows, if I do the same with my prototype : the height of the content zone seems to be fixed. A a result, depending on the resolution of the device I’m testing on, my content can be croped. Is there any workaround to do this ? I can’t attach a video to illustrate this because I’m new, but i will as soon as I can.

Hi, everyone. Would anyone happen to know how to shorten or rename a Figma slide deck before sharing? I don’t want a big link while sharing it with the client. I want the link to be more professional & relevant. I tried some link shortener plugins, but doesn’t seem to work on Figma slides

I think there is a bug with theming? Sections and frames are not accepting our appearance theming. I currently have to set the theme all the way at the element level compared to the container.

Hello, I’m rather new to Figma and currently learning about creating conditional interactions. It works as intended if I don’t add a hover interaction. However, once I add a hover interaction, it no longer works and the image revert to the default look. The hover interaction works, but clicking gets…strange? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I’m approaching this wrong and the foundation of my knowledge with prototyping has holes in it. Maybe I overlooked something. Here’s the link to the components. Link to Figma File. Thank you!

Is there any way to apply a local variable (language string) to a component’s text without detaching instance?

My design team is in the process of completing designs that were out-of-scope for our external design firm, working with their completed files. However, when selecting ‘Go to main component’ (of which there are countless instances!), the following message appears: ‘You do not have access to this file.’ This is greatly hindering our ability to work effectively with our Figma files.

Hi all, my toolbar in Figma program suddenly disappeared, and I don’t manage to make it come back. I saw similar issue sraised on this forum that it might be a bug. Does anybody have an advice? It’s highly appreciated

Hey there, I’m in the process of repurposing a design system, copying components from one to the other. Relinking variables to local versions and overall just trying to get rid of any link to external variables, components, etc. Is there a tool or plugin that would help me in this? TIA

Hi. I am building my first prototype. I am trying to link a logo to a page in my prototype. According to Google, I need to use the “interaction” tool but I cannot find it in Figma or any lead on what the icon looks like. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi everyone, I remember there used to be a feature in Figma where you could click on a team member’s name and see a list of all the files they had contributed to, along with the time of their last activity. This made it really easy to track collaboration. Now, it seems like I can only see the most recent activity on a single file, and I can’t find a way to access the full list of files a team member has worked on. Has Figma removed this feature, or is there still a way to access it? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

お世話になります。アコーディオンを数列縦に並べたところ、一番最後の要素が下の要素に干渉せず、かぶって見えなくなってしまいます。見せるようにしたいのですが、どうすれば良いでしょうか。

Hello!The key combinations do not work correctly command+z. Pleas help!

Can someone please rate this design I did for a tech centered podcasts? I’ll take any and all feedback. Thank you so much. PS. I wanted to animate the Listen to Us section so that the circuits fade in and out at different times but couldn’t figure out how, so any advice on that will be appreciated. prototype link

Hello, I generated a flow chart using the AI prompt. I can’t remember, and I see it is not recorded. Is there a way to recover the prompt I used? Thank you,

I keep trying control + command + m, and nothing is happening. Any ideas?

Hi, so I’ve made a typing animation, but I want to add it to another animation variant that I have already done. However, when I add the first typing animation, it does not show up correctly when prototyping. Ok so here is the typing animation already all set up correctly to work (I can’t show the whole variants because it’s really long) I know it is working correctly because when I add to another frame and try to prototype, it shows up correctly like here: But now I want to add to this other variant animation that I already have that is working normally However, when I go to prototype, the typing animation does not show up correctly. The first line does not show up, but the rest is showing normally. Does anyone know how to fix this? or how to do it using maybe jitter or something like that? I’ve tried searching about it but haven’t seen anyone with a problem like this.

Hi I have an issue, where my icons are designed in Illustrator. When copying the icon from Illustrator into Figma, the artwork is scaled up. An example from Illustrator (20px X 18px): After pasting into Figma (26.68px X 24px): The funny thing is, that if I create a basic square in Figma sized 16px X 16px, copy it as svg from Figma and paste it in Illustrator, it is still sized 16px X 16px. Then when copying that same square from Illustrator that I just pasted from Figma and paste it back into Figma it is scaled up. I’m aware that I can “just” scale the icon in Figma after placing it, but it is very inconvenient - especially if you have a large icon library designed in Illustrator. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks!

Hi, I’m the admin of pro team. But there is a one project that has a different owner, and one file in it that ask me “request access”. As admin I should be able to have full access to everything no?

Is this normal for Figma? I want to now save today’s version of my Figma files as version 2. I enter the v2 either in the pop up save window dialog window or in the actual left hand menu title of Figma and then hit save prompting the Save window to open to choose the location where I want to save it. I save to the Cloud yet when I look at the titles in the cloud none of the files have the v2 I added? Never seen that before using a Mac for 24 yrs! EDIT: I realised my Figma app isn’t local to the Mac and that when my internet connection dropped today (the day after posting this comment) the app wouldn’t load? I didn’t realise I need to be connected to wifi to use the Figma app? (End Edit) Why won’t it accept the title change – adding v2 (see red lines on images) to the end of the file name in the left menu or in the save dialog window? Cheers Ps// why when I attached the images just now why did it erase my question in this text box here…?

I’m trying to build a responsive / fluid header that mimics flex wrap, pushing elements down, when not enough space. Simple enough, but when I have several nested items also reacting, I don’t know how to control what order things collapse. I want the largest parents to dropdown first, before their children start reacting. I’ve attached a quick screen recording to show how resizing the element results in something different than the desired state in the two static examples below it. I’ve tried to solve this with some min-widths, or setting some elements to hug instead of fill. But this just results in elements overflowing their container instead of wrapping as intended.

“I created a rectangle in Figma and added several text boxes within it. When I expand the main frame, one of the text elements moves downward, while the rest remain in place. How can I resolve this so that the text stays in its position regardless of the frame’s resizing (height)?”

Hey! I have been trying to do some experiment with the horizontal scroll. Just like we use sticky on top scrolling in case of vertical scroll, I was wondering if we can do the same for horizontal scroll as well, like some elements stick on the right side if we are swiping from left to right. Let me know if you guys have any idea how to do this! Cheers!

If I have more than 29 tabs on Figma, I can’t seem to access the ones on the right of the last tab. I have to go home and THEN find the file I was searchin for/working on.
