Hello,Could you please provide an update on the review status of my plugin "Rennu"?Rennu is a Japanese-inspired gradient generator that allows designers to create atmospheric, noise-textured gradients directly inside Figma — without switching to external tools. Designers can adjust colors, noise, blur, direction and grain, then export or apply the result instantly.The plugin has been in review for some time and I would love to understand if there is anything needed from my side to move the process forward.Thank you for your time.

I want to make a menu with 2 state (default and hover state), so I made a component for that and it works fine. but I also want that component when I hover it will open an overlay. so, I need the two interaction working at the same time when I hover it.It actually work. but there is maybe a bug or I don’t know for sure. so, when I hover the menu, it does making teh two interaction (change state and open an overlay), but when I drag away my mouse, the overlay doesn’t close by it self as I expected. is this a bug? or I miss something?please anyone if you know how to fix this, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,I applied for the Figma EDU Bootcamp program on March 31, 2026 for Accelist Edukasi Indonesia, and I received the confirmation email mentioning the review process may take 2–4 weeks depending on volume.I also sent a follow-up email today, but haven’t received any update yet.Has anyone recently applied and heard back from the Figma Education team? How long did the review process take for you?Would really appreciate any insights. Thank you!

Do you sometimes lose yourself in your figma page? You’ve done one design and you literally can’t find it anywhere. Zooming in, out, left, right, up, down, searching in your layers to see if you can go to that frame. I had this problem, but then i thought, wouldn’t it be good to have a little page map on the bottom of your screen to show you where your wireframes are on the page. If anyone has a hack or thinks this might be useful let me know! 

I thought it was just my bluetooth keyboard glitching out, but cmd + z is not undoing any action, nor is going to the Edit menu > Undo. Has anyone encountered this issue before? And if so, how did you resolve it?

Hi,Our team has been creating multiple pages using Figma Make. However, we realized that all the pages are in separate files, and we can’t figure out how to connect them with Prototype mode.We want to: Combine several Make pages (Landing, Dashboard, Courses, etc.) into one Design file. Add Prototype links between the frames (e.g., from the Landing page to the Dashboard). Is there a way to convert or duplicate Make files into regular Figma Design files so that we can use the Prototype feature?

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with Figma Make. It seems like the autosave isn't working properly: every time I try to close the file, I get a warning saying that my changes are not saved, even though I've been working on it for a while.The biggest problem is that I’ve wasted all my AI credits repeating the same prompt dozens of times. I was trying to apply the same edit repeatedly because the changes simply wouldn't show up in the Prototype mode.Basically, I paid the "credit price" for the generation multiple times, but since the file failed to sync/save, I have nothing to show for it and now my quota is empty.Has anyone encountered this "save loop" or found a way to force a sync when Figma Make hangs? Also, is there a way to contact support for a credit refund in cases of technical glitches like this?Thanks for any help!

After creating an asset in Figma Buzz, I export it to PDF. However, when the asset opens in Adobe Reader, the name of the asset matches the Figma name, which I use an internal naming scheme for.I don’t want to email an asset with an internal name that’ll be visible to customers.But, I can’t seem to discover how to avoid this without having to do a separate step post-export.So, QUESTION: is there a way to control the display title of the PDF export without having to change my internal naming convention?

Hi Im Claudia. I cant access my account. It says that You no longer have access to this organization. My cc is deducted but still me and my team unable to access it. My id is an admin. I already submitted the ticket but still no follow up until today. Please kindly help. Thank you

Hi Figma team,First, congratulations on the Slots feature. It’s a smart idea and performs very well in my tests.Issue summaryWhen migrating components that previously relied on “Swap instance,” I have to add a wrapper frame around the existing instance to use a Slot. Then, every time I place that component, I end up deleting or replacing the inner instance to populate the slot. This breaks my expected workflow: I want to continue using the original instance as the default slot content so that when I instantiate the component I don’t need to manually remove the inner instance each time. Also, if I delete the instance that served as the swap source, the child components lose their contents (the previously swapped instances).What would be your recommendations for managing the migration from the old system to this new feature?

Help! I’m the first designer in the company for 2 years and the Figma files are all over the shop. I’m logged in as the finance woman, and have created my own work email. But how do I get access to the work files with my new Figma email?Also, and more importantly, all the files are now ‘locked’. They were editable on Friday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Figma doesn’t allow you to bind variables at the component source level, and you can bind only at the instance. This breaks down in real use cases where components require unique variant configurations that can’t be predetermined at the variable level. That limitation makes modes ineffective for true desktop-to-mobile automation. In such cases, you need to change the variant and change the mode to get a true platform conversion. Is there a suggested workaround?

My team has noticed an issue with slots: we’ve created structural (private) components that we want to set as a preferred instance in a component’s slot. However, since those structural components aren’t published, designers will not be able to see them or use them as a preferred instance. For example: Structural component: single radio button optionMain component: Radio button group, with slot to add additional radio button options I’m able to set the preferred instance of the main component’s slot to use the structural component. However, when you try to use the component in an actual file it doesn’t work. You can’t see the structural component as a preferred instance since it’s not published.  Is there a way around this? We have a number of structural components like this that we don’t want to have to publish. For now, we’re going to have to publish them with specific naming on not to use outside of a slot.

Is there any way in Figma where we can lock the design project for further updates. Currently the engineers starts consuming the Figma designs but there is a possibility that UX team updates the designs/colors etc which will impact engineering work.Figma also do not have the change log to verify the past designs. So I am looking for a locking mechanism for save development.

Missing Auto layout panel & layers icon type in one specific user. It seems like some kind of bug  

Hey ​@Celine_ ,First of all, thank you for reaching out to me.I would like to let you know that my Figma account is still suspended when I try to log in via Google. Kindly restore it as soon as possible, as there are many important files in the account.Ticket ID: #1871351Regards,Pixel

Hi everyone,I’m currently working with Figma Sites and I’m trying to find the best workflow for client presentations and feedback.When I share a prototype from a regular Figma Design file, the client can: view the project in preview/prototype mode navigate through the pages leave comments directly on the design However, when I use Figma Sites, I’m a bit confused about the sharing workflow.My questions are: Is there a way to share a Figma Sites project with a client so they can view it in preview mode without needing the published .figma.site link? Or is publishing the site currently the only way for clients to experience the project like a real website? Also, from what I understand: when sharing the published Figma Sites link, the client cannot leave comments directly on the live/preview experience while comments are only available through the Design/Prototype file Is that correct, or is there another workflow I might be missing?At the moment it feels like I need to maintain: a

Hi Figma Community,I’m reaching out to inquire about the current review timeline for new plugins. I submitted my plugin, "VINUFIX," about two weeks ago (on April 7th), and it is still showing as "Under Review."I understand that the typical turnaround time is 5–10 business days, but since that window has passed without any updates or feedback, I’m starting to wonder if there’s a general backlog in the review queue or if there might be an issue with my specific submission that needs addressing.This plugin is a vital tool for my team’s internal workflow, so we are quite eager to get it up and running. I am more than happy to provide any additional information or make necessary adjustments if something is holding up the process.Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Any advice or insight from the Figma team (or fellow developers) would be greatly appreciated!Thank you for your time and support.Best regards,혜진 hyejin 

Hi everyone,The plugin PPTX to Figma Pro was submitted for review on March 31, 2026, and its status still shows “In review” with no updates or feedback received yet.This plugin is designed to help users import PPTX files into Figma while preserving layout, text, and styling details accurately. I’ve confirmed the plugin complies with all Figma plugin review guidelines, but I’m unsure if there is a delay in the process or any additional information needed from my side.If there is anything I need to adjust or submit, or if you could share an update on the current review timeline, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you so much for your time and support!

Hi everyone,Has anyone else encountered problems with long blank text copy paste? Sometimes copying large blocks of empty space from documents or webpages seems harmless, but pasting them into forums, chats, or editors can cause issues.It can take up unexpected space, slow down scrolling, or even crash certain apps. I’ve tried stripping formatting or using plain text tools, yet long blank text copy paste still creates headaches with very large blanks. Curious if others have a reliable method to handle it without manually deleting hundreds of empty lines.

I have been working on this new website project. I am using the smart animate feature in several places. Whenever I click to trigger the animation, the screen scrolls up for the amount of time set for the animation. If I set 100ms, then for that time, I am scrolled to the top of the website screen and scrolled back again. I miss my element being animated. The only thing I see is a quick glimpse of the header section of the website. I have tried to restart my Mac, restart Figma, and open my file in the browser version. I even tried to clean up the cache and nothing seems to help. I tried to use “instant” in animate, it is working fine. I have no idea of how to fix this problem.

I have connected ChatGPT and Figma and it drew a nice designs, but after edit number 5 it stopped and now ChatGPT falls back to standard image generation, saying that “You've reached the Figma MCP tool call limit for your View seat on the Professional plan”. Where can I see and track these credits? How to add them? How to optimize them so that on Pro plan I do not get this after 5 prompts?

I’m not able to connect Free Figma Account with Free cluade account in browser. Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

Hello, I have submitted my plugin almost 4 weeks ago still it is in pending and I also got ‘Update: Lokum: AI Design Review follows data security best practices’ email but still in review.Is this normal?My plugin https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1623800599793273567

Hey Figma community 👋I'm visualizing 7 levels of customer journey design (think: intent → execution, each level building on the last). Right now it lives in a horizontal format and it's... a lot of scrolling. Not ideal for stakeholders trying to actually absorb it.To be clear — this isn't an interactive prototype. It's a static design artifact that needs to communicate layered complexity clearly and beautifully.Here's my challenge:• 7 distinct levels, each with a name, focus, definition, and output• They're sequential AND interdependent• I want people to grasp the full picture AND be able to zoom into a single levelIdeas I've been considering:• Accordion-style sections within a frame• Nested frames or expandable component cards• A radial/layered diagram instead of a linear table• Progressive disclosure using overlapping cardsHas anyone tackled multi-level frameworks in Figma in a way that feels clean and digestible without losing the structure? Would love to see examples or hear how y
