Is it possible to export an annotation from dev mode in the screen design? I am having a hard time figuring it out

Opening the app of Figma to view the project, I notice that the project goes in error. Return home, and I see that the project has been compromised. I see this screen HELP ME TO RECOVER THANK YOU

Hello, Despite the fact that i’m totally lost in the new UI, I’m feeling very incumfortable with the text sise and the colors contrasts. I’ve searched, but I don’t see any option to change the contrast and text size. Does anyone knows if it’s possible ? and how? 😅 Thank you 🙂

Hi everyone 👋 I made a 1658x658 GIF and it looks great when played, but when I import it into Figma, an outline appears, you can see that when the prototype is played. Has anyone had the same problem? I tried reloading the tab and reducing the size of the GIF, but it’s still the same. Here is the link to the file:Figma – 6 Mar 23

I have a Form Field component, and inside it I have a Label, Input, and Helper text components. The Input component can be swapped with Text Area and Select components, all these three components have a nested instance of the Content component inside it which holds text and icon as a component property. When using this Form Field component instance it behaves normally as long as I don’t swap the Input instance. If I swap the Input instance to a Select and then swap between variables of the Form Field components (a Disabled state, for example). The Select instance will be kept, but the Content instance inside of it will be reset. This is how the component is built: And this is how the properties look for this component: There is a property for instance swap where you can change the Field to Select or Text Area, these components, like I mentioned, also have the Content component inside of them, and when simply swapping instances it works normally, inheriting the changes made to the Con

The 4.0 version has a slightly different character spacing, weight, number styling for tabular style and more options in general.

I’m using a light grey background in my Figma file and I can’t read the artboard titles because they are white. How do I change them to a darker color?

So I made a project on Figma using my student email in June 2023. After that i graduated from the college and they deleted my student email around November 2023. Now I want to access that project file but unable to. I did give view access to one of my friend’s personal email. Now she is able to view it, but cant do anything. One thing is confirmed that the project still exists, but now I cant access it. What to do… I really need that project now!

I do have still the same issue, regardless which network i am connected. any ideas here???

Figma changed all of the text in a mockup to italics. How can I revert, undo, or otherwise fix this without having to recreate literally hundreds of software screen designs?

Coming from Sketch I can copy text with an attached text style from a document and paste it in my new sketch document and its included there. In Figma when I try to copy/paste text styles from a Figma UI Kit into my document they don’t show up as part of that document unless I add the library they came from. Is there a way round this?

Hi! Similar to the experience of some fellow Figma users as written here: My drafts just disappeared today my drafts just disappeared, without having the “Drafts to move” section… I would reply within that topic but it’s locked. What should I do, how can I recover the drafts?

When I try to publish a Figma Slides template, I get this message: “Something went wrong while publishing. Refresh the page and try again.” I’ve restarted Figma and have re-tried a number of times. Can you suggest anything? Thanks

Can you hide an entire mode column in the variables table from publishing? we have a theme that is not ready to be release but are working on it and don’t want to have designers accessing it yet.

Has anyone come across a tutorial or know how to prototype a video progress bar similar to Netflix or Youtube, where dragging the bar shows an image preview of the video and as you drag the image changes to a preview matching the video time stamp? I’m looking for ideas on creating an interactive slider that displays images as you drag. I’ve found tutorials on sliders with changing numbers, but nothing so far that incorporates image previews. Any suggestions? Thanks!

how do you reset the Frame counter in Figma? A design agency delivered overwhelmingly complex files without changing frame names and it’s super annoying

I have a button composant with many props and variations. And the order of those are very important for my workflow. Inside my UI kit, the order is sets in a particular order, like this. But wheb I published it and upload all my assets, the order is still eratic. I closed my soft, even restart my computer, but the pb still remains. Have got the same pb ? I did have since this morning, maybe this is a new issue after a new update of the software ?

New to Figma, system is requesting verification

Hi folks. I stumbled upon a simple Dialog open behavior. If I use a component with “WhilePressing” visual effect (like e.g. background dimming), then both onTap and onTouchUp actions won’t cancel the effect. Here is a sample design file: https://www.figma.com/design/rC5hQVyjoS3ubnRHTmnW8D/Tap-animation?node-id=0-1&t=eLdLBq0A6LpgurTr-1 There are two pages: Page1: onTap Page2: onTouchUp that only differ in their trigger action type. What it looks like currently Here is a short recording in GIF: As you see, the list item remains in its pressed state. How to fix this?

Working on the desktop app, I have resized the UI and made it smaller by mistake. In the online documentation there are the following shortcuts that do not work because I have an Italian keyboard, where 0 and = are on the same key. I cannot change them, since Figma does not support personalising shortcuts. Reset to Default: CtrlShiftAlt0 Make Larger: CtrlShiftAlt= Also the documentation states that in the View panel there should be a function to resize the UI, but there isn’t as you can see in this screenshot. So, how do I reset the size of the UI? Thank you for your help

When we can expect the avaialbility of that the new Ai feature, that helps to create designs in a given prompt ?

I am aware that currently when swapping libraries it does not work on variables, but somehow when I swapped libraries, some of the color variables reassigned to the new library variables. So now I have components color variables mixed with the original library and the swapped one. How is this possible? I thought the swapped components variables will remain linked to the original library. Does anyone have similar experience?

Hi All, We were waiting for a couple of months (years?) until the branching functionality supported combining a design file + library in 1 branch. We at the time saw no way to use branching otherwise (most if not all assets and colors sit in a library, not in the design file). Has this been fixed/changed in the meantime? Or is this still a no-go? A dumb question perhaps, but how do people work around this? I can’t see anybody that uses libraries using the branches until this is fixed. B

I’ve figured out how to use Figma which is very intuitive and build a website this week and was expecting to spend an hour building a mail form so I downloaded Weavely to make it. Is this typical behaviour: I can’t get the Form templates (opening Weavely window where you select Email form) back on the first page I used it on (my Contact page). I’ve figured out how to use Figma which is very cool and intuitive and built a complicated layout website in the last 2 wks and was expecting to spend an hour building a mail form so I downloaded Weavely to make it. Is this typical behaviour: I can’t get the Form templates (opening Weavely window where you select Email form) to appear back on the first page I used it on (my Contact page). It only defaults to the window with Form / Logic / Share / Results / Automation window, even if I delete all elements in the left menu associated with the plugin When I run the plugin on another page to experiment, I can close the plugin and reopen it and get th
