Im following a tutorial on youtube about responsive design and the video shows the option to add a collection under appearance and switch between them to change the frame size. (from the video). is this a pro-plan function only?

I’m struggling… I look around and everybody is using the “.” or “_” to hide component when publishing, but my question is: Is the component published but “not” searchable? or is not published? The reason I ask is that I’ve had many instances where I use nested “core” components that I don’t want designer to use but they get out of sync and whenever you are using a component made of multiple “Core components” When you change properties it breaks and asks to update Core component with the little update dialog bottom right… Can someone with extensive knowledge in Figma library share what is the latest and what is the most optimal way to set this up… Currently I’ve got 2 libraries but only one is consumed by designer but its quite a pain and I wish I could just have one… Happy to hear some thoughts…

Hello, I am having difficulty understanding the subscription system. I subscribed to the professional version for two users for one year at $320. Now, it says that $90 has been deducted for one month, which implies that each month would cost $90 or more. I have not added any additional seats; I only assigned admin permissions to developers. Are there any additional charges for that?

I recently started working with Figma Slides! Normally I did this in a Design file because of the possibilities with prototypes. Slides seems to work a little better for presentations, so that’s very nice! However, I cannot manage something as simple as internal linking between slides. I’ve been searching the internet for a while now, but can’t find it. I also try to show a video in overlay using a button. I cannot manage this, just like the internal links. However, this is solved if linking between slides is possible. Then I will make an extra slide with the video. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Hi! I’ve a bunch of designs in 1920x1080 for a TV app. I would like to scale them down to 1280x720. I tried with the ‘Scale’ tool manually, it does work but the text styles and blocs sizes are not whole numbers anymore, which is an issue for devs. Is there any other ways to do it with rounding all the values? (Plugins welcome). Thanks for your help!

I’m using auto-layout for this modal, just like I do for pretty much everything else, and I’m creating a modal, with a text field, and a dropdown. The dropdown should float above the buttons, and I’d prefer to do this with auto-layout. (I know I could use an overlay, it would be nice to control the z-index somehow though)

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!

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

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!
