Hi! I have a component library in Figma shared across projects. I’ve updated the “Header” component and updated files that used this library. Some of the titles in the header component, for unknown reasons, shifted to the right. However, if I click on them, they immediately take the correct position. If my colleague opens the same file and frame, it’s still shifted to the right for her. Could you help us understand why this might be happening and what we can do to resolve it? Thank you! How it looks shifted: How it changes the moment I click on the component:

I want to create a profile picture selection screen that changes the picture at the top of the screen when you click one of the bottom ones, how do I do it?

I am new to Figma and am trying to figure out the software as I create a mobile app prototype. This is not a paid project - this is a learning situation. But now I’m stuck. I am attempting to do two different things: create an accordion list with corresponding icons on the left of the headings and a toggle switch to the right of each heading - but left of the up arrow (open button). Once that has been accomplished, I need to insert this masterpiece into my user settings screen frame and make it all work smoothly. What is stumping me is the auto layout feature. I’ve been trying for two days—trial and error—to customize the accordion list (attribution: Pixel Happy) and have the list working, but I cannot figure out how to insert the icons and toggle switches without messing up the layout/functionality. Animate a nav bar—I have designed the icons and background, but when I try to make it all come together, something goes wrong with the interaction. I am on a time crunch, with only a f

Hi, filled out the form for education access and created and account through that process. However, my account is limited and still states “Free.” Is this how it is supposed to work?

Attempting to import a 17MB DNG image (via drag and drop) and just getting the 'Failed to import…Format not recognized or failed to convert). Anyone know the cause of this? I was under the impression that Figma would just proportionally scale it down. Thanks

Hello, I’m a subscribed user and I was working on more than 10 projects. Now I opened the Figma and unfortunately I can’t reach my projects at all. Please help me find them. Thank you.

We have three users feedback same error, what does it mean? How to fix it?

Hi community! I’m trying to log in to an account, and Figma sends a link to a mail I can’t access, because no longer exists. Has this happened to anyone before? Is there a way Figma can send the link to a funtioning mail? Thanks!!

I’m not sure if this is possible but I couldn’t find a way to open up the presentation link to clients without them needing an account. I think I saw someone else request the ability to export to PPT, that would solve this potential issue too. It’s a shame bc while this is a great tool, as of now my team cannot continue to use it because of these limitations.

Up until a day ago, I was able to preview multiple mobile device frames when prototyping simply by changing the device name at the bottom of the preview. Now, it is only allowing me to see “Android Small”. Before, I was able to select different device sizes at the bottom, like “Android Large”, “iPhone 15”, etc. Hopefully I did something wrong as this feature was incredible to use.

As I further upskill in UX Design I’m conducting a case study on a grocery app designed to simplify shopping for busy professionals. It’s a comprehensive tool for meal planning, recipe inspiration, budget-conscious options, and sustainability purchasing. So far, I’ve run cognitive walkthroughs with 8 participants, which provided insights. Now, I’m moving to the heuristic review phase and looking for expert opinions to help evaluate the app’s usability. Some Notes: Please refer to Frustrations and Goals on the attached images. First card of majority of forms only works. If you’re experienced in UX design or usability testing, I’d really appreciate your input! here’s the Figma prototype link: https://www.figma.com/proto/XU9468PyRoGgYvobTsBKBr/Case-study-1?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=65-135&node-type=canvas&viewport=417%2C246%2C0.04&t=852nwGmNqPBn5Kro-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&starting-point-node-id=65%3A135 and here’s the GForms link after testing

Hello all. I am new to Figma, and have not had any training on it, I am just learning on my own. I have searched the help topics, and found a YouTube tutorial, (but it seems to be from the old UI), and I cannot find if I am able to import a gif or a video? Can anyone help me? I apologize if this has already been addressed and I missed it in my searching.

Hi all, I’m trying to set up variables and test light/dark mode, but I can’t find the layer panel on the right, so I can’t switch modes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I fetched styles with restful API and found there is only text style name but no properties: I also fetched and searched the whole json of the file which is about 200MB and can not found those properties. Update: After doing a few searchs in the Figma forum I found that I can get style properties with 'v1/files/{file_key}/nodes?ids=<id1,id2,…idn>`, where id is the node_id

Dear Figma Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I’ve encountered in the current version of Figma. It appears that I am unable to input straight quotes (") while using the software. In previous versions, this functionality was available, but now it seems to be replaced with curved quotes (“”). Having the option to use straight quotes is important for my workflow, so I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue and consider restoring this feature. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for your continued support in providing an excellent design tool! Best regards, UI design Junzhao.

I’m assuming the horizontal lines are the autolayout gaps and the dot indicated the centre - but what is the purpose? It also immobilised the instance and I can’t move it around. Thanks!

Hey i am trying to make multiple instances of a component change on all frames when interacting with one of the instances. Haven’t been able to find much help on this topic myself so giving it a shot here.

Hello, when I use the structures that were previously in my design system on a new page, some of them appear corrupted. When I go to the main component, can you help me?

I can set it to ’ ’ (a space), or any string with text in it, but nothing happens if the value I give it is ‘’.

Hi guys, I have a vector that composes of two images. However I can’t seem to separate them, or at least I can’t find any resources that teaches you how. Here’s a video explaining my situation: Can’t Separate Vector | Screen Recording It would be fantastic if someone could help me out.

I’m running into a UX hiccup when I try to change a missing font and replace it with an existing established library font component from the main replace missing fonts modal. I came back to a file that hasn’t been used for a while, with that came a font update (as I didn’t have the fonts previously used). When scrolling the never ending list of fonts available I found myself thinking 1. I don’t even have any idea what font I should be choosing (I don’t know it by name but more by look) 2. I use my component library so religiously I found myself wishing I could just replace the fonts with what I have established in my companies design library. From this screen I’m unable to bridge that connection.
