Hey Figma Community! 👋 If you regularly create prototypes in Figma, we’d love to hear from you! Participants will receive an Amazon gift card as a thank you for their time and feedback. The Product Design team at ProtoPie is seeking intermediate experienced Figma users to participate in a remote usability test for the latest version of our plugin, ProtoPie Genie. Your feedback will help us understand how to improve the plugin and create better tools for the design community. What to expect: You’ll open a Figma design file, share your screen, and complete several short tasks using the ProtoPie Genie (Beta) plugin. Where? This is a remote study conducted online via Google Meet. How long is a session? Approximately 1 hour. Interested? Please fill out this screener survey, it only takes a few minutes! 🎉 (We will close the survey when the recruitment is finished) Thank you and we hope to speak with you soon! Regards, Product Design Team @ ProtoPie

I used the FigJam whiteboard option and shared it onto my students Google classroom. When you click on the link to access it, it just says file not found… I was hoping to use FigJam instead of Jamboard…

After removing styles that contained a variable, the removed style is still visible in Selection colors. Also component library reports 0 changes after Styles were removed. What do I need to do to actually remove the remaining hidden styles so that only the variables are in Selection colors (without reapplying them all by hand)?

Hi, All my files have disappeared from my account since Figma started making changes. Has this happened to anyone else? How can I recover them?

I don’t know what I did but since last week I’m unable to resize anything by click-and-dragging my mouse over a resize field… Did I disabled something? How do I activate it back? I’m very used to it and miss dearly.

I can’t find it and all my new designs don’t have any paragraph spacing. Bring it back, Figma team, PLEASE!

Hi, I have noticed a bug in the latest release of Figma, where i don’t seem to be able to create text styles. I have to click the + icon in the create text styles UI repeatedly, and eventually the UI does appear but it seems to be a bug, as it happens intermitently. Anyone having a similar issue? I did find some post about this but they were from a year ago. I am running the latest version of Figma and using the desktop app. Any tips appreciated. Thanks Andy

hello，My student email address was deleted by the school and I cannot log in to my account. However, my portfolio is all in this account 😭 😭 😭 😭.

Hello, I would like to inquire if there is a global setting that allows me to permanently set the stacking order to “first on the top.” It is quite frustrating that the current default is “last on the top.” This inconsistency is visually confusing, especially when the layers in the left pages panel appear at the top but are actually placed at the bottom. Thanks a lot! Jecy

Hi, I’ve designed a wire frames in Figma and would like to export it into FigJam to show it layed out as a sitemap. Is there any simple way to do that or am I stuck creating the sitemap manually and referencing the Figma file for direction? Thanks!

¡Hola comunidad de Figma! Hola soy un experto en el desarrollo de software a medida y estoy creando complementos para diferentes plataformas para una empresa de desarrollo de software , ahora quiero integrar una pasarela de pagos para una aplicación en Figma y estoy buscando una guía de cómo iniciar si alguien me podría ayudar, muchas gracias!

Hey everyone, we have a custom solution that pulls our variables directly from Figma into code. It works by identifying each variable through code syntax and distributing it based on the platform (iOS, Android, Web). We encountered an issue where a specific variable appears as a duplicate. The problem is that this repeated variable doesn’t actually exist as a duplicate in Figma—there is only one instance. We’re using a plugin called Heron Variables that processes all variables, applying code syntax for each one based on its name and platform as defined. Here’s the output from our developers: ... 'Component/Button Text/Tertiary/Default', 'Component/Button Text/Tertiary/Hover', 'Component/Button Text/Tertiary/Pressed', --------------------------------------------- 'Component/Button Text/On Color/Text', 'Component/Button Text/On Color/Text', <- AGAIN --------------------------------------------- 'Component/Button Text Navigation/Text' <- NEXT TOKEN ... As you can see in

I have hundreds of web layouts that need to be adapted for mobile and tablet breakpoints. Rather than manually adjusting each one, I’m looking for an AI tool or plugin to automate this process and seamlessly convert my web layouts into responsive mobile and tablet designs. Any recommendations?

столкнулась с проблемой того что когда хочу посмотреть что получилось в окне в формате планшета, я просто не могу его там найти, когда формат мака ок, но когда пытаюсь включить фрейм планшета выдает только варианты телефонов, помогите пожалуйста, я новичок

Is anyone else having trouble adding a creator to a file published in Community? No matter what I type the publish form says “not found.” It’s just @ followed by the handle name, correct? No matter what I type it says “not found.” You’d think “@mike” without the quotes would bring up someone (it does when I type it here), but it doesn’t. My internet is working fine. Oh! I see the problem. This person I was trying to add (not mike) just provided the requirements so I hadn’t added him as an editor.

Some of my fellow team members have AI and I still don’t. I have logged out, unistalled and reinstalled. Is there something I am missing? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.

I’m trying to set up a responsive prototype, and it’s rather glitchy in desktop app. Often, when I click a navigation item, the next page loads smaller, with the previous page apparently visible at full-screen in background. That’s problem #1 Looking at suggestions online, there were a set of steps, found here But, I’m finding there is no “Shortcut” icon, or “properties”… I click on the question mark icon at the bottom right corner of the app, and it shows nothing relevant. Just Help, support, youtube, release notes, legal, feedback, community, contact support and pick a language. I also tried pressing control / shift / ? and nothing happens. I’m on a Mac

Hi everyone, Please advise, I’m trying to import a Figma design on Windev. This error keeps popping up. The token has been entered and is valid. Any tips or tricks on how to resolve this please? Thanks in advance

I have a nested component system, where I swap out inner components for different content. These inner components have different heights. Every single element in the structure of the components has an Auto-Layout, and they all are set to “Hug” (the height is defined within the innermost-level component). However, when swapping out the content component, its height property is always changed to “Fixed”. I checked every element, and all of them are set to “Hug”. Only once I swap the nested component, “Hug” changes to “Fixed”. It is changed with the swapping of the component, no matter what component I swap in. Manually re-changing the property to “Hug” fixes the issue, and I can from then on swap out the content, and “Hug” works & persists.

Is there any possibility to obtain font files of organization’s shared fonts via plugin API? Is there any plans to provide such feature? This would be useful for a plugin that converts design to project files that can be run in a preview application. This viewer app would run as WASM and have in-memory sandbox file system where we would need to have those font files available.

Hi 🙂 I’m looking for a way to mark an item on screen but play an animation when doing so. Let’s say I want to star an item and remember that no matter what page I’m on that item is starred. I can do that with a variable attached to the show/hide property - great. What I would like to do and don’t know how to do is to play an animation when turning starring on or off e.g. a bounce. Any suggestions on how I could do this? I’ve tried attaching a variable to the component variant but I can’t get it to play through the bounce presumably because the variant is tied to the variable and won’t change.

I have been trying to understand this undo button that shows up when you rename the layers. I thought it would undo the changes in layer naming (it does not), and its position is strangely aligned with the question on the left. Does anyone know what it does? P.S. It doesn’t undo the renaming part; I have tried that multiple times.

Hi Figma Community, I’m trying to upgrade my Figma subscription but I haven’t been able to get in touch with the sales team. I’ve emailed and called multiple times with no luck. We desperately need more licenses ASAP and the current plans don’t work for us. Can anyone help me escalate this? Thanks,

I don’t know where to post this, so i try here. I was wondering for a while why my Figma app would say there is a new update but whenever i looked at the release notes website it said the last update was multiple weeks old. Until i realized the website automatically redirects you to the german site (and i guess other languages have the same problem) and without a possibility to tell the site not to do this i had to set my Browser to english just to check out if the release notes where different in english and lo and behold there they were the last 4 updates I could not see as a user generally enjoing websites in my native tounge… So is it to much to ask to get up to date german release notes or at least get a language select on the website so I dont have to jump through hoops just to find out what changes were made to my work utility?
