I have an existing Text Style called BodyText that’s applied across multiple components. I’d like to replace BodyText with another Text Style that has identical properties (e.g., font, size, weight, etc.)—my goal is simply to consolidate the old BodyText (and potentially other similar Text Styles) into a single, unified Text Style. Example Scenario: I currently have multiple Text Styles named Body 1, Body 2, and Body 3. They all share the same properties, but I want to replace them with just one BodyText style so that it’s consistent across the entire design. What’s the best way to accomplish this without manually changing each instance?

Hi! I’m having a problem with image resizing inside a frame. The image is set to “fit”, so it keeps it’s aspect ratio when i resize the width of the frame. The problem I’m having is that the image container itself have blank space over and under the image. Therefor if i want other content inside the frame, there will be a lot of blank space between the content and the actual image. Is there any way to resize a frame containing an image without getting the blank space over and under the image?

Lost the Layers Panel in a Figma Slides presentation while in the Slide view. I can see the Layers panel in Grid view, though. I had the Layers panel before in Slide view, but now it’s gone, and I can’t find how to retrieve it (or even how I changed the settings).

I am trying to password protect a prototype but after clicking share, i do not have the option to add a password (following the official Figma instructions). Yes, i am on the professional plan.

We want to store our animated components/illustrations somewhere and I was wondering if there would be a way to do this in Figma and if so what the correct workkflow/method would be. If, we usually have LottieFiles.

When I export my resume as a pdf, everything looks correct. However, when I try to copy and paste the text, many words are misspelled or have random characters in it. This is a big problem for when companies auto read my resume.

I’m trying to replicate 9-slice from unity. I have two frames, one with items to slice and second one with which will slice items. Everything is working like it should, the main problem are gradients. They all work via matrices and I’m not very good with math. All gradients are kept relative to the objects they are located at. But I want to keep the gradient of the object they have sliced. I know Figma is doing it by default when you select “Intersect selection” but it in code intersect only returns geometry difference between two objects and all fills and gradient you have to move yourself. ChatGPT helped me to keep the scale of the gradient, but he couldn’t help me with offset, it’s always is off. Here is my code: It works with horizontals gradient that go from left side of object to right side. But if it’s a little bit rotated or scale is not the same it breaks. Can someone help me?

During export, a group of frames in a Figma PDF file is resized in both height and width. For example, a frame with an original size of 1080x1080 becomes 4500x4500 after export. Even if I export each frame individually as a PNG (where the size is retained as 1080x1080) and then combine them into a single file using other software, I encounter the same issue: the final size becomes 4500x4500. How can I fix this?

I’ve created an auto layout component that includes an accordion menu and a form. There is an “Apply Now” Button in the accordion menu that I would like to scroll to the Job Application Form section on the same page. This doesn’t seem to be working when the component is placed into a frame. Any ideas?

Since last Friday, a few projects have been opening showing old versions of my designs but are saying they are the most current. The only way I can get around this to see the most current version is by getting a shared link in Jira from last week and clicking through from there. Any ideas?

Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with the team I created. I am the team owner and, until now, I was the only member. However, my access suddenly changed to ‘limited access’. As a result, I can no longer access my files and data from this team. Is there a way to recover full access? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

In the old UI I could select preferred Icons to use in a component. In the new UI can’t see how to do this? Can’t even see how I edit a set of preferred icons already set.

is there any limits for the number of collections in a file?

Hi there, I am having an issue that my thumbnails are not showing up. The projects are just white boxes on my projects page. I have tried restoring the thumbnail and resetting it multiple times. Any tips?

Figma newbie here… After creating approximately 30-50 detailed screens with the elements (text, animations, graphics, buttons, etc.), I realized they were completely the wrong size. Huge mistake caught too late. My screens were set to 1440x3033 (I mistakenly thought this was the dimension of a large Android phone), and they need to be 360x800 with all the elements scaled proportionately. Can I set a ‘default’ size for my project and have everything resize to match it, or perhaps code/run a script that will do the hard work? Batch resizing/scaling? Otherwise, resizing each detail by hand will cost me quite a bit. Before I dig in, I’d like to see if there’s an easier way. Thank you!

팀프로젝트에서 다같이 편집하고 있는데 마우스 커서가 안보입니다. 보이게 할수 있는 방법이 없나요 팀원들끼리 편집을 하려면 마우스가 보여야하는데 중요한걸 안보이게 하시면은… 곤란해요… 왜 도대체 업데이트를 하신건지…

이번에 제 계정도 피그마 업데이트가 진행되었는데, 그 과정에서 Draft로 있던 파일 일부가 사라졌습니다. 이전에 URL을 따놔서 주소로 들어가니 해당 파일을 찾을 수 없다는 알림만 나옵니다. 이 드라프트 파일을 되살릴 수 있는 방법이 없나요?

I am student that uses Figma with educational licence. My education plan expired before the course was over. I verified my status again and now I can’t edit my old files. I also can’t paste my work into a team project. What should I do?

When ever I copy components from other files it automatically adds variable mode switch from that component variables. I’m only using local variables and added M3 kit for components. Is there any way to fix this besides detaching all variables from that component then import into the desired file.

Hi! I lost access to my emails linked to my Figma account and can no longer login, since to reset lost account’s password I don’t have that email with me. What shall I do? I can’t login to my lost account. Please help me with this, I have so important files in that account.

Hello! I would love to get support about moving files from an expired account to a new account. I have been using my undergraduate account(gmail) for the edu plan and got a notification it is expired. Now I have started graduate studies, I made a new edu account with my new school email. I still need to use the materials in the previous account, but it is locked and not letting me give the owner access to my new account. Is there any way I can access and edit the files in the previous account?

The following procedure: I go into the Figma app and mirror my project that I have opened in the Chrome browser. It works perfectly, the screen I selected in the browser is mirrored on the iPhone. However, as soon as I switch the iPhone to standby (iPhone screen off) and go back to the Figma app, which remained open, the screen in the app turns black. So I have to leave the screen in the app again and restart the mirroring. Every time from scratch. This is very annoying. Am I using the product incorrectly or do we have a bug here? iPhone XS iOS 15.4.1
