I’m currently locked out of my main Figma account because the email linked to it was changed without my knowledge. As a result, I can’t log back in, and all my projects are inaccessible. I reached out to Figma support 2 days ago, but I haven’t heard back. This is starting to impact my work, and I’m really concerned about losing access to my projects. I’m posting this from a different account just to reach out to the community and see if anyone else has dealt with something similar. Has anyone had success in getting this resolved? How long does support usually take to respond in situations like this? Any advice would be appreciated—hoping someone from Figma sees this and can help.

Здравствуйте! не переключаются ползунки изменяющие параметры картинки (яркость, температура и прочие). Что делать, почему так?

I have an “Education” account. But I don’t have access to the update that allows, for example, in FigJam to have several pages on a board. How can I access the FigJam update with an “Education” plan? Thanks for your help!

Hi there, is it possible to retrieve the different values for a variable assigned to a text style property? Ie. I have a text style with which i have a variable ‘type-scale-1’ assigned to the font size. This variable has several different values based on the mode selected ie. 48 for desktop, 40 for tablet, 32 for mobile etc. Is it possible to retrieve the variable and its associated values for each mode or does retrieving a text style only ever retrieve the raw value for each text style property for the default mode the file is in?

The new UI3’s CTA hierarchy needs improvement. The library update notification seems to have been unfairly suppressed. The only visual indication of this is a small blue dot on the library icon. When a component is updated in the library file, the only call-to-action (CTA) is a rather inconspicuous “update” button. This button is significant as it not only serves as the next expected action but also indicates the component’s unpublished status. We have this blue “Share” CTA, which is not used that often. We share files occasionally. There are different workflows, but I hardly can imagine one sharing files every 15 min or so. On the other hand, we update and publish components all the time.

I am unable to view the Create component Set in UI3?

I believe this behavior changed for me around May 1. I am using the Figma Desktop App version 116.8.5 on macOS. I have a sinking feeling this is the new expected behavior and will not be considered a bug, but I hope someone has a workaround or the devs reconsider this change. To replicate: Place a shape layer inside a frame, select the shape, and set its vertical and horizontal restraints to “Scale”. Use the alignment controls in the right sidebar or Arrange menu to change the shape’s position relative to its frame. The positioning changes as expected, but it also adjusts the layer’s vertical and horizontal constraints to override the previously set constraint (“Scale”) with new ones (“Right” and “Bottom” in my screenshot). In my opinion, the Align controls should not adjust Constraints settings. They can be used in conjunction, but they should not be tied together intrinsically. A decent workaround for my use case would be the ability to set constraint options with a keyboard shortc

Hello, I have a question. I need to translate some screens of a project I’m working on from ENG to PT using String variables. The issue is that in some components I can assign a String, while in others I can’t. See the example below: In the “Drawer” frame, I can only assign a String to the texts that are detached. On the other hand, in the “Schedule Recordings” frame, I can assign Strings to any text. In the main “Step-Item” component, the option for String doesn’t appear, but in the main “Table Row” component, it does appear. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-MRNXvZh3ss?si=tdglxkkUUY4hRdfK" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I tried to follow the instructions here to change the owner of a team: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039481134-Transfer-ownership-of-a-team In step 2 it says there should be a dropdown for team assignment, but there is not. It just says “can edit 1 file” and “no team-level permissions” How do I switch ownership to another member?

I’m working on updating an existing app to allow iOS and Android to increase text size via each operating systems’ accessibility settings. I found iOS Dynamic Type Scale plugin for iOS and AndroidTextView (In Chinese?) for Android. Does anyone know of another Figma plug in for both mobile platforms that is dynamic so that i can move a slider similar to each platform and be able to see the changes? Or is there a tool outside of Figma. My google searches aren’t coming up with anything other than what I’ve already mentioned.

EDIT: This trick I found here helped. I wonder if this still is the simplest way to achieve this? I’ve set auto-layout that would first have few icons, username and then long message where next line of text would start at the left edge of the container like the blue outline shows. Is this even possible?

Hi,i am trying to create mouse enter animation but cant connect my variants nodes then i tried to select both frames and make them component set but this button is also missing plz help ?

import * as XLSX from ‘xlsx’; I tried to load xlsx libraria but when generate code.js he said this is my config { “compilerOptions”: { “target”: “es5”, “lib”: [“es6”, “dom”], “strict”: true, “typeRoots”: [ “./node_modules/@types”, “./node_modules/@figma”, “./types” ] }, “include”: [“./**/*.ts”], “exclude”: [“node_modules”] }

Looking for a way to retain the filter settings when I download activity reports (aka “Get CSV” from the Admin panel). Filtering the information by events/activity works great in the tool. However, to do some analysis re specific events/actions taken over time, it would be helpful to be able to download a file that mimics what I see online instead of a .csv file that contains all events. It might be ok for small shops but not for large organizations. If someone has figured it out, please let me know. And if it’s not feasible yet, please show some love to admins, Figma, and introduce features to make our life a bit easier too.

Hi. Recently, I noticed that one file that contained several important pages disappeared from my workspace. I didn’t delete this file, so I’m asking for your help in restoring it.

Hi, I’m new to Figma and have been making a budgeting app. For the wallet section of my app I wanted it to be almost like apple pay whereby when you select a card or rotate it to the next the previous card falls back into the deck. However I have no idea how to do this and no youtube video or google search has helped me with this problem.

Dear community, I searched a lot here but didn’t find an answer at least with kind of reasonable actuality. So sorry if I just didn’t find the right place with discussion or answer. Situation: We have a pro plan with a team and a project within, which now needs to be moved into a new enterprise level organisation at client side. The project consists of a bunch of project files with the layouts + one global public library file. All components in all project files are using this one library file. If I do a “Copy project” transfer, I am loosing branches, comments and also the links to the components in the central library. Is it correct, that I will NOT loose all the component links to the global library file, when I transfer the project with “Transfer” instead of copy? The project is huge and it would be a great problem, if we would loose all connections. So when it will not work, please shout out and tell me how I can solve this 🙂 Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, I’m working on a slide deck with lots of video content and send for review every few days. what is happening is that after a few days of detailed edits, the share link URL will change so that anyone who had it before needs a new link. opening the ORIGINAL link will send you to a blank “slide 0 of 24” without a way to move forward to slide 1. refreshing the page won’t unlock it, you have to press the Restart button in the bottom right to access, which is very unintuitive (especially for folks unfamiliar with slides) is there a way to preserve the URL link so that it doesn’t change over the life of the slide deck? I don’t like having to send new links to colleagues and prospects for the same deck.

Has anyone else experienced Figma prototypes not saving settings? I’ve unchecked ‘Show Hotspot Hints’ and every time I re-open the prototype, it is checked again. Is this a known bug? Is there a work-around?

Hello, I’m working on a plugin for changing collection modes. Using figma.teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync() I get the available collections, but they are not returned as collection objects, therefore I can not use them with setExplicitVariableModeForCollection directly, as far as I can tell. Since that requires a collection object. Furthermore the getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync() only provides the library keys and not an ID. What is the actual logical way to go about this? Considering my library is not a local library that I want to change a mode for. Thank you.

I was on a monthly subscription, but it suddenly changed to a yearly subscription. I’d like to know why this suddenly happened and will it be changed back to a monthly subscription?

In the new UI 13 I love the taskbar at the bottom of the screen! But it keeps compacting to just 3 icons. This means for all practical purposes Figma is unusable. 🥵 Help! How can I get my Figma back ? I need to carry on using it. 😅2024-10-17T23:00:00Z

Currently, when we publish updates, we can see that components have been modified, but there’s no clear indication of what specifically changed. It would be extremely helpful to have a feature that lets us compare changes and highlight differences before publishing. Many design systems must be struggling with this! In large, collaborative environments, we need better visibility into what’s being updated—real change logs with notes, version numbers, etc., for both designers and developers. With branching, we can review changes before merging, so why can’t we compare what a component looked like before versus its new modifications—such as variable (token) updates? The same applies to variables (tokens) and their usage. Figma’s current functionality feels limited, particularly because it lacks analytics. It would be invaluable to see where each token is connected and used, rather than relying on the knowledge of those who built it. A feature that provides this visibility would be a game c

How can I turn on the toolbar so that it is on top? I have it from the bottom and it’s not convenient.
