I have the integration working from Figma to Slack - comments appear in my slack channel but when I reply to them in a thread, the replies do not appear in the figma file. 

Hello,I am currently unable to activate my Figma Education plan, even though my education status has already been approved by SheerID.During my first verification attempt, there was a technical issue and I deleted my Figma account because I thought restarting the process would solve it.My team is already on an Education plan, and everyone in the team except me currently has full edit access. On my side, Figma still displays a message saying that I need to verify my education status, and that my edit access will soon be restricted.SheerID has confirmed that my verification was approved and provided me with the related verification details.The issue is that when I try to verify again, I receive an error saying that I have exceeded the number of verification attempts for this email. SheerID says they cannot reset anything because, on their side, the verification is already approved. Figma support has not replied to my emails yet.So I am currently stuck in a technical loop:SheerID verifica

I have a plugin to find accessibility issues. We fetch images, traverse the tree and do all sorts of operations but ever since migrating to the new documentAccess: ‘dynamic-page’, the plugin has become slower.

Hi team,I submitted my plugin “Site Palette” for review about two weeks ago, and it’s still showing as private with the message: “This page is private for now. Only you can see it while your plugin is in review.”The plugin connects to a palette.site account and imports saved website color palettes as Figma local variables. It passed submission without any errors, and I haven’t received any feedback or approval email since.Could someone please check the status and flag it internally? I’d really appreciate any update.Thanks!

I submitted my plugin for review on March 8th, and as of today (March 27th) I still haven't received any feedback from the Figma team. No approval, rejection, or requests for changes.That's over 20 days of waiting, while the submission form indicated a turnaround of 5-10 business days.Could anyone share how long the review process is currently taking? Is this wait time normal right now, or should I follow up somewhere specific?

Here’s my setup:I have a full website frame called “Desktop - 1”. Inside this frame, there is a transparent header/navbar placed over the hero image. The navbar contains: logo search icon navigation items (“Destinos”, “Experiências”, “Sobre”) burger menu login icon CTA button Originally, I built the navbar separately as isolated components and the hover animations worked perfectly.What I’m trying to achieve:When hovering “Destinos”, a green selector line appears underneath it. Same behavior for “Experiências” and “Sobre”. Smooth hover transition using Smart Animate.My current structure:“Desktop - 1” → full page/frame with hero section and transparent navbar. Separate component called “Component 4” → isolated navbar version with the green selector line under “Destinos”.The problem:When I integrate everything into the full desktop frame, the hover animation starts flickering/glitching.It looks like Figma is transitioning between:the full desktop frame and the isolated navbar compone

My dropdown is rendering underneath the rest of the content in Preview mode (see attached image).The dropdown frame/component is already at the top of the layer hierarchy, so I don’t think it’s a simple layer order issue. I’ve also checked the parent frames and, as far as I can tell, there’s no clipping/“Clip content” configuration causing it.This only happens in Preview mode. Inside the editor everything looks correct.Has anyone experienced something similar with overlays/dropdowns being rendered behind other elements in Prototype/Preview? Could this be related to nested frames, absolute positioning, auto layout, or some prototype rendering limitation/bug?Would really appreciate any insight 🙏  

I am the admin on my team’s account, and my dashboard is showing that the account is free, and I am no longer able to access any of the files, see the team, or access the admin panel. My team, however, are still able to access the files, and they still see the 7MC team that I created.The chat bot keeps telling me that support tickets are handled Monday-Friday. However, I submitted my support ticket two days ago and no one has responded. I have a few urgent things that need to be done, and this is starting to impact the business. I need it resolved quickly.

HeyyyI Cannot Publish Plugin update after enabling MFA . How can i fix that ? 

My plugin is currently in review. The private Community page says: “Only you can see it while your plugin is in review.”I’m the plugin author and I can see the page, but when I click “Open in...”, Figma opens a file and the plugin keeps loading forever.Local development version works, and local dist/manifest.json import also works.Is the “Open in...” button expected to work for authors before approval? Or is the private listing only for previewing the Community page while the plugin is under review?

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Morse code learning interface in Figma where dots and dashes animate with different timing values during prototyping.The issue I'm facing is:Short signals (.) and long signals (-) require different animation durations Components inside Auto Layout shift unexpectedly during prototype playback Variable-based timing does not stay consistent when switching between interactive states Smart Animate sometimes merges frames incorrectly when repeated Morse characters appear consecutivelyExample:Input text: SOSExpected Morse playback:... --- ...Current behavior:Delays become inconsistent after several transitions Repeated elements overlap or reset unexpectedly Auto Layout spacing changes between statesWhat I’ve already tried:Separate components for dots and dashes Boolean variables for active/inactive states Interactive components with custom easing Nested Auto Layout framesHas anyone built a reliable signal/sequencing system in Figma for something like Morse code pl

I have been trying to pay our Figma invoice but have gotten no response from the billing team when I respond to the emails as I am told to do.I am on an organization account switching from a CC to invoice payment method and need a W9 to process the invoice. How/where do I got to get a response?

I’m doing a project with a map interaction. I wanted to magnify e section of a map using one overlay, then when the magnified version pops up, i want to interact with icons who are present in the magnified version. The problem is that when i try to open another overlay over the first one, the first overlay shuts off because I used the property “when mouse leave”. Any solution if I need to put multiple overlays on top of each other without closing them?

Hi! I'm working on a prototype for an e-commerce site, and I've added some information inside dropdowns. However, I'm not sure how to make the screen adjust dynamically when I open or close those dropdowns.Right now, I want the dropdowns to start closed, and only open when the user clicks on them. I have each dropdown set up with Auto Layout, and it works well if I keep the screen frame at a large height — as if all dropdowns were already open. But when I close them while the frame still has that large height, the prototype ends up with extra empty scrolling space.How can I make the screen size adapt automatically when dropdowns are opened or closed? I tried putting the whole screen in Auto Layout, but then scrolling stops working. I'm kind of lost. Let me know if something i wrote its not understandable. English is not my first language.  Thank YouThis is the screen with all the dropdowns opened This is what happens when i close one of the dropdowns 

Has any one tried using Claude Cowork with Figma yet, and how did it work for you? Have you had issues with it making changes where it shouldn’t, and any ideas on how to mitigate that? Any experience to share is appreciated - thank you! 

Hi, I’m trying to import some .fig files and am getting an “Internal error during import” message whenever I try to import them. I tried importing on both the desktop app and the browser version and get the same error each time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, our team have a similiar problem as this topic where hundreds and hundreds of item are suddenly modified without clarity about what being changed.But whats worse is, just by today morning, my lead told me that yesterday i published a whole library without his approval. complete with my name on the version history.The thing is I never done it. we suspect that it might caused by some shortcut. but even the alt+3 shortcut is not auto publishing it all, it still brings up the publishing window and for sure i did not touch alt+3 for any use whatsoever, that is because usually i don’t remember the shortcuts and prefer the ctrl slash anyway. and at the time of the log I was not opening Figma in the foreground at all.I feel like I’m going crazy. Espescially because its my name on the line. What may have caused this? 

First am i wrong or what why when i ask figma to make me a car game it turns out to not be good. It’s not all the time and i just saw this so i don’t know its just put this on a sticky note and try it later. Say make me a drift racing game with no cars and no track and make sure there is variety in colors of cars. If this gets popular then pls do not advertise this is a question

I am getting a message that says “Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show.” There is also a little icon next to the mode name in all of my files when selecting a palette mode. We use a single design system file that has all of our variables and the other palettes don’t seem to have the same problem. The error message is not very helpful and I have cleaned up all of the files and resolved everything I can find but this message never goes away. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? I have included a couple of images as an example of what I am seeing.

I have used Figma AI (First Draft) to generate a design, and I'm looking at the generated pages. However, I am stuck in the AI interface and cannot find the "Close" button or the "Actions menu" close icon to return to the standard Figma Design editor.I want to edit the layers, text, and colors manually, but the AI sidebar is still active and covering my layers panel. Where exactly is the button to "Finalize" the design and open it in the regular editor? Is there a keyboard shortcut to exit the First Draft view? Do I need to "Save" or "Export" this draft to a new file to start manual editin
