Font from Google Fonts stopped working in cyrillic, although it had been working before. In latin it still works and is displayed. I used this font in the design, and when I opened Figma the next day, and clicked on the text with this font, it changed to the standard one.

I love your new advanced prototyping feature using variables and expressions. However, every time I present them to our squads, I’m often asked to go back one step. Because of the way they’re set up, I need to restart the prototype and go through the entire flow from the beginning to get to the correct step. It’d be really cool if the prototype could remember my chronological history and I could just press Back to go back a step.

Hello ~ I have a component that is a table row with properties. Within that row, I have a cell with a dropdown that also has associated properties. When I go to prototype, to make the dropdown cell change to a different property when clicked on, I get a menu for the table row properties, not the cell. Any suggestions on how to fix this??

Last week I created one Figma Deck template, and published it to the organization (Pro plan) that I am the Admin. Me and other members of the organization were able to access and use this template on personal team projects (free plan). As of today, this is not possible anymore, and now the template seems to only be accessible when I create a new slide deck inside the organization’s team. There is no way to pay every member of the organization a Full Seat so they can use the organizations templates, considering they will have one or two simple decks at most. Is this a bug? Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

This is a new problem – recently when I try scroll to the left on a FigJam on my Mac trackpad it triggers backspace, so am constantly accidentally exiting the board. Resorting to switching between the select and hand tool to navigate but the shortcut keys for them are difficult to reach on my keyboard (V and H). I’m on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1.

Since latest update to v124.3.3 whenever I use Figma (even with light files), my GPU usage is unusually high, it spikes up to 90%. It will come back down as soon as I switch to a different app (chrome for example) and go back up when I’m back on Figma. I never had this kind of GPU usage before the latest update. Has anyone else experienced this?

I added a gmail account to my google account but my google account had the domain @hotmail.com.br but now the main one is @gmail.com and I can’t change that, but my projects were at @hotmail.com .br and now I no longer have access. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it

I would like to offer an explainer video in a file. However, so far I’ve only seen that you can play videos in prototypes, but unfortunately not as a single video on a page. Is there a way to do this?

Hi there, I copied a frame from one project to another because I wanted to use it in the new project. However, the grid from the original project still seems to be linked to the frame in the new project. Even after removing the grid style, it appears to be somehow connected. I’ve tried the following steps: Removed the grid style from the frame. Detached any linked styles. Deleted and re-added the grid. Despite these attempts, the grid settings still seem to be tied to the original project. Has anyone encountered this issue before? How can I completely disconnect the grid from the original project so that it functions independently in the new project? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I am trying to do something like this! I need these zig-zag or spike divider Does anyone know how I can have these in Figma?

Hello to everyone… i just study ux/ui. Today i started Figma and i began to cry. This tool bar… i have no good words (im sorry). Help me please with advices - how i can change position or back previous version? My eyes have to constantly go down. It also automatically forces my head down, which I would like to avoid. Also, this toolbar takes up workspace.

Any time I update a component (navigation, for example), and update in layout, it puts the bloody variant interactions I removed back without telling me I don’t want every prototype to have variant interactions on every screen. It distracts from (or even interferes with) specific tasks. If I kill a variant interaction, I want it to remain that way, amen ATM I have to go manually remove the things again every time I update a component. And it gets suuuuuuuppppeeeeerrr messy when I update components with instances nested in the component I removed the variant interaction from (ie, I update a button component, the button instance lives in the nav component, nav component now has to update > all my prototypes with nav components effed to death). Can you just not. Honour manual overrides, for the love of everloving spaghetti monster. At least if a manual override cocks something, I only have myself to blame.

I searched for this question, but did not find a satisfying answer: I often have a component that is coming from a library and needs to be positioned at a certain position on the screen. I am using anchoring and guides to synchronize positions and make them work well with different component states, but neither position nor anchoring can be set on the original component. So, if the component position changes, I have to again go through all UIs and update it… How do you address this in your documents? Is there a set of features that I missed? Do you create additional wrapper components just for the positioning information? Do you create one for the whole screen, or one for each component?

The new minimize UI feature is great, the UI is minimalist, not in the way while I work and avalaible as soon as I interact with an element, well thought and well executed. I liked the floating panels, they are not the problem they are a scapegoat of other usability issues, I’m sad they’re gone.

Hello all, I have applied blur effects on multiple card layer to achieve the glassmorphism card effect. However, the blur effect works on the first two cards which are ‘touching’ the background image and not the third card. Here is a screenshot of the carousel of cards that I have made. As shown in the image, the first two cards are ‘touching’ the background, and the third card does not ‘touch’ the background as it is outside of the main frame. Upon viewing the prototype, the blur effect on the third card does not appear to be blurred and displays as white blur instead as shown in the image below. If i tweak the width so the third card ‘touches’ the background, then only the blur effect works. Refer to these images below:

Hello Figma Community, where can we see the saved items from community

Hi, I tried to follow the advice given here, but constraints are still not showing in my right tool bar. I double checked and the objects are in a frame, not in a group, I also made sure that the main frame is not in the autolayout mode, so that it doesn’t affect the object inside of it, but either way, nothing changes after switching from layout to autolayout. I also checked in the Prototype section as someone here advised, but still nothing, there is no such option visible there. I tried clicking on both the whole frame and the object alone to try each of the proposed options, but constraints are still not visible. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? 😦 Thanks

I have lost access to my Gmail account, which was linked to my Figma account. Unfortunately this means I can no longer log in to Figma. I’ve created this new account to seek assistance. Could anyone guide me on how to change the email address associated with my Figma account so that I can regain access?

I recently migrated a Figma project that includes a main file and a component library to another account. I downloaded the files and imported them into the new account, then published both the component library and the main file. While everything seems to be working fine initially, I’ve noticed an issue with the components—they don’t appear to be properly linked. For example, if I try to edit a component in the library, the changes don’t reflect in the main file. Additionally, when I try to use the “Go to main component” option, I get the message: “You don’t have access to the file.” Has anyone else encountered this issue? I’d really appreciate any advice or solutions to resolve this. Thanks!

As shown in the figure, the green area is the hot zone that can trigger interaction, which is good, but the “Export” button cannot trigger interaction by clicking the red area

Hello, I mistakenly deleted my team and restored it myself, but some files that I recently made were not restored along with other works, I ask you to help with this problem, these are very important files for me

I don’t see any of the UI updates or the AI for design. I tried to reinstall it again, but it’s still not working.
