First create a multi-button state component set named Button. Then create a component set called the Button group from the components in this component set. Modified the component style in the component set Button. These changes cannot be synchronized to the Button group component set. Why? Is there a solution?

can you tell me how to center it?

I can’t find an article of how is the usage of applying variables to the variants of a component. I see only instances of variants that can connect to variables, but it does not work satisfyingly. Does anyone have the knowledge of how they work? I’m not talking about prototyping. this is the design side. I searched but could not find a good explanation.

Hi everyone, can anybody tell me if it is possible in Figma to synchronize the scrolling of two different overflowing frames. Imagine I have two frames (Column1 and Column2) and inside of it, I have several nested Frames (Cell) which overflow vertically. When I scroll Column1 vertically, I want that Column2 scrolls vertically as well, and vice versa. Is that possible?

There are two colors for each of these following frames only so I can see if it is scrolling. The teal and orange colors represent a frame named “Habit Titles” which has, Position: Scroll with parent and Overflow: Vertical, set. There are more teal and orange boxes which continue downward and are cut out of this visible frame The blue and red colors represent a frame named “Dates” which has, Position: Scroll with parent and Overflow: Horizontal, set. There are more blue and red boxes which continue leftward and are cut out of this visible frame The green and purple colors represent a frame named “Habit Entries” which has, Position: Scroll with parent and Overflow: Both directions, set. There are more green and purple boxes which continue both downward and leftward and are cut out of this visible frame. All three of these frames lie within a frame named “Display Frame” which has, Overflow: Both directions set. All three are scrolling in the directions they are intended to, showing the r

As I don’t see any topics that solve my problem I’m going to give it a try, since I’m getting increasingly fed up with this issue. The situation: I’m working on the component library for my organisation; I publish the changes made; I then go to the file in which the libary I just updated is used; The is no notification of an update When I check for updates in the assets panel there are updates listed; I klick on “Update” and still nothing happens So I am stuck with a library that refuses to update. It DOES however update when I close and reopen Figma. Any suggestions here besides quitting Figma and moving to the competition?

As I’m trying to export some frames, they get exported with white borders/angles around them. How can I get rid of it?

Hello Everybody hope you are live and well, Trying to zoom in and out in the iPhone app while in prototype mode. With no success. Is there a way to do it? Thanks, Aviad

I think I had to explain to everyone in my org using Figma (30+ collaborators) that they have the option to hide the comments (shift C) from the initial view. Comments definitely get in the way of inspecting and navigating around files. Important note: I use comments a lot for note taking when presenting prototypes so they clutter the view for everyone afterwards.

Hi all, I have a component which uses another component inside, this component is expandable. When I use this component on itself it works as intended but when I try to add this newly created component the expanding of the component does not work, the height stays the same. When I detach the instance of the component the expanding functionality works again… I use auto-layout with hugging heights. I unfortunately can’t upload a video because I’m a new user

In order to continue with the Education Plan, I tried to change my email address to my school email, but I accidentally created a new account with the school email. Although I have already deleted that account, when I try to change my email to the school address, it says “This email address is already in use,” and I can’t make the change. How can I continue with the Education Plan on my current account?

I’m trying to get anima to load a run a map embed and it seems to be working whenever I preview from animas plugin but I can’t get it to run in Figma’s preview.

Hello, I had a free Figma account until the expiry, then I didn’t work with Figma for two months. Last week I came back and to my surprise, all of my draft design is totally gone, I mean the files are there but inside it’s like a totally blank projects. No colors, No settings, No Layers, No assets, Nothing! It’s very very frustrating. I never had this experience with Adobe XD. I upgraded my account to pro to make sure I access to all version history. but there is no version history as well. Just one point in version history from two months ago and that one is also a blank project. I’m confused, how can I get my design back?

Hi! I’m new to the concept of variables and tokens. I have several Figma files, and I’ve been using a style library until now. I can assign my library to every new file I created. How does it work with variables and tokens? Should I create them in a library? Is this something I’ll have to replicate on each file?

I searched, but dont know what the issue is… hope theres any help! I need to use Figma for school, and have put my school email in a verification thing. When I go to that site as linked by my professor it says I am already verified, and links me to the Figma browser interface. Once there, I cannot access any professional features and am asked to get a professional plan by paying. The automated customer support email tells me I am on a «Starter account» - so I gather I am NOT verified. How do I fix this? I need to join my group’s team… Thanks!

I had a starter account and was working on a design file for some time on the web. I had also opened it several times on the mobile app in past few weeks. Today I opened it on my chrome tab (it was already open) only to see it refresh and then I am not able to access or find that file again. I have NOT deleted it, hence I am seeing nothing on the deleted files list. Please help me as this is frustrating, disappointing and scary as the file had a lot of hard work put in in one month.

I am trying to set up master template options for my team in Figma Slides, which is cooking my brain. I can’t delete default colours that are not in use and I can’t add master colour options. 🤯 How do I edit these? and give them correct names and delete duplicates ? Then I can only find assets when I have something selected on the slide…

there is spinning disk and flickering effect and idk how to unite them? please help…

Hello, I’ve been using Figma for 3 years, and recently I noticed some options/tools are missing in the latest version. Earlier, I used to see different templates and options for desktop and mobile, but now I can’t seem to find them. Has something changed with the new update? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

This is a function of browser - there’s a button to select, but it’s not working when i hit select. opening a link from outlook or slack pulls it up in the browser for me. did something break?

My layers panel suddenly disappeared in both design and slide mode. New presentations do show the panel, but this particular one no longer does. Duplicating it also doesn’t show the panel. This has nothing to do with grid view–it has no impact

Hello all I have created a little animated icon where a traffic cone wiggles a little on hover/mouse enter. I also have an animated button, that changes from orange to blue on hover. I can’t figure out how to connect the two - so when I hover over the button, the button changes colour and the traffic cone wiggles too. And vice-versa. Is there a specific way to set this up, if it’s possible at all? Any help is most appreciated 🙂

A colleague was having an issue where she can’t see layered objects (images, nested groups, etc) inside a shared document. Others team members able to see the elements and the document looks fine - is this most likely a memory issue on her end? I suggested she try erasing the cache and restarting, which seems to have helped for now, but I wonder if there’s anything else she should be doing to avoid this issue in the future.

I am having this issue on one of my primary work files. I have submitted a ticket.
