Hi there, I’ve encountered an issue where the font isn’t displayed correctly in certain prototypes. Specifically, in some cases, the font appears cropped in the preview. You can see this issue in the screenshot, where the letter “g” is not fully visible. This is really frustrating, and I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem or could help me with a solution? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

When I preview or mirror my designs on my phone, some elements appear over fixed element when I am scrolling. This is the Figma file link so you can check it out for yourself and get an idea of what I am talking about - https://www.figma.com/design/mgHmH5CXnEyYv3X4n18uFx/Untitled?node-id=1-418&t=J4lasbNbPV69RTGx-1

As the title says. We are in the process of moving all our files from individual drafts to a paid team. I’m the owner and I moved mine no problem, but the other designer (set as admin) on our team can not move any of his files into the team or to individual projects. He has the newest update to Figma, and I do not. He is set as admin, with edit access both at the team level and the project levels. Please help!

Dear Figma Community, I’ve enabled AI mode in the settings, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to use AI in my Figma design file. I don’t have access to the new panel, and I don’t see any AI options when right-clicking in the menu panel. Could someone please share a screenshot of the older panel and guide me on where to find the AI tool in the previous version of the UI? Thanks in advance Kindly Regards, Marcus

i try to prototype this simple lofi mobile but it didnt fit well , i dont know why please help, thankyou

Hello everyone. I have a shared design system for my team to use. When they add a component from the shared design system to their project, the ability to duplicate an item (command-D) within that component doesn’t seem to work. Is this normal? For example, I have a list of bullet points with a tick icon. Each text box and icon is grouped together, and I’m using auto layout to distribute them vertically. To add a new bullet point to list, I was using command-D to do this. But once it’s brought into a new project, command-d stops working and I can’t add a new bullet point. Have I potentially set up the component wrong? Any help most appreciated. 🙂

Basically what the title says haha

I am beginner self learning student. This videos are really helpful but there are some problems that I am facing maybe because of some minor errors I’m trying to replicate everything shown in the video but got stacked since last 2 days in auto layout thing after adding auto layout frame and renaming it as shown in the video and adding a description the other frames are not moving someone please helppppppp.

Why is this appearing in my FigJam? If I want to continue editing after 10/16, how can I resolve it?

Hi All Looking for some guidance on the interaction. Is it possible to set up vertical scrolling that switches to horizontal scrolling when you reach a specific section on a page? This is for desktop. Currently I have set an option to animate a horizontal section on mouse enter - but it’s not working/looking well. Would like to be able to set so all vertical sections scroll vertically when using mouse to scroll down the page, and when you hit a section that’s set to horizontal scrolling - it does this while still using your mouse to scroll down the page. Effectively switching between the two when appropriate. I hope this makes sense!? It’s a bit like parallax scrolling where you reach a section with more information that automatically scrolls content horizontally. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hey, 👋 community. I am having trouble seeing the “Appearance” parameter from the right panel (see the picture), which has disappeared. However, if I select only one page, I notice that some properties belonging to “Appearance” are shown at the top. I felt it was pretty like a bug, but I would like to ask if anyone has the same issue. Thanks!

I published the library both 1) in my Figma Org and 2) in the Figma community. For the public web docs I generated deep-links to my components by “Copy link to selection ⌘L”. When I do the ⌘L thing, the URLs leads to the file in my Figma file system. Is there a way to generate a deep-link that leads to the Community version of the same file? I know I can generate an overall link to the community file by clicking the share icon “link”: But I’d need a community deep-link, like the one created with ⌘L.

Is anyone else having 503 Temporary Outage errors when accessing their files? The status page shows green but we cannot reach anything

Hello. I’m working on a project for school and for some reason I can’t type or change a word in Figma. Can somebody please help me out! I really need this for school! Thank you!!!

An important file from my Drafts suddenly went missing. I have a Starter account and I heard there have been some changes for this type of account, but almost all my draft files are still there, only this specific one is missing and it is an important project. Can you please help me recover it?

I’ve just published a library containing Material Design icons as components in my design file and when I search for any of those components Figma does not find anything. What am I missing? Thank you

Hello!! For the past couple of weeks my team & I have noticed the Figma updates changed and it seems like we can no longer cut/paste components AND retain the link, it makes you restore the component every time. So currently if I move a parent component that’s in 150 places, I have to manually update 150 spots. Anyone else? Should I open a ticket?

One last question before I stop spamming this site with new posts 😭 I’ve been slowly moving away from Google in favor of my own email system but I can’t find a way to swap my Figma email away from Gmail. Is changing it possible? If I could login via an email and password instead with a different email I would like to do that Thanks.

I recently started using FigJam. Once the board has been created, the actions most often performed are zooming in and zooming out and moving within the board. If you have a PC keyboard at hand, these actions are very easy to perform. However, I have found it a bit awkward to perform some of these actions when working with a whiteboard, without a PC near me. The whiteboard works as a large touch screen, so finger gestures (pinch) work to zoom in and zoom out. However, I did not find a convenient way to move (drag) the canvas: using two fingers for example as I do with the touchpad, the software does not seem to know whether I am dragging and moving the canvas or zooming it. It is true that I can use the ‘hand’ button in the toolbar, but it is inconvenient to switch from one tool to another. Do you have any suggestions for making it easy to drag the canvas?

Hi, Does anyone know how to get rid of those? I do not want any suggestion. I have never used the suggestions nor do i care to have it take room in my sidebar… Thank you

When i want to multiselect something to delete it, it is hide… But when i want to hide and click on eye to hide, hides only the layer i click on… one another cringe, fix it

We are trying to test new color combinations using Figma’s color blend mode: Color dodge and Overlay, but running into issues when implementing them on Android. What algorithm Figma uses to make the Color dodge and Overlay blend mode? Anyone knows how to implement them correctly on Android? Thanks!

When i create a component then set it’s constraints to bottom, left & right for example, and then create an instance of that component from the assets panel, the created instance doesn’t inherit the same constraints of it’s parent, it goes back to the default constraints which is top left, can someone help? 😀

Im trying to apply constraints to a main component, but sadly the instance doesn’t inherit. What am I doing wrong?
