Is there a way to test branches of a library file in other design files that are now connected to the Master? I would like to test the cascading of changes in the branch, but there seems to be no other way than make a copy of the Library, publish that as a new library and do a library swap. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone, I wish you all a Happy Monday. I am having an issue, the text that is set up in Photoshop. For example on 140pt, when I apply the same settings in Figma, It appears doubled, much bigger then it seems in photoshop. Can you say to me what is the difference, what is the scale? For example 1:1, 1:2, 1:3…etc Thanks!

Hello Community, I hope your day is going on well! I need a help with this little issue. The png itself is sharp but inside Figma not sharp image. Let me know what should be the solution! Than you and wish you the great rest of the day! Greetings from Belgrade, Nevena

I have been trying to update my plan to the student plan

The company renews the Figma account on a yearly basis. I paid for Professional, but the employee left the company after using it for about 3 months. Another new employee has joined the company, and I would like to ask if there is a way to remove the Professional privileges from the existing employee’s account and grant the privileges to the new employee so that they can continue to use the account.

Hey Figpeeps! Fledging user here 😅. I am unable to fix this bug/issue with increasing type size using shift. Until now, Figma would automagically increase font size by following a type ramp when I pressed Shift + ↑or↓ (for example 16 would to scale up to 24, 36, 48 etc.) After reinstalling the program, this scaling isn’t available. The Shift + ↑or↓ ramps by increments of 10 (16 would go up to 26, 36, 46 and so on) Any idea what’s going on here? Any thoughts & insights are genuinely appreciated. Thank you! 💛

Hi All, I am trying desperately to find a way to get figma to display my projects unit of measurement in Milimeters and/or Centimeters as I am trying to develop brochures which only support physical units. Main issue just getting spacing and font-sizes to be accurate whilst developing without having to leave figma. Is this possible in any way? Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know how to make a header animation like this in Figma? lvmh.com

I Dunno what is happening, but happened very fast. Suddenly, me and the team cannot work anymore. We checked for memory usage, and that is not a problem. I’m afraid the problem is on the libraries itself, because even if I create a new file, the performance is so problematic it is impossible to work. I cannot strech a component that the computer just freezes for sometimes over 30 seconds. I have the latest macbook pro m3, so that isnt an issue. I really need someone from Figma to check my case asap cause it has become impossible to work and we’re missing deadlines because of this.

Hello I am new to Figma and I cannot seem to access the Educational Plan as I am required to for the course I am enrolled into. I am in University and can’t really seem to reach for help much in the contacts option.

I have several files created in Photoshop and exported to Zeplin for development. My team decided to migrate to Figma, so I’m trying to bring everything here so we can keep history. I’ve tried to upload a PSD file and it seems that it’s not supported by Figma, and I couldn’t find anything related to Zeplin. Please, if there is a way, any way, how can I bring my files to Figma?

Hi, I had a course about Figma and our mentor told I can just copy PNG from my Photoshop file and paste in Figma on my Mac (cmnd C/ cmnd V)but it is not working on my iMac and my MacBook ( Is there any tricks? Pls help me, I just studying Figma

Newbie, only a week in. Be gentle. Nomenclature may be off. Trying to create 1/3-2/3 column layout. Can not figure out how to both make text responsive properly constrained within the grid, and keep sections from bleeding into the following section. The first seems to require constraints (available with frames, but not with autolayout). Second seems to require the “hug” feature (available with autolayout, but not frames). I’ve spent hours nesting every combo I can think of, to no avail. Am I missing something? Am I expecting too much? See attached screenshot for illustration. The 3rd option is certainly ‘close enough’, but for learning purposes, I’d like to understand how to do this.

In the video linked here, I demonstrate an issue with a component instance containing multiple nested child components. When swapping out these nested components for new ones, I’ve noticed that some properties from the previous components, such as fill and padding, are being preserved. This behavior appears inconsistent, as it only affects certain instances. One point not covered in the video is that all of my instances use auto-layout, yet they still retain properties from the previous components after the swap. A similar issue is seen in this thread. Is there something I could be doing wrong or is this just a really bad bug?

TLDR: When I swap my slot component with a button, the text layer color inside my slot is applied as a preserved override as a fill to my button label container, which is using a typography component. My team created a stack component to mirror MUI layout properties for custom content projection. The stack is essential a group of slots, which are placeholder components, so we can instance swap one to many slots in a stack without detaching component instances, like the content inside a card or dialog (could be buttons, text, or form controls). E.g. here’s a stack with two slots inside. Each slot contains a text layer, which isn’t meant to do anything other than signify this is a placeholder component meant to be instance swapped. But when I instance swap a slot with a button, I end up with this. The purple text from the slot is being preserved as a fill on the frame for our typography component, which is not what we want. Since the slot is just a placeholder, we want the actual compone

When the slide template is in the edit mode, the Unpublished changes banner covers the ruler making it unusable.

Hello everyone, I have been using the website version of Figma for a while, and there was an issue with the fonts. The same fonts that were working a few days ago are not working now. But the main thing is that the same font is working with the Desktop app. When I log in from both the Website and Desktop app, downloaded fonts work properly in the Desktop App version whereas it doesn’t work on the Website once.

Figma breaks the font width. Why does it happen? When you click on the font itself, it becomes wider. The file was created a day ago, new fonts were not installed or downloaded.
