Hi, I’m trying to re-verify my educational plan for the account I have now, which is created with my google account (I have had the education plan here for 4 years already), since I still have one more year left of my studies. I’m not allowed to get my account re-verified because my e-mail is “not a student mail”. This is a very new constraint from implemented by Figma. Since they have not had this constraint for the education plan earlier, I have always used google account. That’s why I now have all my university projects, and all my internship projects as part of my university degree in this account. It will be a huge problem and struggle for me to transfer all of it to a new account (official student mail account) because there are so many, and I will have to get so many people who have shared files with me to re-invite me individually to all the files. I will also continue some of my projects after my studies, which would mean I would have to re-transfer them all back to my google

I get error : Request failed with status code 401 when I try to run bibbble plugin. I reauthorized and restarted Figma, but this error still occurs.

Hi, Since I don’t find any means to communicate. I’ll do so this way. In Gmail, I get notified on a new billing period. On 6 April, I get notified on a new billing period for 3 users. Actually, only 1 user needs the project. So I removed 2 users I shared the project with after searching around across the entire account to downgrade my subscription without success. Now, I’m doing my monthly admin and notice that Figma charged for 3 users instead of 1. There are 3 things: make sure that for the next billing period, I’m only charged for 1 user how will Figma compensate can you give a clear direction on how to adjust this so when my project is terminated, I can cancel the billing? Thank you

I used GPT-4o to translate this text from Korean to English, so the sentences may not be smooth. I have a troublesome issue with ‘Figma Slides’. My monitor resolution is 4K (3840x2160), but the layer size is fixed at 1920x1080, so when I run ‘Present’ in ‘full screen’, the display does not fill the entire screen. When I run ‘present+notes’, it goes full screen regardless of the resolution, but I do not use that feature. I would like the presentation to fill the screen regardless of the monitor resolution, similar to ‘Microsoft PowerPoint’s’ ‘Slideshow’ mode. I request a quick response and improvement.

Hi all! I have been trying to create a auto layout ribbon component like the below for way to long: Can someone please help me out and explain to me what im doing wrong. I have found this and followed it but had no luck: Complex Button variant and properties Thank you in advance!

Hello, This is a screenshot taken from macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 using the native iOS Simulator This is what happens as soon as I upload it to Figma, the alteration remains also after exporting it The difference is pretty consistent, the alternation is clearly visible and this is a huge issue for us. Has anyone ever encountered and fixed this issue? Is Figma working on this issue? I guess we are not the only people working on iOS Apps, we are doing pretty standard and simple steps, taking a screenshot and then uploading it to Figma. Hopefully the issue can be prioritised on your side Using Figma Web from Safari 17.6 Thanks!

Any idea what’s up?

I have created two variant collections, the first includes all the core brand Colours, the second contains all the colour tokens. I want to move the colour tokens collection to make it become a group under “Colours”, but I can’t “move” it and I can’t find options for that. Does anybody knows?

There is a line above the text. I did not add it and I do not know how to remove it. I am new to using Figma. Can you help me?

I Have used the default android frame size in Figma and developed a prototype. But when I used my design in a mobile mockup template, the design became cropped. As a newbie here, so I have no idea what to do. I’m curious about what most designers do when creating mobile mockups for their Behance or portfolio profiles.

I want a tool which can transcribe my purchase orders and consequently create PDF invoices

If there is already a way to either turn off spellcheck, or to tell a FigJam file that I am working in a different language, or if that could be introduced, that would be great. I’m a new user and a Spanish teacher, and I am loving starting to use FigJam in my classroom, but it’s a bummer that most words are underlined in red!

I mean regular clipboard functionality to PluginAPI? I cant find good way to copy my complex data. I tried to access navigator throug ui and add complex data. Anfortunatly Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘writeText’) 😦

I was working on a board when Figma notified me I was not able to access the board anymore, I can also not find it logged in with another profile. It’s not in my removed files either. I need the board for work purposes, it contains a lot of information.

I recently received an invitation from a companyy for a UX/UI Designer position. Initially, I was asked to review their product and address some existing issues. I created a Figma file with my designs and shared my ideas with the company during a meet call. However, when I tried to access the file later, I received the following error message: “You can’t access this resource. Contact the owner, an admin, or support for assistance.” Can anyone explain what happen here 😩😳? Thank you.

Hi, I’m pretty new to Figma and need some help please. 🙏 I’m trying to create a prototype that has multiple checkboxes independently relating to different areas/regions that if when a “view” button is clicked all of those that are checked/true show and those that aren’t hide. I have set up all checkboxes as true, and have given each a separate name. I have also added conditionals to the view button that’s -onclick if “xxx” checkbox is true,set variable show “xxx” region to true else set variable “”region” to false. Hope that’s all clear to understand. Any advice? Thanks

Have a number of ‘orphan’ instances that seem to have no main component. No option to “go to main component”. No option to “restore main component”. The only other post I found that’s similar was solved by using the 'right-click/Main Component/go to main component" feature but that is not in my menu options for this handful of components only. Unfortunately breaking and recreating them would cause some chaos in a number of other files. Is this a bug?

all the frame97 navigate to number/start/end use drag and animate like the picture i test it, some time can drag like horizontal some thing one by one start to end, then i test from end to start it just can drag one by one When the first image is high than 50%(width) to next image, lower than previous it

I have a creative platform B which has its own file format. I am converting the selected frames and converting them to that format. The question is how can I export that object using the plugin API? Because there’s no access to node fs library in the plugin environment either as Figma runs on the browser aswell

Hello, I am a high school student living in Korea. When I click the submit button to apply for an educational qualification, it says verification failed. I obviously logged in with my school’s email address, but why did it fail?

We are currently using the Figma Embed Kit 2.0 to include interactive prototypes in our application. To facilitate communication via the postMessage API, we need to specify the origin (app.superops.com). However, our application allows users to configure custom portal URLs (e.g., anything.subdomain.com), which makes it difficult to specify a static origin in the OAuth app.

Is anyone else facing an issue where changes made to a main component in one file are not reflected in its instance when copied to another file? Even after selecting “Reset all changes” in the instance, the updates to the main component don’t seem to apply. Would appreciate any insights or solutions!

Hi! I’m copy-pasting a prototype link in the slides but it is being displayed. It hasn’t happened before in the previous slides, but in the new ones, it’s consistent behavior. After copy-pasting the prototype link in the slide, I can see its details in the panel on the right side. However, the prototype itself doesn’t show up in the slide.

I haven’t accessed a file for 14 days, and it was automatically deleted. I found it near drafts , but it looks like it was deleted 3 days ago. By whom? The same thing happened to my entire team, diff. files
