We are in Professional Team tier. My colleague registered and purchased 2 seats. After that he started learning the administration. He invited 3 more users for testing and we started understanding how viewer, viewer restricted and full seats work. These extra 3 users were active for some minutes and then they will be either deleted or set back to viewer resticted mode. If it stays this way till the end of the month, how many seats will we pay? 4? 1? 2?

The original dropdown does not work, nothing can be clicked there. You can click on the one in the top left corner… only with enter.

I know there’s a visible property that tells you if the node itself is visible or hidden, but one or more parents could be hidden while the actual node is visible, so visible would be true on the actual node. Is there an easy way to see if a node is truly visible, because all of its parents are visible? Would prefer not to traverse the node tree, as this seems inefficient. Visible property: visible | Plugin API

I am looking to share a file publicly so that an external client and their team members can jump in and edit the design without being included in my Figma team. They have their own Figma accounts and I don’t want to add them to my team, however the only way that seems to work is that they are added as a member with the ability to edit one file, even with “Anybody can edit” set in the sharing settings of the file. If they are not in the team then they are presented with a warning that they need to be upgraded, am I doing something wrong here?

In the Figma app, when we use the new feature of pan on right-click while a plugin is opened, it stops working until we switch tabs or right-click on the canvas. I don’t know if it is counted as a bug, but it should be fixed asap!

So I have designed in Figma whole site and it works, its simple with pictures gif and couple buttons, simple transitions. Can I upload that on web directly from Figma? Or do I have to send to something like Framer or webflow etc. When I send it to framer I have to establish again button connections links and every connection/interaction I already done in Figma… solution build again in Framer?

Has anyone else encountered this today? Check my screenshot (Font - Inter 18 SB) Can’t find any topic. Or am i just crazy and this issue was here before

If i set the color of an Arrow to red and the set this as the “default properties” in the main menu → Edit → Set Default Properties, then all new arrows draw will be red, which is great. However, if I close the session and re-open the figma, the default properties are lost and the default black arrow is drawn for all new arrows… Is this a bug, or am i missing something in order to maintain the default properties between sessions?

Hi. I have a design across multiple pages. Say, I want to copy group buttons made from multiple rectangles and text on top of those rectangles from Page1 to Page2, but sometimes only text get copied if lucky. For some reason group cannot be copied. I am 100% sure this was possible before, because that is how I done my design about half a year back. Now I would like to amend it, but doesn’t work. Thank you.

Should news articles be individual components in the component library or should they be grouped as a collection of articles in a single component? Here’s an example of what I have now:

I want to move layers / content further away In the old UI, when I moved the content to the sidebar, the canvas already started scrolling, but in the new UI, below the sidebar is the canvas, which means that I have to move the content to the edge of the screen before the canvas scrolls. This is a little more troublesome than before. My idea: Start scrolling the canvas when a cursor / drag point is detected to the sidebar, or retract the sidebar to the edge of the screen when a drag object is detected

Hello Figma community, I need your help 🙂 My workflow consist on: 1 page called “workspace” where I make my designs. 1 page called presentations, where I paste the last version of the design, use it for my design walkthroughs with stakeholders and this where the prototype link I share with stakeholders lives, so they can provide their feedback using comments. Currently I’m facing the following problem with the workflow: I take stakeholder feedback and apply it to the designs under “workspace”. Once I’m done, I delete the old version under “presentations” and paste the updated designs there. This causes that the prototype link I shared with stakeholder stop working. What I would like is to achieve is: have 2 spaces, one for my work, other to share with stakeholders so they can provide feedback. It might be that stakeholders aren’t done providing feedback, so I need a different place to start working (workspace) so I’m not blocked. I want to provide just once prototype link

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?
