I cannot find info on this anywhere in Figma’s documentation or by searching online. I’m just trying to find out what it does.

In the existing Figma, when in developer mode, the padding value was visible on hover, but now spacing/smd, spacing/md, etc. are visible even when hovering. Can I change the settings so that the spacing is immediately visible when the mouse is hovered like before?

Hi. How do you select a section of items to export. I know you have to right click and choose ‘group selection’, however how do you highlight a specific section to export?

I am trying to add headers in the table attached below. The problem is the headers are not being left-aligned in the sense that if a header name is long, it goes to the left. The expected behaviour is the long header name should take up the empty space on the right. The header row is still an instance of the “Row Component”. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am struggling to find and download the main Figma app in the App Store. I have MacOS v14 and believe that is updated enough to be accessing the app. Right now I am just using the Beta App, but would love to access the regular app soon too. Any tips or suggestions on this? Let me know, thanks!

Can’t switch to professional with student plan Dear Support, I created an account today and signed up as a student, and my education plan was confirmed. When I checked, it says I got the starter plan, but I needed the professional for my Google Coursera UX design course. I clicked “upgrade to professional” and indicated that I am a student multiple times, but it keeps showing that starter is my current plan. I tried to approach Support, but was redirected by them to the Help Center. Could you please check what is wrong with my access? Thank you in advance, Ekaterina

I’ve a professional account and I’m part of the team as editor. All the team members have the same permission (edit mode) and they can directly edit the projects, except me that I can view files but I must send request. What’s the problem? What should we change to make me editor for all the team’s projects?

can you as soon as possible give me beta update in my account ?

I have the latest Figma app version for windows 124.3.2 but the sidebar is different from my team. Why?

When will the floating tool windows feature appear (e.g. the layers panel - which is now limited in width and hides nested layers). Or when will it be possible to work on two screens so that the screen is divided into the working and tools?

Is there any way we can use API Token for authenticating the activity logs API in Figma documentation?. It states that it can only be used for OAuth authentication. Could we use an API Token like other APIs with the scopes instead?

Hello everyone! My team is trying to get an Enterprise plan, we have written to the sales team many times, but have not received a response (it has probably been more than six months). We also tried to try it through support, but they just send them a corporate e-mail and it doesn’t bring any result. Maybe someone has encountered this and knows the solution to the problem and ways to contact the sales team?

We have editor licence for 4 people and the developers have only view access. When new access request is approved it consider it as editor by default. Figma did not ask for any confirmation either to give edit or view only access. Due to which the editor count has increased to 9 and it was billed. when they are removed from editor, it still shows monthly billed users are 5. How to remove the editor count now? we are not able to reduce the editor count now and we have been billed $75 now. Looking forward for a suggestion or recommendation how to remove the user from billing.

Folks I shared the prototype with cannot leave a comment. The field pops up and then just disappears after a few seconds or it moves to another part of the screen.

How to solve the problem of exporting svg fonts in Figma. I exported the font in svg format but the font was cut off in certain parts when I imported it into another editing software.

Hi, I wanted to find out what the cost of a Figma Enterprise license would be. Let’s say we had an Enterprise license and there were 5 organizations attached, each with 2 editors. What would be the monthly cost? My assumption is: 1x $75 for the Enterprise license 5x $45 for the organizations 10 x $15 for the editors That would be $450 per month Is that correct? Thanks

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to import a component library and then create new variable colors and set those new colors as the default color to the components from the library. Just to save time, so I dont have to change each elements color to fit my clients need

Hey people. I’m wondering if you faced the same problem because in some components I cannot have access to min and max sizes and Figma only shows the Variables as option.

Hi, if the user of my plugin uploads the .ttf file, is there a way to load that font for the plugin ? I think i read something like that somewhere but i can’t find the information back, and the doc only mention about passing fontName as an argument. Thanks in advance.

Hi The jamboard pages that originally have a jpeg as background have a white background when imported. Can anyone help?

I have a Figma student account linked to my personal Google account, which I’ve been using since 2021. Every time I renewed the account, there were no issues. However, for this renewal, it states that I can only use my school email. While I could switch to my school email, the problem is that I have a few hundred files on my Google Figma account that I want to keep. Additionally, I want all my files to remain on my personal Google account so that I can retain access to them after my academic career is over. I think my school email will be removed when I graduate. Is there any possible way to keep my Google account as a student account?

I’ve been working on precision drawings recently and noticed an issue with the Ellipse tool not drawing perfect circles. I first realized this when I imported an SVG of a precise circle created using an elliptical arc. To confirm which circle was accurate, I drew the same circle in GeoGebra, verifying that the Ellipse tool did not produce precise circles. Imported SVG circle: M 0 0 A 2740 2740 0 0 0 0 5480 A 2740 2740 0 0 0 0 0 (Vector in the image) SVG export result:
