I bought Figma professional 2 days back and paid for 1 year, and I moved my past projects to the teams. Today I got email saying there are 25 user seat got upgraded. How can they not inform me in advance about it. I removed access of all of them immediately. I don’t know how can Figma be so unprofessional , or rather using their market monopolist to cheat on us. I am not going to pay 25*$15 = $375.

Can’t open my file. Figma shows File not found (404). However I know that we haven’t deleted it. What can we do?

I’m trying to match Gmail’s bright blue action button color using Material 3, specifically as the P-40 shade in the generated palette. I’ve tried colors like #4285F4 and #6AB7FF, but the P-40 shade isn’t light enough or still looks too saturated. How can I adjust the base color to achieve a light, vibrant blue like Gmail’s button color at the P-40 level?

Hi! I am currently building my portfolio in Figma Slides. I’ve found my way to include a basic navigation, adding buttons with links to different slides.

I am in the process of designing an automatic timer but the when I am prototyping the Interactions panel doesn’t display the conditional settings.

I’ve added two people as viewers to a project. One of the people has the “Shared Projects” section in the sidebar, but the other does not. Any way to get that to be visible? This is a thread talking about getting rid of it. How do you get it to be visible?

Currently, Figma’s Plugin API provides extensive capabilities for creating, updating, and managing design tokens through variables. However, there is no direct method to programmatically sort these variables within the Variables panel. The ability to sort variables is crucial for maintaining organized and easily navigable collections, especially as the number of variables grows in complex design systems. While styles in Figma offer a moveLocal*After method that allows developers to reorder them programmatically, there is no equivalent functionality for variables. Implementing this feature would greatly enhance the utility of the Plugin API, aligning it with existing features available for styles and improving workflow automation for developers and designers alike. Proposed Feature API Method: Introduce a method similar to moveLocal*After for variables, such as moveVariableAfter(variableId: string, afterVariableId: string): void. Functionality: This method would allow developers to pro

Hi Everyone, So I have been cooking my brain over how to make this component work for my client and I finally managed to get it to a state where the hover state for an entire row is activated. I managed this by aliasing a text variable that aligned with the variant states on my table cell atom components. (See image below) I then auto layout these atoms together to give me table columns with the ability to hide and show to give less/more rows as required. The problem I am having is when I test this out in a prototype, the cell resets to the default value rather than keeping its text property override. You can see from the video below that when I hover on the specific cell, it does keep the text property but when I hover on a different cell type (Number or Checkbox in the example) it resets to the default value. Any and all help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

I made a presentation, and added the prototype but when I want to view the presentation it is extremely zoomed in and I can’t see everything within the frame. I think my frame is for an iPhone 14 and the prototype is selected for that device as well, I tried with no device and the zoom is still. If someone knows how to fix it let me know please. huge.

Hello 👋 I have a component that I want to get rid of, but I can’t go to the main component! I searched through the Figma search engine in the file where it should be, but clicked on “go to main component” and I couldn’t find it. When I click on “go to main component” I am redirected to my design system page (where it should be) but it does not tell me the location of the component in question. I did cmd + A to select everything and deleted everything (maybe it was hidden somewhere) but the same. Thank you in advance for your help ps: obviously I have all the rights to the 2 files, the component is custom created from A to Z by myself

Is anyone getting a “You have been logged out of Figma…” notice? Just started happening 5 minutes ago while editing text in a Figma file. The entire message reads: Changes cannot be saves You have been logged out of Figma so your changes cannot be saved at the moment. To save your changes, you can either copy and paste the content to a new file or choose “Save As .fig” from the “File” menu. Who is able to log me out of enterprise-Figma? Thx.

Please seI am a newly registered user, how do I restore to the old version? I don’t know this software at all and need to take online paid courses. After spending money, I found that all online paid courses were old versions. The new version cannot cope with it, It is very painful to learn, and it is often difficult to find the objects explained in the video. Just looking for these buttons takes more time than studying. But I can’t find a newer version of the course either. Please help me!

I am developing a plugin for Figma, and I have been trying to modify the default font family that the UI uses by default, however, any attempt to force a custom font via CSS did not work. I am starting to wonder if this is really possible. So for trying to change the font family, in the ui.html file, in the section, I have something like the code below. I have my font file in a folder named “fonts” inside the plugin folder. @font-face { font-family: 'myExampleFont-Regular'; src: url('./fonts/myExampleFont-Regular.otf'); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; } .someSpanClassElement{ ....bla bla bla... font-family: 'myExampleFont-Regular'; } Any tips, or confirmation that changing plugin UI font-family is not possible will be much appreciated.
