Two questions about Figma Slides: Is it possible to import Figma Design Library? If yes how? Is it possible to create/edit/delete colour styles? I’m unable to delete any of the custom styles even if I have no elements in this colour anymore?

I am a user who has been using Figma for 4 years. I come from Hong Kong and shared my first resource on the community 3 months ago. I want to sell my files and plugins in the community, but I couldn’t find the price option on the ‘Publish Files’ page. I hope this problem can be resolved. I love sharing because it can make the community active and spread knowledge to help everyone. I also respect intellectual property rights, so I hope to sell original and unique design files to the community, so that people can see their value, respect design creation, and enhance my motivation to share. If permission can be granted, I am willing to become a community seller. If you can contact me to grant permission, I will increase the number of shared files and recommend Figma to more. Thank you very much.

I have been experiencing some challenges with the recent updates to the FigJam Connectors within Figma.  Previously, I was able to select connection points on a frame, such as top, bottom, left, or right.  However, the recent update has altered the UI, making the connection points smaller and removing the ability to manually select them. Now, the system automatically assigns the connection points, and users cannot manually choose their preferred points.  This change has significantly disrupted my workflow as all my Figma projects rely heavily on the FigJam Connectors. I kindly request that you consider reverting this feature to its previous functionality to maintain usability and efficiency in our design processes.

If I update the original main component after setting a prototype for a component, all the animations etc. set in the prototype will disappear. Could you please tell me the solution? Example: Let’s say I was creating a modal component. Let’s say I have a complicated setting where when I tap a button, a message saying “Sending completed” appears, and then I return to the top screen. Then I resized and updated the buttons in the main component of the modal. Then all the settings I had made up to that point are gone and I have to start over again.

The rules are essentially unusable, they don’t measure or snap to anything.

@dvaliao @Celine_Figma I created a new account for my friend, and it doesn’t have a “( ? )” in the lower right-hand corner. My branding instructions for my small non-profit project are to use the old interface. It’s very important to me to get it back. We’ll be moving to the new design later, but it takes time. I tried to find it “back to old” on Ctrl+K, but it doesn’t work too

I have looked and search everywhere and haven’t found the answer yet… I’m new to Figma and I’m still learning my way around it. therefore I have been following a lot of tutorial and every single one have a different setup in their design workspace compared to mine. How do I change it, so I have the same setup? (mine is the white)

Greetings and respect We have been facing problems in our team for a long time because we can’t work with the new features of Figma despite the payment we are making and we are getting a yellow error. Please follow up, I didn’t expect it to take so long!

I’ve got a library file that I’m pulling components from for the rest of my design files. Recently when I update components on that file and publish the library, the instances on the other files don’t update. Moreover, when I copy & paste the new version of the components into the design files, Figma suggest to update them to the old version of the component 😵 What’s happening?

After installing window 11 there are these flashes in the desktop app of Figma. With time they can calm down, but then they can start again. In the browser everything works fine. Also no flashes when Figma is open on any of the other connected monitors. And when there is a recording of the screen - also no flashes. What could be the problem? All possible drivers are updated. All other applications work correctly, the problem is only with the desktop Figma. Reinstalling Figma doesn’t help

Hello. Tell me how can I disable the beta version and return to the previous interface?h for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search?

Even if I set a prototype on a component, the settings disappear when I edit the original main component. How do I resolve this issue? Or is it a bug in Figma? It would be helpful if you could tell me. Example: If I tap a button on a dialog component, a toast message saying “Sending completed” will appear, and then the screen will return to the list screen. Suppose I then go to the main component of the dialog, change the size of the button, and update it. Then, all the settings I had set earlier, such as the toast settings and the transition to the list screen, disappeared and I had to start over.

I’m creating a large prototype that involves a collapsable side bar nav. The side bar nav is pretty straight forward and expands when mouse enters, and when mouse leaves. I’ve made the nav bar a component with clickable menu items inside. These clickable items in the nav bar are components with hover effects. All nav menu items work except 1, for some reason when clicked, just the hover state stays in effect and the ‘Navigate to’ doesn’t register. Here is what that menu item looks like in the layers panel: Not sure what else to do as I’ve changed the component name multiple times, deleted the interaction and re applied over and over again. All other menu items work except for this one. Is this a bug? Do I have too many screens prototyped? Not sure what else to do.

I have built a prototype of a Timer and when I start the timer it begins to count upward. When I hit pause it goes back to zero. However when I hit start the second time it starts where it left off (5 sec) rather than starting at zero. Any suggestions?

I’m naming my radius variables. we decided to use t-shirt sizing for names e.g. radius-medium, radius-large, radius-xlarge etc. Now let’s say in the future I want to introduce a new value between large and xlarge. How would that happen??

Hi everyone, I’m new to Figma and I’m encountering a problem with an SVG file I imported from Canva. Some of the circles in my project appear to be cut off and are no longer complete circles. Although Figma recognizes these shapes as circles, I’m unable to fill in the missing parts with color. Interestingly, some of the circles are displayed correctly and are complete. Here’s what I’m seeing: This is how some of the circles look in Figma. Here you can see Figma recognizes the circles. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue or work around it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Can i use figma for logo designing & graphics designing

The font is installed, Font installer is installed. Neither the browser nor the program displays the new installed font, although the ones I installed earlier appear. They seem to appear over time. I don’t understand what the problem is, I haven’t tried reinstalling the program yet, but I’m not sure that this will help. BTW, other programs can see installed fonts just fine

Hi! I’am very much a rookie when it comes to Figma prototypes. I am making an interactive e learning presentation for my client. Whole benchmark is there: (as a new user I can not upload a video of interactions) If you want to see the benchmark you have type in e-mail address and click the arrow to proceed. https://mgr.farm/sinecod/ What I struggle the most are few of the interactions. My questions: Interaction 1 - What the client is supposed to do is to drag and drop answers in right places in the table. Then the client needs the option to check which of the selected answers are correct and make changes if necessary. Also the button to proceed further should be clickable only when all of the answers will be connected. How to make that interaction possible? Interaction 2 - What the client is supposed to do is to fill the gaps in text using dropdown menu and picking the right answer. I have already made a dropdown component but it has one glaring issue. I does show the complete list of

If you delete a main component or variant, an instance of it in the document will remain, but the only way to find it is to select it and see the “Restore Component” or “Missing variant” in the right panel. Is there any way to list or explore the main component or its instances that are lost throughout the document or page? I am the developer of the Figma Plugin, so any method utilizing the Figma API would be fine. Thank you in advance.

Hi, a little help please. I have 9 buttons. Each button label is for a different game mechanic (e.g., badges, levels, missions). I also have 9 definitions, one for each game mechanic. When a user clicks on a button I want the definition to appear to the right. Each definition should appear in the same place for continuity. The default could be the ‘points’ definition displayed. Or, it could be a white frame with the text ‘click on a button to display the definition.’ Could someone please provide a step-by-step for this interaction? Thank you very much!

Hello Figma Community, I’m working on a table with 8 rows, where each row has 4 columns: Request Number, Contact Name, Subject, and Status. The Status column includes a dropdown menu component with variants (Inactive, Active, Hover, and Selected). When I trigger the dropdown, the row’s height increases (since it’s set to hug content), and the dropdown menu doesn’t overlay the rows below as I need—it stays within the row, pushing content down. I’ve tried the “Canvas stacking” solution, but it didn’t resolve the issue. How can I make the dropdown overlay properly without affecting the layout? Any professional tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I created a button with two variants. I added this button to a content container. and added this content container to my desktop screen. I changed the text of the button in the content container I added to my desktop screen. then when I added this content container to my mobile screen, the text of the button did not change. What am I doing wrong? Why isn’t the text of the button being moved? Screenshot Video is below 👇 buttontext

I don’t know why my Figma is not upgrade until now!!!
