Can't turn a component set to a single component

Hi! I’m making an update to a component within the design system of my company. The component is a simple tab with 4 variants and it has to become a single component with no variants, because it has to be a tab-group with nested tab-atom component inside. Basically I want to design an atom component with variants (.tab) to put in the tab-group new component, because I don’t need the single tab anymore. To optimize the process, I tried not to create a new component named tab-group, instead I wanted to create the new atom component and update the actual tab component. Once I deleted the variants of the tab component, and only one is left (the one that has to become the tab group) The component is yet a set with 1 variant. Is there one way to solve this??

Organização do Figma

Bom dia! Foi solicitado no meu estagio que eu fizesse apenas 1 projeto totalmente interativo de um site inteiro (que é bem grande) no Figma, e gostaria de perguntar a voces se alguem ja fez algo parecido e/ou acham viavel? Atualemnte eu divido cada “aba” em uma pasta separada, o que me ajuda e ajuda o desenvolvedor tb, a ter acesso a somente aquela informação. Está ficando bem pesado de carregar e, devido a quantidade de interaçoes, confuso de visualizar tambem.

Replacing text and images in bulk

I have over 40 web banners and I want to swap out and replace with a new image. How can I do this without having to do it one at a time? The same apply’s with text. Can I update text on one frame and have it applied to all the other banners?

Component won't show up in the prototype

Hi! I’m try to create a prototype that includes a dropdown. When I click the dropdown button in one frame, the dropdown is supposed to be open in the next frame (which is how it’s designed). However, the component for the open dropdown is not showing up in prototype view, despite being part of the second frame. It’s the config prototype view component that’s not showing up in the prototype. Any ideas why it’s not showing up and how I can fix this?

Anyone else having elements in Figma glitching and wiggling

I am using the desktop application on a Mac and I noticed that some elements will wiggle and glitch as of today. I recorded a video of what I am seeing. It also seems to delete text and I have to enter it multiple times. I have tried restarting the app and my computer but still happening. I also asked team members to see if it is happening on their end and they are seeing what I am seeing. Last part that seemed to have started today is when I try to exit out it is saying “I have unsaved changes”. I thought it might be a memory issue, but it says I am only using 12% of my available memory. Video of issue

Components strange behavior

Hi everyone, this is happening since a few weeks now, idk why my components or the elements inside the components (ex. icons) look bigger than they should, but when I select the element it automatically reset to the right position. Then I close Figma, and when I go back to work, the components are broken again. Broken: (I would like to show the correct form of this buttons and other examples but Im a new user in this forum and I can post only one pic) Could you help me fix this? Thanks in advance.

When do Figma embeds update?

Hello! Was curious on when Figma embeds refresh or update if something was changed in the embedded file preview shown. It’s more of to manage expectations from stakeholders, so I know if I should tell them “just refresh the page and the live embed of the file will be updated to the latest!” or “Figma embeds update every 24 hours” or something. 😅 I’m assuming refreshing the page will also refresh the file shown in the Figma embed, but I’m just curious if there was any other thing we had to watch out for. Thanks!

Figma sees ( " ) quotes as double ( ' ) apostrophe

Hello Whenever I run a Find/Replace to remove some quotes ( " ), Figma identifies and removes apostrophes ( ’ ). And vice-versa. It doesn’t make sense as each character have its distinct ASCII code. Or am I doing something wrong here?

How Can I Simulate a Drag-to Path Effect in Figma Prototypes?

Hello Figma Community, I am working on a mobile app interface and looking to simulate a specific interaction in my prototype. As depicted in the attached screenshot, the app allows users to drag their finger from one cell to another, with the chosen path being highlighted by a red line. The interaction starts at a cell marked with a solid dot (the starting point) and concludes at a cell marked with an empty dot (the current finger position). I am striving to recreate this dynamic effect in Figma, where the path dynamically forms as the user drags their finger across the screen. Could anyone share insights or methods on how to best implement this? Specifically, I am interested in: Techniques to make the path (red line) appear as the user drags across the cells. Best practices for ensuring the prototype behaves responsively with this interaction. Any plugins or third-party tools that could facilitate this effect. Your guidance and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in

Variant addition breaks component

I have designed a menu bar, and once I make a variant of it or an instance of it it breaks the auto layout of the frame so the different frames within it don’t resize as one reopens. Picture 2. is the main component inside a frame and picture 1. is a instance of that main component. Same issue happens if I create a variant but still insert the main component. I want the component to work as the main component does in picture 2. Any feedback or help is appreciated!

Mobile Prototyping "Fit" scaling does not work

I’d really appreciate some help here, can’t get mobile prototyping to work in the way I’d expect. I am prototyping an app with a bottom anchored toolbar. As such, “Fit” type settings are critical to avoid users from missing these buttons. However, any combination of settings I try in prototyping (Fit, fill, presentation, different preset phone frames) do not actually fit my prototype within phones of varying sizes. Here’s an image of what I’d expect would happen. I’d expect a fixed ratio and I’d get black bars on the sides. This is pretty much how desktop prototypes show - they work on any screen size because the frame is fixed and fits to any window size, with black bars added as needed. Any help is really appreciated here. I don’t get how mobile prototypes could not support “Fit” in the way I’m describing, as that’d make testing anything with bottom-anchored toolbars/buttons much more unreliable based on phone size. Thanks for any input!

Can you "reattach" a link starting point that's been deleted?

So I have a prototype, that’s been sent out. A week after its been sent out, that starting point has been deleted. So now, when someone opens the link, it opens a black blank screen. Is it possible to “re-attach” this link to another screen, that way, its at least not opening a blank black screen? I know that you can move the actual starting point (that blue “tab”). But can I reattach or assign a link to a blue tab/starting point or a frame? Or any way that blank screen can be forward to another screen, so that its not blank blank screen?

Toolbar doesn't stay fixed in a frame that is a component

I created a screen that has a fixed toolbar at the bottom of the frame. When I play the prototype, it works fine, and the toolbar stays fixed where it’s supposed to. However, when I turn this screen into a component, the bar is no longer fixed, and the option to keep the toolbar fixed is disabled. Has anyone experienced this and could help me, please?
