Weird bug - I just entered to a new company and I can’t edit a lot of projects even having a Admin’s permission

Figma design file not loading.

I am trying to wrap my head around on how to add typography variables to different breakpoints so that components are linked to a screen-size variable. I have only seen videos of one size fits all typography variables, ie: Headline will always be used as 46px for Desktop and 12px for Mobile. But, what happens if there are different values for XL, L, M and S breakpoints and it depends in each and every component? ie: a blog page can have Headline 46px on XL but an embedded inline banner can have a Headline 12px for the same XL breakpoint. Thank you for your time!

I’ve lost access to my organization account. My credit card expired. Now I can’t access my account. I already opened a ticket on support (#961612) but didn’t get any reply. I want to add a new card and restore my account. Please, help me. I’m really worried.

Hey guys, I really hope you can help me out because I couldn’t find any youtube tutorials on this topic. So basically I am designing a video editing software but I do struggle with interactions between variants within a screen. So for example: I have a button (Mark in), when I click this button I want to be able to go a bit above inside the same screen into a video/pic and set a marker there, then I want to be able to click a second button (mark out) and drag and drop this particular part of the video (or picture) into another variant inside the same screen. How do I achieve this? Thanks so much in advance, really hope someone can explain. Mi_na

In my design system, I have one Figma library. There are 150 icons as components inside. Their instances appear across many components (e.g., buttons). Now, I have to replace the set with 150 new icons with the same name and size. I’ve imported the new components, so now I have: icon/arrow iconNew/arrow Then I tried “swap instance” on the component level (e.g., button): icon/arrow → iconNew/arrow But this is very time-consuming since I have 30 button types. And there are other components with icons as well (chips, cards…) What is your workaround to speed up the workflow? Can I swap them all at once somehow? Any plugin doing that bulk stuff?

Hi, I have an input component, basically a text frame with auto layout, some padding and a stroke and some border radius — and then some variants with trailing icon etc. but in the instances of the component I want to be able to drag to resize the width of it and for some reason I can’t seem to get that part right. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot 🙏

Hi forum, I am new to Figma and have been using it for just a couple of weeks now. I have watched tutorials on YouTube to get familiarized with how it works. I am using the Figma app on a MacBook Pro M1 and I am wondering if I should use it in the browser instead. I have noticed that a small detail of Figma’s GUI isn’t showing up for me as they are in the videos I watched. Maybe it could be something that is currently in development and changing on different devices and platforms. I asked the following question on one of Figma’s YouTube tutorials about how components and instances are identified in Figma. Specifically in the canvas. “Why does Figma’s canvas GUI identify a component with the four little diamond icon but it doesn’t identify an instance of that component with the outline diamond? Why are these icons only shown in the layers left side panel? Is there a way to turn on or off these small icon identifiers in the canvas?” This is the link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watc

Hi there. Wes here. With the latest update (Figma Desktop App version 116.18.6 - On Mac) there appears to be an update whereby if you use the alignment tools, they now remain in an ‘active’ state with a blue stroke around each button. This is causing quite an irritation for me as now as it stunts the flow of design as you now have to go back and manually select the same object again in order to manipulate its position. This was so much better previously, please can you fix this. There is no reason why these alignment buttons need to remain active. Thanks in advance, Wes

I’m noticing free badge next to the file names I create, this makes me nervous tbh, will Figma be paid for even for singular (not team) use?

someone shared a Figma link with me and it created an account using my google account. I never use my google account do I’d like to delete that and use an email account. in my account settings, it’s asking for a password, but rejects it (because login via google?) so now I’m stuck with Figma account that uses my email address, but it’s really a google account. how to delete this completely and start over?

Hello! I’m exploring the new feature of using string variables to control things like the font family and weight of my text styles. I was wondering if there is, or if there plans to be a way of scoping variables for font usage (especially string variables, which seem to have no scoping options?) in the same way that we can for other usages? Currently, when I update all of my pre-existing text styles, I’m getting pretty much every variable available in my dropdown, which makes this already monotonous task even monotonous-er! Let me know if I’m missing a trick here 🙂

I’m having trouble seeing my Vertical Resize Cursors in web browsers Arc. Does anyone know how to enable or fix this? Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Checked browser settings for accessibility options. Searched online for solutions but found nothing specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Firefox Arc

Sometimes there are Emojis or CJK Characters in Figma file name. A url with Emojis or CJKs makes so many troubles. Please turn Emojis or CJKs into UTF-8 as before.

I think I will have 3-4 months of stop in design so I don’t want to keep paying Figma but also don’t lose my files. I know that if I don’t pay they will be locked but for how many time? Or just indefinitely until I pay again?

Background: I have a personal and work Figma account. I recently upgraded my personal account from free to Pro. When logging off for the day, i saw a file that I had been working on in my work account had the owner changed to a member of my team. ‘Strange’, i thought, because I had this file in a separate folder and marked it as ‘Only people invited’, so technically they shouldn’t have been able to view the file AT ALL, let alone change ownership. So i reach out to them and turns out they didn’t change anything at all, but I had them send ownership back to me and this is where it gets weird. I didn’t see the avatar before they hit transfer, but SOMEHOW my personal, completely separate Figma account was made owner to a file on my work account. I think, OK that’s weird as Im not apart of this team AT ALL, but i figure I could go into my personal account, simply add my work email as a editor/viewer and then transfer ownership BACK to my work account - NO. There’s no way for me to do this.

Hey team! I am the author of one of the free Figma plugin for Codegen that I created 2 years back. https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1065278044402066626/figgen-html-tailwind-converter I really appreciate that dev mode has landed and given capabilities to run the plugin with view-only mode. I am trying to port my plugin to make it dev mode compliant but I can’t seem to find an option to run dev mode without paying for a subscription. Do we have a way to enable dev mode access for Figma plugin developers?

I have a question about prototyping. In prototyping, there is a BACK function but no FORWARD function. What to do if you need the FORWARD function, for example when you click to go to the next step. Is it always necessary to set it manually even if there are 100 slides in the prototype?

The link to an external website from Prototyping to “Open Link” doesn’t open on the Android Figma app. (On iOS apps, it opens with a browser.) The same goes for links that you set directly to text. It’s stuck on the white screen, is there a fix?

Why does the outline strokes looks different/bad in preview mode? The button position and height/width are snapped to the pixel grid.

Hello everyone, I’m currently facing some difficulties with handling variables and I’ve run out of options. Here’s the scenario: I have three variables, each in a different collection. The first variable is named ‘Category’, and its value depends on another variable called ‘Type,’ which can be either ‘Normal’ or ‘Queue’. When ‘Type’ is set to ‘Normal’, its value is true. When ‘Type’ is ‘Queue’, it references another variable called ‘Waiting Queue’, which defaults to false. Moving forward, I created a base component named ‘base_card’ and another component from ‘base_card’ called ‘cards’ with two variants: ‘A’ and ‘B.’ Both are linked to the ‘Category’ variable. However, variant ‘A’ is set to Auto Mode, and variant ‘B’ is set to the ‘Queue’ mode of the ‘Type’ variable. Additionally, I created two buttons: ‘Filter’ and ‘Toggle’. I linked the ‘Filter’ button to the ‘Category’ variable and the ‘Toggle’ button to the ‘Waiting Queue’ variable. Upon starting the prototype, the components and v
