We have a good amount of users, but I am looking to only turn on PAYG access to select users once they are approaching limit or hit limit. This allows a workflow to learn the justification before giving that user access. Right now it looks like I have to individually turn everyone off, not to mention that a newly added user has it on by default (should be off by default). Am I missing something?

I wanted to ask if it’s possible to create a QR code scanner inside Figma. Otherwise I wanted to ask what are some valid alternatives. What I wanted to do is to integrate a figma app design that I created with a QR code reader while staying in the app. Thanks

HiI have a button that contains icons and a text layer. I need the text layer to have a max width of 160px as it needs to truncate very long button texts. However, we also need a version, where the text isn’t truncated when above 160 px width for some other designs.My question is, if there is a way to override the max width value in a component instance or if I need to create a boolean text layers with no limit to width, that can then be toggled on/off depending on desired behavior.I guess it can also somehow be achieved using slot components, but I would prefer to just be able to override the max width from the main component on my component instance to avoid complexity.Any ideas? Thanks.  

I have joined an organization as a guest and have been assigned a Dev Mode seat. However, when generating a Personal Access Token (PAT), the 'Code Connect' scope is not available under the Scopes section.

With the official roll out and credit limits, is the limit per seat or total for the plan? 

I submitted a plugin for review over 30 days ago and it's still showing as "under review." I wanted to check in to see if it’s normal, or if there's anything needed from my end to move the process forward.Any insights would help! Thanks.

How can I enable the new Variables UI where the button is in the left toolbar and the Variables page opens in full screen? My other account already uses the new UI across all pages, but this account still has the old UI where Variables open in a small modal.  

Hi everyoneI’m currently working on a simple grade calculator UI (something like a GWA calculator), and I’m trying to keep the input experience clean and easy to understand for students.The challenge I’m facing: Users need to input multiple subjects, and for each one:Grade (numeric) Units / weightThen the system calculates a weighted average.It sounds simple, but the UI starts to feel cluttered when:There are many subjects Users need to add/remove rows Inputs start looking repetitiveWhat I’ve tried:Basic table layout → works but feels a bit “heavy” Card-style inputs → cleaner, but takes too much space Minimal rows with “+ Add Subject” → better, but still not fully intuitiveI also checked how existing tools structure this kind of input (for example: [REDACTED]), and it helped me understand the flow but I still feel the UI could be improved from a design perspective.Would love your thoughts on this:How would you structure repeated inputs like this without overwhelming the user? Is a tabl

I was almost finish with everything and wanted to publize the app to domain . All i got was blank page . The credits where used  sutonatic to try solving problem and if thats not enough everything is out  of order . .

The Breakpoint screens are not linked anymore and I cannot do anything to fix this! I just paid for the professional account, and now I encountered this problem. Any solution to this, anyone? 

Hi everyone,I am building an integration using the Figma REST API. I have a scenario where I need to fetch data (GET /v1/files/:key) from a file that has Password Protection enabled (Shared via "Anyone with the link + Password").Currently, when my script attempts to access these files using a valid X-Figma-Token, I receive a 403 Forbidden error.I have looked through the REST API documentation but cannot find a parameter or header to pass the file password.I noticed that when accessing via the browser, the client makes a request to an internal endpoint (https://www.figma.com/api/files/:key/check_password) which sets a session cookie. However, since the REST API relies on stateless tokens rather than cookies, this internal method doesn't seem compatible with standard API automation.My Questions: Is there an undocumented header (e.g., X-Figma-Password) or query parameter supported by the public v1 API to access password-protected files? If not, is the only supported workaround to explic

I’m interested to know if embedding in an iframe can work. Has anyone tried embedding in a figma site url in a website environment such as wordpress/episerver or magnolia? If it does has anyone any examples or advice? Thanks you so much. : )

Hi, I hope there is a solution to my problem with the new figma site file. I have done many animations there for my prototypes and want to use them in my portfolio in Behance. The only way I know I can link a figma prototype in Behance is by embedding it with an iframe. I know how to do that from a normal figma design file (and it does display correctly) but I can’t seem to find how to do it from a figma site file. If I copy the embed code from a figma site file, the iframe displays the entire project, not only the prototype.I really don’t want to redo all the animations the old fashioned way in a figma design file because this takes way more time and it’s redundant.Can someone please save me? Is there a way not to animate this all over again?

Hi! I’m struggling figuring out how to optimize some buttons/components with variables.I’m trying to make tags with different sections. Essentially, I need to find a way to have the tag style change based on what tag section its in and if its been selected. I have tags for the following:Culture (red), Food (orange), Adventure(green), and Leisure (blue).They should all have two modes: selected and unselected.Each category has 10 tags. So, for example, culture has:architectureartceremonial siteshistorical museumsmonumentsreligious structuressacred groundswrecks & ruinsviewpoints How do I use variables to change the following: tag contents (text), tag color (both depending on if its a culture, food, adventure, or wellness tag AND if it is/isnt selected). For context, I’m trying to optimize my prototype in figma so that I can then use the React extension and minimize the extra coding I have to do. 

I have a boolean variable to show/hide a layer, but I can’t assign it to the layer. I swear the icon for it used to be in this panel. I am going crazy.

How in God’s name do you change the angle of a gradient when selecting multiple layers of text?amazing that this $10b company hasn’t made this obvious/easyThe “rotate gradient” button does exactly nothing.  

I have some buttons that have a hover effect and in the prototype there is slight movement of the content. I checked the position of the content to be the same in both instances (default and hovered) in regards to the margins and in between items I applied a “while hovering” interaction with instant animation This also seems to happen in between separate screens of a prototype for text in a header component that doesn’t have animation applied or any other interaction. Anyone has any idea?

It looks different when I tried to change variables,which is quite hassle as opposed to the usual,how can I change it back

I’m currently setting up a custom Figma Make Kit for our organization. My goal is to enable both designers and non-designers to generate consistent UI screens using our unique Design System through AI.While the generation process is impressive, we often need to move the results into a Figma Design file for detailed iterations and final hand-offs.Here is my core question: When we "Send to Design File," is there a way to ensure the generated components and tokens remain actively linked to our original Library (Design System file)?For our workflow, it’s crucial that: Non-designers can generate layouts that stay on-brand. Designers can take over those files without losing the connection to the main library (to avoid manual re-linking or detaching). Is there a specific way to configure the Kit or the export process to keep these library instances "live"? I'd love to hear how other teams are managing the bridge between AI-generated kits and their production design systems.Thanks for your i

Situation:I was using an education account in Figma. I used all my credits in Figma Make, so I created a professional account. Now I’m trying to copy and paste the same frame into Figma Make, but I keep getting an error saying:“The image is too large. Please reduce the number of images or use smaller image sizes.” Question:What should I do to fix this?

Hey ya’ll, working on this project and ran into this issue where I have 3 separate components that each have two variants with smart animate in order to make them spin, which I then copied into another component set to smart animate those 3 animated components to pop up behind an element as they spin. When I preview this, it just jumps to the last variable with no animation.The things I’ve checked/tried are:Memory usage is only 2% As far as I can see, all my layers are in the same order and the names are the same in each component I’ve originally set the parent frame to auto layout and fixed hight and width, which caused me to put everything else in more nested frames to keep the elements overlapping like I wanted, but once reading that sometimes too many nested components can mess with smart animate, I have taken off auto layout for the parent but kept the fixed hight and width I’ve tried setting the after delay for longer but it changes nothing I’ve also tried not combining component

Hi all,I’m running into an issue with Smart Animate that seems to be a recent regression. I’ve used Smart Animate successfully across multiple components in my file, and everything was working fine in Present mode until this past week.Now, some animations that used to work perfectly are either:• Not playing at all, or• Playing incorrectly (e.g. jumpy, incomplete, or skipping interpolation)Here’s what I’ve found through troubleshooting:• The animations still work when I isolate the animated component and test it on its own.• They break only when nested inside more complex parent components (which contain other nested instances).• Detaching the parent instance or simplifying the nesting restores the expected animation behaviour.• Clearing Figma’s cache and restarting the app had no effect.• I haven’t changed anything in the component structure that would explain this — it genuinely seems to have broken out of the blue.This leads me to suspect either:• A recent Figma update changed how Sm

I'm one of the admins in my company and i’m leaving soon, how do I transfer all projects i’m the owner of automatically to another admin? I have hundreds of projects I own and can’t go back so many years to individually transfer ownership one by one. Is their a way to simply say “all the projects under my ownership are now moved to X”?
