Hi, I’ve added a few ui kits to my current team space. Then I realized that I can also add libraries from my personal professional team account ––by selecting »Your teams«–– to a current or new file of the other team account. So I’m wondering if the other »Your teams« libraries are only visible for me? Or also visible for other editors?

Hi there, Is there any option to align asterisks in center vertically. Didn’t found any solution of it. Please help. Thanks

I received an email from Figma a few days ago and updated it to UI3. I don’t have an AI feature icon. Will this part be updated next time? (Will it only update the paid plan account?).

I have hundreds and hundreds of small images (600x900) on the canvas. I need to place all of these into individual frames, where the parent fram should be 600x900 and have a reasonable padding that I can add a color to on all frames. In the end I want all pictures centered and in a “fill” setting across all frames. Is there any tool or plugin or trick I can use achieve this without spending hours doing it manually?

Is there a workaround for setting the font size for specific breakpoints within a responsive design? It seems there has been a lot of work put into making designs behave responsively through the use of constraints and auto layout both in design and prototype mode without any thought on how text scales between large desktop and small mobile screen sizes. Framer handles this well by being able to specify font sizes for each breakpoint. It would be great to have this as a native feature in Figma also.

Hello! I’m having trouble figuring out what the addition of having corners showing around a layer panel icon means: I’ve checked the Figma Learn article that includes an index of what each icon means, but this icon state is missing. Thank you in advance! 🙂

I understand it’s Pride Month, but this feels a bit too on-the-nose. I can’t find a setting to turn it off.

I am not sure if this is an content issue on email notifications but this was email I received. “Because you’re on an Education Pro team, content training is set to ‘off’ by default.” Couple of facts: I am admin on two Professional plan accounts and have no idea what “Education Pro team” is Content training was set to ‘on’ on both accounts I manage Does anyone have any inputs on this?

Hello 🙂 I’m currently designing an app prototype in Figma. I wanted to ask if it’s possible to have 3 buttons in one frame and depending on which one I press, a different variant appears in the next frame. Normally you would just do this without components with 3 different frames. But I don’t want to have to repeat the path 3 times afterwards, so this step should also be with components. Is it possible to do it like this, and if so, how do i do it? Thank you very much for your help.

Something strange…“Figma Ran Into a Problem” error only on my M1 Mac. Cannot open my homepage to even select files or add/remove accounts

Throughout the rest of Figma (and most other apps where users can edit text), ⌘+K is used as a shortcut to add a hyperlink. Figma Slides doesn’t use this shortcut in the same way. Someone’s opted to use it to invoke a search box (which is also common, but not really in interfaces where you’re creating/editing). The context menu in Figma Slides even shows this as the shortcut to add a link. Can you please fix this so it’s consistent with the rest of Figma, and every other tool I use? Super annoying! 😬

I’ve been playing around with Figma Slides and every time the left sidebar will stop displaying content after a certain time. So i don’t get the option to add new slides and my already existing slides will not show either. I think it always happens after i’ve added an asset library to the deck. Here’s a pic for context. Does anyone if this is something i’m doing wrong or if this is just a beta bug?

hello, i have 2 issues with variables i have weight set at 700 both # and value and it keeps changing to 900 i go to layer, change variable mode to desktop, when i see the dropdown of the values its correct. when i click to apply the mobile value gets linked. can anyone help please?

I really love the new features in Figma but i dont know why i cant able to see the Figma visual search ai option i cant able to see in my interface May I know the reasons.

Hi all! Is there a way to get color and text styles data from the REST API? I’m using the /v1/files/:key/nodes?ids=:ids endpoint, and the response on nodes > [node id] > styles returns all color and text styles but only metadata, nothing related to font family, font size, color etc. Is this expected? I know that I can get those styles if I look for an specific element that is assigned to those styles, but that won’t always be the case, for example, if I have 10 text styles but only 5 are being used on a file, I’d still want info from all of them. I also tried using /v1/styles/:key but for some reason it always returns 404, and by looking at the documentation, it also only returns metadata and not the actual styling information. On the Plugin API I can just use figma.getLocalPaintStyles() and figma.getLocalTextStyles(), so is there something similar to this on the REST API?

How do I make a prototype with a master checkbox that affects the column of checkboxes below it.

I recently got early access to Figma’s Beta version, and I’m super excited to dive into all the new features! However, I’ve hit a bit of a snag. The “Make Designs” AI feature isn’t working for me, even though everything else is running smoothly. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips or fixes? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance! 😊

Making a new Figma Slides template, got all of my color, text, and grid styles loaded into my template. Published all of my changes. Made a new slide deck with the published template and when I add a new slide it shows the old default 1x1 grid rather than my saved style grid. Same thing happens while in the template building new pages when adding a slide it loads the 1x1 grid. Also noticing when publishing changes to the template. Slide decks made with it don’t show the new published changes. Only if I add a new slide then it does.

Hello, I happened to update Figma to the newest version but just found the previous built-in Figma basic design examples (see screenshot) were removed and replaced with iOS, Material UI, and a new Simple Design System. Is anyone able to find/provide the previous basic example files? I’ll appreciate it as I am building something based on that basic design…

Hello Figma Team, Thank you for all your efforts in continuously improving Figma. I am writing to inquire about the possibility of obtaining early access to your new AI update However, the AI waitlist update still doesn’t work for me and I’m still learning the user experience Your efforts in advancing design tools are greatly appreciated, and I am eager to share this innovation with my community. Thank you so much for considering my request. Best regards. maha

How to get Scroll behavior > Position > Sticky with Plugin API?

How can I access the value of a variable font axis. I’m writing a plugin and trying to extract the font from a TextNode. It’s possible in Figma to set the font axes to a custom value for variable fonts(e.g. the weight of the font). When I do this in Figma the input for the font style changes from e.g. ‘Regular’ to ‘Weight: 357’. My approach to accessing this property was to read the fontName value of the text segment and then read its style property. But, and that’s the problem I’m currently facing, instead of giving me that value of ‘Weight: 357’ I just get the style ‘Regular’. After further testing I noted that the font weight gets rounded to the nearest style that has a text value. For example, 120 becomes ‘Thin’ and 170 becomes ‘Extra light’. This is a problem because I am unable to get the exact weight, only a rounded value. Is there something I missed? Another way of accessing the weight to get the exact value? PS: I tried the ‘Oswald’ and ‘Syne’ fonts, both give me the same pro
