Hi , I am designing an app with audio guides to lead users through a series of tasks. I want to add the audio to my Figma prototype. I have been unable to successfully add the audio. If you have experience with successfully adding audio to Figma file, could you share how you did it? Thank you!

Hi, I am preparing a few prototypes in Figma Make and I’m going to present to stakeholders, but I need to limit the access to the published URL’s because or our company Privacy and Security policies. But even Figma Make file privacy is set to “Only those invited”, for the published URL I cannot control the visibility and this leads to a privacy problem, I don’t want to have this links public , but only private shared within our organization only. Is there a way to configure it? 

Hey Figma community!I’ve been working heavily with a custom plugin I helped develop. It generates components that I then publish to our team library for designers to use. My main frustration is this:Whenever I make updates to those components and push a new version, all instances in other files stay stuck on the old version. Designers have to manually remove and reinsert components—or use "Update All"—and that's error-prone and time-consuming.What I’ve tried so far:Ensured the components are in the correct library and version. Used “Swap Library” in Figma file settings. Asked team members to click “Update all instances” when prompted—but relying on that hasn’t been reliable.What I’d love to know from you all:Is there a smoother way—maybe via Figma plugin API—to push updates so instances refresh automatically? Does anybody use Design Tokens or another pattern (like overrides via JSON) to simplify ver

Is there a way to expose all nested properties, at once, for a Figma component with lots of varients?

Hi everyone ,When it comes to marketplace app development, one of the biggest decisions developers and businesses face is choosing between cross-platform frameworks (like Flutter or React Native) and native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android).Cross-platform solutions are praised for faster development, shared codebases, and reduced costs—but sometimes raise concerns about performance, device integration, and scalability. On the other hand, native apps often provide smoother performance, deeper platform features, and stronger long-term stability, though at higher development and maintenance costs.I’d love to hear your thoughts: Which approach do you think works best for marketplace apps with multi-vendor support, secure payments, and real-time updates? Have you faced challenges with scalability, performance, or user experience when choosing one over the other? Do you believe cross-platform framew

Hello Figma Community,I'm working at a telecom company where we're going to conduct usability tests using a Figma prototype with the help of Useberry. We created a simple prototype for the number-purchasing flow. The buying process should work as follows: the user starts from the numbers page, where they should see a large selection of numbers (up to 200), organized into categories. Based on their needs, they should be able to choose only one number. However, in our prototype, we can’t restrict the selection to just one number — instead, it allows users to select multiple numbers. Could you provide step-by-step instructions on how we can fix this? On the same page, we also have a standard cart where the system should display the chosen number along with its price, the category name, and the tariff included with that number. Additionally, the user should be able to choose whether they want an eSIM or a physical SIM. And if they select a physical SIM on the summary page

Hi everyone,I’ve been running email campaigns for a few months, but I’m noticing that a significant portion of my emails isn’t reaching recipients’ inboxes.I want to improve engagement, reduce bounce rates, and make sure my messages are actually seen. I’ve heard that there are multiple strategies involving authentication protocols, list hygiene, and content optimization.Could anyone share proven tactics to increase email deliverability? Are there tools or best practices you rely on for maintaining sender reputation?Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,I created and designed some pages for my portfolio in Figma. As one of the last steps I wanted to include a navigation bar. Which should look different on Desktop, Tablet and Mobile:Desktop and Tablet: it should be a floating/sticky Element on the top Mobile: It should be a classic Element with a burger menu, when you click on the burger the menu should appear.I created the navbars for each device/breakingpoint as a component I created an component set for all these navbars (including the variant for the open mobile version) I added an istance to the desktop page and on tablet and mobile the correct variants appera But when I preview it, and then go to the  mobile view and open the burger menu and then switch to tablet or desktop view the mobile navbar is still there. Also when I close the burger menu.  Check out the video which shows what I am struggle with. Thank you in advance :)

Bonjour,1 : comment vous faites pour qu'un fichier figma soit interactif ?2 : dans le même fichier j'ai plusieurs planches est ce que c'est correct ?3 : pour faire l'interactivité j'enregistre le fichier principal sous un autre nom en gardant que la page que je veux. Est ce que c'est correct ?

Hello, while prototyping, Figma only understands the vector, images and text, how to allow figma to under stand a combination of all of this as a one button (like the photo attached), so once the user press on any element of this button it will activate..as you see in the below image, there is an option to select the language, but Figma only can select the arrow or one single element at a time, so shall I make the whole vectors connection? or is there a way to combine it into one button?. Thank You  

Is there a way to add Figma as a model provider into Xcode 26?

Hace dos días recibí un mail diciendo que en 4 semanas se vencería mi plan educativo y que tendría que trasladar todos mis proyectos a otra clase. Yo inicie con el plan educativo en agosto del año pasado y lo volví a solicitar en marzo de este año porque me decía que ya había vencido. Quiero hacerlo ahora también antes de que vensa pero me da error de verificación 

Hello, I recently started lerning FIgma. So when I was making the calendar, I decided to add a highlight effect for selected cells. When you click on them, they get bigger and start to highlight. I did it with buttons. So, is it possible to place all the calendar cells at the same height along the z-axis, and when you click on them, raise the active cells above the others, and so that they are also at the same level (the active cells should not cast a shadow on each other, as in the screenshot). I tried to find something on the google, but there is nothing similar.Thanks in advance for your help. 

I’m rebuilding a load of our components, and was hoping to make a top navbar component that can display any nav item tab as selected without having to resort to making a variant for each item showing as highlighted. I’d like to have a single navbar component, with a sub-component for the different states of the tabs (selected/unselected), and then just use whatever functionality Figma offers to allow a single dropdown to select the live tab.I can see that it’s possible if I expose properties from nested instances, but that then means I display a full list of each menu item as a property, and all have to be switched off apart from the selected one, which is clumsy.I’ve currently settled on an unsatisfactory compromise where I’ve build a single navbar component, and then made a nested component for just the tabs themselves. I still have to then make a variant for each of the nav items, albeit just for the tabs and not the whole bar. Is it curren

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get hold of the Figma Android APK? I’d like to sideload it onto a device which does not have access to the Play Store in order to test a prototype in situ.

How do I import figma make into figma design to make edits personally?

Hi, I'm new to Figma. After creating a site design under “site,” I am now trying to import the website into WordPress with Elementor via UIChemy. After much research and trial and error, I have noticed that UIchemy does not link to Figma “site,” but rather to Figma “design.” How can I get my designed site imported into WordPress? Is it possible to link directly to “Site”? That would make the most sense, right? Or what other options do I have?

I’m working on a brand identity project and trying to recreate the gradient effect you see in my logo (screenshot attached). The effect looks more like a multi-stop brushstroke gradient rather than a standard linear or radial gradient. It has depth, sheen, and a slightly “painted” look with multiple breaks in color—ranging from deep purple to aqua, orange, and pink.What I’ve tried so far: Standard linear and radial gradients → looks too flat. Multiple fills with blending modes → closer, but still not capturing the depth/brushstroke feel. Paint-style plugins (e.g., gradient mesh / pattern overlays) → not quite matching the richness. What I’m hoping to learn: Best practice in Figma (or via plugins) to recreate this type of multi-stop brushstroke gradient. Whether I should build it with gradient meshes, noise overlays, or multiple layered

Hi, on a ComponentNode (inside a ComponentSetNode) the node property variantProperties has been deprecated (https://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/nodes-variantproperties/) but is there no other way to get the active variant properties of a component node? The doc suggests use componentProperties instead but that node property does not exist on a component node inside a component set node.

We have about 60 teams in our organizational account. Basicly one team for every customer and all files under it. All our designers have access to most of the teams. We want to downgrade to professional and want to know how that would work in our case? Is it possible to solve it so every team becomes a project instead? So we end up with 1 team and 60 projects and all our files are kept? I cant find any detailed information on this…
