Anyone ever used figma make? especially until finish it and try to deploy?I’m tried to download generated code from figma make and deployed it to github and vercel. It is doesnt work, seems because the structure is not common. now I still host the website in figma but connect it to a new domain. my question is, does figma make code able to deployed and continue the development as functional website? or it is just mare prototype? does figma has plan to make it website builder like lovable or V0?I also trying to implement Google Analytics, but despite Figma Make's reported implementation using the provided script, GA testing consistently failsany help will really appreciated, thanks!

Hello forum!Is there a way to enable showing line height in pixels by default? By default it shows in percents and I don’t find in really convient, I would much rather just see it in pixels by default or were able to switch it somewhere

I’ve noticed that when I make changes to a main component, some overrides in its instances don’t update as expected. This is causing inconsistencies in my designs, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or something I’m missing in the workflow. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on keeping component updates consistent across all instances would be really helpful.

Hello,I'm contacting you because I don't have access to the Figma AI feature "Remove background".I'm on the verified Student plan and I've noticed that my classmates have this feature but I don't.How can I get access to this feature and other AI features?

Hello, I am pretty new on Figma and I am learning via online course.I just started with the topic smart animate and I tried to animate an arrow that is fading in. It works, like I follow the both rules, have the arrow on two different pages (included) and also they both have the same name. It works fine, but as soon as I try to change the design of the “start” arrow a little bit, let’s say it is bigger than the “end” arrow so that it sizes down, the animation doesnt work anymore. I hope you understand my problem… maybe someone has an idea here? Arrows both have the same name, they are both imbedded on their appropriate layer page.The grey to black fade in works, but not the change of the form, as soon as I change the form of the left arrow, the animation doesnt work anymore. 

In the keynote, the left navigation is mostly discussed in tandem with the “extended collections” feature, which I believe is only available to enterprise. However, I’m interested in the new, full screen variables panel that’s included with the new left nav panel since it makes it much easier to get a complete picture of a design system token set. Is this UI element going to be rolled out to everyone, or only enterprise users? If yes, when’s the target roll out?

I’m trying to the enterprise package, to get this I have to contact sales which I have done 3 times now but no response. Can anyone help with this? I’m trying to get this done asap and its proving to be quite a tedious process.  

Why I don't have figma AI tool after one year? how should I get it?

In the desktop version of Figma, ALL the images have disappeared from ALL my projects. The frames are still there, but they are empty. However, everything is working fine in the browser version. I've tried restarting, uninstalling, and reinstalling Figma, but nothing has worked. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

I’m experiencing slow loading times when previewing my website designs on mobile, especially when using the Figma mobile app or opening shared prototype links. The desktop preview works fine, but on mobile the pages take several seconds to load, and sometimes interactions lag or don’t respond smoothly. I’ve checked my device, internet connection, and file size, but the issue still appears. I’m wondering if this is a common problem or something related to my setup. Has anyone found a reliable fix or optimization method to improve mobile preview performance?

I'm experiencing a problem with my published design system in Figma. Although the system file containing components and variables has been successfully published and linked to other files, the color variables aren't showing up correctly in the list or grid views. I've already tried re-publishing the file, re-linking the library, checking for naming conflicts, confirming styles are properly defined and published, and clearing the Figma cache. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, which undermines the purpose of a centralized design system. Has anyone encountered this before or found a reliable workaround?Thanks  

How do you sync the changes being done in one copy of the screen to other copies on different pages? I tried making the component out of screen but then it loses it’s floating name on the top left.

So, variables are one of the most important functionalities in Figma, but the plugin API doesn’t help developers when it comes to variables, basically, there is no way for an open plugin to know when a user create, remove, reorder, or edit a variable or variable collection. Even though, this is possible with styles, which are less important and common than variables.If the document change event doesn’t include variable changes, then how an open plugin is supposed to get this information?Why variable changes haven’t been added to the document change event until now?@James_Yang I mentioned you as I always find you answers insightful​   

When using the regular workspace in Figma, I have access to plugins.   Like the QT export plugin. I created a UI using the AI Make tool but the plugins are not avilable in that workspace.   How can I move the UI Created in Make to the regular workspace so I have access to the plugin?   Is taking a screen shot of it and opening it in regular Figma the best option? Thank you.  New to Figma here.  

One approach is to divide responsibilities clearly and use automated testing as much as possible. In our case, midway through the project we reviewed how larger teams work, especially those from a blockchain development company USA perspective, and we adapted some of their processes. Simple things like mandatory peer review, using CI pipelines, and keeping clear documentation made a huge difference even for a small team.

I have a frame like this: Custom Headline has a boolean property to toggle it on/off. Headline has a boolean variable set at appearance. Problem statement: I want to turn the Headline off when Custom Headline property is turned on. This is not a prototype, so I am only changing the state through toggles.Can I apply conditionals to properties.

I can’t figure out how to change the layout of an existing slide in Figma Slides. When creating a new slide, I can choose a layout from the theme, but once the slide is added, I can’t find a way to switch it to a different layout.Am I missing something? Often, I realize later that a different layout would work better and want to apply one of the theme’s template layouts to an existing slide—but I don’t see an option to do that. The only option I can find is “Template Style,” which seems to change only text styles and colors, not the layout itself.Is there a way to reapply or change slide layouts after a slide has been created?

I’m working on some mobile app mockups with very few frames in the prototype trying to test a few gestures. When I load it onto my phone using the mobile app it runs very poorly. I thought it might be image sizes so I compressed them by exporting them at the right size and still terrible performance. Then I removed the images entirely and just used vector shapes, still awful. I am running it on a Pixel 7 Pro with the app updated. I have deleted and redownloaded the app and used new files with just simple frames. Nothing seems to make the Figma app work well. Is there a better way to test mobile gestures on a device with touch? PS. I saw other topics like this one Here that is very similar to my issues from a year ago with no solutions.

Hi! During the opening keynote at Schema 2025 (on October 28), the Figma team announced a new left navbar as part of the updated UI, mentioning it would start rolling out the following week.It’s been a few weeks since then, and I’ve already received an app update, but I still don’t see that new sidebar.Is the rollout still in progress, or is there something I need to do to enable it? Thanks!

I’m having an issue in Figma Sites where I’ve made a custom nav bar with figma make and it works as I intended except for the fact that I can’t actually link to the pages on my site. I only have three buttons “Work”, “About”, & “Contact” and I’d like to functionality to work like so.When the "Work" button is pressed it automatically goes to the page titled "Home". When the "About" button is clicked it automatically goes to the page titled "/about" When the "Contact" button is clicked it automatically scrolls to the component labeled "Footer 1"I’ve had mixed success with the first and last item. Essentially it defaults to the “scroll-to” interaction but only works on the desktop portion of my Home page. When the About button is clicked I either get a black screen or a “Not Found Error Page”. If anyone has insights on how I might achieve what I’m looking for I’d really appreciate it! The base code for the nav bar without the a

When attempting to use the MCP server to retrieve design tokens, get_variable_defs seems to return the final resolved value and not the alias in some cases. I want to confirm that's intended behavior.We were hoping to be able to rely on the MCP server to help generate components without having to pay a 3rd party like Locofy or Tokens Studio, but if we don't get aliases we can't handle mapping semantic tokens to primitive tokens to centrally manage them. We will likely have to look into export-based approaches or perhaps the API.Can you confirm or deny...and also do you have any notes on best practices for doing something like this?

I have a list on the left of the screen and the details of the selected item on the right. User can click the accept risk button to change the state (from new to accepted) I am trying to get the icon in the list to change depending on if the user accepts the risk or not. To do this, I am trying to use the boolean variables in Figma. I have these two boolean variables: I have created a custom icon so that the variant props match this (I don’t know if that matters, I actually tried it both ways and neither time did it work) I tie
