Holaa, estoy tomando un curso para aprender a usar Figma y hay un momento en el que me pide configurar una instancia que nombramos como menú, pero al clicar en la instancia, no me da las opciones de configuración que aparecen en la segunda imagen, alguien sabe que error cometí al crear la instancia para que a mi no me aparezca esa opción de configuración?

I’m trying to understand how to help my designers produce Figma Make files that use our design system components and standards.If we were to enable Figma MCP server for my org, would that allow designers to constrain Figma Make to only use our design system?Or would we need to use an npm package or Make Kits for that?

Hi everyone,I'm trying to implement a tab-based navigation layout in Figma Sites below my hero section. I created the tabs in Design Library with component variants for active states and enabled them in my Figma Sites, but I'm struggling to make each tab link to and display its specific content section.Currently, the variants change visually, but they don't dynamically switch the corresponding content for each tab.What is the best way to implement a working tab structure in Figma Sites so that each tab loads its respective content when clicked? Is there a recommended approach using anchors, components, or another workaround?Would appreciate any guidance from anyone who has implemented tabs successfully in Figma Sites. Thanks!

I have never met a Figma branch conflict that I could resolve 😥 Not one.I’ve read all of the relevant help center articles (including this potentially outdated one that focuses on conflicts) and I’ve watched video tutorials, but none of them provide enough information. I understand what conflicts are and why they need to be resolved, I’ve done it in other programs, but I can’t figure out Figma’s particular UI for this process.I need help understanding this window: Is anyone aware of... anything anywhere tha

If the team owner is no longer employed and the associated company email address has been permanently deactivated, what documentation would Figma Support require to authorize an ownership reassignment?

Hey everyone,This has been driving me (and apparently hundreds of others) crazy since 2021: there is STILL no native way to properly move or duplicate an entire page from one Figma file to another.Copy-paste or “Select All” destroys page background/grid/rulers, breaks prototypes, loses comments, turns library styles into local duplicates, and forgets locked/hidden layers. Duplicating the whole file then deleting pages is the only “workaround” — but it’s a nightmare with 50+ page files or design systems.I’m a fellow designer who’s fed up and seriously considering building a free Figma plugin called PagePort that would let you:Export any page (or batch multiple pages) with 100% fidelity (layers, auto-layout, constraints, page props, prototypes where possible) Import into any other open file in one click Choose Move (delete from source) or Copy Smart remapping for styles/variables/libraries + basic prototype r

So I had a Site already made (I’m the owner) and then I upgraded to an Education plan courtesy of my college. Suddenly I lost access to the editing features of the site? The Site had already been shared with my group members and they can’t edit either.I checked, and I’m still the owner of the file and all of my group members have “can edit” by their name. However, all of us have exclaimation marks by our names with the popup “An admin needs to update your seat so you can edit”. Am I not automatically an admin as an owner? I went into the admin settings on my project and there’s no way for me to grant myself edit access either. Frankly, this is ridiculous and poor design on Figma’s part.

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?

The error message above prompt says : Files that are too largelarge files break figma make but i have deleted some of those files and it still stock on same message 

Is everyone around here ever able to use Template styles in Figma Slides? EVERY time we paste a slide from another presentation, it creates a ‘new’ template so we end up with a dropdown full of slightly similar templates styles and it is impossible to delete them unless I switch every culprit style to the ‘main’ style. But doing usually changes things around so we just gave up trying to use them 😭 Here is a screenshot of the dropdown in most of our slide decks: 

Hi, I am trying to link a card to a specific section in another page. Is that possible in Figma or is it a limitation? 

I have a prototype, interaction is:From main screen tap on icon > icon opens up an overlay which has a carousel (4 in the set), you can move left/right between the carousel, and there’s a ‘got it’ CTA on each one for closing. It’s all working fine, apart from if you tap outside of one of the interactions (ie. you hit the background of the modal, not the arrows or CTA), in which case, the overlay reverts to the first in the sequence, the width expands to fit the entire screen, and the ‘got it’ CTA no longer closes the overlay. You can run through the carousel again, but you can’t actually close it anymore.I have checked EVERYTHING I thought this could be, and nothing seems to be leading to this issue.

Hey Community. It’s my first question here, so lmk if this is the right approach/format.Here’s my use case:I have two icon component sets consisting of two sizes each I want to use the icons in a button component The icon instance inside the button component is exposed as nested instance I change the icon instance inside the button from checkmark to xClose When changing the button size, it resets the icon instance to the defaultI can’t set the icon instance inside the button as instance swap property either, because I’d have to do it for both icon sizes in both component variants, and then it still doesn’t persist when changing the size of the button component. Any clue if and how this can work inside Figma? I know simply sc

Edit, never mind, the UI wasn’t clear. Also there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete threads here, gg

Context: I’m creating a prototype in Make and want to rebuild using Claude Code.  Currently I download the Make file code and put in the project file and have Claude review it there.  Or I copy the design for a specific screen and paste into a Figma design file and have Clause review via MCP.  I’ve tried using MCP to connect directly to Make file but that isn’t currently supported (from what I can tell) Question: Is there a better way to do this?

Hello Figma Community and Support Team,I am the IT Coordinator at Çözüm Koleji (a K-12 school in Turkey). I applied for the Figma Education plan for our school domain (cozum.k12.tr) about 12 days ago but haven't received any response or verification email.We are in the process of rolling out our centralized design environment. We currently use Microsoft A5, Google Workspace, and Adobe Creative Cloud. We urgently need the Figma Enterprise features to set up SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning via Microsoft Entra ID, just like we did with our Canva integration.Without the education verification, we cannot proceed with a secure, centralized deployment for our K-12 students. Could a Figma staff member please look into our application or escalate this to the SheerID/Education team? I have all official documents ready for manual review.Thank you for your support.Zahit Koca

Hey Guys!PROJECT: Design an app and a responsive website for a local grocery store that helps shoppers locate products as they shop in person. I would really appreciate constructive feedback on my LO-FI Prototype  

Hi, Figmates?Just wanted to check in with everyone. Has anyone heard any news or teasers of what’s coming next to Figma Sites or CMS?I feel the need to be excited, as I am working heavily on my website and want to understand what I will be able to do next and how.

I have some linking issues that I need help with. I have a paragraph of text and within that paragraph I have highlighted some text to make links to external web pages. Some links work fine because they are only on 1 line, but the other links that span multiple lines of text only work on the first line/row of text when exported to PDF. The other rows beyond the first row do not export as links, but are still underlined like a link would be. They look and work fine in Figma, but lose the link on second and third rows when exported to PDF. I’ve even tried making each row its own link and that doesn’t work either.Odd thing is that exporting the file last week worked just fine with these multiline links but now they don’t work. I don’t recall doing any updates to Figma, but could have been one of those “update on next launch” things that happened. Hopefully this makes sense and that someone else has seen this before. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would like to create a simple component that would have different versions for desktop and mobile. After I add the component to a screen, I can link to a "device" variable and make it adjust automatically. But I would like to link the variant with the variable automatically, so every time a team member add this component to a screen, they wouldn't need to link them manually.  Is this possible?

Hello Figma Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. My Figma account (username: asidle, email: [redacted by moderator to remove personal information]) has recently been suspended, and I am currently unable to access my design files. I have already submitted an appeal through the support form (Ticket #1765246), but I have not yet received further information regarding the reason for the suspension. There are important project files in my account that I rely on for ongoing professional work as a UI/UX designer. The suspension has significantly affected my ability to continue my projects. I sincerely believe this may have been triggered unintentionally, as I have always respected Figma’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. If any unusual activity (such as IP changes or login irregularities) was detected, I am fully willing to coope

Bonjour,Je rencontre un problème concernant la propriété d’un fichier Figma et je ne sais pas comment le résoudre.Contexte :J’ai créé un fichier dans le cadre d’une mission freelance pour un client.Le fichier a été partagé avec l’équipe de développement ainsi qu’avec le client, avec des droits de modification afin qu’ils puissent travailler de manière autonome.À la fin de la mission, je me suis retirée du projet et je ne conservais qu’un accès en consultation.Récemment, le client m’a informée qu’il ne pouvait plus accéder au fichier. Après vérification, je constate que je n’y ai plus accès non plus : Figma me demande désormais de faire une demande d’autorisation, alors que j’y avais encore accès récemment.Le fichier se trouvait initialement dans les Drafts (brouillons) du compte créateur.Or, l’adresse email associée à ce compte n’est plus active aujourd’hui.Situation actuelle : Le client n’a plus accès

Hi,  I am using figma pofessional plan since more than 1 year. Whenever i contact the team to extend buffer time after finising my exact billing date, they always help me.  And this time, again i have sent email to them to help me to increase buffer time and still waiting for them to response, support ticket : 1773195 . My team will start work after next 3 hours and my plan is locked now, and lets see if they can help me to reactived and extend the buffer time.  I am waiting for support team to response.   

I edited the Figma Make prototype using the Point and Edit tool to change the background color. I changed it, but upon refreshing the prototype, the old color appears. How to save the change made using the Point and Edit tool, especially in the case of changing the background color? 

My team is looking at ways of better integrating our DS in Figma with Figma’s MCP server, and Figma’s Code Connect feature, specifically.We don’t currently have an organization or enterprise plan, so I was hoping someone who has the knowledge—whether as a Figma team member or an org/enterprise user—might be able to answer this question:In Figma’s Code Connect Feature, can you map a Figma component to a directory in your codebase?  Or does it have to map to a specific file (e.g. could we map a `Button` component to `/DS/Primitives/Button/`, or do we have to map it a specific file like `/DS/Primitives/Button.tsx` or `/DS/Primitives/Button/index.tsx`?Thanks!
