Hello! I have an active educational plan and I added my colleague to the file; he also has a verified educational email. When I click edit, a message appears saying that the plan will be upgraded. I would like to know if we can edit the same Edu file without charges, or will it generate any?Taking advantage of the question... I didn't find any settings to add or move my credit card.

How to Copy/Paste or Duplicate Local Variables in Figma in Windows Desktop app?

Hey can someone explain me how I can make the form submission actually sends out forms to services like getform or formspree? It never sends any submissions.Ive created the website via figma make.I asked the AI to make this form actually submit and didnt work. I used GPT to help me, but no. This might have messed up the code too. So Im rly lost and am not savvy in these areas at all.  

Hello! I have submitted Figma plugin for the review, but I did not get any confirmation email or any communication it went through. I saw in the docs it says 5-10 days, but I am not sure if it got received correctly?Also, another question, I just found out there is another plugin that is called Framify (which was published a month ago), would that be a good reason to deny my plugin, because it’s also called same name? I wonder if I would have to redo everything, or how would people be able to differentiate? Any recommendations, suggestions?  Here are the screens for my plugin. 

  Trying to simplify the design system library, we decided to replace variants (*not variables) with Modes.This would significantly reduce the size of our design library because instead of having buttons with thousands of variants, now we would only have the default button and the Modes would replace states such as Hover, Active, Focus, Disabled and so on.  The issue now is while prototyping! When one single element triggers an interaction (this interaction was added to the child NOT the main component) ALL the elements within that wireframe will change. Before hovering:While hovering: And as you can see in the image below, only the first button has an interaction applied. Is there any way to prevent this content awareness cascading to all the elements and only apply it to that one specific element? 

Hello everyone,I’m currently exploring how to structure a Data Table component in Figma so it maps cleanly to code using Code Connect, particularly with the goal of enabling AI-assisted implementation.My current component architecture is:Data Table (root) Table Row Cell (size variants) Cell Type (e.g., text, text button, icon button, checkbox, icon, tag, etc.) The challenge I’m running into is how this level of nesting translates through Code Connect. Ideally, I’m aiming for a 1:1 mapping between Figma components and the codebase so developers can select a composed table in a design and prompt an AI agent (e.g., Claude) to generate a reliable implementation.Has anyone developed a scalable approach for structuring Data Table components in Figma that pairs well with Code Connect? Appreciate any guidelines, feedbacks, and suggestions.

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to see if anyone else is facing major delays with plugin approvals right now. I submitted mine on March 15th, and it's still stuck in the "In review" stage, well beyond the standard 5-10 business day timeframe.A few details about the submission:• Submission Date: March 15, 2026• plugin Link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1614668743914445888/prototype-note-toggle I actually already sent a follow-up email regarding this delay. I did get a reply right away, but it was just a canned, robotic response telling me to keep waiting. There hasn't been any actual progress on the review itself.Has anyone else dealt with this kind of loop recently? Is there a better way to get a real human update on the status, or do I just have to sit tight indefinitely? Any advice from other plugin creators would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,kippeum.nam

I’m trying to copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator to Figma without the text being converted into outlines. The content is a mixture of vector graphics and editable text. Due to the amount of text, the Figma prototype I’m working on becomes jerky and slow. This would not be a problem if the text existed as editable text.I have tried 2 plugins to resolve it. Convertify was useless and converted all of the text to outlines. Illustrator Importer was better, managing to import the text as editable, but it added anomalies such as incorrect font sizes, weights, alignment, etc.Manually recreating the text in Figma would take far too long and I just don’t consider it to be a viable solution. This is unworkable due to the layout of the text, rather than the amount of text.Does anyone know of a way to import from Illustrator with the text remaining editable (not converted to outlines)?–I miss Adobe XD, which didn’t have any of these problems. It imported text as editable text and the prototype

I am writing to request a full refund for a recent subscription charge of $27 that occurred on 2026-03-08. This charge was entirely unexpected as I no longer have a need for the service and had intended to cancel the subscription prior to the renewal date. Unfortunately, I overlooked the cancellation process, and the subscription was automatically renewed. Since the charge, I have not used any of the paid features. I would greatly appreciate it if you could review my account and process a refund for this transaction.Thank you for your time and for providing such a great tool. I look forward to your positive response.

I’ve made a web-app with figma make, and was happy to see that Push to Github was an option, but I’m having issues with this feature. Whenever I made a change to code, either by ai or manual, I saw that Github didn’t recieve the updated code. I investigated som more and found out that Figma don’t understand how files from the project were being pushed.I have a root directory in github, with one folder (/src). Here, all my files from figma make lies (Public etc) What I noticed is that Figma creates two index.html files, two package.json, two vite.config.ts  on push.The original files from Make is in /scr. and another basic version gets put on the Github root.I’ve tried to figure out how to fix or work around this, but I cannot figure it out. I’ve tried moving the correct versions to Github root, but to no help. And to make it worse, they get overwritten with every push. Must be some more files not being pushed to the right location.Basically the Github Push feature is broken for me. Hop

I’d really appreciate some help here, can’t get mobile prototyping to work in the way I’d expect. I am prototyping an app with a bottom anchored toolbar. As such, “Fit” type settings are critical to avoid users from missing these buttons. However, any combination of settings I try in prototyping (Fit, fill, presentation, different preset phone frames) do not actually fit my prototype within phones of varying sizes. Here’s an image of what I’d expect would happen. I’d expect a fixed ratio and I’d get black bars on the sides. This is pretty much how desktop prototypes show - they work on any screen size because the frame is fixed and fits to any window size, with black bars added as needed. Any help is really appreciated here. I don’t get how mobile prototypes could not support “Fit” in the way I’m describing, as that’d make testing anything with bottom-anchored toolbars/buttons much more unreliable based on phone size. Thanks for any input!

I have created full function POS software in Figma Make. I am very impressed with capability. However last few weeks this App is not being build (No UI is rendered). Any effort to reach the support has not been of any help. Yes, I can still create new App which tells me my configuration etc are fine.   Is anyone else facing similar kind of problem? 

I am working in a file that was created by another designer. I am trying to add a background pill to a text grid and I can’t get the pill to go behind the text. From the file menu I can see that all of the components previously created are dragged from the component library so they are all purple. I’ve tried several options, but not having success. Nothing is locked.

Auto-filling slot containersIs there a way for an instance added to a slot to automatically fill the slot container? For example, when I insert a row component into the slot, it keeps its fixed width instead of expanding to fill the slot.Selecting a preferred instance variantWhen setting a preferred instance for a slot, it seems like I can only select the base component—not a specific variant. Is there currently a way to choose a specific variant as the preferred instance?The only workaround I can think of is breaking that variant out into its own component, but that feels like it defeats the purpose of variants.Am I missing something in how slots are intended to work, or are these current limitations?

I have paid for more credits as my allowance will reset on 16 April. Yet nothing has happened - cannot ‘make’ anything new.Tried to get a response from them and nothing.Suggestions?

[image redacted by moderator to remove personal information]Hello everyone!I filled out the educational subscription form on the Figma website incorrectly and can't resubmit it.I can't upgrade my plan in Figma—they're asking me to sign up for a professional subscription. I'm a student taking courses at an IT school. Perhaps you were in a hurry and didn't fill out the form carefully. If you've encountered this issue, I'd be happy to hear from you.

My little Figpal Disappeared. Tried to log out and log back in but still haven’t found it.

Hey, I need to access an important Figma file ASAP but I can’t find it. I have the old link but when I click on it, it says it’s been deleted and I know I didn’t. When I go to the support forum, the chatbot redirects me back to the forum for help. Can I have a contact to help me restore this please?

Hi,I often collaborate with people who are not designers.What is the best way to:Share work with them Let them give feedback easily Avoid confusionAny tips or workflows would be helpful.

Hi everyone,I work with small teams and sometimes we need a simple way to track tasks inside Figma.Would it be possible to add a lightweight task system (like checklists or assignments)?This would help non-technical collaborators stay organized without using external tools.Would anyone else find this useful?

Hello everyone,I subscribed to the Figma Professional plan today (April 6, 2026) and was charged $20. After using it, I found the experience very slow with a lot of errors, so I decided I no longer want to continue with the subscription.I checked Figma's help article about requesting a refund within 24 hours, which mentions going to Settings → Community tab → Community purchases. However, I cannot find the "Community purchases" section in my account at all — I only see profile connection options there.I believe this is because I purchased a Professional team plan, not a Community resource (plugin/template), so the refund steps in the help article don't seem to apply to my case.I have already submitted a request through Figma's official contact form under "Billing and invoicing," but I wanted to ask here as well:➡️ Has anyone been in the same situation? Is there another way to request a refund for a Professional plan subscription purchased today?Email adress: elmouden.zineb.eleve@ehtp.a
