I have a main component that has several instances of a sub component in it. The sub component has several properties. I can expose these. but I am looking for a way to have the main component have the same property, and flipping that would flip the same property on all sub ones. A kind of property binding really. A really simplified example attached: the main has 5 sub id components. On the main, I would like to set 1 property to ‘icon’ so all the subs change into icon mode. Is something like this possible?

Is it possible to create an initial prototype in Figma Make, download the code, make substantial changes locally and then upload the new and improved code as a new project to make more changes and to add components in Figma make? How I do it?

created a prototype in Figma Make and published it. Then I made some changes and the result is different but questionable. If I publish the new design it will delete the previous design. The new rendition takes the same URL at Figma. Is it

Bonjour, J’ai besoin de vos lumières concernant les licences Figma. J’ai actuellement une licence éducation qui va prendre fin bientôt. Malheureusement, à la fin de celle-ci, je ne pourrais pas investir dans une licence payante, car je serais sans emploi… Il m’est essentiel de garder accès au mode éditeur de tous les fichiers se trouvant dans mes Drafts. Pouvez-vous me confirmer, que si je garde la licence “gratuite” de Figma, je garderais un accès à mes fichiers présents dans le Drafts et que je pourrais toujours les éditer ? Par avance merci pour votre aide. Chloé

I created a prototype in Figma Make and published it. Then I made some changes and the result is different but questionable. If I publish the new design it will delete the previous design. The new rendition takes the same URL at Figma. Is it possible to publish a new rendition on a different URL but not deleting the previous rendition for a community review and comparison?

Hello Fellow Figmers, I am giving a presentation where I have a few slide on a Figma Slides deck for a group presentation. Part of my prototype requires me to reset the prototype during the presentation to go through several flows from the same start point. It appears in online explainers that it is simply pressing “r” (which is my go to if im presenting a prototype the non-slides way, and in that scenario it works fine!). No go! it doesn’t work! I press “r” while on the slide with the prototype (i am using Macbook Air as the overlay option) and it utterly doesnt work. For some dumb reason, if I hit R enough times (like 3 times?) it DOES reset the whole PRESENTATION (not desired effect!!!). to not be able to reset an embedded prototype in a presentation seems like a big miss and I hope theres some way you folks may know of to get around this issue? I may have to make a hidden square on each prototype frame to bring the prototype back to first frame… but I really shouldnt have to do thi

When I use Material Symbols and reduce the size the outline will shrink according to the icons overall size. When using icons that are strokes (unlike Material Symbols) they shrink keeping the stroke size which is too think. If I use the scale tool it works. But I am using an Icon wrapper with different sizes. Is there a way to get the stroked icons to work in a icon wrapper resizing down?Thanks!

Hello, Since a few days, when going to main component in library, it shows me the good page, but focus is not set on the selected component. Is it a bug? something mine? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your help! I am a novice. I have been following tutorials of awesome designers- which has been a BIG help! Much appreciation to them for sharing their talents!I was able to use a tutorial and paste my own design.This is the tutorial:https://www.figma.com/design/mYVUhtDXWyGnK6aWmgzru4/-Youtube-Video---31.03.23--Spinning-Carousel-Tutorial?node-id=0-1&p=f&t=hhTYopoUcPzV8Wmp-0Here is the youtube so you can see the final result:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2ro7Lom0OY&t=77sHere is The tutorial screenshot: Example AThis is the prototype: Example BThis is what I have created below: Example CThis is my website BELOW- and I want to incorporate the Final result of the tutorial (Example A) into the empty white box of my website below ( Example D.)

Hi ,I dont have ai features even in my Figma application even the basic one and i have no idea how to stand in the line of AI features to join!!!  

Just set up my first Figma site and am really impressed how easy it was. However, I want to be able to add some custom code and host on my personal site. I tried copying over the code, but the folder structure of files is crazy. Is there any way to do this?

Hey everyone,I’m currently working on the mobile version of our underwater survival game, Subnautica, and we’re in the early stages of prototyping UI/UX flows in Figma.The biggest challenge so far is adapting the immersive PC/console experience—inventory management, oxygen alerts, crafting, and 3D navigation—into a clean and intuitive mobile layout. I’ve been using interactive components and auto-animate to prototype key screens like the PDA, quick slots, and resource crafting menus, but syncing those interactions (especially multi-layer overlays and context-sensitive controls) is proving tricky. I’m also referencing tools like the (subnautica mobile version from Subnautica).Has anyone tackled similar survival/exploration-based mobile UI in Figma? How do you handle complex HUDs or dynamic feedback elements like health/oxygen meters while keeping the interface clean and touch-friendly?Would love to hear your workflows or plugin recommendations for simulating real in-game interactions—dr

Is it possible with the Figma API to get the json of a file from a specific branch

Hi everyone, I’m working as a Design System Designer in a large organization, and I’m setting up a starter Figma file that Product Designers can duplicate to begin their work immediately, with all the correct libraries already activated (core components, design tokens, etc.). The goal is simple: designers should be able to duplicate this starter file and start working without having to reconfigure or manually activate libraries. I created the starter file in a shared team project and made sure the required libraries were activated. However, when someone duplicates the file (via right-click > Duplicate or Duplicate to Drafts), all the library connections are lost. Designers then have to go to the Assets panel and re-enable the libraries manually, which is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. I also tried:  Placing the starter file in a shared project and giving “Can view” access → duplication still loses the libraries. Publishing the file publicly in Community is not an option for int

Setup: Foundations library which contains all color variables (and currently 4 modes, 1 deleted mode (The Grape Brand)). The Foundations library is used in a Components library and several design files The Components library is also used in the same design files Issue When i’m in my Components file and select variable mode on page level it shows 5 modes (4 current and 1 old mode) and except for the default mode it shows exclamations marks behind all of them. When i’m in the Components file but select a layer and change the mode on layer level I see the 4 correct modes and no exclamation marks. If I open a design file which uses both the Components and Foundations library I get the 4 correct modes and no exclamation marks on both page and layer level. It’s not that big an issue that I cannot change the mode on page level for the Components library file but i’d rather have it resolved. Anyone have any idea what’s going on? Especially why the mode “The Grape Brand” is still showin

I have one Figma file that includes multiple projects.Each project has its own set of variables and design tokens.I noticed that even when I use different collections and scopes, the tokens are still visible across the entire file.Is there a way to completely separate or hide variables between projects inside the same file?Or should I create separate files/libraries for each project to manage them cleanly? 

You know this feature to let AI replace the content when duplicating a frame several times? Good stuff! But is there a way to prevent the AI from trying to replace certain text layers?

When I used to copy-paste links to our (publicly available) ticketing system onto the FigJam board, it showed them as cards with headers, so I could easily cluster them on the board and find them via text search.But now it doesn’t seem to work anymore, all links just show up as links.On the screenshot below you see links added previously show up as cards, and newly added links showing up as just links.Did something change in FigJam, or is it somehow related to our ticketing system? 

 I think it’s from somewhere of view settings of Figma since these purple rectangles didn't show up when i firstly made the whole design. it’s can’t be moved by hands either… and only this file has this issue

Hi everyone,I'm facing an issue in the Figma desktop app where the fill color is not applying to shapes when they are placed inside a frame. I’ve tried selecting multiple colors and different shapes, but the fill just doesn’t show up within the frame.When I draw the same shape outside the frame, the color applies correctly. But as soon as I move it inside a frame, the color disappears or won’t apply at all.Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting I might be missing in the frame or something else that could be causing this?Appreciate any help—thanks in advance!
