In figma make, I have a design. I have it so it has a rendered version number on the the page (see screenshot).Is there a prompt I can use that asks figma make to always update the version to be the same as it's own internal version reference number? (eg)  

Hi everyone,I’m currently designing in Sketch on my desktop, and I upload those files to Figma for collaboration. What I’d like to do is upload a new version of a Sketch file over an existing Figma file — essentially replacing the old file without creating a new one each time.Does Figma allow direct overwriting of files from Sketch, or is there a workaround or recommended approach for keeping the file updated in the same Figma location without duplicating or manually transferring everything each time.Thanks!

Hi, I have a component with an animation in it that runs automatically (after delay). When I use an instance of my component in a Figma slide, it only animates the first time the slide opens. I want it to run everytime the slide opens. Can this be done somehow?

Hi, is there a way in Figma to create an inner gradient (or blend)? It should go from 100% to 0% opacity like this example. 

Hello everyone,I’ve stumbled upon a rather frustrating issue when exporting frames to JPG — and I wonder if anyone has experienced the same, or has a clue where to dig.When I export a frame to JPG (doesn’t matter whether it’s @1x, @2x, or @3x), I keep seeing strange artifacts. Specifically: it looks as if some pixels shift places — like tiny glitches — and what’s most odd, they appear in different places depending on the export scale.All positions of my artboard and all the objects inside the frame are aligned to whole numbers (e.g., 2412 instead of 2412.54). I double-checked all coordinates — no fractions hiding anywhere.Yet, the exported JPG shows these random pixel-level misalignments, and it’s making me a little… poetic with frustration.Has anyone else encountered this? Could this be a rendering bug, or am I missing something subtle?Looking forward to your thoughts and wisdom — and may your pixels stay aligned.Thank you!upd. I noticed this problem on Windows, but not on Mac...

I’m trying to publish an bugfix update of our plugin, and the Publish plugin window displays the error “Please enable two-factor authentication to publish this plugin”. Our company uses SSO, and does not have two-factor enabled. The support page at https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042293394-Publish-a-plugin-to-the-Community says You need to have two-factor authentication enabled to publish plugins, including publishing updates to existing plugins. You won’t need to use two-factor authentication if you sign in to Figma via SAML SSO or Google SSO. But I can’t find any further information about how to publish the update without enabling two-factor.

Hi, team; I’m trying to access my Figma account. The log-in email is x***@**.edu, as I already lost access to this email, I cannot verify the account and log in to my Figma. Could you help me get access to this account, or can I update my email address from your end? I submitted two requested and they were automatically marked as solved. Thank you

I just setup my first site in figma sites. I’m using godaddy for registrar and DNS. www.site_name.com works perfectlyhttps://site_name.com does not direct to the figma siteHow do I set things up so that both the www and not-www point to figma?  

Hello. I have recieved notification on email that my student plan expires in 4 weeks, though it has been only 1 year since i’ve registered in figma and i also verified my edu plan this year. I have read that student plan is valid for 2 years, so why mine expires so soon? 

Hi everyone. I’m still a beginner in Figma and I have been trying to create an interactive map to put as an embedding element on a website.I was trying to make use of the hover effect so the image will be changed into different colour to emphasise it. The problem is the boarder lines between countries - as the components cannot be placed on the same layer, the overlapping boarder will not be shown properly with the selected component. Please see below.Is there any way to fix this or how should I add layer to it? Thanks a lot!

I want to design website like this Apkvise and this is the article page please tell me is it possible.

Hi, I recently logged into my Figma and it shows I’m on the Education plan but I'm not sure what is the expiration date. I read that it lasts for 2 years, but is it possible to know the exact date as I don’t want to suddenly get logged out from my school project while I'm in the midst of it. I tried asking chatbot and it says I’m on a starter plan. So I’m a bit confuse and unsure.

Hello, all, my name is Marina.I am a graphic designer lives in Greece.I have also background in web design.The last year  decoded to transit to UX/UI Design.I have finished the Google course and started getting into deep learning of Figma.I have started with a web site for an African NGO that is called KIRC.I have watched plenty of videos and tried to practice in “auto layout” and figure out how I can create a responsive web page.I realised that there must be two ways :Either create frames for different devices or create frames and component with “auto layout”.Can you help me to clear this in my mind and follow a clear pat?Here is the link of my web page:  Have a nice day.Marina

I haven’t used Invision in a while. When I recently wanted to check out some old projects (~2019) for my portfolio, I realized that all my prototypes in the Studio App was gone. Customer support informed me that the app was fully deactiated and removed back in jan 2023. I have the .studio source files on a harddrive. Is there any was to convert/import these projects and open them in Figma (or Adobe XD/any other software)?? I would so so so appreciate any tips and help! It would really suck if all my projects are gone for good… Thank you!!

How can you set the default starting page on Figma Sites for prototyping? For some reason, whenever I test out the prototype, the default starting page is ‘about us’ and I want it to be ‘home’.

Hi,I tried to update my simple Plugin, which I originally added back in 2022. Unfortunately, I got an error which is blocking the update. I also noticed that when I click on the “Permissions” tab the dialog box closes right away. So I don’t know if there is missing something.I also don’t use the E-Mail address anymore, which I added back in 2022. I have no access to it anymore. Instead, I would like to change to the one I use in my account.Any idea what is going wrong?Thanks, Danny  

So I have tried prototyping the keyboard, but i dont understand how can i do it? Some people say that figma is not a great tool to do that. What should I do?

Everytime I leave Figma window to go to another window, I get this “New available font: Raleway” notifications. Why is this happening? How do i turn it off?

Hello everyone, I’ve created icons, all vector layers with the same name, and every icon has a variant of sizes - small (16px) medium (24)and large (32). They also have round/sharp Boolean property. I’ve created buttons, also with size variants with matching names and sizes. There’s also variant for only label, only icon, left icon and right icon. There’s also instance swap for every icon size. I also have the icon as nested instance. So I take an instance of the button and I change its size, then I change the icon - lets say from “search” to “plus” for example - but if I want to change the size of the button, the instance swap return to its default icon instance. What should I do, or what did I do wrong?

The constrast checker it’s great, but it’ll also be super usefull to have the option to switch the two  elements you need to compare, because right now automatically compares only with background.  For example, if I have a button and I need to compare the text color with the button color but I don’t want to change the text color, just the button color, how can I tell the tool to compare with the foreground and not with the background of the button?. Somebody knows?
