The interface changed this morning, and there used to be a navigation on the top and you can click through different pages of the website in design mode, and preview/make changes. It now disappeared! Help please, how do I preview different pages now?

I want to be billed for only 1 seat but the invoice shows more seats. I have  already removed other users but is still being billed for multiple seats. I am seeking clarification and resolution to only pay for 1 seat. I want to update my existing invoice to just 1 seat not 2. 

Hello,I’m trying to  build a repsonsive barchart with bars and a XY axis labels like this: To make the bars overlap the graph labels and dotted lines I have the bars as a fixed position.What I cant do is make this responsive. When stretched the fixed postion bars do not respond to the new width. So it looks like this: Fixed bar positionIs there a way to have the Y value of the bars fixed but have the width fill?

I want to delete only the “IU ORANGE” but somehow I can’t right click, does anyone has any advice? 

Figma Make has the ability to allow users to make unique pages. I’ve used this in several projects. When I duplicated project, the function disappears from the top toolbar. Why is this? How do I get it back?  

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 that explains this window in any amount of depth?Has this UI been updated since the Help center articles were written?I could try to list all my questions in this forum post but I have a lot, and there might be stuff I dont know that I dont know. I need this window explained to me like I’m 5 😭🙏 Something HAS to exist somewhere out there, right?

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?

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.

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 

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 scaling the icon would solve this, but I have an icon set including the right sizes as variants which I want to utilize. Thanks!

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

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  

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 cooperate and provide clarification. I kindly request a review of my account and would greatly appreciate it if this case could be escalated to the

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 Je n’ai plus accès Nous ne savons pas qui reçoit les demandes d’accès Il sembl

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!

Hi!I’m having an issue with colours not displaying correctly when I use the desktop app on my second monitor.I have my laptop (Dell XPS 15, Windows 11) extended to a monitor (ViewSonic VX3211-2K-mhd). On my laptop there are no problems but when I move the window to the second monitor, the entire app doesn’t display colours properly. This seems to be happening only with the Figma desktop app- all other apps I’ve checked show the correct colour profile, including Figma in the browser. You can also see below that when I screenshot the window, the colours are still altered.Laptop screen - Correct coloursMonitor screen - Colours on canvas and interface displaying incorrectlyAdditionally, when I move the window so that it’s partially on the desktop screen, there seems to be a point/boundary where the colour profile switches.Correct colour profile (Red line shows divide between screens)Incorrect colour profile This post essentially describes the same issue I’m having but the fix didn’t work f

Hello, I’ve been working on my online clothing store catalog (view-only, no add-to-cart or payment options) on Figma Sites for the past few weeks, and it’s now in the final phase. I’ve published the website, and everything works perfectly except for the product images. Here is the link to my prototype: https://akaipieces.com. For now, only the NEW IN button works. When you click NEW IN, a list of products appears. If you select a product, everything works fine. However, when you go back to the product list and choose another item, the images don’t load the first time. They only appear after refreshing the page. This happens with every subsequent product. I’m using the CMS system to manage information for 25 products. Has anyone experienced this issue before? I’ve tried everything I can think of, but the bug is still there. Thank you very much for your help!
