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 A

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

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” a

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

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!

I'm building a responsive alert banner and trying to achieve a behavior similar to fit-content in CSS. Here's what I need: The banner container stretches to 100% width, Inside, there's a button and a text label, The text should stay on one line and hug its content until it reaches the limit of the container, Once it can't fit anymore, it should wrap onto multiple lines (essentially behave like fill). Think of it as:"hug content until there's no space left → then behave like fill".This should happen dynamically, depending on the container width,so no fixed max width.Is th

I just wanna ask if where can I access the variable. It says here Draw but I never converted my files to FigJam it just automatically turned like this.

Hey all! Super new here. I have seen others in my industry use Figma to create table layouts for restaurants. I am leafing through videos and documents but still haven't been able to land on my answer. I would love to either build tables or use some open source icons to build a table layout. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go to find these tables that can be modified and resized or perhaps it would be better to create my own. Just need some foundational ideas and I can run with the rest. Thanks in advance. 

Hi all, Asking here for help to solve a following conundrum please:In Design File A i have a local library with a components (all works fine with instances)In Design File B i have that library added and if use an instance it does not render variants correctly at all. Material UI TAB instance was used my custom component.This is the correct way:  This is what i see if i insert the same instance with the same variant in the Design File B:   Any guidance would be appreciated : )Benevolently, Natasha

Hello,It’s been a while since I’ve had to build a component, so please forgive me if its a daft question.When creating variants, in a the properties panel of aninstance you can flip between variants/boolean.However, using variables, that doesn’t seem possible.I’m creating a dropdown menu, and trying to expose all the properties for easy editing.I don’t see a way to include the variable setting.Suggestions? 

Hello! Wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I’ve been using Google Sheets Sync in figma for over a year now, suddenly is stopped working and is giving me the message “There was an error fetching. Try again later” I didn’t change anything since the last time I used it, i’ve tried restricting the google sheet and re-opening it up.  I use this to create labels for my orders and it’s extremely helpful. Thank you.

Hello,a small bug appeared with the last update.I am on desktop app.It triggers when I order my components via the flow tool:- during a vertical flow, it orders my components horizontally- during a horizontal flow, it orders my components vertically.don’t know if I am the only one with this bug…In the hope that this can be resolved with the next update.Thank

I understand how the Embed Kit allows us to embed a Figma Prototype within a webpage rendered inside a standard browser. The authentication is handled via Cookies within this browser (as far as my understanding goes).I would like to embed Figma Prototypes that are not necessarily public in my mobile app using e.g. a WebView. In this case, I can not access the cookies from the standard browser. Is there a way (ideally similar to the REST API OAuth flow) to obtain a Figma session within my WebView so users can view their prototypes there? Are there other (secure) workarounds to allow my users to view their (nonpublic) prototypes within my WebView?
