We’ve built a large design library in our organization account that many internal teams use.Sometimes, we also work with external vendors (like agencies or freelancers) who need to use this library and get updates regularly. Because we’re a large corporation, it’s not practical to add them as paid seats just for a short project – the approval and payment process is too complex.What’s the best way right now to share a library with people outside the organization so they can actually use the components (not just view them)?Is exporting the library as a .fig file really the only option – even though that means they won’t get any future updates?Thanks!

I’m encountering an issue when trying to publish an urgent update to my Figma plugin.Plugin name: 批量修改字体字号 Batch Font Size ModifierPlugin link:https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1445383264057474829/batch-font-size-modifierWhen I attempt to publish the update, I receive the following error message:“Fix errors before publishing. We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin.”I believe this issue may be related to a recent change in my account details, but I’m unable to find any way to resolve or verify this on my end.

I used a published library for my figma make file.I did some work.I exported the design and pasted into Figma. But the components it supposedly used from the Design System / Library didn’t come across but pastes in just as figma elements.Is this correct?

Hello everyone, I have a doubt. In my brand palette file, I’d like to have a “Brand palette” and an “Infographic palette”, which would include much more shades. For the “Brand palette”, I created specific variables, but now I’m wondering if in the same file I can create also variables for the “Infographic palette”.Also, when using the library in other file, I’d like to be able to select the palette I wanna see between these two.Do you think it is possible or do I have to create two different libraries?Thank you!

Is there a way in Figma to adjust all the typography in a group of text elements at once, instead of having to select each element individually?(In the group are just text elements.)When I select the group with multiple text elements in same typo, the typo settings won’t be shown.When I select all text elements auf a group via cmd + shift / mark, same behaviour.Only in case I select elements which are not part of a group via cmd + shift or I select the text elements one by one with shift, I can adjust the typo settings. However, I would like to select a group of text elements and change them directly all together.

Dear Community, I have been exploring the possibilities of Figma Sites and I have encountered a big problem.I have made a Design System as I usually do, and made some page layout that work perfectly in Figma Design. But, when I add the library to Figma Sites and import af button with a “while hovering” and “while pressing” state, the buttons never goes back to the original state after hovering it. It a simple component with the 3 states of the button. Is there a fix for this? 

Hi Community, Ones i had created the skeleton loader and clicked on preview it dose animate. but when i use Lottie file plugin it only comes as a flat jpeg without any animation. 

Hello, I have two plugins that have been posted on the figma platform for several years. This morning, all users suddenly said that our plugins couldn't be found in the resource community. I hope your team can provide me with a specific explanation of the reasons for taking down these two plugins of mine. And apply to restore these two plugins to the figma platform. The following are the addresses of the two plugins I developed：https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1000018270921149282/lanhuhttps://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1045276346404842107/lanhu 

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

別ファイルでデザインスタイルのファイルを作成しました。作成したテキストスタイルを、すでにデザイン作成している他ファイルに一括変換で反映したいです。すでにデザインで当てているテキストにも、変更内容が適切に変換されるようにしたいと思っています。良い方法がないか教えていただきたいです。

Is it possible to connect to the Remote Figma MCP server from your own client? To be specific, could I build an Agentic system that connects to the Remote Figma server, takes in a link to the Figma design and generates the code for that design using the output from Figma's MCP toolset?

 Hello everyone Since the update for the Figma site came out, I've been wondering how to run a carousel, whether based on an image or text. The Figma site doesn't support on drag. What solutions have you been providing for this? I have prototyped many complex carousels where each slide change causes radical changes to the page, something that excites me a lot when browsing, now how do I bring this to the Figma website?  

I've created a Figma plugin that works well for my own use, but I'm concerned about sharing it with my team because the code is readable to anyone who accesses it. Is there an option to encrypt the plugin or export it in a binary format to protect the source code? I want to prevent others from being able to view or modify the code while still allowing them to use the plugin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, how can I use variables to drag a slider and have the input value change with the slider position? Thanks! 

We have an old Figma design system built on variants from about four years ago.Since Figma moved toward variables, it doesn’t really work properly anymore.We’re looking for plugins or tools (paid is totally fine) that can help us migrate to variables without rebuilding everything from scratch. 

Hi everyone, I’m working on a project in Figma Make and really enjoying the workflow, but I’m stuck on one important point: how do you share a prototype created in Figma Make?I can’t find any option to generate a shareable link or access a Prototype mode, and I’m not sure whether this is a limitation of Figma Make or if there’s a specific step required to export or transfer the work into Figma Design.Could someone clarify whether it’s possible to share a prototype built in Make, and if so, what the correct process is?Thanks in advance for your help.

IF I CLOSE AND OPEN AGAIN NOTHING IS SAVED

In Figma Site, I’m working on a carousel that previews various animations and I want them to be linked through LottieFiles, as the page is getting super heavy due to numerous assets.  I create the carousel frames with the lottiefiles embed in it and as soon as I make these frames a component, the LottieFiles element is thrown out of the component. Is there a way for the LottieFiles to be embedded in components?

Hi, I’m a Figma subscriber and have been using it to build decks in Figma Slides. I’m loving the experience, with a key caveat. I can’t get anything to show up in my Assets folder. Only the AI tools are available. Even default actions like ‘Build a table’ that Figma docs say should be available are not. Let alone basic icons and such to pull in. When I click ‘Assets’ there’s nothing.Can someone help? I have a presentation due in the coming days and need to figure this out. It says I need to ‘add’ a library but shouldn’t there be default actions and icons in here??How do i add a table??    

Hi!I have to organize a workshop and I have to invite, more or less, 30 people to a Figjam file.My plan is the free one and I can’t find any online informations about this: how many people can edit on a Figjam file I created with the free plan?

Hi guys, how are you? I'm facing the following problem: yesterday I got an email saying that my seat request was declined (even though I've been able to access the team as a guest for 5 months now) and after it all my drafts and the team access were gone. Today my company managed to put me back on the team (still as a guest) but my drafts are still gone. I've found a link to one of my old files but I had to request access (???) and no one has managed to allow it (in fact no one even got the request). So what's going on? Did I lose my drafts forever or not? Is this a bug or we're just not looking at the right place? Chat with Fig says the missing drafts should be on Admin > Content > Unassigned drafts but the admins haven't found it yet. Help me get my files back, pleaseeeeeeeeee.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to showcase my prototype in a presentation adding screen recording of the app. Unfortunatly it doesn't work because it's lagging. I tried also changing fps on After Effect, but it doesn't work.  Do you have any advice ? 

I've been chasing this for a week now and I can't just figure it out. Here's my set up: Component 1: Heading, Paragraph, Button All these elements have Boolean properties that can toggle their ON/OFF. Each one of them are components themselves holding properties such as weight, size and colour. Component 2: 4 Component 1 in a row I am trying to set the component 2 so that I can toggle ON/OFF all the headings, paragraphs and buttons at once I just can't do it. If I select the Component 1 nested instance element (i.e. Heading) in Component 2, under appearance I see the Boolean property correctly but I can't do anything with it. If I select the whole Component 1 nested instance I can see the Heading / Paragraph / Button component properties, but the only thing I can do is link them to a variable, not to a Component 2 property (my plan was to create a "Show heading" Boolean and link the nested Component 1 instances properties to it). I tried to create a Boolean Variable and while I can lin

Hi folks, looking for advice from people who’ve built or scaled multi-brand / white-label design systems. We have a large master design system and need to support multiple brands on top of it. What we’re trying to achieve:  One single source of truth for components Ability to evolve master components (add variants, change structure, etc.) All brands should inherit those updates automatically Colors, images, and other visual styles should come from brand-specific configs Avoid component duplication and version drift  The mental model we’re aiming for:  Structure & behavior → master design system Visual identity / theming → brand level  Questions:  Have you done something similar? What worked best for you: tokens, variables, nested libraries, overrides? Any major pitfalls or things you wish you’d done differently early on?  Real-world experience or links to solid write-ups would be much appreciated 🙌

To anyone using Figma across multiple client organizations (e.g., at a design agency):In the Figma Desktop App, it is difficult to recognize which organization is currently "active" across multiple tabs. This leads to a critical risk: accidentally creating a new file in a client’s workspace when it was intended for another organization.Because Figma defaults the "active context" to the last one visited, a simple shortcut or clicking the "+" tab can result in hosting internal or sensitive data in the wrong workspace.Is there any technical workaround or structural solution to make organization boundaries more rigid in the Desktop App?We have already tried manual workarounds such as: Opening different client projects in separate windows. Using different browser profiles with specific colors to distinguish Orgs. However, these are not ideal. In a fast-paced agency environment, relying on a designer's "manual vigilance" is not a sustainable solution to prevent this security risk.Relying o
