Hello! I am somewhat new designing stuff in Figma, and I have an issue with some animations.I animated a velocimeter in the Motion section to play just when clicking on it, but every time I open an overlay on the same page it triggers the animation to start all over again. I don’t really know how to stop it, and need some help because I couldn’t find any info about this issue.

Hi Figma Support,I'm unable to create a GitHub repository from Figma Make.The error is simply:"Could not create repository"I have already tried the following: Disconnected GitHub from Figma Make Fully closed Figma and the browser Opened a fresh Microsoft Edge session Reconnected GitHub Re-authorized the Figma GitHub integration Tried creating a completely new repository name, including "john" Confirmed that the repository name is not already in use The same "Could not create repository" error occurs every time.My Figma Make project is approximately 28 MB, so the project size is relatively small.I previously also saw 400/403/404 errors in the browser console related to the Figma Make/GitHub integration.Could you please check whether there is an issue with the GitHub repository creation API or my Figma account's GitHub integration and escalate this to the Technical Quality team if necessary?Thank you.

I am experiencing a bug with an icon placeholder component that uses 5 different size variants.The issue starts in the Assets panel, where the component thumbnail already appears flipped/inverted. When I drag the component onto the canvas and use the Instance Swap property to select a designated Preferred Value, the nested icon automatically flips or rotates incorrectly.It seems like Figma is not preserving the true orientation during the instance swap across variant sizes.

Hi! Apparently I pressed some keyboard shortcut and the names of my frames became very small. They are like this in all files, nothing helps to bring everything back.Please help me fix this  

My Figma updated from the old Edit Content panel to the new Bulk Edit view. When opening Bulk Edit, every single layer appears, whether it’s editable or not. The non-editable fields can’t be interacted with, while the editable ones can.Right now, I have to horizontally scroll through all fields just to find the editable ones.I know you can manually filter and unselect fields in Bulk Edit, but is there a way to configure this at the master template level so those settings apply to anyone who uses the file in the future?

does the limit of the timeline in motion only stops at 2000ms? if so then what’s the point of having an ability to zoom out all the way above 20000ms?(edit) nevermind, apparently there’s a form right beside the current timeline position to choose the max duration for it, it's just for some reason written in grey, i thought it’s unclickable

whats the best way to organize a game sheet in figma

Hello,  I recently submitted my public OAuth app for review, and have included a testing URL and detailed instructions for the team to test with, but I had a fundamental question about testing - if the app is not approved, that means the OAuth flow will only work for my own account (i.e. the same account that submitted the app). For the OAuth flow to work for any other Figma login, the app has to be published in public mode. If that is the case, how will the review team be able to test the app before it is approved? What am I missing here?

Olá, pessoal!Estou trabalhando em um projeto que precisa oferecer diferentes temas, como claro e escuro, e estou pensando em usar variáveis do Figma para organizar cores, espaçamentos e outros valores de forma mais eficiente.Qual é a melhor maneira de estruturar essas variáveis para evitar duplicação e facilitar a manutenção do projeto? Também gostaria de saber como vocês organizam os modos dentro das coleções de variáveis quando o projeto começa a crescer.Alguma recomendação de boas práticas ou fluxo de trabalho que tenha funcionado bem para vocês?

Hi, this is my first time submitting a plugin, I understand that the review can take up to 12 days. I’m curi or more. Just curious about where I can check the status and get to know when my plugin gets reviewed. Thank You!  

I want to know if it is advisable to design printables like Rollup banners, outdoor flyers and billboard in Figma? If so how can I export my designs so they come out sharp when printed? 

Hi Figma Team / Community, I'm experimenting with the Variables REST API (POST /v1/files/:file_key/variables) and trying to understand the behavior when updating string variables across different modes. My SetupVariable Collection {  "name": "Localization",  "collectionId": "VariableCollectionId:40000196:4269"} ModesMode Name Mode ID EN 40000196:0 DE 40000196:1 Mode 40000200:0 EN is the default mode for this collection. Variables Variable 1 - Bound Variable{  "variableId": "VariableID:40000200:3754",  "name": "suite",  "type": "STRING"}Current values:{  "EN": "ABC_EN",  "DE": "123",  "Mode": "Mode"}This variable is bound to text content in the design.  Variable 2 - Unbound Variable{  "variableId": "VariableID:40000221:57715",  "name": "New_Variable_Str",  "type": "STRING"}Current values:{  "EN": "ABC_EN",  "DE": "ABC_DE",  "Mode": ""}This variable is currently not bound to any node. What WorksI'm able to update the EN mode value for the bound variable (suite) using the foll

When I draw a straight line, the coordinate of the line remains on the edge even when i set the stroke position to centre. This make it difficult to align perfectly. See this example where I am making a cross. Alignment is imperfect even when I use the align tools. You can see the bounding box of the line is on the edge rather than the centre. Can I fix this?Object aligns to the selection bounding box rather than centre of line. This is the result of align both lines with the position align options. I’m trying to make a perfect cross, this is the result. 

Hi, I am completely stuck on a prototype scaling issue and need some help.My SVG logo was rendering massively in my prototype, so I completely deleted it and started fresh. Here are the exact steps I took: Deleted the old logo completely from the layers panel. Re-imported the SVG onto the canvas. Selected the Parent Frame of the SVG. Used the Scale Tool (K) to shrink it down (the blue bounding box scaled correctly). Nested the scaled layer inside my "Landing Page - Desktop" frame. Hit Present to test the prototype. Despite doing all of this, the prototype is still showing a massive, cut-off version of the logo (just the giant pink letters).Is this a known bug in Figma? How do I get the prototype to actually respect the scaled logo size?

I have a plugin which is in live. I have used manifest file to install the plugin and published it. Now i have upgraded the plugin, i tested it locally and i wanted to update that to my live plugin using manifest. How to do that?

Recently, I tried to animate my logo in Figma Motion. All the elements were separated into vector layers, and I wanted the red circle to act as a mask that gradually reveals the entire letter as it expands. However, I couldn't get the circle to scale correctly, and the canvas handles were also unresponsive.

Hello Figma Team,Last month, I made a payment of $5.50 USD on July 29, 2026 because I wanted to use more of Figma’s features.However, this month I was suddenly charged a total of $30.51 USD. I did not request or approve any plan change, so I was very surprised by this unexpected charge.As a student, $30.51 USD is a significant financial burden for me, and I would like to request a refund.After the payment was made, I cancelled the plan and have not used the paid features. I would really appreciate it if you could process a refund for this charge.Please understand that I used a translator to write this message, so there may be some awkward wording.Thank you.

I’m trying to get an auto layout frame with two text boxes in it expand upwards when text is added, and have the text stay aligned to the top of the box, rather than extend the box downwards.I can get this working with the text only by changing the auto layout alignment, but as soon as I fill the frame with a colour, it doesn’t seem to work.The reason for this is I need keep the horizontal gap consistent across the image, so effectively, the top two boxes (red and blue) expand upwards when text is added, and the bottom two boxes (yellow and green) expand downwards.The current build I’ve got them to expand downwards only, so the horizontal gap breaks if the boxes are different heights. I’m using auto layout on the left and right columns, which are then in an auto layout with the heading to make sure everything stays central in the image when text is added.The images - first pic is the template with nothing added. Second pic is how it works now, final pic is how I want it to look when te

I've finished a plugin and I'm ready to publish it as paid, but the Price field on thefinal publish screen is disabled and cannot be clicked.1. I'm publishing as an individual creator (Taisui Labs), not a team or organization.2. The file is in my personal Drafts, not in a team folder.3. Plugin ID: 1675716590491497495. Plan: Starter (free). Country: Malaysia.4. Malaysia is listed in Figma's supported creator payout countries.I'm aware of the pause on new paid sellers, but Tom Reem clarified on 3 August 2026 inthis forum that it applies to paid files only: "The pause on new sellers applies to paidfiles. Selling plugins is open — the only requirement is being able to set up a Stripeaccount in a Stripe-supported country."In that same thread, Platform Support completed the setup for the creator by email.Could you do the same for my account so I can set a price?

Hi,just thought I’d check, is this a legit email? The address seems to come from figma, but the sender is not a word/phrase which I recognise (and neither did google)Thanks in advance![Redacted PII - DJV 9/2/2026]
