Why animations start by their own, how to control them in prototype mode? I just wanted to create opening menu, but how - OK, placed animated menu component inside main screen, and then it starts to play indefinitely - I just expected simple “Pause at load” feature :/  

Hi everyoneI’m currently working on a simple grade calculator UI (something like a GWA calculator), and I’m trying to keep the input experience clean and easy to understand for students.The challenge I’m facing: Users need to input multiple subjects, and for each one:Grade (numeric) Units / weightThen the system calculates a weighted average.It sounds simple, but the UI starts to feel cluttered when:There are many subjects Users need to add/remove rows Inputs start looking repetitiveWhat I’ve tried:Basic table layout → works but feels a bit “heavy” Card-style inputs → cleaner, but takes too much space Minimal rows with “+ Add Subject” → better, but still not fully intuitiveI also checked how existing tools structure this kind of input (for example: https://gwa-calculator-phi.vercel.app/), and it helped me understand the flow but I still feel the UI could be improved from a design perspective.Would love your thoughts on this:How would you structure repeated inputs like this without over

I've been working on the UX for a dream journal experience and found that the biggest challenge isn't writing the entry—it's helping users capture their thoughts before they forget them.Some of the design questions I'm exploring are:How can the first screen reduce friction immediately after waking up? Should users be encouraged to write freely first, or guided with prompts like emotions, symbols, and recurring themes? What's the best way to visualize recurring dream patterns without overwhelming the interface? Would timeline views, tags, or searchable symbols make reviewing old entries more useful? If AI-generated insights are included, how would you present them so they feel helpful rather than distracting?I'm especially interested in hearing how you would approach:Information architecture Mobile-first journaling UX Dashboard and data visualization Accessibility for low-light or bedtime use Empty states and onboardingI'd love to hear how other designers would structure a dream journal

Hello community,I'm redesigning the graphics for my event organizing business, including hero banners, icons, category graphics, and promotional visuals. My goal is to give the site a more modern look while keeping everything visually consistent.For those who've done a similar refresh in Figma, how do you keep all of your graphics aligned with the same style? Do you build a small design system first, create reusable components, or follow another workflow?I'd love to hear how you approach this.

Hi everyone,I’m a student and was looking to build some freemium Figma plugins on the side. But since I am not really a Figma designer myselfTo do that, I need to know what the community actually needs right now:-What is the biggest, most tedious annoyance in your everyday Figma workflow?-Is there a repetitive task you desperately wish could be automated?-What tool or feature feels completely missing right now?If you have any ideas, pain points, or dream features you'd like to see built, I would appreciate your advice. Feel free to comment or email me at figma@cyberdesk.top.P.S. As a quick side note, I recently launched my first plugin, Perceivable, which checks and auto-fixes WCAG accessibility issues (contrast, target size, alt text, etc.). It runs fully locally, so no file data leaves your machine.I'm still giving away lifetime Pro keys in exchange for feedback. If you're interested in testing it on your real work, email perceivable@cyberdesk.top.Plugin link if you want to check it

This features used to exist. The support and help database says it exists… but it does not. The instructions are out of date...OR…..the functionality or feature has been removed.Not happy.

Is there a video out there someone can point me to that shows step-by-step how to create configurable templates in Figma Buzz?I see this one but it’s moving too fast and seems commercial-based, not really educational. I also am looking into the Figma learn pages but nothing is pointing to  a step-by-step guide on building at least one of these out from beginning to end. Do I use auto layout in these component sets? Do I create each template version in its own page? What’s the pages set up look like? Can I still use the bulk-create feature if I place multiple of these “component sets” in one grid-view?Any best practices on how to prep my figma design files (besides the standard “use constraints” “ use auto layout” etc., verbiage would be great. I know I need to do that, but when I do, it’s not working when I translate one template size to another template size.Thanks so much!  

I'm currently designing an ecommerce product page in Figma for PreReq Care, a skincare brand focused on products for tweens and teens. The challenge has been balancing a clean, minimal layout while still communicating key product benefits without overwhelming visitors.For a hydrating face mist product, we're highlighting information such as:Key ingredients with simple icons Product benefits in a quick-to-scan layout Mobile-first spacing and typography Clear visual hierarchy for product images and CTAs Trust elements like dermatologist-vetted messaging and refillable packagingOne thing I'm experimenting with is reducing large blocks of text into smaller feature cards so shoppers can quickly understand what the product does.For designers who build ecommerce experiences in Figma:How do you organize product information without making the page feel cluttered? Do you prefer feature cards, comparison tables, or icon-based sections? What techniques have improved conversions while keeping the i

 My goal is to create various template sizes:LinkedIn / Meta: 1080×1080 6Sense / Google: 300 x 250 / 300 x 600 / 160 x 600 / 728 x 90 / 320 x 50 / 300 x 60 Email: 848 x 244 and 848 × 244 In Figma Buzz, I want to be able to go from:1080 x 1080 > 300 x 250 > 300 x 600 848 x 244 > 848 × 244 728 x 90 > 320 x 50 > 300 x 60 In Figma Buzz, the issues I’m having:I have a triangle vector shape with 3 layers (3 different colors) and when I change the template size from 1080 > 300, that vector shape doesn’t adjust accordingly. I’ve created a flatten version of it, created a component and set the comp to scale/scale, nothing is working. What constraints am I supposed to be using for vector shapes that are group and that have been turned into a component? I made sure that the inner most layers are set to scale. I tested using a png of the same image and For the logo that is going on each of the templates, when I change the template size the logo moves slightly out of its position.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?For every newly created Figma file, the comment notification setting appears to default to “Nothing” for everyone except the file owner. As a result, non-owner team members are no longer receiving any comment notifications unless they manually change the notification setting for each individual file.All of our team members have their account-level notification settings configured to receive all notifications. Until recently, we had never seen new files default to “Nothing,” and our team members generally received comment notifications as expected.However, starting sometime this week, it seems that no one except the file owner has been receiving any comment notifications from newly created files. We have not knowingly changed any account, team, workspace, or notification settings.Does anyone know what might be causing this or how we can restore the previous default notification behavior?

Can I use Figma Variables for text formatting specifically for cases (Upper/ Lower)?

It would be very easy if it were addded

I am trying to create a workflow for bulk changing sub-headlines, and resizing for marketing creatives. I am unable to generate an editable content/image bank despite naming the fields correctly and also locking the layers that should not be subjected to an edit once a spreadsheet is uploaded with the sub-headline variations. Need some guidance on this front.

My workspace turned completely gray while I was working, and I can't see my frameworks. 

I have an existing professional account with one of my team having a full seat too.Now, my company has an Org account and would like to add me. They’ve tried to invite me but I’m not receiving any of the notifications.  How do I join the Org account and cancel my Pro account + the full seat so that we aren’t double billed?

Hi eveyrone,I’ve started by drafting/prototyping in Figma Make, and have moved things forwards really quickly. I’d now like to move the screens into more of a workable space where I can see/edit all screens to take them from initial concept to my own specific design and see noodles linking screens together. Do you know if it’s possible to move the files across? Or am I better taking screenshots and starting from scratch? 

Hi everyone!As a beginner, one thing I struggle with is knowing when to stop making small changes to a design.I often find myself adjusting spacing, corner radius, typography, or colors over and over, even when the design already looks decent.I'm curious how more experienced designers handle this.Do you have a checklist before calling a screen finished? How do you know you're improving the design instead of just changing it? Has perfectionism ever slowed down your workflow?I'd love to hear how you decide when it's time to move on to the next screen instead of endlessly polishing the current one.

Hi everyone! As someone who's still learning UI design in Figma, I've noticed different workflows. Some designers start with simple wireframes and grayscale layouts before adding colors, while others seem to design with their color palette from the beginning.I'm curious:Which approach do you personally use? Do you think designing in grayscale helps you focus more on layout and usability? Or does working with colors from the start speed up your process?I'd love to hear how more experienced designers approach this and whether your workflow has changed over time.

Hello Figma Support,I purchased a monthly Professional subscription, but my account is still showing the Free plan. I have already completed the payment, however my workspace has not been upgraded.Please check my account and activate the subscription if the payment was successful.Thank you.

If I create a brand-specific generative plugin, can I use that plugin’s sliders and controls in a template I send to Figma Buzz, so non-designers can use the plugin when creating assets?If so, how do I do this? I’m not looking to publish a plugin for everyone to use.

Knowing that currently figma make using React framework to build the applications, is there anyway export it to vue.js ?

Hi, I subscribed to the Collab seat thinking I was still able to edit my files but clearly that’s not the case, so I upgraded to the Full seat almost immediately. This month I’m being charged for the Collab seat, and next month I will be charged for the Full seat on top of the Collab seat, then a separate Full seat for that month. Both Full seat costs are the same price. Why am I being charged extra this month? Am I able to get a refund on the Collab seat?

Hi everyone,I've been working on a series of educational health infographics in Figma and wanted to get some feedback from other designers who create informational content.One of my recent projects focuses on helping parents understand when kids should start using deodorant. The infographic was created as part of an educational campaign for PreReq Care, a skincare brand for pre-teens and teens. My goal was to make a topic that could easily become text-heavy feel simple, approachable, and easy to understand within a few seconds.The biggest challenge wasn't the visual design itself. It was finding the right balance between providing enough information and keeping the layout clean and easy to scan.Here are some of the design decisions I focused on:Creating a strong visual hierarchy so readers know where to look first. Breaking complex information into short, digestible sections. Using icons and spacing instead of large blocks of text. Choosing soft, approachable colors that appeal to pare

I made a mistake of connecting my personal repository and can’t seem to disconnect it. How do I do it?
