I have been using figma make for over 2 months now, and it had been working great. But in the last 2 days, I am seeing random issues in rendering and crashes in the preview app.For example, my app has a few buttons in the top right (for messaging, notifications, user switcher). Until 3 days ago, these buttons were working fine. but since the last two days, every now and then, the buttons load up as pre-selected, and when I click on them the app freezes (see attached screenshot).I am seeing similar behaviour in other places in the app as well. Reverting to older versions that were previously working has not helped - makes me think that the issue is in some new release of Figma make. Additional context: I am upto version 554 in this app. I wonder whether that has something to do with these recent issues as well. Has anyone else seen similar issues? Any suggestions on what to do to address these issues? 

Hello Figma Community and Support Team,I am the IT Coordinator at Çözüm Koleji (a K-12 school in Turkey). I applied for the Figma Education plan for our school domain (cozum.k12.tr) about 12 days ago but haven't received any response or verification email.We are in the process of rolling out our centralized design environment. We currently use Microsoft A5, Google Workspace, and Adobe Creative Cloud. We urgently need the Figma Enterprise features to set up SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning via Microsoft Entra ID, just like we did with our Canva integration.Without the education verification, we cannot proceed with a secure, centralized deployment for our K-12 students. Could a Figma staff member please look into our application or escalate this to the SheerID/Education team? I have all official documents ready for manual review.Thank you for your support.Zahit Koca

Hi everyone! I'm trying to simulate two different actions on a single card component. * Short Tap: Should open an overlay. * Long Press: Should change the card to a different variant that reveals two buttons (one to hide the card, and one to cancel/return to the initial variant). I added an "On tap" trigger to the card instance on my canvas to open the overlay. To handle the long press, I'm trying to use "Mouse down" and "Mouse up" inside the Main Component to switch between variants (since I know I can't use "On tap" on both the variant and the instance simultaneously). However, Figma keeps conflicting the triggers, and the prototype is breaking. The actions either override each other or fail silently. Could someone help me understand how the trigger hierarchy actually works between Main Components and Instances? Or, if there's a better workaround to build a component that handles both a short tap and a long pres

Hello! Recently i find out that when I click Auto Layout, the text doesn't line up perfectly with the center of the shape but remains in place, creating mixed padding. Previously, when using auto-layout, the text would line up perfectly with the center. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong. 

Hi,My projects requires a custom font that I have installed locally, but it doesn’t show up on Figma and there isn’t a desktop download for Linux.Is there a way to edit files with custom fonts? I use Fedora KDE and Figma in the browser.Thanks

The ProblemFigma's selection colours panel is one of my favourite features — select a frame, see every colour used inside it, click one and change it everywhere. It's fast, visual and incredibly useful.But it stops at colours.As a designer, I often find myself in situations where:- A client wants to change all button fill colours after 150 screens are designed- I notice some buttons have a corner radius of 13px instead of 12px — but finding them all takes forever- I inherited a messy file with inconsistent font sizes (14px, 15px, 16px scattered randomly) and no design system in place- I need to audit opacity values across a large file and fix the inconsistent onesRight now, the only tools available are:- **Selection colours** — colours only, no other properties- **Find/Replace** — text content only, not design properties-

Hello, is the slots update only available to full seat users?

With a nice collection of CMS articles in Figma I could not figure out how to cross-link them. I was about to add a link to the content in rich text editor, but pages for CMS are not listed there. I would expect it to be work the same way as links work in ‘interaction’ mode: selecting the CMS page than the slug. Is there any (other) way to achieve this? Is there a plan to add/fix this?

Hi there,I am using the Figma desktop app and on the left hand side I have all my frames in the layers section with the little collapse/expand icons next to each frame. If I expand a frame with lots of items in it and then scrolldown I can’t then collapse it again until I scroll all the way back up to the top, instead of collapsing the little arrow just selects everything in the frame. Is that normal behaviour as it is quite annoying, or have I accidently changed a setting as I am sure it didn’t used to do that.Thanks 

Does education plan  has mcp limit? is it 6 or 200?

Hey guys!I was ready to publish a library when I saw a bunch of “removed” components on the list. There’s no Main Component for any of them anymore (that’s why I think they call them “removed”). I’d like to get rid of them all, how can I do that? I did not find any deletion option.Thank you.

I'm exploring packaging design and looking to create custom package boxes using Figma. Are there any recommended plugins, templates, or workflows within Figma that work well for 3D mockups or dieline templates? I'm also curious if there's a packaging-specific Figma forum or community where I can share and learn more.CategoryDesign Tools / Plugins or Packaging Design (depends on the forum platform)Tagscustom package boxes, figma plugins, packaging design, dieline templates

Hello, the work I was working on suddenly disappeared yesterday. I wasn't on the move, and I looked at the project and the trash can, but it's not in thereI also left a 1:1 inquiry (#1788905) because it's an important work piece and needs to be restored as soon as possible. When will it be processed? Has anyone experienced the same problem as me?[Screenshot redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] 

I have been having this issue since 2 months ago.

I have been doing these WITH NO avails:Re-Installing Figma Clearing Figma & Chrome cache Installing newest vers of Firefox & Microsoft Edge for the sake of merely logging in Logging out from Figma Desktop app etc etcBtw, my device specification as for now:Samsung  - OS Android 16 Chrome 145  

Many government portals require users to verify identity numbers or check eligibility for public services. For example, many people search for things like BISP 8171 CNIC eligibility check or 8171 web portal verification but often struggle to understand the interface.Designing these portals with a simple UI and clear instructions can help users complete verification steps easily.What UX strategies do you usually follow when designing portals used by non-technical users?

Context: I’m creating a prototype in Make and want to rebuild using Claude Code.  Currently I download the Make file code and put in the project file and have Claude review it there.  Or I copy the design for a specific screen and paste into a Figma design file and have Clause review via MCP.  I’ve tried using MCP to connect directly to Make file but that isn’t currently supported (from what I can tell) Question: Is there a better way to do this?

I exported a file from Figma and opened it in Adobe pdf to edit. It shows dash-grid lines all over the doc and doesn't let me edit the pdf? Does anyone else face this?

I’m wondering when you will release Slots for all of us?

I’ve created over 100 artboards in Figma and want to create a PDF from them. After exporting the file, I found that it’s quite large in size. How can I effectively reduce the file size? Compressing the PDF with online tool (ilovepdf) only seems to decrease the size by about a third, and it’s still around 10MB. I can’t export it as an image also. Any help and explanation why it’s so heavy will be appreciate!

Hello,I am trying to create the following animation, but for now I have reached this stage. At the moment, I have two button states — Inactive and Hover. How would you advise me to implement it, since besides changing the background I also have the text “jumping” according to the example. It’s getting a bit complicated, but I would appreciate any advice.   This is the current: This is the exptected:
