Hello. I have recieved notification on email that my student plan expires in 4 weeks, though it has been only 1 year since i’ve registered in figma and i also verified my edu plan this year. I have read that student plan is valid for 2 years, so why mine expires so soon? 

Hi everyone. I’m still a beginner in Figma and I have been trying to create an interactive map to put as an embedding element on a website.I was trying to make use of the hover effect so the image will be changed into different colour to emphasise it. The problem is the boarder lines between countries - as the components cannot be placed on the same layer, the overlapping boarder will not be shown properly with the selected component. Please see below.Is there any way to fix this or how should I add layer to it? Thanks a lot!

I want to design website like this Apkvise and this is the article page please tell me is it possible.

Hi, I recently logged into my Figma and it shows I’m on the Education plan but I'm not sure what is the expiration date. I read that it lasts for 2 years, but is it possible to know the exact date as I don’t want to suddenly get logged out from my school project while I'm in the midst of it. I tried asking chatbot and it says I’m on a starter plan. So I’m a bit confuse and unsure.

I haven’t used Invision in a while. When I recently wanted to check out some old projects (~2019) for my portfolio, I realized that all my prototypes in the Studio App was gone. Customer support informed me that the app was fully deactiated and removed back in jan 2023. I have the .studio source files on a harddrive. Is there any was to convert/import these projects and open them in Figma (or Adobe XD/any other software)?? I would so so so appreciate any tips and help! It would really suck if all my projects are gone for good… Thank you!!

How can you set the default starting page on Figma Sites for prototyping? For some reason, whenever I test out the prototype, the default starting page is ‘about us’ and I want it to be ‘home’.

Hi,I tried to update my simple Plugin, which I originally added back in 2022. Unfortunately, I got an error which is blocking the update. I also noticed that when I click on the “Permissions” tab the dialog box closes right away. So I don’t know if there is missing something.I also don’t use the E-Mail address anymore, which I added back in 2022. I have no access to it anymore. Instead, I would like to change to the one I use in my account.Any idea what is going wrong?Thanks, Danny  

So I have tried prototyping the keyboard, but i dont understand how can i do it? Some people say that figma is not a great tool to do that. What should I do?

Hello everyone, I’ve created icons, all vector layers with the same name, and every icon has a variant of sizes - small (16px) medium (24)and large (32). They also have round/sharp Boolean property. I’ve created buttons, also with size variants with matching names and sizes. There’s also variant for only label, only icon, left icon and right icon. There’s also instance swap for every icon size. I also have the icon as nested instance. So I take an instance of the button and I change its size, then I change the icon - lets say from “search” to “plus” for example - but if I want to change the size of the button, the instance swap return to its default icon instance. What should I do, or what did I do wrong?

The constrast checker it’s great, but it’ll also be super usefull to have the option to switch the two  elements you need to compare, because right now automatically compares only with background.  For example, if I have a button and I need to compare the text color with the button color but I don’t want to change the text color, just the button color, how can I tell the tool to compare with the foreground and not with the background of the button?. Somebody knows?

Hi! I cannot access figma design file generated with a help of Figma AI in “Developer Mode”.I have full seat.I have access to a file via organisation team.

Spinner not working, I have tried following some articles but nothing works

I am trying to create a script that would use figma apis to extract data from figma files. This script would run as a scheduled cron job and would be dealing with figma files from multiple teams. The basic approach of creating a PAT (Personal access token) seems very difficult to manage and scale as we have to get access to all figma files for the particular user.Is there a better way to achieve this ? Can an org wide token be created to achieve this ?What are other ways of performing such actions in production environments 

For example, I want the top border of a rectangle to be a solid line, the bottom border to be dashed, and the left/right sides to have no stroke at all. Is there a native way to apply different stroke styles per edge of a single object, or do I need to use separate lines of shapes as workarounds? Thanks!

Can anyone shed light on how I can get Figma to respond I am not able to access my figma account.Thank you.

Hi!I have a question that I would like to have an answer to in order to create/work with a plugin for Figma.I tested several Figma plugins related to string names generation/string push-pull and noticed that string IDs generated/pulled via plugin for text strings always override the actual names of text elements. Which means that plugin use these names as fields for meta-info. The actual text of the elements in kept in a container slot. And I can't change it without changing the text on my mockups. And looks like there is no other text field I can add information to.The question is, is there a way to keep meta-information (for example, textual) in some way for particular text elements in Figma? So that it is not kept as the name of text element or not kept as the actual text of the text element, but in some other way. If I need some meta-info to be connected to a particular text element, how can I do that? Does Figma API allow anything like that?

I’m the admin of my workspace with the Professional plan, and I have a collab seat. How can I share a draft with viewing rights with my client, without having to upgrade to a full seat? Whenever I click the share button, I see the dialogue that I’m about to upgrade to a full seat. I even already upgraded by accident, which was annoying as it incurred extra cost for something I don’t need). On the free plan I’m able to share drafts without problem. Why isn’t that possible on the Professional plan? Here’s a screenshot of the dialogue that I get whenever I click the share button.  Would really appreciate some help with this, as it’s stated in the docs, that sharing designs with viewing rights should definitely be possible without upgrading the seat.
