Hello! I’m trying to create a multi brand system that shares the same primitive tokens, but each brand has a different number and naming convention for themes (modes).For example:Brand 1 has:Light Dark LavenderBrand 2 has:Light DarkBrand 3 has: Light Dark BrownI currently have a solution but it unfortunately doesn't scale well. At the moment all of my brands have to share the same number and name of modes. Even if they don’t exist for certain brands.I thought this would be achievable with the new extended collections update, but unless I’m missing something, I can’t get it to work. Has anyone tackled a similar challenge and what was your outcome?

Hi Figma Support Team,I’m reaching out regarding an issue we are experiencing with a project created using Figma Make (AI).BackgroundWe are developing a two-sided platform called FiXa, and we designed the web interface using Figma Make. Our goal is to turn this design into a fully functional, production-ready website or MVP.We are currently evaluating two possible development paths: Figma Make AI – publishing directly from Make External no-code AI platforms – such as Lovable (Builder.io), Webflow, or Framer, which can generate working sites from Figma designs The IssueInside Figma Make, the following actions are unavailable: We cannot duplicate the file (Duplicate to drafts / Duplicate file options are missing) We cannot convert or copy the project into a regular Figma design file Plugins are not available, so we cannot export the design to Webflow, Builder.io, Lovable, or any other tool This currently prevents us from moving forward with creating a live website based on our desi

When pasting links into my FigJam board some show the preview image as expected but others do not… they just who the link text. Here is an example… https://www.etsy.com/listing/1428337641/custom-pet-sweater-using-pet-photo-name SHOWS THE PREVIEW IMAGE AS EXPECTED Custom Pet Phone Case Using Pet Photo Name Custom Dog Phone Case Custom Cat Phone Case Personalized Phone Case Cat iPhone Case - Etsy Ireland SHOWS NO PREVIEW IMAGE… JUST LINK TEXT

After last update, I cannot use Figma for desktop anymore :(It wasn't told it was going to happen, and now I am looking for a downgrade for an older version.Is it possible? How could I do that?Thank you!

My university email is blocked, and my Figma account is linked to it via Google SSO. I need to transfer my account and all files to my personal email without losing any files

Hi everyone :-)I’m trying to prototype a menu that stays fixed in the bottom-left corner while scrolling, but stops (or “sticks”) right before reaching the footer so it doesn’t overlap.In real code this would be a simple position: sticky with a stopping boundary, but I can’t find a clean way to reproduce this behavior in Figma.What’s the best way in Figma to simulate a sticky element that stops before overlapping another element (like a footer)?Any tips, alternative workflows, or plugins that could help?Thanks in advance xx

I need an information about expiration timeframes, as recently my token expired and functionality stopped working

The Figma Universe is a feature rich universe with many possibilities and does only work with architecture mindset. So for UX Designers for example, but they are complaining a lot anyway… There are so many learning curves and concepts which do not show any usability, obvious logic or intuitive workflow, if you do not take some lessons. I tried to find a summary, video or help documentation, which are there but have lose ends… So the figma dschungel is good for specialised Architects, but there are thousands of alternatives meanwhile, most of them are just small AI Apps which have solutions to certain parts of a workflow, like wireframing ect… The more easy way is Canva and the Affinity Suite, which is for free now...

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on a large-scale UI project in Figma, and as the design files grow, maintaining consistency across components, interactions, and design tokens is becoming more challenging. I’m hoping to gather insights from the community on how you keep everything organized and scalable—especially when multiple designers collaborate on the same system.A few points I’d love to discuss: How do you maintain consistent spacing, typography, and colour usage across multiple pages? What’s your strategy for managing reusable components and variants at scale? Do you rely on any auditing tools or plugins to detect inconsistencies? How do you manage version control for components to avoid accidental overrides? Tips for onboarding new designers into a large existing Figma workflow? UI pattern fundamentals Component maintenance tips Large project organization guide Looking forward to hearing your experiences, workflows, and any recommendations you have for keeping design

I know we can use https://mcp.figma.com/mcp in editors like (VS Code)Is it possible to add the MCP server to the GitHub coding agent, like….https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO/settings/copilot/coding_agent Settings → Copilot → Coding agent → MCP configurationExample:{ "mcpServers": { "figma": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp", "tools": ["*"] } }}I tried that, the Copilot got problem with the auth… or how can we do?So my team can open an issue and use Figma urls as a reference in the GitHub issue.Not possible right?

Hi, I accidentally approve a collab seat and delete that member email right away. But the bill is already charged for next month payment for $4.91. Can I can cancel it? How? 

Any tips on using Auto Layout to create responsive designs in Figma?

i’m developing a plugin to help product manager and developer to share information with figma.the information will bind to figma node. and the information maybe  some rich text content.for user experience we need to store the information temporay in user’s local machine. but figma.clientStore has the limitation of 5MB peer plugin. so, my question is how can i store data more than 5MB  I tried indexeddb but i got err looks like figma plugin can not use it.

Hi! I added a video to my slide, but I no longer have access to the original file on my computer. I’d like to download the video, just like you can on a regular Figma file. Is there a way to do that in Figma slides? Thanks!

okey so i want to make that when i click a button an image changes. like i have a hud and when i click the button i want the icon in the hud change, how to do it?

In the past, when you created Colour Styles and Text Styles, you could (along with identically named components) swap them out for each other by using the “Swap library” functionality in the Libraries panel. That functionality still works, and is great. However, Variables don’t seem to swap over in the same manner, which makes some sense as they’re not detected by the “Swap library” panel currently. Is there any way you can switch out Variables in batch when swapping libraries so they update everything eg colour, padding margin, booleans etc, or am I unable to use Variables for anything outside of local styling for now? For context, I’m creating a design system for a white-label product that can swap the associated branding on the fly depending on the target client. Naturally, colours, fonts, logos etc need to be switched out, and they work fine with the older method of library definition, but Id like to be able to specify padding, margins and other similar properties as part of the br

Hi guys!I’m working on an app where at the last minute the font was changed. It was easy to swap… only the new font (Cooper Hewitt) has a wildly different vertical placement in the bounding box. See how it aligns close to the top: For the app launch for dev this was a relatively easy solve, as you can adjust the vertical alignment. But moving forward with the project I could really do with the Figma designs not all looking misaligned!Vertical trim seems the only option. But the paddings within my components were based off of the previous untrimmed font. Which means I would need new spacing measurements, which is bad as then the devs would need to redo all those, or ignore my new measurements. Not great outcomes for a continuing project.I’ve been considering using a font editor to manually adjust the vertical metrics solely for use in Figma. I don’t know whether that’s legal or possible!Has anyone had a similar experience? Or do you guys have suggestions on how you would handle this con

Hi,I'm trying to build a prototype using Figma Make from a number of screens I have.For example, I have a project with a large number of screens, and I want to create a prototype for it. I started with 3 screens.Normal screen (closed menu), a screen with a pop-up, and a screen with an open menuEvery time I insert screens into Figma Make it changes my design completely.When I try to be specific (for example, make the buttons in a system of hover and selected states) Figma Make deletes all the screen content and makes me a style for 3 buttons... I want a prototype with style.When I ask to restore the content that was deleted for me, it returns, but without the previous request.When I tried to simply insert one screen, it finally uploaded my screen as it is. But all the buttons are distorted, out of the frame. Everything is messy :(I have components, I have titles, I have layer names. It seems like I have what I need.What am I doing wrong?Are there any tips or guides on how to create a pr

Recently figma updated rate-limits, and i need orientation/insights on how to handle the implication of that in my project.So, our project used figma REST API to extract a JSON and images from design journeys on figma. Using that, we validate a series of internal rules on how to develop screens journeys for our organization.The thing is, this solution is used by a lot of designers , and they dont have the dev mode or a seat that allows them to make more than 6 requisitions/month (and they need way more than that).The only solution for that would be run the application on a personal token that has a higher seat? Or is there a way that i can upgrade the rate-limit of the application itself? All designers that use this application making a seat-upgrade would bring us much cost. I’m trying to understand if i have any alternatives here. I saw something about the API Tier having different rate-limits. Is that something i can work with or change? Maybe change the API to increase the rate-limi

When I started prototype, all text layers changed into placeholder, and it keep glitching. I don’t know why :/Does anyone encounter this issue? 

Day 1 using FigmaI just want to use Figma Slides right now … and trying to get used to it vs Keynote.I understand how to hide the whole UI.But I want to hide JUST the right hand margin of slide - as the working space is so small compared to Keynote - which is an issue working on a 13inch laptop -anyone help please?Thanks 

What methods, tools, or habits do you use in Figma to make sure your designs stay uniform and follow the same rules — even when you work on different files?

The selling point of Banana Pro is that it can generate 4K images. Can Figma's Banana do that?

Hello! I have a question regarding my use of the Figma Education Plan as a university professor. While attempting to use the new AI tool with Figma Sites, I encountered two issues: The AI tool wouldn't work on figma sites (it’s like blocked); When I published a site, I was not given the option to set a custom domain. I contacted Figma’s chatbot, and it responded with this message:"Figma Sites is available for higher education or bootcamp Education users, but not for K-12 users. If you're a higher education student or bootcamp participant, you should have access to custom domains."However, I still don’t have access to this feature.Can anyone provide further guidance on this?
