I used to be able to see the pixel distance between a frame and an object inside it by holding the Option/Alt key. But now hovering while holding Alt no longer shows the offset horizontal and vertical measurements. Smart Snap is still working but offset measurements do not appear at all.Is there any way to restore this feature? Thank you.

I have been working on some projects for a couple of weeks.  I wanted to move them to another brand new Figma account.  I exported and then imported the project.  I was hoping it would go ahead and setup a new Supabase like it did when I first created the project.  The problem is that it didn’t and I have followed everything Figma is telling me to fix the issues on the Supabase side.  Stilling have Supabase issues like the health test failing; so it isn’t even a Figma issue.  Any way to start fresh and using an import project and everything is done for me?  Oh and I don’t care about the data or any ids related to the project.

 Hello guys! There is an issue I am running into when I’m trying to export my artwork from Figma to Illustrator. First I’m saving my work as a PDF from Figma, then I open it in Illustrator, convert it to CMYK, everything is fine at this point, but when I’m saving it from Illustrator and then open in preview all the colors look much paler then they are. Please help me understand why is that happening 

How can I check if someone has already asked the same question before I create a new post?

Hi! I'm unable to preview animations after clicking on 'Present'. Also after prototyping section as 'mouse enter' it either doesn't work after previewing or animation get's stuck mid way. Is there a way I can fix these issues?

 What Is List to Data“List to Data” means changing a normal list list to data of words, names, or numbers into organized information called data. A list is only a group of items written one after another. But when we convert that list into data, it becomes more useful. For example, if you have a list of students and their scores, turning it into data helps you easily find who scored highest or lowest. This process is very common in business, education, and technology today.Why List to Data Is UsefulList to Data helps make work easier and more professional. When information is stored as data, you can analyze, share, and understand it faster. Businesses use this method to manage customers, schools use it to record marks, and websites use it to store user information.Here are some key benefits: Easy to manage: Data can be searched, filtered, and sorted easily. Saves time: You can find information quickly without reading everything. Better results: Helps make smarter decisions using cl

Hi Figma community! I only received the link to rewatch the keynote from Schema 2025.I’d love to watch more of the panels. Where can I find the links to the recorded sessions?

Hi everyone — I’m seeing unexpected behaviour in the Figma Desktop app on my Mac and hoping others can confirm or help.What’s happening: When I try to scroll up and down with my mouse/trackpad in the Figma Desktop app, the canvas zooms in and out instead of panning/scrolling. This happens even when I’m not holding the Cmd key (⌘). When it occurs: It happens consistently in the Figma Desktop app on macOS and on the browser version. It doesn’t seem to matter whether I use a trackpad swipe or a USB mouse scroll wheel. What I expect: Normal vertical scrolling should move the viewport up/down (or if at canvas edge, scroll the file UI). Zooming should only occur when I hold the appropriate modifier (Cmd/Ctrl or pinch gesture), not for plain scroll gestures. What I’ve tried so far: Restarted Figma app Restarted macOS Checked Figma Desktop Preferences for any scroll/zoom settings Tried both my MacBook trackpad and an external USB mouse Tested in a different Figma file and in the same file

Already asked here:  But I’m having this same issue and have no idea what the resolution is.Things keep showing as edited and “properties changed” when I didn’t touch those pages at all. My team and I now have to make another branch off the main when we are done working, copy and paste our work into the second branch and archive the first branch we did all the work in bc the first branch always shows so many edits and we can’t pin down what is going on.

Is there a way in Figma, or a plugin, to give me a way to see or find out where a variable is being used in a component library. For example, how can I find out where “background.primary” is being used?Also, with that being said, is the a plugin that will give me all the variables for a single component?Thanks!!

Empty spaces in sticky components are allowing clicks for the components below them. The sticky frame has a solid fill with natural blending mode. It is also above the other components in the layers panel.How to block the clicks?

I’ve been following the latest search engine updates closely, especially how they affect niche sites. As someone working at SEO Circular and writing for the Figma Community Forum ,I wanted to share some observations and takeaways.Over the past few months, it’s clear that many niche sites have seen significant changes in traffic. For instance, some studies of Google’s “Helpful Content” update showed that a number of niche or affiliate-type sites lost a substantial portion of their traffic — in some cases 60–70%. The updates are emphasizing content that is original, trustworthy, human-authored, and genuinely helpful to users. At the same time, there are signals that sites offering deep, niche-specific expertise can still perform well, sometimes even gaining visibility over larger, generic sites.For those managing niche content, here’s what seems to make a difference: Quality over quantity: Pages with shallow or templated content are more vulnerable. Focus on creating content that offers

May I know how can we share the dev mode to the external developers? We would invite them as a guest for the file, but can the external developer paid for the full seat account?

I am trying to verify my education status. But it is showing "Verification limit exceeded". Can anyone else is having the same issue or have solved it. 

After using Figma for your design work, how do you check whether it is helping your team work faster, better, or more efficiently? Which numbers or feedback do you look at?

Hey everyone I work at TripleMinds, and our team has been exploring how design can shape more human-like AI interactions. Recently, we’ve been experimenting with Candy AI Clone, a tool that lets you create adaptive AI characters that evolve through conversations.I’m curious how other designers here think about this space: Have you designed interfaces for AI-driven personalities or chat companions? How do you visualize things like emotional tone, growth, or character traits within Figma? Are there any plugins or design systems you’ve used for mapping AI conversations or user emotions? Would love to learn how others are incorporating AI personality design into their UX workflows — and how tools like Figma can support that creative process.Looking forward to hearing your experiences and ideas! 

I have the education plan and now i can not see the inspect features and also some other properties in making responsive the layout like spaceBetween what is the issue? 

I’ve set this component to include both text and a background. I’m using a boolean to hide the background, but when it’s hidden, the component doesn’t shrink to fit the text — it keeps the same size as when the background is visible.

I created bug tickets in Figma for my team. A week has passed, and not a single one was answered. Today, all the tickets were closed with a “Resolved” status and no responses. I submitted both bug reports and sales related tickets. What’s going on?

I accidentally upgraded my old professional account to the education plan. Could you please downgrade it and allow me to reverify my student status using my personal account, which previously had the student plan?

So once you add text onto a path, there's no way to separate them back? I'd like to extract the curve from the object below, for example. 

I was adding text to an arc and noticed I can't change the text rotation; the text is always aligned to the path. It would be great to be able to change the text rotation to an arbitrary angle (in the example below, I'd like to make all the numbers horizontal).
