Hi Figma team,In the governance phase of design system works I will lock all layers of components, etc. I wanted to drop a note and suggest/ask for a way to lock/unlock all layers (or selected layers) with a single click.It’s time consuming to do this one layer/group at a time.

I have recently, seemingly, lost editing rights to the drafts on my profile. My Drafts folder contains only four, 4 year, old files.  My more recent Drafts are still available from the Recents folder, and I have all of them open in tabs, in the desktop app.  However when I right right click a draft, in Recents and try to move it I get the following error message: "Current location: Philip's DraftsYou can’t move files that are in another person's Drafts."  All of my Drafts are view only, and when I send a request to edit, I receive an e-mail request in the inbox of my login profil.  I am at bit of a loss as to what is going on? could anyone help me sort this out? I tried searching for similar cases on the forum, but haven’t been able to find anything that solves my situation. ¨BR Philip

How can I export all the frames from all the pages of a Figma project at once? I want to export the screens in JPEG or PNG.

This has driven me BATTY for like two years. When I select a component Figma, correctly, selects the same component in other frames throughout my file. But neither “select all with same variant” or “select all with same component” will actually select the other purple instances highlighted. What am I doing wrong? How do I select all of the instances Figma has identified?!

Is it possible to do an auto layout BUT move the elements within the autolayout?I added an sample of what I need it to look like. 

🆘🆘🆘🆘Hi i am having technical issues, Although I am the owner of figma file but when i want share my file and change the “what can they do “ from view to Edit, I can’t cause Edit is grayed out

Hello everyone. When I work with the Figma desktop app on Mac, the red alignment lines do not show. I don’t know why, because they only show in the Figma web app. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Today I noticed that copy / paste of properties does not seem to work properly anymore for me. Whenever I try to Option-CMD-C stroke properties from a vector, it shows no effect on the other vector item after pasting it using Option-CMD-V. However it works with closed paths sometimes and fills are no problem at all. Works: Fills Rectangle to rectangle strokes Rectangle to ellipse strokes Rectangle to line Does not work anymore: Ellipse to ellipse strokes (???) Line to line Vector to vector This is blasting my workflow right now. Did anyone have the same experience?

I’d like to move every in the red square down to make room for another section. What’s the best way to do that? I’m completely new to Figma, no experience. 

プラグインを使用したところ、レイヤーパネルに不思議なマークが現れました。編集しようとしてもできません。ご存じの方教えてください。

Hi there, I have a problem. When I share a presentation link of Figma Slide, people can’t open it because they have a 404 error or the page doesn’t load… It’s very embarrassing because we sent this link to a lot of prospects… And when I try on my own, it works only in private navigation. But I can’t tell a client to try it on private navigation, it’s not profesional. Do you have any solution ? Thanks!

Hi, I want some help plugging in 3d object from spline to figma, I imported the object with anima but it doesnt really showing up, what do u guys think?

Issue with Clickable Elements Behind Expanded Social Bar in FigmaHi everyone,I'm facing an issue with my expanded social bar in Figma. Here's the situation: The collapsed state of the social bar sits at the bottom of the screen. When it expands, it visually covers a portion of the main content on the page. However, the elements that are beneath the expanded social bar (from the main content) are still clickable, which should not happen.  

Hey everyone,I’m running into an issue with component resizing in Figma. I’ve set constraints on child elements (e.g., left & right for buttons inside a container), but when I resize the main component, the elements don’t behave as expected. Sometimes they overlap, and other times they don’t scale proportionally.I’ve checked: Auto layout settings (both fixed and fill options) Whether the frame is set to "hug contents" or "fixed width" Nested component constraints Has anyone else faced this? Any tips on getting constraints to behave properly when resizing?Thanks in advance!

So im pretty new to figma, and i was trying background blur when i give a rectangle a 1% opacity gradient of 1% full black to 0% full black when i notice that it has this grain texture on it. so i zoom in to check it out but the more i zoom in the more grain i see until at 25600% i get to more grain! (only one media allowed 😦 ) i try to export but it takes quite a while so i just restart figma. so im giving a project link to see if you see this also or if its just me! Thanks! 😃 https://www.figma.com/file/t56tbYW9DJF7Kd4YKtSx0q/What-happened-here%3F?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=kg2UUWNl9s7GToPP-1

I’m creating a plugins project, but Figma updates its version, then I update Figma, and all my projects are gone, how do I find this?

I'm working on a design system and when I got to the input components, I created variants for the desktop version—all the same size but with different properties. However, I also need these variations for the mobile version, where padding, icon size, font size, and other properties change.Sometimes, I also need larger versions, like for a self-checkout screen, where the inputs are significantly bigger.Based on the desktop input I created, is there a way to create another set of components with the same variants and properties, but only change the padding, font size, border radius, etc., without having to simply duplicate and manually adjust the size of everything to fit mobile and other screen sizes?If you have any suggestions on how I could improve the way I've created these components, feel free to share. I've been using Figma for a few years now but haven’t fully mastered local variants, components, and related concepts. 

Dear Figma Support,I tried to renew my Education plan, but I was unable to do so. I am still a student and would like to continue using Figma with the Education plan. Could you please assist me in extending my access or provide guidance on what steps I need to take?Thank you for your support!Best regards,Malala Soifer

Hi all! If I have a 3rd party payment integration for the plugin I built do I still need to apply to the waitlist “Sell on Figma Community”: docs.google.com But it is not 100% clear for the case of allready having a 3rd party payment integration. They say that you can use 3rd-party payment integrations, but with that integrated, can I just go through the publishing process and if I get approved they will just label it “Third-Party Payment” and publish it or will I first have to be chosen from the “Sell on Figma Community”-waitlist even if I do not want to use Figma´s own payment gateway? Thanks! Sascha

 What is this and what’s shortcut for it?

Hi. I have a Component for a portfolio with a text that will change on mouse hover. This text will be diferent in each card of the portolio. How can I change this text?Now I have 1 component with 2 variants (default and hover), but when I put the variant hover in my page content, this not change is always ‘hover text’.I’m new in figma and this topic is difficult to me.
