Hey! I've been using Figma for about 2 years now, mostly for UI/UX work, but I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do.What's the one Figma feature, plugin, or workflow trick that completely transformed your design process?I'm specifically curious about: Hidden features most people overlook Plugin combinations that work magic together Time-saving shortcuts that aren't widely known Creative ways you've hacked Figma for non-design tasks For me, it was discovering the "Similayer" plugin + component variants combo - it cut my workflow time in half for large-scale design systems. But I know there are WAY more powerful workflows out there.Please share your game-changer! The more specific and niche, the better. I'm trying to build a master list for my team.

I am new to Figma. When I first started, the toolbar was at the top of the screen, but now it’s at the bottom. Why did this happen, and how can I change it back?

I'm a beginner and currently on a free account. I'm trying to use AI to create a web platform that generates design drafts based on my needs, but I keep failing to make it work.

Hey Figma Community!!!My company is switching our design system to use Untitled UI Figma Library (Variable version). I’ve managed to apply our colors using the variable panel but now I’m tackling the font and how boy I’m struggling… If you’re familiar with Untitled UI, they’re using Inter as their body typeface. Inter has all the font weight you can imagine, including Semi-bold. In their component lib, they are using the Semi-bold font-weight A LOT. My company font only has Regular, Medium and Bold (no italic) and it’s been perfectly fine. My issue is as follow: I was able to replace the tape face in the variables by just renaming the Value for font-family. BUT since Untitled UI used Inter and specifically Inter Semi-bold in a lot of places in their components these instance now have an interrogation point when it calls to semi bold… Is there a way, in the Variable panel or the Styles to tell the document that every text layer currently usin

Hi fellow Figma users, I have registered and am a student of an ongoing bootcamp. While every one of the students has full access to the bootcamp Figma files, my access keeps getting changed into view only. The admin of the bootcamp has been in touch with Figma multiple times and they approved my account, but I still get the same problem, and the issue has not been resolved. We are half through the bootcamp, and I only had full editing access for the first week. This is very frustrating, and I cannot participate in any of the group activities. I also have no way of contacting Figma directly to solve the issue with their assistance. has anyone experienced similar issues? @dvaliao @Celine_Figma

What does the figma dev package offer, the one for $15, does it give 3000 AI credits and how do I track my AI credits to know my usage and know how to use the credits wisely. 

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’m learning Figma step by step and wanted to hear from people who have been using it for a while. Right now, I’m focusing on the basics like frames, auto layout, and components, and trying to build simple layouts without overcomplicating things. Some days it feels smooth, and other days I realize I’m still missing small but important details.For those with more experience, what helped you the most in the early stages? Was it practicing daily, following real projects, or learning from mistakes along the way? I’d love to know any habits, tips, or resources that made a real difference for you.

Hi guys, would love to get your help.I am trying to create a component (demonstration below) of a square in figma that when you hover your mouse on it it shows a picture in the square, and then i entered it into a a different component that repeats itself in a frame (like a square grid).I want that when you tap on that component, it changes the variant state of the Squarescreen which is a differnt component. Saw a youtube tutorial and the problem it created was that when i tapped on it it only made the hover state of the component freeze so it looks like it just made the picture stay there but i want it to change the state of the variant in the squarescreen. any help please?  

I’m building a portfolio/website using Figma Sites. On my homepage, I have different containers for each project, and my goal is that when I click on a project, instead of opening a new page, it triggers an overlay on top of the homepage showing that project’s text and images.I created an interactive banner using code so I could reuse the same template for every project. Now that I’m starting to replace the content, I’ve realized I need a better way to update the images for each project.Right now, the only method I’ve found is to manually drop the images into the Figma file, convert each one into code, and then copy that code as an import into the original banner so the component knows where the image is coming from.I’m wondering if there’s an easier way to manage this—ideally a place where I can store all my images and update them whenever needed. Everything else on the site can be changed with simple copy/paste, so I’m hoping images can work the same way.

I have a problem. Last month, I was mistakenly charged for an extra seat. I removed it, but I was billed again. I don't need six seats; I want to pay for five. Please issue me a new bill for five seats. Remove any random options that could have arisen due to someone's mistake and would have resulted in a price higher than five seats. This is extremely urgent; please attend to my request as soon as possible.

Hey All I’m learning Figma to build my companies website and seem to be having issues 1. in Figma and 2. when importing to webflow.  Seems like my NavBar menu is stuck down and won’t go up either in Figma or in webflow and I know there is a linking issue but can’t seem how to fix it. Any help would be great!

Hey all I am trying to enhance my code connect setup with code connect UI but I am currently facing some issues.I cannot connect my github repo to the design file system. Following the instructions, it redirects me to only create a new repo while I want to connect to an existing one I have connected most of my components through Code connect CLI and API, but I want to add some more context and MCP instructions via the UI but there is no option for this 

When I copy any Figma frame using Cmd+Shift+C (copy as png), it gives a message “copied as png” but when I try to paste it in google slides, it doesn’t work. As if there’s nothing in the clipboard. Tried clearing the clipboard still doesn’t work.

Hello, I have a problem with emojis. It’s impossible to add them in project.I’m on Windows 10 and I use the desktop app. When I open the emojis window, whatever the one I select, it does not appear in my frame or layer’s title.How can I fix this ?

I’ve been designing data tables using components and variants. My setup is as such: Cell component is nested in a Row component, Row component is nested in a Table Component. Cell component has a text property and 2 variants for mobile/desktop. Row component has 2 variants for mobile/desktop. When I change the row component to the “desktop” variant, which also switches the Cell component to its “desktop” variant, the text property gets reset by to its default, and I have to key in all the Cell text again. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks!

I can't go back to a specific point in time or restore.When I restore to a previously saved location, Safe Mode pops up. After confirming and going to the restore point, it takes a long time to load and then asks me to refresh. When I restore again, Safe Mode pops up and the above message repeats.I need to restore. Please help!

I’m trying to build a coverflow carousel like the one in this community file:  Though I’ve copied over step by step and same prototype settings, I’m unable to interact with it like above (i,e., it doesn’t slide with the cursor; it just smart animates into the next screen). The only difference is that the community file contains only an image within the frame, while I have primarily text in auto layout. How can I correct it? 

I've set up Code Connect CLI in Figma to create mappings between Figma components and my component library. The mapping works correctly when accessed through the local MCP server - I can retrieve all the component mapping information as expected. However, when I switch to using the remote MCP server, the same request returns only an empty object {} instead of the mapping data.

When editing in Figma Buzz, I can only see this button that says ‘Edit Content’. But my coworker can see an additional option to ‘Change Layout’. We’re working from the same template file; why don’t I have this option? TYSM

I have run into an issue where all of my figma slides have a pink hue overlay. The center of the slide is a darker pink while the border of the slide have a light pink color.  This appears regardless of the slide format or template I use.  The color is even present on new slide files.  However, the color is not there when in presentation mode.  Please see attached file for an example.  Seems like there should be a simple solution.  I am using figma in the safari browser.  Never seen this problem before.  Thanks for the help.  

Hello. I'm happy to be working with Figma Make. They're definitely the best in this field! However, I have a question. What exactly does "Until then, we aren't charging for exceeding Full seat limits" mean? Does it mean that even though I've exceeded the 3500 limit on my PRO subscription, I won't be charged extra? But why? I've already exceeded the limits. There won't be any surprise charges, right? (I used Translate. Sorry for any grammatical errors.)

Are there any keyboard shortcuts in the Figma Home screen to navigate quickly, similar to how they work inside a file (Slides, Design, Site, etc.)?I love using shortcuts in Figma—I'm still learning, but I feel very comfortable with them. However, while navigating the Home screen, I tried to use the Search field to find a file and felt a bit limited. The 'Tab' key doesn't seem to work. I’m mentioning this because in Notion, you can use Cmd + K to search for any page instantly. I’d really appreciate any help or tips! Thanks!
