Hello, i created i section in my figjam. I shared it via link but the flipcards a placed in the section do not interact. If I open the content within my own browser under my account I can flipp them and the open cards are showing for others who got the link, but they are unable to flip the cards. 

Gifford is so far the best gif export plugin I’ve tried however today I keep encountering an issue that I cannot figure out how to fix!! I’m trying to export frames into a gif - they are 1080 x 1920. I select them all and go to export and the gift comes out with thick white edges on either side and it’s actually resizing the image to 800 x 800. I’ve not ever had it resize the image before. The frame are all the right size and the content is clipped. Anyone have this issue and anyone know how to fix it?!

I teach an UiUx course in a spanish university and We are unable to validate a few accounts. please need some help 

I’m adding hyperlinks to an editable template in Figma Buzz, and the ‘Mailto:’ function does not seem to work (says invalid link every time). Is there a way around this? I found a plugin to try, but apparently I cannot open the desired plugin within Buzz (fault with Buzz it seems?). ‘Manage plugins’ does nothing in Buzz...

I’m having a problem with the text tool and how it interacts with the rest of my project. Previously, I would be able to hit “T”, click wherever I want the text, hit escape, and that would be it. Now, when I hover the cursor over a rectangle for example, the cursor has a little curve under it, and when I click, the rectangle just disappears. In the layers side bar, it changes the layer name from “Rectangle 2” to “text on a path.”I tried restarting the Figma app, but it’s still doing it. I’m really not sure what I did. How do I get it back to normal? This is the odd cursor in question.​​​​​​ 

I work for an org who have disabled Open Sessions- due to confidentiality risk. Is there anyway for the admin to allow a group of users to have this functionality- ie ring fence functionality for only some users?? 

Hi there! I work for a company that owns over 17 different brands with different brand colors. I want to use Figma Buzz to bulk create a visually identical ad for all the brands, but I want the background color to change across each ad to correspond with the unique color of each brand.  My company has used Token Studio to create color tokens for each brand, and these are linked to Figma Variables. Is there any way in Figma Buzz to link a spreadsheet column to color Variables so that when I use Bulk Create it automatically switches to the correct brand color while keeping the token connected?Hope that makes sense! I used have an example screenshot below as a visual of what I would want to happen as well  

I have a navigation bar component with a variant for each product and I want to set the icon for both the default state and the selected state so that they are filled when selected.  I have this set on the parent component but when I try to use it in an instance, it does not have the icon and just shows the default  Here is it set in the parent component when selected  Here is it set when in default  When I insert an instance of the main component and change the icon buttons to a different state, it resets the icon to the default  This navigation bar component is composed of smaller components including this icon button… not sure where the problem lies.  After I set it once in the instance of the main component it works every time I switch it, but it would be nice for my designers not to have to do that every time .

I saw this topic raised in the past. Wanted to surface it again because this continues to be an issue for me now and has been throughout the years I’ve been using Figma. Comments do not get copied over when duplicating a file or when exporting a .fig file. Has anyone found a workaround for this? @Figma_Support Is an update for this issue coming our way in the future?

can someone help me？ thanks a lot!

Hi,I would like to move a Figma Make project from my current account to a new Figma account, it is possible to export and import a project ?

Hi There,It seems images are embedded - is that right?So each time they’re updated externally, they have to be manually re-placed one at a time anywhere they’re used - is that right?Also, does this mean you can’t easily find an image with a Figma design file, and reveal its file location for round-trip editing?Sorry if this is easy, I’ve found lots of confusing threads (some are old though) but the answers seem complex for something as basic as image updating.Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated.Cheers, Ben

How can I find or where can I see the name of the course/bootcamp linked to my Figma student plan?

I want to export or copy the names of the layers to compare them with the desktop and mobile versions, but I couldn't figure out how. The layers resemble an HTML tree, which would be useful for creating the HTML structure. I tried some plugins, but they didn't work. It would be helpful if I could copy the layer names.

I’m noticing that some but not all videos in one of my prototypes flash black before playing, but only in Figma iOS app, not Figma desktop or web. Is this a known issue and any recommendations on how to fix it?

I have a design library with multiple color variable. I’ve published all colors for our local team to use in their design files and for the longest time, all color variables were available for use inside these design files. But recently (past month or so) some colors are not appearing inside the design files. As in, they do not make themselves present during a Fill, Stroke, nor Text color selection effort. I also noticed I’m unable to nudge these variable (change color, name, etc) in order to trip the library into including them for publishing. It’s as if they don’t exist—even though they do in the library. Column 1 Column 2 Name Primary-050 E6E9F5 Primary-100 C1C9E7 Primary-200 98A6D6 Primary-300 6E84C6 Primary-400 4C69BB Primary-500 244FAF Primary-600 1D47A6 Primary-700 103E9A Primary-800 00358E Primary-900 002379 Specifically, variables “Primary-050” through “Primary-300” are being ghosted (ignored) by Figma publishing. While “Primary-400” through “Pr

Hi,I was trying to use variables to change the hover color of a button, but the problem is I can select the color of the base button using the tokens, the change to field only allows for hex colors; I can’t point to the hover token.It works for a single mode, light or dark, because I can just put the hover hex color, but that’s not great when using light and dark.  

Hello everyone, what cool plugins can you recommend for creating mockups? I would appreciate the advice.  

So I just updated my Figma recently. Now I can’t seem to find the auto align feature of an auto aligned element, for example, this text has auto-layout enabled but I need to manually tweak the padding of the frame in order for the text to be aligned fix to the left. Does anybody here encountered the same situation? I appreciate your feedback. Thanks

Since Figma Make became publicly available, I’ve noticed a significant drop in performance and overall intelligence. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I no longer see the “Claude Sonnet 4” label next to the prompt area. Everything I try now leads to poor results. Just yesterday, during the beta phase, the AI was much more capable and consistently delivered great outcomes. Today, I’m stuck for hours on simple tasks that were handled effortlessly before.Anyone noticing the same?

Hello dear Community, As we’re continuously working with clients, our team was really fond of the setting “can view prototypes only”: sometimes we would invite specific people to view a prototype, other times we would allow anyone with the link and password to view the prototypes. This allowed us to be sure not to share the actual design file with the client (sometimes because they wouldn’t need it, or because we would prepare a specific file for the client). Here is a screenshot I found online for reference: We recently figured out that Figma updated the Share modal: So, the text in the bubble seemed clear, but then the settings texts just got me a bit confused, I guess it’s because they use similar wording which might seem contradicting at a first glance (keep in mind my team and I are not native English speakers): Furthermore, we got quite overwhelmed as we’re working with files which are 2+ years old and those are shared with clients, therefore we wanted to check if any settings

Hi,How can I make this word cloud effect with editable text and colors? This one is made with AI and the text is not always correct needs editing.Thanks!

I was testing figma code connect with mcp and Cursor and unfortunately found that i cannot refine component that is already connected - because “suggested code” is not returns, it only contains my connected infoI tried to run ‘figma connect unpubish --node’, command returns :Unpublishing Code Connect files from Figma...Successfully deleted:--- (React)--- (storybook)* my code is vueBut then mcp again returns my code connect snippet instead of real “react code” as it was before connection

Hello allI could do with some help on a fixed scroll animation.I have a small graphic with a round, yellow circle that simply pulses every 5-10 seconds. It’s made with 6 small frames, and converted to a component set. I’ve added it to my prototype, and have set the scroll behaviour to Fixed (Stay in place). But when I scroll, the graphic flickers. Can anyone shed any light on why this might be happening? It’s as if the first frame in the animation works with the Fixed Scroll behaviour, but frames 2-6 will not, causing a flicker effect. I’ve added a link to the prototype, hopefully you can view it?Kind regards  https://www.figma.com/proto/MYdBxT7JlncQzRVmSCGBsa/Desktop-v1?page-id=17624%3A1542&node-id=17624-1560&viewport=8925%2C-176%2C1.02&t=hwhcSWqpLL7bxcG2-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&starting-point-node-id=17624%3A1560   

Is there a way I can convert my Figma Make design to Figma design?
