Hi Figma community,I'm designing a long scrollable screen within an iPhone 16 frame (H:852px). My content extends beyond the bottom of the frame, but I cannot scroll in Prototype preview.I was advised to select the frame and find the ​​"Constraints"​​ section in the right-hand Design panel, then change the setting from ​​"No scrolling"​​ to ​​"Vertical scrolling"​​.​​However, I cannot locate this "Constraints" setting at all in my panel.​​ My panel mainly shows style options like fill, stroke, and effects.Could you please guide me on how to find or reveal this option? Is it hidden somewhere?Thank you so much!

Hi! For some reason, Figma thinks that when I’m writing a copy to a text element, I try to use the one-button keyboard shortcuts, for example O, I, L, instead. This makes it very difficult to write practically any copy texts because whenever I press for example “i”, the color picker activates. Could you please either make it possible to disable these one-button shortcuts or make them two-button shortcuts? Or is there some other workaround that I’m missing?

Hi. I started newly use figma and ı can’t find it constraints. Anyone can help? 

In Figma, I have DS Library A with Variable Set A and DS Library B with Variable Set B. Our shared icon library uses Variable Set B. When icons are used in Library A, colors get overwritten with variables from Set A. However, the theme switcher from Set B still shows up when applying variable modes.(i nailed it down to this problem, no other ghost variables or anything in the component. only components with an icon in it have this issue)What can I do to get this variable mode to disappear?

Hello, newbie here I am making a table with a dropdown option on one cell on each row but the other rows seem to overlap with the dropdown box, making the dropdown hidden behind the other rows. Please help! thank you!

We run daily campaigns, and the file is becoming quite large. How can I best utilize Figma’s features to streamline the process—creating templates that make campaign design easier, faster, and more efficient—so we can get the images handed over to the dev team more quickly?

I’m in a large org with a mature design system (~75 components), pulling library usage data from the Figma REST API.When I sort the output by component, the API spits out every variant and sub component in the library. This means that a design system library with 75 components might show as several hundred components in the data… which is too messy to be useful for my stakeholders.How are people filtering down this data to make it readable?In my pilots I categorized components using a manually populated table, but that’s not an approach that is scalable (when I scan all 10 version of our design system library I wind up with thousands of components to categorize).You can see in the Library Analytics Modal within Figma that they group variants under their main components (I’m assuming using the file hierarchy to group them) but this isn’t available in the API.

Anyone have ever know the flow, after we done testing what we did in figma make, possible to go live, production system, using our own domain , hosting etc. Anywant have idea, new here, please do advice if possible the steps. thanks

I don’t want to use an education plan, I just want to use the basic free version. Is there any way to skip it?

I wanted to create a ring and add a stroke, normally what I do is: 1. I create a circle2. I convert the shape to outlines3. I add a stroke to the outline shape againHowever now when I create a ring and then convert it to outline stroke it adds a weird stroke at the bottom (that I also cannot remove without “destroying” the ring) What should I do - anyone familiar with this problem? Is it a bug?  

 Once the website is ready, how do I hand it over to the client? Will the website be linked to my Figma, or will the client have to create their own and pay for it? And if the website remains linked to my Figma, will it stop working if I stop paying? Or will it work, but the client won't be able to make changes? Or do I need to transfer the website to another platform? Help pls

Hello community. i created a bento grid style website consisting of 8 bento cards [i.e one card use vector(logo), other use text, another an image,etc]. Each card will have its unique animation. my question is : shall  I create component with variant for each card, then include all in the bento frame? i am a beginner in figma and would like your advise on how best to do it.

Deleted variable mode keep showing up in the right inspector panel when no objects are selected. However, they don’t appear in the Variables panel when searched. 

I’m a BIG fan of figma I use it everyday for work and personal designs. I started using figma’s recent product figma sites in Beta. It’s amazing. My first impression after using figma sites was “Im going to make so many sites soo many…..”. Today out of blue I tested one of my website on www.websitecarbon.com I got a “F” rating, dirtier than 83% of all web pages globally. Is it the resources im using on the website or is it the hosting? I’m reading more about websitecarbon’s rating system.

When multiple frames are selected simultaneously and the shortcut key Shift + S is pressed, why can't a section be created directly?

Is it possible to lock everything (and prevent access to design mode) except editing text and uploading images on templates? Some users are changing fonts (size, style, etc.). It would be great to have more control other than just totally locking components.

I am creating component sets from an icon kit as an intern assignment, and so far I’ve been doing it manually and it’s hellish. Any tips?

Hi everyone,I’m really hoping someone here can help, because I’m stuck and support hasn’t replied.I accidentally added one extra full seat to my plan (I already had 2 collaborators). I removed it right after, thinking that would cancel it — and it was never assigned or used.But now I’ve been charged for it anyway, and I still see 1 unassigned full seat showing up as "available" in the billing section. I can’t find any way to cancel or remove it.Has anyone had the same issue? I really don’t want to be billed again for a seat I’m not using.Thanks in advance!

I've attached a screenshot of the App template. There are five tabs (Shop, Newsstand, Who we are, My Profile Basket). I want to add a sixth tab, similar to the Shop tab, or can't I create anything else, only edit it within the template?Thank you!

  All the primitives have been selected to HIDE and it still shows up under APPEARANCE. Why?

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a game-changer across industries, and design is no exception. From generating layouts to speeding up repetitive tasks, AI tools are helping designers save time and focus on creativity.I recently came across an interesting resource on this topic: AI in Design – worth checking if you’re curious about practical applications.I’m curious to hear from the community: How do you see AI integrating with Figma in the near future? Are there specific tasks (like wireframing, color palette generation, or prototyping) where you’d love to see AI assistance? Do you think AI can truly support creative thinking, or should it only handle repetitive/manual parts of the design process? Let’s start a discussion—what are your thoughts on AI + Figma?

Hi everyone,I’m learning Figma by making a Spotify mobile design clone. In the search section, I created a status bar (fixed at the top) and a search bar below it.When I prototype and scroll, the search bar hides behind the status bar instead of stopping just bottom of status bar. I can’t simply group the status bar and search bar together, because there’s a section in between.I’m attaching two short videos:1.Current prototype → shows the issue (search bar hiding behind status bar).2. Expected behavior → what I’m trying to achieve (search bar sticks just below status bar).Has anyone faced this issue? How can I make the search bar stick below the status bar without overlapping?Any suggestions, articles, or video tutorials would be really helpful!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create an expandable accordion linked to an underlying element (body) that scrolls below the first one regardless of whether the accordion is open or closed.Thank you in advance 

Hello! I want to copy a gradient from illustrator and paste it in figma as a vector. I tried importing it as an svg but the gradient appears as an image, not a vector. Also, direct copy paste doesn’t work either. Is there any solutions or should I create the gradients from scratch in figma?Thank you!

Hello everyone! We are trying to buy a subscription for Figma Professional. The problem is that my company makes payments only by invoices, not with a card. Is there a way to get the subscription by getting an invoice? Thank you!
