Ask the Community

I received the message 'We have successfully verified your education status!', but I didn’t get the 'Welcome to the Figma Education Plan' email, and nothing has changed in Figma (I still don’t see the Education Plan features after verification). 

The “Explore Community” button - usually at the bottom left of the window - is gone. Where can I find the button now?

All these figma updates keeps moving around the community section where I can search for plugins, designs etc… WHERE IS IT NOW!????

Hi everyone,I’m experimenting with running the Jira MCP server locally in VS Code alongside GitHub Copilot. My goal is to download a design image from Jira and use it with another tool to compare it against a screenshot of the built feature.Here’s the issue: My agent seems able to fetch the image (I can see it being used in the chat context), but I can’t get it to actually save the file locally. With Playwright MCP, I can easily take a screenshot and save it to disk, so I know saving works in my setup. What I’ve tried so far: Following all the available configuration steps. Adjusting the prompts to explicitly ask Copilot to save the file. Testing with Claude Sonnet 2.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and GPT-4.1 inside Copilot (same results). Has anyone managed to do something similar: downloading/saving Jira design images via MCP with Copilot?What options or workarounds should I explore?Thanks in advance!

We’re experiencing a random problem with component overrides in our design system which consists of multiple library files. Our components use an atomic structure, where small individual components are combined (sometimes with overrides) to create larger components. The problem we’re facing We’re using some components in a design file and they have overrides applied to them. When a new library update is published, taking the new updates in the design file breaks our overrides. The component properties/variant selection is intact, even the value of the overrides are intact, however the instance would either loose border radius, or have its alignment changed or the layer name resets to the original name from the atomic component. This happens to some specific components, and not others. And this also happens randomly, sometimes some components break, while others don’t. We tried recreating the whole library from scratch with a few components to see if the problem persists, and unfortunat

Hi everyone How can I costumise the caracters in keyboard to be the same as the caracters I want to be written. 

My marketing agency has a proprietary content creation platform (we control all aspects of the backend, etc.).  After written content is created, we typically copy and paste the content to a Figma design template. Via an API connection, is it possible to create my written content and simultaneously have it populate in a Figma template? Or even populate as comments? Currently we use the batch import functionality in Figma Buzz but now I'm interested in directly connecting a Figma template to our platform. Is this API connection possible? Thanks!

Have you used AI tools to adapt or enhance designs within your design system? Which tools did you use, what results did you see, and would you recommend them to others?

my icon set looks ok only in figma app interface LIGHT mode. But, when I switch via CMD+K “use DARK mode”, my icons are the same color (kind of black) as figma app interface bg color! I could make them gray, but this is silly. there must be a better solution i guess?

Hi! I’m following a video by BYOL right now, and he’s done such a great job explaining things. But I’m a teeny bit (very) confused about something:What I’ve got / what I’ve done: I have a main component which is a set of icon components combined to form a single component (I’ve called it Nav - Lower (NL)). I’ve taken three instances of NL and used them in three other frames. What I want: To make sure that the main component is responsive, so I changed its constraints to Left + Right and Bottom. I want to be able to change the main component and see those changes reflected in its instances. What I don’t want, but is happening right now: Screen-recording: 

I want to create a prototype where the header hides when scrolling down and becomes visible again when scrolling up. However, I couldn’t find any feature or tutorial explaining how to achieve this. I did find an old video, but it didn’t work for me. Is there any way to make this work?

When my student and I leave some of my files, they zoom way out. Even when I select to zoom in for the selected content, it zooms out each time I leave. Is it possible to zoom in and have it stay zoomed in on the content when I leave then return? In most cases, the pieces I want to zoom in on are the only content on the page.

Hello. Trying to preview an app I created in Figma Make on the iPad but I can only preview in the browser mode, which breaks the prototype because of all the extra browser panels and whatnot.The Figma app, however, does not even see the Make files.Is there a way to make Figma see Figma Make so that Figma can see what Figma created?

Hello!I have heard that you are about to update your bootcamp verification process starting September 23th.  Starting September 23, self-verification of bootcamps will no longer be available, and an administrator will need to confirm the bootcamp and then grant access to students and instructors. I have the following questions:1. If my company uses Figma as an online course rather than a bootcamp, do these updates apply to me? 2. Where can I find more detailed information, namely which organizations will be granted access, how the student and teacher confirmation process will work, and other details?Thank you in advance!

Hi all, When i’m exporting to a JPG with a dark background, the export is adding 1px to its original size which then creates a thin white line top and bottom

I am creating coloring pages for my students and I made one with over 1200 squares to color in. I now want to separate it into different pages, but I can’t seem to unlock all of the squares to separate them into separate pages. I tried the unlock/lock stuff, but it only unlocks one at time. I tried to highlight the entire area and unlock them, but it didn’t work. It seems like I have to unlock the individual squares one at a time. I really don’t want to click through 1200 squares. Is there a way to unlock all in design?Or is there a way to highlight multiple objects or layers and unlock all of those?

Hello, My organization is looking for a Figma expert that can train a small group of people. Please add information for any experts you know here, tag a friend, etc. We have been in talks with Figma support for the last month, trying to get in touch with our rep for over a month. I look forward to everyone’s responses. Best, Monique

Hi everyone, I would need your help.Especially the safari fans out there!On my last safari I created an excel file with all animals I wanted to see and then manually crossed them out after a sighting. I couldn’t find a decent and simple app for that. So a couple of months ago I developed a super simple iOS and android app for that. It’s still very basic, but I would love to hear your feedback. Do you see any bugs? Any features missing? Other feedback? It is highly appreciated! The app is called animoreiOS: ‎ANIMORE im App StoreAndroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hooomer.animore&pcampaignid=web_shareThanks so much!Robin 

file structure : ai-assistant-data.ts Is there a way I can edit the content of .ts files / code? By the look of it, I can download the highlighted .ts -  and it contain the various chunks of prose. When I click on ai-assistant-data.ts nothing happens (I’d perhaps expect it to show in the code window) I would like to edit these directly and save if possible. 

It’s not about the loading.It just instantly says “Error: An error occurred while using the tool get_code”.It happens only for ‘get code’. get images, metadata, and all others are working.Both on Cursor and Claude code on Vscode. 

how long does it take to practice figma as a beginner , although  I have already have knowledge about how to use the figma app

How can I make grids that don’t change the frame size?I think I am missing a simple step.

hello with figma make can we use the design on a random figma file out of figma make ?  

When I design a presentation on Figma (as a prototype), I add the correct weight for each font (Regular, Medium, Bold, Italic) - when I present it, some of the texts’ font weight revert to Regular. Does anyone else have a similar issue? Know of any solutions so that the font weight won’t change when running a protoype? Thanks 🙂

I’m using Make to make a prototype. Today it kept changing layouts and functions when I give it something unrelated, then it won’t revert back. It say’s it has reverted back but it hasn’t.I just noticed something that was a massive change and I don’t know when it happened. Possibly hours of work gone. Very, very frustrating. Would love to know if others are getting this too.
