Hi! I don't know how to fix it.The scenario is as follows:1) I created components, for example a button.2) I created a bunch of files where I plugged in this library and successfully use it.3) I updated the background color and rounding values (Variables) of the button.4) I saved the changes5) Now I expect that by synchronizing (updating) the files with the library, the changes should be pulled into the layouts, but the changes are not pulled. Moreover, if I copy a component from the library and paste it into a file to which the library is connected, Figma writes that I have a non-updated component in the file and that it needs to be updated. Clicking on update component, the settings are reset to the old ones. I attach a video, I hope someone can help =)

I noticed that Figma has a feature in the WatchOS 11 design kit, as seen at 00:09 here: https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=new-apple-ui-kitsIt’s a circular path that has controls for growing and shrinking it along the circle. How do I create this from scratch, I can’t seem to find any tools that support it.  

I’m new to Figma make so I want to make sure the pre-existing libraries are not ruined by me playing around with Figma make. When I click in Figma make on the book and I select a library and click on rewrite styles. It will only re-write the style of my Figma make or changes that I make in Figma make in terms of style will be reflected back on the original library? Because if it’s bi-directional I won't use it, but if not, I would very much like my Figma make to have the same style as our product. Thank you all

Hi everyone 👋I’m working on a project where I’d like to place two separate PDFs (each with text) into different panes inside Figma — kind of like a side-by-side document viewer. Is there any way to add a PDF (or images of the PDF pages) so that Figma can read the text itself (OCR-style), instead of it just being a flat image? Can Figma Make (or any plugin) highlight sections of the PDF text if I search or ask for something? If OCR or highlighting isn’t possible natively, are there recommended plugins, workarounds, or integrations that can help (for example, extracting the text and keeping it synced with the PDF pages)? Has anyone done something similar in Figma or knows the best way to approach it?Thanks a lot 🙏

I am developing a Figma plugin which enable product manger to add document description and save in database, I am using figma.fileKey to distinguish files, but I checked with filekey can not be used for public plugin, so I want to know whether my plugin is public plugin? for the filekey it is only used for the user self.

Hiii, I’m considering using Figma sites instead of Framer but I couldn’t find 2 things:I want to be able to define the scroll direction between screens (vertical/ landscape). So if I’m scrolling down the screen moves to the right etc. Control the click transitions. So when I click on a button or do any action I could control the transitions (like move in/out/smart animate on prototype).What am I missing?Thanks

If I give my friend editor access through my professional Figma plan in specific project, will they also be able to use all the premium features included in my plan?

Hi. I’m creating a website design comp in Figma. I want the main top graphic to scale with the window size, which I have working. The issue is that when it scales the distance of the intro copy below changes as well. I'd like to keep the same distance from the header graphic and the intro copy below. thx

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a programming assignment for my class and I’ve run into a problem that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve gone through my notes and tried different approaches, but nothing is working the way it should.I was wondering if anyone here could provide some guidance. Specifically, I’m looking for python homework help on a function that processes lists and returns unique values in sorted order. I think I might be missing something with my loops or set usage.Any advice, explanations, or code examples would be really appreciated!

“Anyone with the link” can view prototypes but users still have to log into Figma. Do users have to still log in? Is there a way to just share without having to log in?

We use Figma Design to create case study assets like social posts, PR visuals, and webpages. What’s great about this is we can share these with the client for review in present mode. This is a key feature that Figma Buzz is missing. We’d be in a position to use Buzz exclusively for our marketing if you could enter present mode.

When I run figma connect create (using html parser) figma.ts are created just fine, but the variant properties are always missing. The boolean and string properties are created consistently. I’ve tried this on numerous different components. Anyone run into this or have any insight on how to address this? 

Hi Figma Support,Since yesterday, I can’t edit text overrides in my existing button/input components with variants. Happens in browser & desktop, multiple accounts, old file versions. New components work fine, old ones like tooltips are fine. Tested without extensions, cleared cache, restarted Figma → still broken. Attaching video demo. Looks like a regression affecting variant text overrides.Thanks,

Hey there!I just published my website using Figma Sites. I connected the right domain and I had no issues with that. The problem is that the website takes forever to load in any screen, and when it comes to mobile it just doesn’t fully load. Even when I try to change my desktop windows sizes, the website crashes all the time.  Is that because I published recently, and must wait for it to “settle”? Or did I do something wrong? Here’s my website: www.deborahavila.com I appreciate immensely any help!

Hey everyone,I'm working on a Figma plugin and have hit a roadblock. My goal is to create a node on a FigJam board that contains a video with standard player controls (play, pause, scrub, etc.).I've been looking through the Figma Plugin API documentation, but I can't seem to find any method like figma.createVideo() or a way to embed a video player directly onto the board. The closest I can get is creating a shape with an image fill.Is there a way to achieve this with the Plugin API, or am I missing something? I need the video to be playable directly on the board, not just a static thumbnail that links out.

How to download Figma make file in html Locally. Thanks,Popin

I want to use Figma Slides to create my portfolio. When I try to add video to the portfolio, it asks me to pay a subscription fee. If I make a one time payment of a monthly fee, add the videos to the portfolio and publish the same, and then cancel the subscription, will people be able to see my videos on the portfolio?

I hope this message finds you well. We have submitted our application for Figma for Education verification as a trusted bootcamp provider, but until now we have not received any response. Our bootcamp is already running, and participants are currently working on their final projects, with Figma as the main learning and collaboration tool.Could you please respond, where are we going to receive verification as bootcamp provider???

Hello!I'm using the "Figma Make" function, but the "domain connection" is not working properly, so I'm making a technical inquiry.1. Is there a way to download something made of "figma make" to html, css, js, react, etc?2. Is there a way to turn off the SSL provided by Figma and use external authentication SSL?I'm trying to connect an existing domain, but it doesn't work.If you know how, can you tell me?Thank you always!

My goal is to integrate an animated carousel into my Figma Site, but I haven’t gotten it to work. I made a working carousel in a design file, using Smart Animate to animate the transitions between slides, but once I copy and pasted into my Figma Site, it stopped working in the preview and when published. I also remade the carousel in the Site file, but that didn’t change anything. The structure of my carousel is identical to the one in this video:
