Editing Free vs Pro plan (payment)

Hi! I have always used the free version of Figma and had no problem giving other people editing rights and collaborating on projects. Recently, I bought the pro plan to access dev mode. Now I don’t seem to be able to give anyone editing rights without paying for their seat. Is it true that as a pro user I can’t have people editing my file without paying for an extra seat? Or am I just doing something wrong? Thank you in advance!:)

How can I make a variant push other elements inside an Auto Layout when resized?

Hi! I saw a prototype where clicking on a circle inside an Auto Layout made it expand horizontally, and the other elements next to it were pushed automatically — no frames, no manual resizing. Just Auto Layout and Variants. What am I missing to make the expanding circle push the other elements inside the Auto Layout using Smart Animate? Thanks! (The light blue example is something that works as expected, it’s from the project that I took to study, and the dark blue is mine, and it doesn’t work, even though I tried to replicate the setup, but if it’s not working it’s because I’m missing something, but I don’t know what. It just overlaps the other item) Can someone explain to me how to do this?

Figma site is not visible in Edu plan. is that right?

Does Figma work like this on all sites? Is it not working on Eduplan or am I using it incorrectly? If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know. Thank you.

Button resizing from center - Am I missing something??

Hi everyone, I have not used Figma in quite some times, and I am becoming so mad for something that is so basic… I just need help with that because I am obviously missing something here. I just want to have a component constiting of a simple button, with only a label in it. No icon, no variants with different sizes. I want this button to be resized automatically with the lentgh of the label, but from the center, NOT from left to right. And that is where I am lost. Here is what I do right now: I create my text I add an auto layout This creates a frame to which I add a fill I set my text to “Align center” I set my auto layout to “Align center” Everything is set to “Hug Content” How can I set it to be resized from the center, and not from left to right? The only workaround I have in mind, is to put this Button (text + auto layout frame) into another bigger frame, set to “center align” as well. But this seems so unnecessary, and as soon as I set this new frame to “Hug content” this goes ba

Figma sites -- Accessibility???

Watching the “Config 2025” sites looked interesting. About me i’m a tester, but watching other videos from some YouTubers, they got in and started showing the code generated for the browser. YUK YUK YUK! Or should i say <div><<div><div> It is nothing but a sea of <div>. Will be 100% unusable or an extreme pain in the (what we sit on), Not a minor pain but essentially as bad as one could ever make it, not to mention absolutely no semantic rules which any accessible site would be expected to have to make the site usable… Just seems you are effectively giving every accessible user a big middle finger… Might be i’m assuming too much but you all are away the sites you expect people will need to use will be as difficult as you can make it.

Figma Sites - Remain Live even after downgrading plan?

Hi, I’m wondering if any sites I publish with Figma Sites while on full seat will remain live online after I downgrade the plan. I’m assuming it will just not let me make any edits and publish new edits after downgrading, is that correct?

Figma Slides - Could not delete text styles until

I was trying to delete a text style in Figma slides, and couldn’t figure it out at all. Until I accidentally move the popover to discover there’s actually two popover. The one on top is covering the one on the bottom with the delete button. Figma, you might want to fix this, seems like a glaring bug.

Is it possible to fetch data from external api into figma designs?

Hey, now that Figma Sites is available to use; I wanted to know if there are any plugins or tools or methods to fetch live external data through APIs into Figma designs? Or atleast I want two way sync between any database and figma. The database can be any tool like Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable. The data should sync from both ways.

Smooth out hand-drawn curves to make a clear result. I know we can remove anchor point with ⇧⌫ but it’s too slow. What's equivalent of "Smooth Tool" in Illustrator?

`window.figma` is still unavailable on view-only pages

Figma removed window.figma from all pages in view-only mode on March 19, 2024. Shortly after, I shared a community post here, as well as on Hacker News and Twitter, which drew some attention. Figma responded both here and on Twitter, stating that the removal was unintentional and that they planned to restore the API “in the coming weeks.” Two weeks later, they revised the timeline, saying the fix would be rolled out “in the next few months.” But it’s now been 14 months, and window.figma is still unavailable. Figma has stopped responding to any follow-ups. As a Figma user, I find this level of disregard unacceptable. You made a clear public promise to the community, then quietly abandoned it. It’s hard not to suspect that the original response was just a stalling tactic to defuse backlash and buy time.

Am I able to share prototype links on the free plan?

I’m on a tight budget, so I can only use the free plan. Can I still share a link to my prototype for people to only view it on the free plan? I only need people to use the prototype to see how my project works. I didn’t see on the free plan account about sharing prototypes because the website that leads to the plan information is not working properly.

Button prototyping

Hello, I’m trying to prototype a certain button and it’s not working well. Could anyone help me? So for example, if I click 2, the 2 button gets the outline (the one 1 has now) and the 1 button should remove it. (I’m sorry for my English 😅) and vica versa. Could you please tell me how to do this prototype. The first part (2 getting an outline) was easy, but I don’t knowhow to do the second part (1 removing the outline when I click 2).

Resize constraints for a union shape

I created this tooltip box (union of a rectangle and triangle). It’s set so that the text width adjusts according to the width of the tooltip box. I also want the size of the box to be adjustable, but am coming across 2 issues: Box height isn’t changing to accommodate the text line number increasing Triangle pointer doesn’t maintain same width I’m not sure what settings are needed to fix this. This is what I have currently: Autolayout of whole component. The text itself is set to fill/hug.

From $15/mo. to $200/mo. - Unapproved Design Seats Billed to My Account - How?

For years, my personal Figma account was billed at $15/month for a single design seat. I just discovered that, over the past 3 months, Figma has been charging me for 9 additional design seats tied to ex-coworkers from a company I left nearly a year ago. My bill jumped from $15 to $200/month—without my authorization or approval. I have no idea how these ex-coworkers were added to my personal account; I never invited them, and we only collaborated through the company’s Figma account, which I lost access to immediately after leaving. Now I’m seriously concerned they may have had access to all my client files, raising major privacy and security issues. This feels incredibly shady and unprofessional, especially since I received no notice of such a major change to my subscription. I’ve contacted Figma support to request a refund and billing correction, as they’ve now locked me out of my own design files for not paying this month’s $200 charge—which I’m refusing to pay. The situation is compl
