Hi, I’m trying to build a skill which traces the Figma prototype for all the interactions I have wire in my Figma file. The Figma MCP is unable to return any substantial value and unable trace the prototype. Any recommendations on how can I better solve this?

In Figma, my dropdown component is set up as a frame with a white fill at 100% opacity and normal blend mode. However, underlying layers are still visible through it, even though the dropdown is positioned above other elements in the layer hierarchy. I also tried toggling “Clip content” on and off, but nothing changed. What could be causing this issue?Additionally, could anyone recommend videos or online courses that explain how to create a proper dropdown menu in Figma? I’m really struggling with building one and getting a bit frustrated with it. Thanks a lot. 

Now that Figma is officially available and expanding in India, I’ve been wondering:Why are subscriptions still not localized for Indian users?Currently:pricing is shown in USD many local payment methods are unsupported international card payments don’t work smoothly for everyone currency conversion + taxes make subscriptions more expensive and confusingFor a lot of students, freelancers, and early-stage designers in India, this becomes a major barrier even if they genuinely want to pay for Figma.Why this mattersIndia has one of the fastest-growing design and tech communities:thousands of new designers every year startups heavily adopting Figma huge student creator ecosystem increasing use of AI + collaborative design toolsA lot of people want to purchase Figma subscriptions legitimately, but the payment experience still feels built primarily for inter

Is the design system (variables, components, text styles) created inside a Figma Sites file publishable for other Figma Design or Site files to use?I’m trying to recreate a site in Figma Sites, and wondering if I should build DS inside the Site file or if I should build in an external Figma Design file, publish, and connect to the Figma Site file to use.(Optional Question)What’s the compatibility between Figma Design & Figma Sites in terms of library sharing, and what are the pros, cons, best practices? 

Research question for anyone doing data-driven design in Figma.No pitch — genuinely trying to map unsolved problems before building anything.Three scenarios I'm curious about:**1. Bulk / multi-row population**If you have a card grid, table, or list with 10+ instances — how do you currently populate them all from a dataset? Do you do it manually, row by row? Have you found a plugin that handles this well? What's still missing?**2. Sensitive data in mockups**Have you ever shared a Figma file and realized it had real customer emails, names, or phone numbers visible? Is that a concern in your workflow, or does it not come up?**3. RTL languages**If your product supports Hebrew, Arabic, or another right-to-left language — how do you handle realistic RTL text data in your prototypes? Is it painful, or have you solved it?Any of these can be answered with "not a problem for me" — that's useful data too.

Hey everyone — doing genuine research before building anything. Honest answers appreciated, including "this isn't a problem for me."As token sets grow in Figma Variables, I keep hearing about a few recurring pain points:- Naming inconsistencies across teams (color.brand.primary vs brand-primary vs brandPrimary)- Broken or circular aliases that are hard to spot manually- The same token name having different values across collections with no clear audit trail- No easy way to produce a health report you can share with your team or stakeholdersI'm exploring whether a Figma plugin focused purely on local governance and auditing would solve a real problem — or whether teams have already figured this out.A few specific questions:1. How do you currently catch naming violations or broken aliases in your token set?2. Do you use Tokens Studio for governance specifically, or mainly for sync/export?3. Has a messy token s

im a beginner on figma and i was tryna create the fade in animation for the web page im making. the animation works as, when user scrolls through the page the elements slowly fade in. n this is supposed to work like in a sequence. ive tried following tutorials and even used ai for help but the results i get were either it wont work or everything wd fade in althogether which isnt what i actually want. so idk how to make it work.

I work for an organization that is considering switching from our current design tool (Sketch) to Figma. However, we’d love to first get a demo of how Ai can be integrated into Figma so we can weigh the efficiency gains vs. time lost switching design platforms. Is it possible to get a demo for myself and my colleague?

Hi everyone,I recently received a Figma Config 2026 ticket/code, but I’m a bit confused about how and where to redeem it.The code starts in this format:CONFIG 26-XXX- XXXXXXI assume it’s meant for ticket registration or activation, but I can’t seem to find the correct redemption page anywhere on the Config website or inside my Figma account.Could anyone point me to the proper page URL or flow for redeeming these Config codes? If you’ve already done it before, a quick step-by-step would really help.Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi figma support. We'll be traveling from Argentina and we already bought hotel and plane tickets to be in San Francisco during Config's dates as this was part of our organization approval process. It was approved today morning and we realized the tickets are sold out, we're so sad since this was something we started planning two months ago and our organization time for approving these requests is long. We'll be tremendously grateful if you could help us since traveling from our country is a big deal for us and effort. 🙏 Thank you!

Hey, I’ve got a problem. I want to publish my website in Figma Make, but it says the file is under review, and because of that I can’t publish my project to a Figma domain.How can I fix this?

Hi Figma team, I’m Noah Elhadedy, a UI/UX designer and founder of Djectstudio. I’m trying to publish and sell my design products on Figma, but the option seems to be unavailable or locked on my account. I already have a design agency and an existing product store where I sell UI kits, templates, and digital design resources: https://djectstudio.com/store I’d like to know how I can enable access to selling or publishing products on Figma. Is there a specific application process, eligibility requirement, creator program, or marketplace approval needed? Could you please guide me on the next steps to unlock this option or apply for access? Thanks in advance. Best,Noah ElhadedyDjectstudio

Hello,  I recently submitted my public OAuth app for review, and have included a testing URL and detailed instructions for the team to test with, but I had a fundamental question about testing - if the app is not approved, that means the OAuth flow will only work for my own account (i.e. the same account that submitted the app). For the OAuth flow to work for any other Figma login, the app has to be published in public mode. If that is the case, how will the review team be able to test the app before it is approved? What am I missing here?

We need to amend our subscription package under the Enterprise contract. I have already reached out to the support team via email but have not received a response.As the contract renewal is due in three working days, could you please advise on how we may escalate this matter or the best way to reach the relevant team for urgent assistance? 

Hi Figma Community!I'm working on a design-to-code automation tool and would like to integrate with Figma's Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint.The IssueWhen requesting the mcp:connect scope during OAuth authorization, I receive:{"error": true,"status": 400,"message": "Invalid scopes for app"}OAuth App Details:Redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/callback Current working scopes: files:read, file_comments:write Blocked scope: mcp:connectQuestionsIs the mcp:connect scope available for third-party OAuth apps?

I have been trying to contact sales for 3 - 4 days now. I have several questions that need to be answered by a person. Does any one have a phone number for sales? I can see this is an ongoing problem that others have had for months.

I'm using Figma in Japan.I'm considering upgrading, but the Professional plan only allows video uploads.https://www.figma.com/ja-jp/pricing/Does this mean I can't create video files within Figma or export entire files as videos (like MP4)?Also, can I play videos and audio when launching a prototype using the Figma mobile app?Please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a multi-brand design system in Figma using Variables, and I’ve structured it into three collections:• Primitives• Semantics• ComponentsBoth the Semantics and Components collections use the same set of modes, which represent different brand themes (Brand X, Brand Y, etc.).However, I’m running into a problem:At the moment, there’s no way to tell Figma that the modes in these separate collections are related to each other. Because of that, interaction colors defined in the Semantics collection (for example blue in Brand X and green in Brand Y) can both appear as blue in the Components collection preview.This becomes confusing because when both modes are actually applied to a component, the final rendered result is different from what the Variables preview in Figma suggests.One possible solution I’m considering is merging the Semantics and Components layers

Hi all,My team is trying to connect Figma and GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent (not GitHub's local VSCode coding agent). Our end goal is enabling the cloud coding agent to access Figma MCP tools like  “get_code”/”get_design_context”. Since there's no public plans yet on any direct connection between the two, I have questions about potential alternatives:Are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma MCP to support a PAT or API based authorization? This would be incredibly useful for apps that don't use Oauth like GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent. Or, are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma's Rest API's to access equivalents of the MCP tools like `get_design_context`?So far, we've built our own intermediary (https://github.com/bitovi/ai-coding-agent) that handles the OAuth between Figma's MCP & GitHub's Cloud C

We are successful in accessing the figma remote MCP exposed at "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp" via OAuth based access via browser SSO login. We are exploring ways to automate figma MCP access in a headless mode so would like to understand passing PAT token for remote MCP authentication. We tried passing PAT in Auth headers and X-Figma-Token header but get unauthorized for remote MCP at this endpoint "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp". We are able to use the dev mode and local MCP with the figma desktop app as explained above we need to access these tools in a headless mode and would understand if there are any settings that needs to be enabled at the admin level to support PAT for remote MCP auth. ❯ curl --location 'https://mcp.figma.com/mcp' \--header 'Content-Type: application/jso

Hi everyone.I’m currently working on a multi-brand design system  and I’ve separated everything into two files: A Foundations file containing all Variables and Styles A Components file where those Variables and Styles are imported and used The idea behind this setup was scalability. If additional digital products need to connect to the foundations layer in the future, they could independently consume and publish the shared foundations without being tied directly to the component library.However, I’m running into a few practical issues.Because the system is large and multi-brand, I spend a huge amount of time publishing updates in the Foundations file and then importing those updates again into the Components file. When hundreds of variables change at once, this becomes a lot of repetitive back-and-forth work.In addition, I sometimes encounter a bug where a variable appears

I can’t seem to figure it out. Is this referring to an auto-layout setting? Or something to do with preferred instances?  

Is there a way to remove libraries on project/ team level which was enabled on organization-wide level by admin? Without need of organization admin.I can't see these libraries in admin panel as a workspace admin, neither in Team or Project settings. Users can manually remove these libraries in each file, but we have whole teams working with specific local libraries

I’m designing a website in Figma, and my design is built with Auto Layout. I’ve now switched to present mode to test my prototype. However, elements look different in present mode than they do in the design. The layout looks broken in the preview. But in the design, everything is working as it should, including the responsibilities. Do you have any idea? Design:Present / Preview
