HiWe are not getting the option of "file_variables:read" scope while creating a Personal Access Token(PAT) in the backend, required to fetch variables through APIs.I'm creating a plugin, so through code, I want to fetch the styles and variables, present in any libraryI'm able to fetch the text styles only, but not able to fetch the spacing and colour stylesHow do I move ahead with this?Thank You

I recently upgraded my laptop to an NVIDIA 5070 (8GB model), hoping to resolve the performance issues I had with my old 3060 (4GB), which I assumed was struggling to handle Figma.Unfortunately, the upgrade hasn’t helped yet. I’ve tried enabling the High Performance GPU option for Figma in both Windows and NVIDIA settings, and I’ve explored almost every solution I could find online. At this point, I’m starting to think the issue is Figma itself.Figma has never felt like a truly smooth experience for me; there is always a choppy feeling to the app, like a bit of a "Frankenstein’s Monster." Recently, however, that drag has felt even more intense. To see what I mean, try changing colors using the color picker in the Variables panel or running a Smart Animate transition with a large dataset.Can someone please tell me if I’m missing something? Is there a hidden "magical switch" in the

I’ve made a web-app with figma make, and was happy to see that Push to Github was an option, but I’m having issues with this feature. Whenever I made a change to code, either by ai or manual, I saw that Github didn’t recieve the updated code. I investigated som more and found out that Figma don’t understand how files from the project were being pushed.I have a root directory in github, with one folder (/src). Here, all my files from figma make lies (Public etc) What I noticed is that Figma creates two index.html files, two package.json, two vite.config.ts  on push.The original files from Make is in /scr. and another basic version gets put on the Github root.I’ve tried to figure out how to fix or work around this, but I cannot figure it out. I’ve tried moving the correct versions to Github root, but to no help. And to make it worse, they get overwritten with every push. Must be some more files not being pushed to the right location.

Hey can someone explain me how I can make the form submission actually sends out forms to services like getform or formspree? It never sends any submissions.Ive created the website via figma make.I asked the AI to make this form actually submit and didnt work. I used GPT to help me, but no. This might have messed up the code too. So Im rly lost and am not savvy in these areas at all.  

https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=more-new-features-in-figma-make Hi everyone! Has anyone encountered the new features in Figma Make, such as the in-place editing or navigation tabs? Since their release, I haven’t been able to see them yet. I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to access these features. I’ve already refreshed the entire application, and we’re subscribed to a paid plan.   

I’m wondering if it’s possible to share view only files to our community pages but when users view it they can’t copy an element and paste it elsewhere?  I’m asking because I think it’d be cool to share my Figma community link with clients as a portfolio. 

We’re running into an issue with Code Connect that started last Friday.We’re currently rebuilding our Design System, and up until last week we were using Code Connect successfully to map Figma components to code in our GitHub repo. Since last Friday, variant restrictions no longer match as expected, so the intended use cases/examples don’t appear even though the file still publishes without errors.What we observe Publishing the .figma.tsx file succeeds. Repo access/permissions appear unchanged (Figma still has access to the repo). The Code Connect example that should match a specific variant combination never shows. This exact setup was working correctly before last Friday. Example:In our .figma.tsx file for the component (Checkbox), we restrict the ex

Hey all, I am finally getting round to trialing out Code Connect, Figma MCP and the like to see how it all works and if there are any noticeable benefits to these features for my wider team.I had some issues initially setting up, but have finally gotten to the point where I can connect them to GitHub, for testing  purposes I am using the Figma Design System and corresponding coded components. However when connected, I get this error, and I am unsure how to fix it. Has anyone come across this before, and any advice on how to resolve? Thanks!  

Hi! 👋🏼I’d like to update my forum profile handle to match my community profile handle.On the community:https://www.figma.com/@talesebnerCurrent forum handle:https://forum.figma.com/members/tales-ebner-126542 I wanted to have both as talesebner.Btw, can't you fix this and make them one account from now and on?

Hi Figma Community! I recently played the Letter Boxed game by NYT and was fascinated by how it emphasizes pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving.I’m curious about exploring how similar game mechanics can inspire UX and design projects in Figma: Can pattern-based challenges like Letter Boxed be used as design exercises to improve layout, typography, or interaction thinking? How can strategic and lateral thinking from word games inform creative wireframing or prototyping? Does anyone here experiment with gamified design exercises or collaborative design games to boost creativity in teams? I’d love to hear your insights, examples, or tips on integrating playful problem-solving into UX/UI workflows.Thanks!

Hello, I made a mistake in the organization name and I need to edit it. How can I do it? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I’m trying to obtain an MSI of the latest update of Figma Desktop in order to package/deploy to several of our users. I have the exe file but would prefer to have an MSI.Is there a link for this?  thank you, Chris

I want to ask my company to request the early access to Figma Slots feature - https://www.figma.com/blog/schema-2025-design-systems-recap/#slots - but I’m afraid this will increase our subscription price. Can you tell me if this feature has an extra price or not?

Hey everyone! 👋I’m currently building my portfolio site with Figma Sites (loving it so far! 🎉), but I’m running into a GDPR question.I plan to add Google Analytics for basic traffic stats — which means I technically need a cookie consent modal for GDPR compliance (I’m in the EU).As far as I can see, Figma Sites doesn’t (yet) support any built-in cookie consent options.So my questions: How are others here handling cookie consent with Figma Sites? Is there any native solution planned? Have you successfully embedded 3rd party tools like CookieYes, Osano or others? Any tips or workarounds would be super appreciated! 🙏

This auto-layout frame is a child/inside a basic frame that I should be able to move things around in.  How the heck do I turn this off when I hover over to click and drag. all I want to do is drag the group/autolayout over a bit manually and arrows in this small space are producing too large of a move. this comes up for me a ton and it’s insanely annoying. I can’t click and drag without it also changing the auto layout spacing.  if I want to change that I will go to the tool sidebar and do it myself.  I don’t need this pink stuff trying to do it for me just because i’ve hovered over it.Also, FYI - I couldn’t even screengrab it through the OS, because this literally happens on hover, so I snapped it with my phone - hence the bad photo, apologies.  

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get hold of the Figma Android APK? I’d like to sideload it onto a device which does not have access to the Play Store in order to test a prototype in situ.

Hi, I'm learning Auto Layout, and I've made this without Auto Layout, but as my goal with Auto Layout. What I'm wondering about the technique, when cards have different sizes but stack on top of each other and span different columns. I'm not sure about which 'order' or how to make it right. My goal (Cards with different sizes but stack on top of each other and span different columns)​​​​​ 

I recently started using the paid plan of Fima. I am still learning all the new features i got with the professional plan. Yesterday i found out that i cannot access the first draft ai feature from the action tab as shown in the tutorial videos.

I have been thinking about how different apps handle data refresh and user feedback, especially when it comes to information that users expect to be accurate instantly. In design tools like Figma, small delays or unclear states are usually communicated well through loading indicators, sync messages, or manual refresh options, so users understand what is happening.On the other hand, I have noticed with some everyday apps, for example checking my FAB bank balance on mobile, that the information does not always update clearly and there is no obvious indication whether the data is current or cached. It made me curious from a product and UX perspective how teams decide when to auto refresh sensitive data versus requiring a manual action, and how designers communicate trust and accuracy without overwhelming the user.Are there best practices in interface design or state handling that help avoid this kind of confusion, especially for apps where users rely on up to date informa

When I bought my ticket for Config I put my role and title but it has since changed. I’m wondering do you update that when you pick up your badge at Config or do you do it prior. 

The error message above prompt says : Files that are too largelarge files break figma make but i have deleted some of those files and it still stock on same message 

The previous designers of my team turned to library every file that they created because they thought it was a good practice to turn each final screen into a component.Now I have a huge libraries list that is worthless but I still want to be the owner/editor of the source files.Is there a way to cleanup this mess?

Hello! I am having an issue in my Figma Site. I have the navigation set to sticky and it scrolls with the page successfully. It scrolls behind the other content on the page however. It is on the top layer of the layer tree and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to fix it. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, I’ve suddenly lost access to a Figma file that I personally created in November (between 11/03 and 11/25 I believe) using my personal account.The file no longer appears in any of my workspaces (Drafts, Teams or Trash), but the direct link still works and asks me to “Request access”. This is a professional client project and I urgently need to recover access due to some modifications asked. I only have two Figma accounts, and the other one (a university email that I no longer have access to) has been inactive for years.This is the first and only time that this has happened to me, and sadly I don’t have a backup file.Could someone from the Figma team please help check which account or workspace owns this file and assist in restoring access or transferring ownership?Thank you. File name: [redacted by moderator to remove per
