how long will i learn Figma for product design 

hi all,I am having an issue with Figma and was wondering if there is a way to change the default view when opening a file.I have a process flow created on the canvas, but when I open the file, it lands on a large empty area of the infinite canvas rather than on the actual content. As a result, I have to manually scroll and zoom to find my diagram every time. I know where to scroll, but my business user wont know  Hence, I understand that the canvas itself is infinite, but I would like to know:Can I set a default starting position or view for the file? Can I make Figma automatically open centered on my content/sectionAny suggestions would be appreciated.

I have turned on two-factor authentication, but recently the account found an information update, resulting in a prompt when updating the plug-in“We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to proceed”

Hey,I built a plugin, G-paint, a geometric shape grid generator for icons and patterns. The web version is live at https://g-paint.comI want to publish it as paid. There's no Metrics tab or Set up Stripe on my profile (@idanshani), and I've never had an approval email.Fig told me two things: that the "not approving new creators" note applies to paid files and not to paid plugins, and that I should apply through the "selling resources on Community" guide.But that guide has no application in it. The only thing it says about approval is that new creators aren't being approved for paid files.So how does someone actually get approved to sell a plugin? Is there a form, or does it have to be enabled manually on the account?I'm on a Starter plan so email support isn't open to me, which is why I'm asking here.thanksIdan 

A few weeks ago Make was amazing. Now I can’t find how to revert anything. What is going on that Figma would take a giant leap back? And I just used a bunch of AI credits trying to figure it out.

Is there anyway to bring back the black background for the figma icon?

I’m exploring ways to visually communicate sustainability and conservation concepts in facility management projects. A clear design system can help explain how services such as energy management, waste reduction, water conservation, maintenance, and responsible resource use contribute to more sustainable facilities.For example, when presenting a project involving the best Facility Services Providers Riyadh, a designer could use simple diagrams, icons, process flows, and before-and-after visuals to show how conservation practices affect a building’s daily operations.What are some effective Figma approaches for presenting environmental or conservation-focused facility management concepts without making the design feel too complex?

I am looking to sign up for the Enterprise Plan and have contacted the sales team twice via the inquiry form, but unfortunately, I have not received any response so far.I would greatly appreciate your assistance in helping me get in touch with a sales representative.It would be helpful if a Figmate representative could reach out to the sales team on my behalf. Thank you in advance!

How can I make sure the finished mobile app looks and works like the original Figma design?

Hi, I'm trying to build a list component with slots, and I want to control the items' size from the parent element so that all items are consistent and container logic can be applied.So I've connected the variables on the size for each building block inside the item (icon, title, description...) then I applied the size mode on the parent frame (list compoent)It works well when I change the mode directly, but it resets the content when using the variants. What did I do wrong?I know one solution may be to remove the variants and use the modes directly, but I'd really like to keep the property more visible and easier to track in library analytics.Thank you.

Hi Figma Support Team,I am using a Figma Professional plan, and I am facing an issue with my account sessions.Whenever I log in to my Figma account on my second laptop, it automatically logs me out of my first laptop. I then have to log in again on the first laptop.I am also seeing the message “Some of your sessions were logged out” when this happens. I have attached a screenshot of the error message for your reference.Could you please help me understand why this is happening and provide a solution? I need to use my Figma Professional account on both laptops without being logged out repeatedly.Please let me know if there are any account settings or security steps I need to change to resolve this issue.To clarify, I am using the same Figma account/email on both laptops. I am not switching between different Figma accounts.The issue is that when I log in to my Figma account on my second laptop, my existing session on my first laptop gets logged out automatically. I then have to log in aga

Hi!Hi!I just updated Figma (126.8.18) and now I have huge problems with simply copying and pasting objects, images, icons or text. When I copy and paste an object (on the left) in to a folder (see dark box on the right) it completely breaks the properties and decimal values. It stretches images and the auto width text feature breaks too and is set to Fixed size with a random / broken decimal value.It happens across all Figma projects. I’ve reset Figma and restarted the application and Mac.Help / Troubleshooting / Reset Figma and RestartCan anyone help?Thanx / F

I’m trying to publish my Figma plugin to Figma Community, but I’m blocked by this message:“We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to proceed.”The only recent change I made to my Figma account was enabling 2-step authentication.Since then, I haven’t been able to publish my plugin to Figma Community.I’ve already contacted Figma Support by email, but I haven’t received a solution yet.I also found another Community post describing a very similar issue after enabling multi-factor authentication, where the account needed to be verified by Support before publishing could be enabled.Has anyone experienced the same issue recently, or does anyone from the Figma Community Support team know how I can get the account verification completed?I’m happy to provide any information needed to verify ownership of my account.Thank you! 

I'm on a Starter plan and reached the Figma MCP tool call limit.When does my MCP allowance reset and then how can i see it?

Hello, We are 6 people arriving in Bengaluru. I would like to know if there is luggage storage facility to keep our backpacks. Request you to confirm. Thank you.

Hi everyone,Our product is moving to PrimeVue 4.0.0, and I'd like a reality check on our design system setup.Current approach: we copy individual components from the PrimeVue Figma Kit into our design system and keep them linked to the PrimeVue library.What I'm proposing instead: duplicate the whole PrimeVue Figma Kit and use it as our own separate design system library.All PrimeVue components stay unchanged. The main customization is our own primitive colors, plus adjusting PrimeVue settings to match our design. We keep PrimeVue variables as they are. Our own variables go into the custom folder in PrimeVue's variables. Our custom components and icons have separate names, agreed with our developer.Updates: when a new PrimeVue Figma file comes out, I'd compare it with ours (with AI help if possible), then move the needed changes manually. If the changes are too big, I'd copy our custom parts into the new file instead.Is this a valid approach in practice? Has anyone worked this way with

I wasn’t sure how to make some interactions, so I ended up prompting Figma Make to make them happen, but now I can’t get everything out to edit. Do you know how I can do this without paying for a code converter to convert the code back into a Figma deisgn?

C’EST UNE catastrophe ABSOLUE QUI M’A RAMENER À PERDRE TOUT MON TRAVAIL PARCE QU’IL N’YA PAS DE L’ACTION “ TRADUCTION DE TEXTE “ DANS L’INTERFACE DE DISCUSSION AVANT L’ENVOIE DE PROMPTS , EN TRAVAILLANT SUR MON PROJET SUR “ FIGMA MAKER “ .. C’EST UN HANDICAP MAJEUR POUR MOI ?????.. C’EST incompréhensible  D’ALLER SUR UNE AUTRE PLATEFORME POUR TRADUIRE UNE PHRASE ET RETOURNER SUR “ FIGMA POUR TRAVAILLER ????????????????????

Why is this menu here? Why can’t I close it? If it’s supposted to be there (it’s not), why can’t I move it?I want to work on the icon behind the menu, but after asking a completely useless agent for help I can’t even see the icon.  

"Hi everyone, is anyone else experiencing the same issue as me? When I try to enable pay-as-you-go AI credit consumption for my Figma Make project, the budget slider is stuck at 200 and it's impossible to increase it. Thanks and have a great day!"

Hi Figma team,I'd like to request a per-account option to disable the AI sparkle (✦) icon that appears when hovering over elements in the editor.Currently, the only way to turn off Figma AI features is at the team admin level, which requires admin access and affects all team members. There's no way for an individual user to opt out of the AI hover trigger on their own account.For users who don't use Figma AI, this icon adds visual noise to the editing experience and can interfere with the workflow — especially when working with dense layers or small elements, where the sparkle icon overlaps with other controls.Requested behavior: add a toggle in user account preferences (e.g. Account Settings → Editor preferences) to show/hide the AI sparkle icon on hover, independently from team-level AI settings.Thank you for considering this!
