Is there a way to iterate something I created with figma make on figma design? I already arrived to a good result but I can not take the results I have to a user flow on a figma design page :(

Hi everyone, I’m currently designing in Sketch on my desktop, and I upload those files to Figma for collaboration. What I’d like to do is upload a new version of a Sketch file over an existing Figma file — essentially replacing the old file without creating a new one each time. Does Figma allow direct overwriting of files from Sketch, or is there a workaround or recommended approach for keeping the file updated in the same Figma location without duplicating or manually transferring everything each time. Thanks!

I'm thinking about building my portfolio using Figma Sites, but before I start, I wanted to ask: does Figma allow you to password-protect specific pages or projects? I’d like to make some sections private or only accessible to certain people.

Hi all. I have a couple of frames that have placed image in. I want to export as .svg format. I can see the image in the preview and on the preview of the .svg. But when I open the .svg in adobe illustrator the image isnt there and just should a blank box… Any ideas? It worked fine in sketch before.

Hello. I am trying to develop my android application. Now I am creating design for this. I don’t know how to do prototype between text input and opening user’s account of this app.For example,If I want to log in my account in this app,I should insert text in such strings as login and password and after this my account opens. How to do this? How to setup a right prototype in this case before coding?

Hi, I have a component with an animation in it that runs automatically (after delay). When I use an instance of my component in a Figma slide, it only animates the first time the slide opens. I want it to run everytime the slide opens. Can this be done somehow?

Hi, is there a way in Figma to create an inner gradient (or blend)? It should go from 100% to 0% opacity like this example.

Hi, I have a question about a variable/component I created. I’ve set up a condition where, when the toggle or switch is turned on, the dropdown menu becomes enabled, and when the toggle or switch is turned off, the dropdown menu becomes disabled. However, I noticed that when I turn the toggle off, the selected item in the dropdown resets to its default value. Why is this happening? Before [Condition Switch is OFF] After Switch to Active After [Condition Switch is ON] This is my Condition

Hello everyone, I’ve stumbled upon a rather frustrating issue when exporting frames to JPG — and I wonder if anyone has experienced the same, or has a clue where to dig. When I export a frame to JPG (doesn’t matter whether it’s @1x, @2x, or @3x), I keep seeing strange artifacts. Specifically: it looks as if some pixels shift places — like tiny glitches — and what’s most odd, they appear in different places depending on the export scale. All positions of my artboard and all the objects inside the frame are aligned to whole numbers (e.g., 2412 instead of 2412.54). I double-checked all coordinates — no fractions hiding anywhere. Yet, the exported JPG shows these random pixel-level misalignments, and it’s making me a little… poetic with frustration. Has anyone else encountered this? Could this be a rendering bug, or am I missing something subtle? Looking forward to your thoughts and wisdom — and may your pixels stay aligned. Thank you! upd. I noticed this problem on Windows, but not on Mac

I have some buttons that have a hover effect and in the prototype there is slight movement of the content. I checked the position of the content to be the same in both instances (default and hovered) in regards to the margins and in between items I applied a “while hovering” interaction with instant animation This also seems to happen in between separate screens of a prototype for text in a header component that doesn’t have animation applied or any other interaction. Anyone has any idea?

Very low performance speed in Figma Make when the thread reaches large sizes (currently 230+ iterations). All actions in the chat area occur with a significant delay (typing, scrolling, etc.), making it impossible to work. However, the prototype itself works well within FM. Has anyone encountered this? What could be the cause? Could it be related to the power of the laptop?

I’m trying to publish an bugfix update of our plugin, and the Publish plugin window displays the error “Please enable two-factor authentication to publish this plugin”. Our company uses SSO, and does not have two-factor enabled. The support page at https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042293394-Publish-a-plugin-to-the-Community says You need to have two-factor authentication enabled to publish plugins, including publishing updates to existing plugins. You won’t need to use two-factor authentication if you sign in to Figma via SAML SSO or Google SSO. But I can’t find any further information about how to publish the update without enabling two-factor.

Hi I’d like to embed a Product hunt button on my site: www.appvelocity.io How could we do that?I suspect it will be a popular requirement! Heres the embed code: <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/products/velocity-8?embed=true&utm_source=badge-featured&utm_medium=badge&utm_source=badge-velocity&#0045;ai&#0045;user&#0045;testing" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.producthunt.com/widgets/embed-image/v1/featured.svg?post_id=943146&theme=light&t=1752092719391" alt="Velocity&#0058;&#0032;AI&#0032;user&#0032;testing - Prompt&#0032;Figma&#0032;prototypes&#0032;then&#0032;test&#0032;with&#0032;humans | Product Hunt" style="width: 250px; height: 54px;" width="250" height="54" /></a> We’d appreciate anyone’s support on Product hunt for our Figma plugin: https://www.producthunt.com/products/velocity-8/

Hi there,I'm using an .xlsx spreadsheet in my Figma Buzz template. I link all the fields and it updates and creates new art (yay) but the spreadsheet disappears so if i have additional files to make or want to update content, I have to start over with linking field. Can you help me understand: How to correctly link or embed a spreadsheet so changes can be synced? If I'm missing a step to update or refresh the data after editing the file? Thanks in advance!

Hello, we are looking to set up a new Design System in my company and can’t decide on the 2 or 3 tier system for tokens. Due to very limited resources, we are leaning towards 2 tiers, but I really like the idea of Component-specific tokens (3rd tier). I have found a tutorial demonstrating the setup of Semantic tokens, but they were actually categorised and named as Component-specific (video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O2sROtE3uI) Is this a usual practice? Could we define some Component specific tokens on the second level alongside Semantic tokens? Any advice is very welcome. Thank you.

“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?

Hi, team; I’m trying to access my Figma account. The log-in email is x***@**.edu, as I already lost access to this email, I cannot verify the account and log in to my Figma. Could you help me get access to this account, or can I update my email address from your end? I submitted two requested and they were automatically marked as solved. Thank you

I’ve been using the embed feature to add my prototype to a website. It was working at first on both Wix and Squarespace (but I honestly don’t think it’s the website that is the issue), showing the prototype and frames for a specific page (desktop, mobile, and tablet). Everything interactable and working fine. But for some reason, when I go to copy the embed code (because I was changing background color and whatnot), the code is different and instead embeds the entire design file. I have been manually going in to the page, selecting the starting frame, presenting, and sharing/copying it from there, which has worked for me until recently. Now, it displays the first page of my design file, giving the option to change between pages - which I don’t want to show. I’ve tried embedding from different pages, but the code is still the same Initial embed code (for desktop home page): <iframe style="border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);" width="450" height="400" src="https://embed.figma.com/proto/

I just setup my first site in figma sites. I’m using godaddy for registrar and DNS. www.site_name.com works perfectly https://site_name.com does not direct to the figma site How do I set things up so that both the www and not-www point to figma?

Is it possible to lock everything (and prevent access to design mode) except editing text and uploading images on templates? Some users are changing fonts (size, style, etc.). It would be great to have more control other than just totally locking components.

Hello. I have recieved notification on email that my student plan expires in 4 weeks, though it has been only 1 year since i’ve registered in figma and i also verified my edu plan this year. I have read that student plan is valid for 2 years, so why mine expires so soon?

Hi everyone. I’m still a beginner in Figma and I have been trying to create an interactive map to put as an embedding element on a website.I was trying to make use of the hover effect so the image will be changed into different colour to emphasise it. The problem is the boarder lines between countries - as the components cannot be placed on the same layer, the overlapping boarder will not be shown properly with the selected component. Please see below. Is there any way to fix this or how should I add layer to it? Thanks a lot!
