Hi! I’m new to Figma Make and I just generated a screen using it. I’d like to continue editing that screen in my usual Figma workspace (not inside Make), but I’m not sure how to bring it into my main file. Is there a standard way to transfer or import Make-generated designs into regular Figma files? Thanks in advance for your help!

​​​​Example of Figma NOT exporting the gradient I set a gradient in the Fill and when I export the image the background will NOT contain the gradient fill? why is that?

I am trying to use the plugin ‘Magician’ in Figma, but when I do, it asks for an access code. However, when I click ‘Start Free Trial,’ it just loops back to Figma. What am I missing?

i have been using figma make for my recent project, i have used it around 2 days . but now when i send a prompt it throws an error “ something went wrong try agin after some time” i have tried duplicating the file and waited for more time still the issue persist note: ( i am facing this issue after 2 days of usage it mean i have made around 300 prompts and more)

If I use “ctrl + c” to copy a file from my computer, then select the layer in Figma I want to update and use “ctrl +v” to paste/replace it. The layer will inherit the name of the file on the desktop. So if it’s “IMG_ASD123” the Figma layer changes to be named this instead of what it was labeled in Figma. Is this a recent update? It never used to happen? It’s a bit frustrating as I used to name my layers “Asset (3:4)” or whatnot to indicate to dev what the ratio of the asset was but now I need to keep renaming it everytime I copy/paste a new assets onto the layer. Is there a way to disable this at all? Thanks in advance! 🙂

If I change the icon in a button and then change the state of a button from default to hover, the icon color does NOT change. (works fine if you don’t change the icon)I’m using stroke icons, and the scope settings in the color variable is set up to handle stroke. Please let me know what I need to do to so the swapped icon will change color on override.Video: https://monosnap.com/file/RUUxOXXXdznZoemEG4Aow5wO4As8Vx

I simply drag and drop a component to inside of another component but didn’t work. I can’t add component as a child element to another component.

My Figma app updated and the new layers UI has become unusable for me. I rely heavily on the previous layer icons to know what is a frame vs a group vs autolayout vs a component. The images in the layers panel is not useful to me. Is there a way to restore the old icons in the layers panel?

I’m trying to use Figma Buzz to create some templates. We have an icon library that uses a swap instance property within the component to swap out the icon as well as a property to define the size of the icon. As you can see in the image, it is only showing that first property of size of the icon and doesn’t let me switch out the actual icon with the instance swap. Is this a bug or limitation? If I click one more time it does show me my nested instance property where I can turn on the fill of the icon, but I don’t see how to access all the icons through the instance swap property we have on the component. This image shows the replacements it’s offering me, which is to only change the size of the icon. This image shows our original component we have size properties to define the size of the icon, and then an instance swap to choose the actual icon. Are we doing this wrong for this to be useful in Figma Buzz. Why can’t we see this other property in Figma Buzz?

Hi, I have lost an important file on Figma and I can’t find the file in any of my projects section or in the deleted section. It just disappeared completely and when I tried to access it through a past link, I am getting the following message: You can’t access this resource Contact the owner, an admin, or support for assistance. (Screenshot attached). I have a ton of my work in it and the file is very important to my work. I hope you could help me retrieve it. Thank you in advance,

Hi, I’ve placed a component with a variant (an expanded dropdown on click) within another component (a form). When I place an instance of my ‘form’ component into a frame the dropdown variant doesn't prototype correctly, it appears all squashed/distorted. Does anyone know why a component would stop working once it’s nested within another component? Thank you

Hi everyone, I used to copy an image (Ctrl+C from browser or local folder) and then paste it (Ctrl+V) directly into an image component in Figma - like for cards or avatar images - and it would automatically replace the image. But recently, this no longer works. When I try pasting, nothing happens. Now Figma only shows options like “Upload from computer” or “Make an image” (screenshot attached). I’m wondering: is this a recent change or bug in Figma?Is there still a way to paste an image directly into a component without having to upload it manually? Thanks in advance!

Download code button I spotted the "Download Code" option in the upper right corner of the editor, but I noticed that there is no "package.json" file. Is there any documentation or a way to run these projects locally using my own IDE?

Hi, I have created a dropdown component with variables where i select option and it update the text in field. But the problem is that when i am using this component in other file and the option text changed then it is not changing the option text when i am opening the dropdown it is showing the basic value that was set in base component open state.In component i set local variable for label (Variable: SelectOption)For each option in dropdown options i set variable option1, option2 and so on Now in other file i am using that component and create some local variables for select option and options in list. I detach the variable and assign new local variables. But when i am checking it in “Present” mode it is still showing me Option 1 and Option 2 in list Really need help here that how can i update the variables in other file to use the same functionality

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?

Hello! I am trying to get variables from my library, just that.

Hi all, As shown in the attached image, I'd like to rename the text boxes in the template so that, when I create a spreadsheet to merge data, the column headers match contextually. For example, instead of generic names like "Text 2" or "Text 3", I’d prefer to rename them to something more meaningful—such as “Name” and “Job Role”. Could anyone advise on the best way to do this? Thanks!

Hi! Today I opened Figma and the Design file disappeared from the Team project. I didn't delete it and it's not in the trash either. Definitely not 30 days have passed, because a couple of days ago I sent a link to another person to view. At the same time, other design files remained in the team project. Maybe someone has had the same thing happen recently and managed to solve it somehow?

Hello, We have encountered an issue with a paid plugin in our team workspace.One of our team members cannot see or access a plugin that was purchased for the entire team. We have already tried: Logging out and logging back in. Restarting the Figma app / clearing browser cache. Reinstalling the plugin. Could you please help us resolve this? Thank you!

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?

First of all, kudos to the Figma team for Sites, it’s an amazing product even in beta. I've been looking forward to Figma making this happen, an easy way to publish a website directly. I’ve been moving our website from Framer to Figma hoping to switch, however I encountered one issue: I have text styles with breakpoints for desktop, tablet and mobile. Everything looks good in the preview, however when I publish the site, styles use the values for the mobile breakpoints even on the desktop. Interestingly enough, if I resize the browser window to a smaller size and then back again, it works. So it looks like the first view is the one with the issue. At some point, I think it was working properly, but now this issue is back again. I can’t seem to see any correlations with anything else I’m doing. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Thank you,Panos

windows的网页端figma两侧组件栏如何缩小？？？不知怎么操作现在变得很大，但缩小不回去，我说的不是中间画布那块，是两侧的组件栏

Questions: How Can I Export All My Design Variables as a .JSON to my developer without a plugin in dev mode I do not see an export option? How Can I Export All My Design Variables as a .JSON to my developer with a plugin? Do you have a recommended plugin and steps? I tried Design Studio but did not understand how to easily export everything in the below screenshot. I would prefer to learn how to do it directly in Figma. Thoughts? Thank you SO much!

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?
