Our team is noticing that our main design system library is having hundreds of changes flagged in the publishing panel, even after a weekend of not working on the library. The panel shows what’s modified, removed, or added, but isn’t clear what the changes are or what caused them. It’s scary publishing these types of updates because they aren’t coming from our team. Is this something being caused by Figma? How can we feel comfortable publishing so many changes when we weren’t even the ones making them? 

I don’t know if this is a bug or simply a feature I don’t get: Shadows look completely different when applied to a shape with a fill vs. an auto layout of the same dimensions with the same fill. Even stranger, when clip content is applied to the auto layout the shadow looks the same as it does on the shape.Is there anything I can do to ensure a shadow renders the same whether or not it is applied to a shape, a frame or other object? And what’s with the clip content difference? I would have expected the shadow to look different with clip content enabled, not the other way around.I’d be much obliged if anyone could enlighten me. 

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 submitted my plugin for review on March 8th, and as of today (March 27th) I still haven't received any feedback from the Figma team. No approval, rejection, or requests for changes.That's over 20 days of waiting, while the submission form indicated a turnaround of 5-10 business days.Could anyone share how long the review process is currently taking? Is this wait time normal right now, or should I follow up somewhere specific?

I’m working on a prototype of a website to purchase tickets for events, and I have the checkout process set up like this:Go to ‘Schedule’,Select the show (in this case, the show for ‘Mello Quake’),Select ‘Add To Cart’, which redirects you to your cart.Note: When adding to cart, this toggles a “Cart” variable to be set to “True”, which will change the ‘Add to Cart’ button to a variant that reads “View in Cart”. Both buttons have an animated hover state.From there, you are able to empty the cart by making the counter in the cart go to ‘0’. A pop up will appear as a warning, letting you know that this will empty the cart, and ask the user if that’s what they want to do. When testing this, I have been hitting “Yes” to empty the cart. Doing this will set the “Cart” variable to “False”. Ideally, when the “Cart” variable is set back to false, the button on the show page will change back to the “Add to Cart” varia

Hi guys, I subscribed to figma not because I just wanted to use Figma Make. I thought the AI worked for designs as well, just like https:sleek.design, but unfortunately for me, what is made, can’t be edited on Figma Design. How do I cancel this subscribtion. It’s been taking almost £22 from my account monthly - no matter what I do.Many thanks.Abe

When iterating with UI changes with Figma Make, I have to constantly copy either the zip file over to my IDE or manually copy the code changes.Is there anyway I can have my account connected on Cursor and prompt Figma via Cursor chat so it can directly make changes to my codebase.Thanks!

Hi all (and hopefully someone from the Figma team),I’m writing this post after spending days trying to figure out whether it is currently possible to sell a Figma plugin, and I’m honestly shocked at how contradictory, confusing, and out-of-date the information is across the official documentation and forum posts—even posts by Figma staff. I’m not alone in this confusion. Let me lay out what I’ve found and where the contradictions lie. 🔒 1. Official documentation (as of now) says the Community Seller program is closedFrom the official documentation on selling Community resources:“Note: We are not approving new creators to sell paid files on Community at this time.”This implies that unless you were alread

I submitted a public OAuth app for review over two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back yet. Just to clarify, this is not a plugin, it's a standalone app using Figma OAuth with the REST API.The wait is starting to affect our deployment timeline. The submission page mentions 5-10 business days, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something on my end or if wait times are just longer than usual right now.Thanks!

Hi all,I’m running into an issue with Smart Animate that seems to be a recent regression. I’ve used Smart Animate successfully across multiple components in my file, and everything was working fine in Present mode until this past week.Now, some animations that used to work perfectly are either:• Not playing at all, or• Playing incorrectly (e.g. jumpy, incomplete, or skipping interpolation)Here’s what I’ve found through troubleshooting:• The animations still work when I isolate the animated component and test it on its own.• They break only when nested inside more complex parent components (which contain other nested instances).• Detaching the parent instance or simplifying the nesting restores the expected animation behaviour.• Clearing Figma’s cache and restarting the app had no effect.• I haven’t changed anything in the component structure that would explain this — it genuinely seems to have br

Hello Brains Trust, I am stuck.I am trying to get a navigation bar's scroll position to stay at the top of a frame (a prototype website) as one scrolls down. I want the nav bar to be visible at all times, even when scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page - but it just won't. I have done every step recommended:Select the navigation bar instance in the Home frame. In the Prototype tab, select Sticky from the Position menu. Open the Auto layout settings, and make sure Canvas stacking is set to First on top. It is at the highest layer order within the frame It is fully inside the frame, with all appropriate properties enabled I have tried every configuration of ‘Overflow Behaviour’ and nothing works (none, horizontal, vertical, b

I’m having an issue with slots and the way it doesn’t seem to inherit changes through variants. I have created it like this where there are 5 breakpoint layouts using the a single component throughout. Breakpoints: sm, md, lg, xl, xxl.  The way i’ve structured it is by having a slot space (called “Slot list”) and inside of it i’ve added another slot called “Slot row” and inside there’s 4 individual components. The idea is to be able to add a list that can include one or several rows inside of it and also have different amount of columns in each row (eg. showing 2, 3 or 4 components). Now if i create an instance of this block i can easily like always change breakpoint in the properties panel and it works fine. However if i make any change in any of the components and try switching breakpoint it breaks down. It won’t change to the correct breakpoint layout and only change the width/other aspects. So if it is breakpoint

Hi, I can’t find how to add variables for those two fields. Is it possible?

Figma.com internals are hacking my site because "it's Too Good" and "I live in Thailand" lol could you guys help me? I’m trying to make all of you invincible through my site.. figure this out for me perfectly please. 

Hello! I have submitted Figma plugin for the review, but I did not get any confirmation email or any communication it went through. I saw in the docs it says 5-10 days, but I am not sure if it got received correctly?Also, another question, I just found out there is another plugin that is called Framify (which was published a month ago), would that be a good reason to deny my plugin, because it’s also called same name? I wonder if I would have to redo everything, or how would people be able to differentiate? Any recommendations, suggestions?  Here are the screens for my plugin. 

I am being invited to view a file, but when I click accept, it says it is restricted. This has happened with three different files for one of my co-workers. An outside organization is sending us access to view, but when we click accept in our email, it still says restricted. I have clicked " ask to be added,” and I have asked the other organization, but they are not getting emails that I am doing this. My email is correct, and I have cleared my cache. I have double checked that they have sent view access and they have done all the same steps for my manager and he has no issuing accessing the files. But me and my co-worker do, we have done everything on our part but there is clearly a Figma issue. This has been going on for 2 weeks.

Hi everyone,I submitted my first Figma plugin for review on March 6th, and its status is still showing as "Under Review." I know Figma generally suggests a 5–10 business day window, but I wanted to check with the developer community here to see if anyone else is experiencing longer-than-usual wait times recently?A few details about the submission: Submission Date: March 6, 2026 Plugin Link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1611736909703003655/magic-cards I’ve double-checked my email and spam folder to ensure I haven’t missed any clarification requests from the review team, but I haven't received anything yet.Does the review team usually reach out if there’s a delay, or

Figma said i had to have a business account to add more credits, so i added my business account but i can't access the project now even though I have crdits on my business account and Figma... what a mess.

[image redacted by moderator to remove personal information]Hello everyone!I filled out the educational subscription form on the Figma website incorrectly and can't resubmit it.I can't upgrade my plan in Figma—they're asking me to sign up for a professional subscription. I'm a student taking courses at an IT school. Perhaps you were in a hurry and didn't fill out the form carefully. If you've encountered this issue, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Hi Figma Support Team,I'm reaching out to request a refund for an accidental renewal of my personal Figma Make (monthly) plan.My team has recently migrated to an organization account, so I no longer use the plan tied to my personal account. The renewal was unintentional, and I'd appreciate it if you could process a refund at your earliest convenience.Please let me know if you need any additional information to move forward.Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi all,I’m currently updating and simplifying my button library. At the moment, the leading and trailing icons are set up as separate variants of the button, which means I have to manage them across all states (default, hover, active, disabled).To improve this, I’m trying to use the new slots update so I can combine everything into a single component - using one slot that includes two icons and a text element - rather than relying on multiple icon variants.However, I’m running into an issue:When I edit the button layout (for example, moving or removing an icon) and then switch the button to a different state, the colours of the icons and text don’t update - they stay the same.I’ve set up variables to handle global colour changes across the buttons, but these don’t seem to apply correctly to elements inside the slots when switching between states (default, hover, active, disabled).Does anyone know how I can ensure the colours of element

My bottom navbar disappears in prototype view mode whenever I set it to “Fixed(Stay in place)”. I want the navbar visible during scrolling.

Hi everyone.I’m new to Figma and UI/UX design. I’m trying to make a feature table for a product. I made the table which consists of 2 columns and 8 rows and it’s an Autolayout. When I set the width of the cells to “fixed”, the table is responsive to resizing but when adding text to the cell, parts of the text appear out of the frame. Setting the width to “hug content” fixes this issue but this pushes the cells out of the frame and also the table is no longer responsive to resize. Please help :’) 

I have been using Figma make for a project and its actually been great, but for the last week (started Monday, currently Friday) I have been getting the same error message! I have plenty of credits.  I have installed the app, restarted my router, called my internet people, logged a help desk reqeust and still no luck. I see a few other people have had the same problem, but there was no solution posted, it just started magically ‘working again’… so I’m hoping this post is the bit of magic I need to get cracking on with my project. 👯
