Hi I registered for a Figma zoom meeting but I wasn’t able to make it. Can I still access the zoom meeting somewhere or be sent it through email?

During Figma Schema 2025 they announced upcoming support for extended variable collections and native variable export/import conforming with the DTCG token specification.It was announced during this session: Here is a screenshot of what they were proposing:An update to the app dropped a few days ago with extended collections but I cannot find how to export variables to JSON (without using a plugin).I don’t have the “Export modes” option in my dropdown menu, even with our Enterprise account.Has anyone got that feature and how do you do it?

The instructions page for saving a local copy does not mention this anywhere. But I’m wondering what “save partial file” actually does. I had always assumed that it would at least save the variables, but not any image assets. But I would like confirmation on this. Sometimes I clone a file just for the variables (dont need all the other stuff in it) and I use “save partial file” to do this quickly. Is this a safe assumption or??

HI everyone. I’m trying to play with new extended collection. Suggested workflow mentions to EXPORT current modes, delete them and then re-import them into Extended collection.  The issue is that I do see Extended collections, so the feature has been propagated to my account, but I dont see Import / Export mode functionality in the contextual menuAny Idea?

When I move a design from Figma Design into Figma Make using an attached library and then bring the design back to Figma Design, all the components and tokens I previously used return as raw values, not as system tokens or components. Is there any way for Figma Make to preserve the library tokens and components? Otherwise, when importing the design back into Figma Design, I need to reassign all the components and tokens manually.

Hi Figma team I’m a paying user on a Full-seat account, and I’ve installed the correct Figma Desktop App (version 125.10.8). Still, I do not see any AI / Make / MCP options in my sidebar or menus. I’ve confirmed that I’m not on an Education plan and that my seat type qualifies.Could you please check whether my account or workspace has been enabled for Figma AI / MCP features? I’d really appreciate activation so I can start using AI-powered design and the MCP server for integration with external tools (like Cursor).Thanks!Eleanor Broderick(redacted by the moderator due to PII)

I have a task that I’m looking to simplify as much as possible yet I'm struggling to find a solution. We are creating designs of static digital display banners, in lots of different sizes. I then have to present these in a Figma slide deck so that stakeholders can review. We create display banners in several different languages once that master deck has been approved.As the banner designs often require changes, I’d like to link them from a separate design file, so that when we make any changes, we can auto update them in the master deck. I know we can just make them into components and publish as a library etc. However, once we get one deck approved, I then have to do a new version for all the display banners to be done in a different language. So a new design file (for a different language) and a new deck, and I cannot see a way of doing this without basically starting the deck from scratch each time? I should point out that due to the shee

Hey everyone,Hope you're all having a productive week. I've run into a bit of a strange issue while working on a new project, and I'm hoping someone in the community might have some insight.https://sites.google.com/view/fry99com-fullvideo-modhello/homeProject OverviewI'm currently mocking up a UI for a gaming community platform called fry999 com.[1] It's a pretty exciting project with a lot of complex elements, including player profiles, tournament brackets, and

Hey everyone!Our team has built a multi-brand design system that supports three different brand themes, each with both light and dark modes.All our icons are created as unions. This helps preserve the color override when an icon is swapped inside a component. For example: all icons use the “icon” color variable by default, but within a success inline message component, the icon is overridden with the “icon-success” color variable (green), as the icon should always be green in that context. Swapping, say, a checkmark icon with “icon-success” applied for a shield icon retains the correct “icon-success” variable. So far, so good.However, when we re-theme the inline message component from Brand 1 to Brand 2, the icon switches to a different brand-specific variant from the icon component set. Here’s where things break: in component instances, the color override (“icon-success”) is lost during this brand switch, and the icon falls back to the default “icon” c

I am getting a message that says “Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show.” There is also a little icon next to the mode name in all of my files when selecting a palette mode. We use a single design system file that has all of our variables and the other palettes don’t seem to have the same problem. The error message is not very helpful and I have cleaned up all of the files and resolved everything I can find but this message never goes away. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? I have included a couple of images as an example of what I am seeing.

Hello, There is no option appearing under Settings → Accounts to delete the account, the last option appearing is “View history”! I’m using free version.

Hi, I’m trying to import some .fig files and am getting an “Internal error during import” message whenever I try to import them. I tried importing on both the desktop app and the browser version and get the same error each time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was editting a page in Figma make and whej I asked it to “undo” something it undid all the work that I had input and sorted. Please help!   

I’m suddenly unable to edit any text layers in Figma, across all files, pages, and even brand new files—affecting both my main and secondary accounts.This has been posted by someone else previously BUT the fix that worked for them does not work for me.Please help, I have clients waiting for amendments that I cannot do for them 

Now that you know...Does that bother you?

I can open the files on my laptop and tablet but it is not working on my pc.Help Please !! 

Hello community, Currently, when I create strokes icons, I use the tool corner radius to change independently each rounded corner. But if I reduce the size of my icon, the rounded corners remain the same and do not adjust. I would like to convert it into an anchor point with the wrists. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, so I've included an example. At the moment, I use copy as SVG and paste on the right click menu but maybe an other solution more convenient exist. How do you do it ?  

TABLES! FINALLYNow it’s time for shadow/gradient variables!

I wonder if it’s possible to turn a frame into a rectangle ? If it is, which other shapes can a frame be turned into ?When a rectangle is selected and frame selection is used, the rectangle is stored inside a frame. In that case, it’s intuitive to take the rectangle out of the frame. But I can’t figure it out when there’s a frame without any child layer.Appreciate any help.

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?

We currently use Appetize in our organisation as our product to demo our native apps - link. Which is great way for designers to stay up to date with the latest changes in production. However, it doesn’t provide a more holistic way to look at your app, ie more like a flow chart view of all screens across the different navigation tiers. A full IA map or flow chart if you will with all screens mapped out in order to identify any pain points / gaps within user flows or identify opportunities for new features, new components and identify old legacy components, etc etc. Especially to build up a view of where new compoments are being adopted across the app as different development / product teams ship the new components. Especially when it comes to a rebrand, ie to get a view of what percentage of the app has adopted the new brand vs not.

Is the Apple Macbook Air 13 M4 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD slowing down when working with 20 layouts in the Figma compared to the Apple M4 Pro (14C CPU, 20C GPU), 24 GB RAM, 1024 GB SSD?Where is it more comfortable for you to work when comparing Air and Pro?
