In https://www.figma.com/code-connect-docs/ci-cd/ it specifies that you can use Github Action to automatically publish changes with Code Connect. Is there more information on how to specify tokens? Is there a specific token for CI or should we use personal token for this case?

When using the comment feature in Figma for Japanese input, the cursor occasionally moves to the very end of the comment upon confirming the conversion. As demonstrated in the attached capture, this behavior does not always occur with the same keyboard operations. I am quite troubled by this and would like to see it improved. For this demonstration, ‘Google Japanese Input’ is being used for Japanese input. However, the same behavior occurs with the Japanese input system that comes with MacOS.

Hi guys, I’m working on a text field as par of my Figma training, and when i add auto-layout to the text “Label” and the line next to it, the line moves and disaligns with the rest of the frame. Can I make those 2 lines align again? I’ve tried the following: 1 adding an arrow at the end of the line to see if the line itself would budge, 2 moving the auto-layout to aign again, 3 mind power. I’m a beginner so i’m sure there’s a solution and i’ve simply not found it.Any advice is welcome.Many Thanks! Alison

Hi,Our team has been creating multiple pages using Figma Make. However, we realized that all the pages are in separate files, and we can’t figure out how to connect them with Prototype mode. We want to: Combine several Make pages (Landing, Dashboard, Courses, etc.) into one Design file. Add Prototype links between the frames (e.g., from the Landing page to the Dashboard). Is there a way to convert or duplicate Make files into regular Figma Design files so that we can use the Prototype feature?

Since Figma Make became publicly available, I’ve noticed a significant drop in performance and overall intelligence. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I no longer see the “Claude Sonnet 4” label next to the prompt area. Everything I try now leads to poor results. Just yesterday, during the beta phase, the AI was much more capable and consistently delivered great outcomes. Today, I’m stuck for hours on simple tasks that were handled effortlessly before. Anyone noticing the same?

Hi all, I have a quite serious topic. In my designs somebody changed an email address to a different one, but it was not my team or somebody who has write access to it, our it was not intentionally, or forgot about it. The problem is that we were not able to detect from the history who did it, this change is displayed every version from the history, but it cannot be true, because we checked maximum circa a one and a half week ago, and then the email address was the original one. and now its changed in every version. What can be the problem? Thanks!

I got the ai in Figma to help me create a document and it’s 11 pages long. It’s got great artwork, design and of course my verbiage. I have no idea how to export this to PDF as a fully illustrated document and it’s driving me crazy. I tried to contact Figma but they told me to come here. Can anyone help if I share the link?

Hello everyone, I've set the variable Modes for the typography font size in my Figma file. This allows me to set whether the font should be used for Desktop Mode or Mobile Mode under Appearance. Like here https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/15343816063383-Modes-for-variables This works very well if, for example, I copy a screen for Desktop and change it to Mobile. Now, my problem: When I copy a group or frame from Desktop and then paste it into the Mobile screen, the font size doesn't change, even though the Appearance is set. CMD+Shift+V doesn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas? I can reset the mode, but that can't be the solution.

Bonjour, J’ai besoin de vos lumières concernant les licences Figma. J’ai actuellement une licence éducation qui va prendre fin bientôt. Malheureusement, à la fin de celle-ci, je ne pourrais pas investir dans une licence payante, car je serais sans emploi… Il m’est essentiel de garder accès au mode éditeur de tous les fichiers se trouvant dans mes Drafts. Pouvez-vous me confirmer, que si je garde la licence “gratuite” de Figma, je garderais un accès à mes fichiers présents dans le Drafts et que je pourrais toujours les éditer ? Par avance merci pour votre aide. Chloé

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.

Does anyone have a good CSS export pipeline for text styles (i.e. plugins, Figma document setup, custom code/scripts)? I’d like to use Figma to export some particular CSS for our web projects, but our designers have tried a number of plugins and the export always seems to leave something to be desired. The two things we’d like to be able to export - before anything else - is variables and text styles. Our variable export pipeline is now usable: we post-process Figma’s output to combine files from the format ‘Variables > Mode > Category.css’ into a single root CSS with a fair number of vars for colours, spacers, and a few other things. But when it comes to Text Styles: the color isn’t output the font weight is outright wrong (always weight 400, when the text style pane has a different weight defined in the ‘Variable’ subpane) uppercase/all-caps isn’t honoured (i.e. text-transform uppercase is not present in the export CSS) We have a setup where we export a number of text styles that bec

I created this modal component that adjusts its height accordingly when an error message appears below a form field. The instance of it, however, doesn’t do that. I’m confused about this behavior. The main component is set to “hug” for height, so I don’t understand why the instance is treating it like its fixed.

I'm unable to publish my plugin due to the following error message: "We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin." Could you please help me resolve this issue and enable publishing for my plugin? my ticket #1449251。 This is my support ticket ID：#1449251, but I’m currently receiving only automated replies. Could you please transfer this issue to a human support agent for further assistance? Thank you!

Hi! I am looking to verify what file(s) the MCP has access to (i.e. can it see a list of all files on my account / in my org, or can it only access the file that is currently open in Figma Desktop?), and whether the MCP can ever make changes to said files, or does it have read-only access? Thanks!

The website always works within Figma Make. It’s sleek, modern.. everything I want. BUT, AI cannot get the site to render online - been at this for hours. Offline because I pointed my domain to this new site. Anyone experienced that can offer guidance to a tech savvy non coder?

Hey! How can I transfer the AI generated Prototype in Figma Make to Figma Design and continue editing it manually there?

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!

I am trying to do what seems like a pretty easy task: merging changes in a branch into the main file. Here are my steps: From the branch, I click the dropdown arrow next to the branch name. Select the option to merge I resolve all conflicts Complete the merge. Expected result: The changes from the branch should appear in the main file. Actual result: They don’t. Nothing happens. Main stays the same, branch stays the same. On top of that, the Figma labeling is confusing. It’s either incorrect/copy errors that are confusing, or I am legitimately not doing this correctly. For example, then the merge modal is up, the title of the modal reads “update from main file.” But that’s not what I’m doing, I selected to do the opposite AND the UI reflects I am doing the opposite: I am “merging branch” not “updating from the main file.” This whole feature feels half baked, and in the meantime, I’m going to abandon it by simple copying all my changes from the branch into the main file, then archive th

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 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)

Hello community, I am looking for any information on how working with branches and merging branches has been for you guys. I am currently working with a file that should serve as a single source of truth for other files. It is a design system file with variables and a hierarchy of namings for the variables. We are considering restructuring some of the variable groups and how the group namings are set up. We might group variables into a functionality structure where components that are usually used for input & controls are grouped together, then components that are for content & display are in another group, then components that are usually for navigation are in another group, feedback & status group, layout & structure group, and then maybe an overlays group. We might also regroup typography variables like fontsize, weight, and family into a nested group structure. Some of our variables have generic semantic names and then some have a more specific component level name. We have set up

Some time before in Figma when I did a query on an endpoint: GET curl -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: {token}' 'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/{file_key}' With many others fields the collaborators field was returned in the response where I could get information about the person's email, role and IDBut now I don't see such a field in the responseHas the response body changed over time?And is there an alternative that could be used to get collaborators?

Is it possible to have a free Figma Design Seat account to edit projects for how many days? As a company, we have several Figma licenses, but we need to share projects with external parties who need to edit these projects. Is it possible for them to edit for free for a few days, or will we have to assign them a Full Seat license? Thanks

This what I keep getting after Iteration 273. I literally cannot do any other prompts!
