as title, I’m trying to use my published library in a Figma Make project, but the export for Figma Make dialog does not pop up. Also when I click Import From Figma in Make, it does nothing. Tried closing the app and reopen but still the same. I’m on a pro education plan. Is this feature available for me? thank you

Are there any resources for accordion menu templates or step-by-step guides for figma sites? I’ve found a few for other figma platforms but for some reason I’m struggling getting them to work well on sites.I’m particularly interested in an expandable menu in which the text can be formatted in columns (or, alternatively, the option to create multiple text boxes with Autolayout within the expandable menu).Thank you! 

Has anyone had issues with a font truncating to an ellipsis with 2 dots vs. 3 dots? is there a way to fix that as it’s really throwing my client off even though we’ve tested the font in a web browser and it displays properly there - just not in Figma prototypes.

Hey everyone,I’m running into an issue with component resizing in Figma. I’ve set constraints on child elements (e.g., left & right for buttons inside a container), but when I resize the main component, the elements don’t behave as expected. Sometimes they overlap, and other times they don’t scale proportionally.I’ve checked: Auto layout settings (both fixed and fill options) Whether the frame is set to "hug contents" or "fixed width" Nested component constraints Has anyone else faced this? Any tips on getting constraints to behave properly when resizing?Thanks in advance!

Hi All!I keep having this issue, where mode palette shows info icon that means that some variable(s) somewhere are causing some issue. The design system I manage has a lot of variables and styles ( tokens ) and tons of component files. I went through all the files already, updating and publishing everything. Still the alert persist. Visually I can’t tell if the issue is causing some components to not update properly, and no errors were detected during the long, manual process of updating and publishing all the components. Is there a way to see where the issue is exactly? Is Figma planning to release some sort of better detection for conflicting variables?   

Why I don't have figma AI tool after one year? how should I get it?

Hi All, I am experiencing a lot of bugs and issues in the Styles panel, to the point that it is impossible to use.   Selecting multiple styles is off. It keeps 2 or 3 selections than if you select more it selects random styles or selects everything in between the ones you originally selected. If you want to move a style at the end of the list to another folder, you can’t scroll up while holding that style, so it is impossible to move. Creating subfolder is a nightmare as it always gets added at the end of the tree, and moving it out does not work ( see point bove ) Duplicating a folder just duplicates the content of that folder inside that folder The experience is overall very glitchy and is basically impossible to use at the momentHavent used styles too much since variables were introduced, so I’m not sure if this is a temporary issue or is a known bug.  

Hi Figma Commmunity,I recently sent a submission to be an FoF User Group Lead in my Community.I sent this submission - for over 2 weeks now - and I haven’t got a response.Can anyone help? How can I reach Figma for a response, or approval?I have sent a follow up email, I have also sent a suppport Ticket, I have sent a DM on X. I have also commented on YouTube videos to get Figma’s attention.Any help guys?Thank you

I'm experiencing a problem with my published design system in Figma. Although the system file containing components and variables has been successfully published and linked to other files, the color variables aren't showing up correctly in the list or grid views. I've already tried re-publishing the file, re-linking the library, checking for naming conflicts, confirming styles are properly defined and published, and clearing the Figma cache. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, which undermines the purpose of a centralized design system. Has anyone encountered this before or found a reliable workaround?Thanks  

I work at NSFW Coders, and currently, I’m developing a Candy AI Clone API that focuses on enhancing image generation features through adaptive AI models. The main objective is to combine conversational understanding with text-to-image generation to create a more natural and personalized experience.During the process, I’ve been experimenting with different diffusion models and prompt optimization techniques to improve image accuracy and reduce response time. We’re also exploring how contextual dialogue history can influence image outputs for more human-like consistency.I’d like to hear from other developers working on similar AI systems — which frameworks or optimization tricks have helped you improve efficiency and realism in image generation?

Hi everyone, I’ve built a design system documentation using Figma Sites. Everything works well except for one issue: when I scroll through the sidebar and click on an item that links to another page, the sidebar resets to the top, since it is in that state in all other pages. Is there any way to preserve the sidebar’s scroll position when navigating between pages? (I came up with a workaround, but it's not ideal: I put all sections into a single page, so clicking an item scrolls to the connected section instead of going to another page. This preserves the sidebar position, but with over 100 sections, the site becomes slow) Would appreciate any solutions.

I’m using an Education plan and the Draw Mode / Design Mode toggle doesn’t appear in any of my design files, even after clearing cache and updating the app. Could you confirm if this feature is rolled out to Education accounts? I couldn't verify it in all the files.  

Hi, I’m having trouble with the dropdown menu overlapping other elements on my page. I looked at another thread that had the same issue and it had something to do with the layering, which doesn’t make sense as the whole frame is on top. And I’m also trying to figure out why every time I press an option, all 3 of my dropdowns go to the selected options as opposed to 3 separate options. I understand that this is a variable problem, but I’m a bit stuck. I have one variable for the state (expanded, default), one for the category (industry, visual type, subject), and I believe I need one more so that each selection stays within its corresponding category after picking an option.  

I have already tried using the chat feature and submitted a ticket a while ago but still haven’t received a reply.So in September I bought a single Collab seat to add mp4 files to my Figma Slides. $5. That was literally the only reason I got it. (When I contacted the Support, they told me it’s possible to only buy a single Collab seat (without purchasing the whole Professional plan) so I did that.) I canceled it before it renewed.I got charged for the Professional Plan ($11.50) and it doesn’t make sense? The only other thing I did was give viewer access (just draft files) to my other personal accounts on Figma (so there are 3 viewer seats). NO edit access. I checked the settings, and it shows I’m on the free plan, and there’s no cancel button. But I got charged for the Professional plan, and I have no idea what’s going on.I have NEVER received an email/notification from Figma that my plan got upgraded to the Professional Plan in October. How do I cancel this? As you can see I can’t eve

I bought the professional plan on the wrong project. How can I change which it to a different one?

Hello,I had set up my file to prevent others from copying, downloading and exporting but now I can't access any of these options  How do I undo it please 

    My specific use case is this: I’m using figma to design yearbook spreads for our school’s yearbook. Instead of manually adding each photo for staff/student photos, I figured there must be a way to automate this.    So I made a component that I could use many times for staff and student pictures, which included text (the name of the person in the photo) and a picture. Instead of going into fill → photo → import from computer, I thought there must be a way to automate it even further. I found a plugin called “google sheets sync” that allows me to read data off of a google sheet and automatically put it in the component instances. I also made a google apps script that reads the folder where the photos are stored in google drive, parses the the file name to find the name of the person in the photo, and creates a link to that photo that can be accessed by anyone/thing. Importing off of this sheet worked great for the text, but the images failed to load. In the documentation for the plug

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

Running Free version in Chrome on Android.I've built an audio recorder but when I run it, it says I need to grant permission for the 'embedded page' to use the microphone. I've set Chrome to 'ask every time' but figma didn't ask, it just tells me to grant permission. How do I grant permission?

Hi, I used to be able to move objects by 10 pixels in any direction while holding the measure to selection button (option or Alt + Shift and move). But now when I do this, the object does not move anymore, but it shows measurements to objects which are further away. Did I activate this by accident? I want to be able to move 10 pixels while measuring.

I have several components that I need to let users freely add their own content to certain sections. Currently, the only way I can find to do this is to create a blank area and have the user place a frame of their own on top, ignoring the parent frame’s auto layout. Instead, I want them to be able to drag their own content into an editable frame within my component so that the component will resize based on their added content.The most commonly recognizable example of this is a modal component. I want to have the same header, footer, and frame on all components but I want to leave a space in the body area for the user to put anything they want. I’ve seen the slot swap idea but that only works if I have a hand full of pre-made configurations. In my modal component, I have no idea what the end user (the designer) might dream up. They might have a form, they might need a paragraph on top or a table or an image or two, etc. I want to let them do that without breaking the component itself. 

I found many topics related to my question, but without answers and closed due to inactivity, so my hopes are really low, but give it a shot anyway. Whenever I create a Layout Grid (columns) it will be visible, and work fine toggling the visibility with L Shift + G. but for some reason, eventually the grids will just not show… the toggle is still happening (the eye icon beside the layout grid toggle open and closed) but the grid is not visible anymore, and the only way to make it work again is to delete the grid, and create the grid again… which is a bit annoying. Has anyone encounter this similar problem and had a solution? is this a bug that is beign addressed? I will appreciate any type of answer, considering that most of the similar topics where closed without a single response. Thank you! 😅
