Hi Figma team,I wanted to share a bit of feedback that could improve the experience of working with AI-generated content in Figma. I frequently use AI tools (like ChatGPT) to generate structured content, especially tables formatted in markdown. When I copy these tables into platforms like Google Docs or Microsoft Word, the structure is preserved and rendered as expected.However, when pasting the same content into Figma, the markdown formatting is lost—tables end up appearing as plain chained text, which makes them unreadable and requires manual cleanup or reformatting.Steps to Reproduce: Ask an AI (e.g. ChatGPT) to create a markdown-formatted table. Copy the output and paste it into Figma. Observe that the table structure is not maintained—no columns or row alignment, just plain text. It would be a huge productivity win if Figma could improve its support for markdown-like structures, or at least offer better parsing for common table formats used in pasted text.Thanks for your amazi

hi!I'm using the Variables REST API (POST /v1/files/:file_key/variables) and having an issue with updating a variable's resolvedType.According to the documentation, I understand that VariableChange objects support resolvedType as a parameter for UPDATE actions.However, when I send:"variables": [{"action": "UPDATE","id": "VariableID:30927:47472","resolvedType": "FLOAT"}]｝The API returns 200 success, but the variable's resolvedType remains unchanged (still "STRING").Questions:Is resolvedType actually mutable via UPDATE operations? If yes, what's the correct way to change a variable from STRING to FLOAT type? If no, could the documentation be clarified to indicate resolvedType is CREATE-only?Why I actually need this:I'm trying to convert font weight variables from STRING ("Regular", "Bold") to FLOAT (400, 700) values now that I have implemented a Variable Font on our design system.If I am able to change the resolved type, then I can cascade update the places where this variable is alia

Hello Team,we recently migrated to new domain. so now when i am trying to add mail id with new domain figma is not accepting.Can you please help with this issue.

My projects won't open in Figma Windows because the connection speed is too bad.

This seems like a very basic question, but I wasn’t able to find an answer or a solution: when I’m inserting/adding a component from my assets, what’s the best way to make sure it goes directly in to the correct folder in my layers? Currently an inserted component always goes at the TOP of the layers - and then I need to scroll and drag it to where I want it.Can anyone help? thanks

How do I get the features like remove background inside figmA?I want to remove it without using a plugin

I want to know if, when working in a connected project, it’s possible for me as an external collaborator to create and edit files that are private to me, using the host’s shared library. Specifically: Is every file created in a connected project visible to the host by default? Is it possible for me to use the host’s shared library in my own private space, so I can work privately until my project is ready to be shared in the connected project? My goal is to be able to work on a file that is only accessible to me until I’m ready to present it within the connected project. Thank you for any insights!

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up library thumbnails as components to nest in ‘library preview’ component for documentation so that as I change thumbnail design they sync with the docs.I am having a problem when i change out the thumbnail component it does not insert as expected. You can see from the screenshot the frame scales as expected but the text does not.Is this a thumbnail component setup problem or a libray preview thumbnail setup problem?Thank you,Mark  

For some reason when i align an objet with a rule set to 160px from the border of the frame, when i click ALT it showed that the pixel is 161px off the border.This somtimes happens to the left, and sometimes happen to the right.

Have lost ability to undo, as in command-Z. EDIT: Reloaded tabs and its working again. Please close.

Whenever I search for something in Community, I’m taken to the results page as expected. But if I click into a resource and then hit the back button, I’m returned to the Community landing page instead of my search results. This forces me to search all over again for what I was looking for.

I don’t know what changes, or when its happening, but almost every time i have to reload the prototype play to see the updated design result…. And the reload button is far to reach behind mouse 2 click, no keyboard shortcut!!

Hi there I designed - actually i have slides that i made by using html to design importer. On figmage they are fine but when i download the pptx file - the background colours are all gone.  Kindly assist   Thanks  

Do you know what might be causing this glitch when exporting to PNG/JPG?It randomly shifts parts of elements in different directions, as shown in the image.All values for position X and Y are whole unites.  

E.g. if everything in my component is centered, imagine a plugin that just left algins all text & autolayouts so i don’t have to spend the time manually going through everything to do it.

Hi there- I went to login to my paid Figma account and couldn’t remember my password since refreshing my cache, so I decided to login with my Gmail to save time. When I did, it briefly flashed me my existing account with my previous work, before then prompting me to create a new account entirely. I now seem to be locked out of my paid account using the same email. It’s like Figma created an entirely new account for me, using the same email, but now it’s the Starter Plan (free) and has none of my previous work. Help!

Hey,  I’m trying to export my frames as individual “pages”, I guess I’ll call them, so I can put them in my portfolio. I’ve made a PDF, but that’s not exactly the solution I’m seeking. LMK what y’all think! 

I have an auto layout frame where I’m trying to get the nav bar to fix position at the top of the frame. There is no option in prototyping like when fixing a nav bar in a normal frame. Is this not do-able or am I missing something? I’d also like to create a back to top button in a frame but that doesn’t seem to be possible either. Thanks!

In the present prototype, "Copy Link" is not creating the right URL. URL should have “prototype” in them but now it has “design” instead. The copied link goes to the front cover of the working Figma file. 

It’s just.. unhelpful. I don’t know what the pinned file is anymore, and it’s worse when I have multiple files pinned because now I have to distinguish between multiple files with the same icon.  

Since yesterday Im unable to remove interactions by simply pressing delete key after focusing on interaction connector line. I can still remove them by clicking minus icon in the sidebar area.The problem occurs only in both web and desktop app. Im using Macbook Pro M1.
