After the new update I am unable to copy the gradient. Before I had to just select the shape/element which had the gradient I wanted, I would press ctrl+c and the gradient properties were copied and then I had to just paste it into the desired shape bt ctrl+vBut I am unable to do this now, is there a new way of doing this or Figma has gotten rid of this property?

 In Light mode I can easily see which component is selected. But on dark mode it is a bit harder.

I am able to access my Library variables when editing object details: But when I try to use the Set Variable function in an interaction, I can only choose local variables: This problem seems to be limited to the Set Variable function; when I am creating conditionals I can access Library variables just fine:  

Hey y'all, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I just added a user to my team account, when I meant to swap their seat with another user who was no longer using it. So now I have this unused seat I'm going to be billed for - and I can't find any way to remove it. I've googled and chatted with their AI bot. Can anyone point me to where I can remove an unused seat so I'm not billed for it?Can someone from figma also please explain the decision to hide this UX and make it so unclear?

Hey there, I’m running into library publishing failure and am hoping someone can offer a solution.  Context:The library is a design system file that has successfully published as recently as the afternoon fri, 2/28 (today is tue, 3/4) The file memory usage is only 7%, and laptop has 50% available memory The system contains atomic and simple molecular components with variant properties, and local variables for text and color I have triple checked the entire file for conflicting component properties and/or nested instances that might cause loops – it’s possible I missed something, but the library was publishing until a few days ago The last changes I made before publishing began to fail was to apply semantic color variables to icons however, I had successfully published updates with those variables to other components previously, so can’t imagine this is the culprit The file has 87 changes to publish, with 0 conflicting instances. Changes include modified, added, and removed components/

Hi! I was able to publish my library without any issues this morning, but now I'm getting the error message: "Publishing failed: Please reload the page to publish."I've tried reloading the page, quitting Figma, restarting my laptop, and confirming my network connection, but nothing seems to work. I've been using this file for over a year and have never encountered this issue before.  

I've been meaning to share this for a while now, especially with anyone who has been contemplating about having bespoke Vida Veneers Custom-Made but doesn't know where to start. A few months ago, I was in the same boat, going through reviews, looking at before-and-after photographs, and second-guessing every selection. But I'm really glad I eventually did it.

Most of the time, I use the auto layout with first on top because I have to put dropdowns on my input fields. I have to keep changing it to first on top, because you guys made it automatically last on top for the first time setting auto layout. Can you tell me why? Or if you may, can you guys change it to first on top. That would be nice. Thanks,Rashad

tab “Resizing”Hi everyone, I need help finding the “Resizing” tab in Figma. I’m attaching a screenshot from a 2022 video where this tab was present in the interface, and my current interface where it’s missing.Thanks for your reply if you’ve written one! :) 

SituationI’m using a component with 3 variants (default, hover, filled) as an interactive checkbox, designed in a design system file. There are no interactions in the MPC component in the design system file, only in the prototype file. This component is used on multiple screens in a prototype (a question flow with selectable answers). ProblemWhen I click an answer (switching the component to the “filled” variant), that state carries over to the same component instance on the next screen — even though I haven’t interacted with it there. So it should be in default state. Figma appears to remember the variant state globally, not per screen, which breaks the logic of my prototype. This becomes a serious problem when only one answer should be selected: if all options appear as “selected” due to previous interactions, the user can’t proceed in the flow anymore. This prototype is being tested on a fairly large scale, so we need reliable behavior. These unintended state carryovers lead to conf

With the recent Figma config and features it introduced, I feel figma isnt really interested in introducing newer features for UX Designers. I have this opinion based on Figma introduced Figma Make, where it can build and iterate websites based on a prompt (Feature targeted towards a general public rather than a UX Designer) Breakpoints in Figma Sites and not in Figma File (Figma introduced breakpoints for Figma Sites where we can design and publish in actual websites) but did not introduce the feature in actual Figma files which many have asked for. (As if Figma is trying to tease, we can do it, but we won't as we don't think UI design is persist for long) First Draft (First draft is where it would have been helpful if instead of a default library, they could have added a feature where we could add our own library) Again here they did not improve upon it, rather made huge advancements in Figma Make, which is targeted toward a general audience. What do you guys think, am I right?

Hi figpals,I'm creating an icon, and this issue has been bothering me lately. Right now, the only way to solve it is with a hack. I know there are ways to fix it, but I really need to avoid repeating this workaround in a loop. If there's a way to prevent me from having to do this hack over and over again, it would be a huge help.So here's the case:First, i create an icon (absolutely) like below:What I want to ask is about focusing on a selected object. I’m using an inside stroke for icon weight, which makes it easier to control the size measurements and set the radius for each corner.Then, to finalize, I need to vectorize the stroke using the “Outline Stroke” feature. And here’s what happens:A line appeared at the bottom, and what’s even stranger is that it only shows there. But when I enter edit mode, it looks like this:There is a visible line right there, so I tried to remove it as shown below:But this is what I ended up with: It removes the area right next to it, which keeps frustra

This is super scummy. Does anybody know where we can complain in the Eu about it? Maybe people would like to jump on a groups case against Figma. This is so low. I’ve been buying my motnhly single user subscription (18e), this month they charged me for 8 people + 5 FigJam seats. Lol, nobody asked for this, they did this on their own. This is mega unprofessional and scammy.

Hello Figma Community, I was really happy to learn that figma enables with the new update to write on a vector path.However, it is quite annoying, that it is not easily possible to edit the path after I put the text on it. If I double click, I just can edit the text. Sometimes I manage to edit the path, but I don’t know how to get there. I am thankful for your help.

Hi! Industrial Designer turned UX Designer now.Is there a way to make a circular/ring slider in Figma? I see many tutorials for automatic/animated progress rings but I can’t seem to find how to make an actual user-controlled ring slider. I am also not referring to a linear/bar slider - however, this circle slider would interact just like a bar slider but move in a circle.Attached here, you’ll see what I’m referring to. For instance, you see these slider rings in various apps where you can set the time, temperature or some other kind of parameter with your finger by dragging the length of the highlighted circle/ring. Any help or direction to a tutorial showing this is much appreciated!!

There have been many times when I hide an icon from the right or left of a button, it has a purple box around it. Please check this.

Hi, I can’t remove the template from the list in the Template and tools. It also appears in the dialogue window when creating new figma slides presentation. The template was unpublished by droping to the drafts folder *unpublish confirmed”. Any ideas how to make the template disappear from the lists?

I am not able to open a few of my Figma files. The files are around 8-10 mb. IT just keep trying to import but never loads. Is there any alternate way to open/import my fig files? This is a blocker. I need to think twice now before using Figma in future.Any help will be greatly appreciated. ThanksKed

I have created a design system for a mobile app in a Figma file (lets call it A). Also, my project files are also in the same Figma files but in different pages.. Now the problem is, my Figma file is getting heavier and sometimes, it takes too much time to load. I tried publishing the design system (lets call it B), but every time I call a component, it directs me to the main components in the design system  A. Where am I doing wrong? and what is the solution to publish the design system so that my current components sync with it (B), and not with the A.

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my variable list, particularly as it pertains to a drop-down menu I want to create. Below you can see the screenshot of the list (with the placeholder text “Button”). I’m trying to replace the placeholder text with the String variable I created “Grocery”. I want to replace all the placeholder text as well.Figma isn’t letting me replace the placeholder text with my desired variable. I’m not sure how else I can replace the text because there’s no option to do so manually. Hoping someone can help with regards to this. 

Does Figma Make support the learning of design systems or the implementation of predefined design standards?

I want to create auto layout for multiple selected layers. When I select multiple layers and press Shift + A, it wraps the layers in another frame with auto layout enabled. However, my intention was to apply auto layout for each layer. Is it possible to achieve this? Because I don’t want to click on each layer and press Shift + A. Thanks!

Updated: I saw someone visited my file and it was fixed. Many thanks 😊Hi guys, I have created this conditional prototype for the phone country code. The default country code is Germany. When I click in India the conditional prototype works but when I click back to Germany, it doesn’t change Germany to active. I tried to do other way, set India as a default instead, it works when I click on Germany (change their statue to inactive) but when I click back on India, nothing happens. Please someone help me with this. Thank you 🙏Figma link:  defaultIt works when I click on India, but when I click back on Germany, nothing happens 

Hi, I want a button to turn into a selected state first, then only it navigates to new page / open a new overlay. The only thing I got when I put these two interactions is they showing one. How to make this possible?

I have a component called “Dropdown base” and it has a couple of variants.For some reason I cannot insert a Button component I also have in my design system inside any of the variants.All the other components can be inserted fine: search bar, icons, chips, tags, anythingOnly with the Button component I get the error saying “Components cant contain instances of themselves”Which I dont understand because the Button is not an instance of the Dropdown base…is this a bug?thanks!
