Hey guys, Is there a way to switch back to the old Figma UI? The new one doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure there are people who like it, but personally, I prefer the previous Figma look and structure. I really dislike the current look and feel of the new UI, not to mention its structture, the previous version was a lot more organized and a lot cleaner and more intuitive. Thanks, Chris

I received this alert for the first time today since working in Slides. It will no longer allow me to publish templates with components included on my slides. See the screenshot of the error. I don’t know if this is a glitch, but yikes! This is not good. Is anyone else having this error?   

Hello everyone , i have problem with my text - when i transfer text it breaks off at the word level , what i should to do ?

This area of the interface is currently registering actions on mouse release, even when the press starts outside and the cursor is only moved into the area before releasing. As someone using a drawing tablet instead of a mouse, I find this quite frustrating, since it's easy to accidentally release the mouse within this area after adjusting the gap on the side.Details:I use a drawing tablet instead of a mouse. When adjusting the Gap (on the right side), I highlight the Gap field with the pen pointer, then quickly move the cursor back into the design area. If I perform the action quickly, the pointer often slides over the alignment adjustment area before being released. That’s how I discovered the issue. 

Now I can’t set a cover. I followed the instructions to move the artboard to the top-left corner, but it doesn’t work. Please bring back the feature to manually set an artboard as a cover — without it, files are no longer visually organized.

I am trying to export an artboard with a video and I don't see the 'Export as Video' option. I have placed a video on the artboard and enabled the 'Playing' setting in the Prototype tab. Could you please advise on how to export this as a video file?

how to check mail id of collaborators on figma in latest 2025 version??

I’m trying to switch my team to using Slides, but when they export the decks to PDF they are reporting huge file sizes (over 10MB) even when setting the quality to “low”. Even with very basic slides, the files are large, how can we get decks below 5MB without having to use a 3rd party compressor? And why are they so massive?

Hello my team is on a professional plan, it is possible to access to the new features releases at Config2025? I’m able to see AI -generate an image and such, Figma Draw, Figma Grid, however I’m not sure how I access Make, Website and Buzz as I understand until those are out of beta they will be available for full seat members, thank you. 

My file was randomly removed from figma. What is gthe best way to locate it and/or restore it into my files? This cost me an my team a decent amount of money and I would have to have lost it forever. PLEASE HELP!

I cant seem to find the option of "variable width strokes" in Figma draw. I created a stroke and went in the vector edit mode, I see all option except the “variable width stroke”. Did anyone else try using this?

Hello,Will Figma Site generated website’s content such as text, navigation, and images be accessible by VoiceOver? or is there a way to do so? I tested publishing a website from a provided template, and it seems to only read the links.Thank you!

为什么我选中了选型尺寸，但是没有在画布上显示呢

I’d really appreciate some help here, can’t get mobile prototyping to work in the way I’d expect. I am prototyping an app with a bottom anchored toolbar. As such, “Fit” type settings are critical to avoid users from missing these buttons. However, any combination of settings I try in prototyping (Fit, fill, presentation, different preset phone frames) do not actually fit my prototype within phones of varying sizes. Here’s an image of what I’d expect would happen. I’d expect a fixed ratio and I’d get black bars on the sides. This is pretty much how desktop prototypes show - they work on any screen size because the frame is fixed and fits to any window size, with black bars added as needed. Any help is really appreciated here. I don’t get how mobile prototypes could not support “Fit” in the way I’m describing, as that’d make testing anything with bottom-anchored toolbars/buttons much more unreliable based on phone size. Thanks for any input!

What’s the way to add an effect (Drop shadow, background blur, etc) on an interaction (While hovering, On Click, etc)?My goal is to reduce the inane amount of variants I have to create to simply to have a hover color or shadow. 😓

I was checking out this site for something unrelated — just doing a quick fesco 2024 bill check — and it got me thinking: why do so many billing history pages feel like spreadsheets from 2004?There’s a ton of opportunity to clean up how historical utility data is displayed. Stuff like monthly charges, payment status, due dates — it’s all super useful, but the design is usually overwhelming or just plain dated.Has anyone here worked on visualizing that kind of timeline-based data? I'd love to see how others are approaching it — especially for mobile, where scrolling endless tables is a nightmare.Appreciate any insights or examples!

I know Slides has been around for about 5 minutes, but I can’t figure this out. Is it possible to add button interactivity to Figma Slides - like having a ‘overview’ slide with links to individual slides later in the presentation? Right now, it seems to only support linear progression. Basically, I’m looking for way to add a “jump to this section” button that skips around the presentation.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a prototype for a mobile video editing tool and trying to simulate real editing flows (trimming, transitions, filters) in Figma. So far, auto-animate and some interactive components are helping, but syncing complex interactions like filter overlays and multi-track timelines is tricky.I’m also referencing tools like the (capcut-style editor from capcapk). I’m curious how others approach designing for mobile video UX in Figma—do you simulate drag handles, timelines, or use external embeds for previews?Would love to see if there are plugins or workflows that help bring these ideas closer to real interaction modeling.

Hi everyone – I’m in a finance-focused role where I spend a lot of time building decks. Like, 90% of my job is making PowerPoint presentations. And honestly… I’m tired. PowerPoint just feels slow and clunky, especially when you’re making small visual adjustments over and over.I’m seriously considering switching to Figma to speed up my workflow and make things more enjoyable. But I’ve hit a few snags that I’m hoping you all can help with: Company Template: We have a corporate PowerPoint template that includes a branded background and logo placement. In PPT, I just start with the template file. How would I recreate that in Figma so that every new slide starts clean with our design? Excel Charts & Graphs: One major thing keeping me in PPT is the ability to copy/paste charts straight from Excel. It keeps all formatting and is easy to update. Has anyone figured out a good workflow for bringing charts into Figma—either as editable visuals or quick screenshots that look good? Tables i

I opened my Figma today and saw the announcements of what launched at Config. However I could not read most of it, as the text was cut off.I use lower resolution (1168x755) to make text bigger on my laptop (MacBook Pro 16”), so I presume this is why the popup content was truncated. I often see this issue on the web in general – a button falls outside the viewable UI, text gets cut off, etc. Usually I need to temporarily zoom out in order to be able to access the button or whatever (although this is not an acceptable solution). In Figma I tried using the usual hotkeys for zoom Cmd +/Cmd -, and nothing happened (I have since discovered it’s called “Interface Scale” and uses different hotkeys). There was also no way to scroll, resize, expand this modal popup. The only solution, I presumed, would have been to change my screen resolution and I am not prepared to do that.There is a reason I have my settings the way they are – because I need them that way.  I should not need to compromise my

I’ve been building out some interactive prototypes in Figma and working with a team that uses a sandboxed environment for launching and testing desktop app behavior. We're trying to ensure that the UI flow feels native even in isolated test environments where system hooks are limited.One tool that's come up in our workflow is the bloxstrap launcher, which helps manage these kinds of setups. While it’s not directly tied to Figma, it’s been helpful for replicating conditions that affect how our app will behave once deployed on Windows machines with tighter controls.Has anyone else used sandbox or custom launchers while testing Figma-to-production workflows? Curious if there’s a more integrated way to bridge Figma with those kinds of environments.Appreciate any insights!

Hi, From the doc, i understood that submitting a paid plugin that makes use of Figma in-house paid system is only available to accepted publisher, and that Figma is currently not accepting any new publisher, is that correct ? so the only way to make a paid plugin would be to do the payment via a 3rd party ? And if so, is it required to provide any specific information during publication, or just submit it under the Community Free Resource License ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Today I noticed that viewers were unable to copy from some files. However, when I toggle the checkbox, Figma doesn’t save the change. After a while, it reverts to untoggled. Some of my files belong to a published library and do not have an owner.
