Hello - the higher education institution that I teach for (OpenClassrooms) is on the list of approved schools, but I don’t have an email address associated with the school (none of the educators do). I filled out the form to verify and selected the appropriate options but ran into an error.Screenshot: https://shottr.cc/s/FDcX/SCR-20251001-h57p.pngReached out to figma support and they rejected my request since I am on a starter account (I was on an education account). Thanks!Niki Brown 

I do not know how, but in Figma, I got this point using which I was able to set the center of rotation. Last time, I saw this in Sketch, but this popped up today. I was surprised. But then, the moment I duplicated the ear vector, this was gone. I do not know how I triggered it. Tried lots of things and searched all around. Couldn’t find a shortcut or a trigger using which I could enable this.

Hello Figma Support Team,The core feature for measuring distances between objects by holding the Alt  key has suddenly stopped working for me.This happened unexpectedly in the middle of my work. The measurement guides (redlines) no longer appear when I select an object, hold Alt, and hover over another element.I have already performed the following troubleshooting steps without success: Restarted my computer. Reinstalled the Figma desktop app. Tested this in both existing and brand new files (the issue occurs everywhere). Tested in the browser version of Figma, and the issue persists there as well. None of these steps have resolved the problem. Could you please look into this?Thank you.

Hello Figma Support Team,I am a student currently trying to sign up for the Figma Education Plan using my NYU email account personal information redacted. However, the verification has not been successful.I have already reached out to SheerID regarding this issue, but I haven’t received any response from them so far. Since I urgently need access to the Education Plan for my coursework, I wanted to ask if there is any way Figma could directly help me resolve this issue.Could you please look into my case and let me know if there are additional steps I should take, or if you can assist me in verifying my eligibility?This account is absolutely essential for my classwork, so I kindly ask for your urgent assistance in activating my Education Plan as soon as possible.Thank you very much for your help and support.

Hello everybody, Issue description:I have problem with Figma which is stopping be from using Figma as I experience crashes almost every time I try to scale or move any frame. It does not seem to be related to complexity of the design file as it happens on both projects which contain 3 frames and 2 components and projects which are much more complex (tens or hundreds of layers). This occurs regardless whether I use browser app or desktop app.The error messages I get are mostly ‘Something went wrong, reason: crashed’ or something what seems like ID of the object I was manipulating (even when it is just one blank frame).Around one year ago, I have never had a Figma crash, but since around last 6 months it happens all the time.My specs are:Geforce RTX 4080 Intel I-9 -14900HX 32 GB RamWhat I tried:Two days ago I even reinstalled my operating system (Windows 11) but crashes keep happening even more often I would say. It is not clear to my why I am able to use Figma for 15 minutes and experie

I created a color system using variables, then published the file and applied it to another file.The connection works fine, but when I click on variables it shows up empty.Is going back to the original file the only way to view the connected variables or styles? (Would like to see the organized variables at once in the connected file as well.)

Hi everyone,I’m trying to activate my Figma Education account, but whenever I attempt, I receive this error:"Looks like you've already been approved for this offer."I’ve followed all the steps multiple times and even tried with different files, but the issue still persists. It seems like my account is stuck in this state, and I can’t actually access the Education benefits.Has anyone faced this before, and could the Figma team help me resolve it?Thanks in advance!

When I select 10 objects and I align them, BEFORE the update, I see the distance between them and set it accordingly on right upper corner.Now after the UPDATE its GONE. Cant do anything. 2000hrs in to Figma and I lost my basics. WHY would you ever do something like this? 

I created this error message field, realized later there was a better way to set it up so changed the layout to this: I have some modals with form fields in them. There was a button to update the form fields within the modal, so I clicked it. However, the modals are still showing the old layout:  I don’t want to go through and manually update every single form field. How can I get all of them updated at once?

Items keep moving outside the parent frame when dragging them, copying and pasting them, or using alt+click to duplicate and drag. My coworkers are all experiencing the same thing and I’ve seen other posts on here but you close them after 3 days and don’t let anyone comment on them. Can you please fix this?  Thanks

Hi Figma Community,I attempted to re-verify my Figma student account, but the system is now showing “Verification limit exceeded.”I reached out to SheerID via email, but their response was:“We were unable to process your verification request. Your ticket has now been permanently closed.”Could you please suggest a solution for this issue? I won’t be able to re-verify my student plan otherwise, and this needs to be resolved before 29 September. Since SheerID has not provided any assistance, I would greatly appreciate your urgent support in resolving this matter. Thanks!

We had our DSM broken into two parts, one for colors and the other for everything else. Not sure why, just how it’s always been. I’ve spent the entire day trying to disconnect the colors one and consolidate them. The color variables are now in the right place, I can see it myself. But it won’t let me publish them. It will publish changes to the variables list, such as a new collection or a renaming, but the colors don’t show up for us anywhere in any other files. I’m completely lost.

I use COPY on one element, but as soon as I click on another, it copies the new element I clicked, losing the old one that was COPYed. This bug is driving me crazy, please help.

I’m trying to verify my student account via my ID. But it always says verification failed. And the reason they provide is it couldn’t find my last name in my ID card. Now let me clarify. My full name is “Sifatullah”. that’s it. Nothing before and after. And my ID says the name: “[redacted by moderator to remove personal information]”. Now, I tried the following combinations while filling up the Education verification form of Figma:[redacted by moderator to remove personal information]And both of these fail! So what else do I do? And now it even shows “Verification limit exceeded”. Please help. I need it for my upcoming project show.

These arrows used to be pointing at the logical direction, now the direction is switched up.

Hi, after I had been struggle to verify my academic status, contacted SheerID and waiting for response, I was noticed by my university to change my account Email address to my school gmail account. The problem is that since I had already processed my procedure to reverify my status by Sheer ID, I was blocked by Figma system. Considering the fact that now I have my account set with my School Email, I ask you to reset my verification record so that I can start the procedure again. Please don’t tell me to contact Sheer ID again because I already have. 

Hello Figma Support Team,I’ve built and published my site via Figma Sites under the custom domain: www.cozumyapitr.comHowever, when I try to submit the site to Google Search Console, I get the following error:❌ “URL cannot be indexed. robots.txt could not be fetched.”I’ve checked manually and indeed the robots.txt file returns 404 Not Found.Can you please assist me with enabling the robots.txt file or resolving this issue so that my site can be indexed by Google?Thank you very much.

I have created files sitemap.xml (13 links) and robot.txt in public. But when checking robot.txt I am redirected to the main page, and sitemap contains only one link to the main page. Google Search Console also sees only 1 link in sitemap. Requested help from the support but still no answer. 

I can export my file to PDF and then convert to MS Word, but the file doesn’t convert cleanly. The resulting MS Word file requires cleaning every page; every text box has a duplicate and there are stray page numbers.   I’m looking for a faster solution to cleanly convert the file for a partner organization. Any suggestions? 

Hey all! If possible, how does one manage the state of a button based on the value of a boolean changed by another component?Thanks!Mark

What’s going on with Figma? I’m trying to upgrade from the free plan to the Professional plan, but the process gets stuck on the “Choose Seat Types” step. As soon as I click “Next: Payment Information,” the button gets disabled and nothing happens. How is this even acceptable functionality?

Our team is noticing that our main design system library is having hundreds of changes flagged in the publishing panel, even after a weekend of not working on the library. The panel shows what’s modified, removed, or added, but isn’t clear what the changes are or what caused them. It’s scary publishing these types of updates because they aren’t coming from our team. Is this something being caused by Figma? How can we feel comfortable publishing so many changes when we weren’t even the ones making them? 

This is probably quite specific, but I am creating a drag and drop system where what is NOT dragged needs to be reactive to where the dragged object is. I can’t show you my real wireframes but here’s a representation that hopefully is clear enough: What I am “doing” is dragging the purple circle. I need to get it over to the first place (where the red circle is). When dragging, once the purple circle is dragged near the second position but NOT dropped, the yellow circle should react and move to the third position.Then I want to continue dragging to the first. Ideally this is of course one smooth motion.Currently though if I have the second frame and third, I have the interaction on the purple circle from the first to second on “On Drag”. But if I do the same for frame 2 to 3, I need to reclick the purple circle to start dragging again.Does anyone know a workaround for this?

Hi everyone,I’m exploring how to design high-converting landing pages in Figma for a project linked to digital marketing in Jalandhar. My primary focus is on creating layouts that drive engagement while maintaining a clean and user-friendly design. I’d love to get advice on:Best practices for structuring sections like hero banners, CTAs, and testimonials Choosing typography and color schemes that boost conversions Any Figma plugins or shortcuts you rely on for faster landing page designIf anyone has worked on landing pages for marketing campaigns, your insights and examples would be really valuable!
