After the latest update, I think it has become impractical in terms of user experience. The old interface was more user-friendly.

Hey, I am trying to increase / decrease the dimension by using keyboard arrows in windows OS by keeping my cursor next to another object to find the pixel. Increasing/pressing up arrow is working fine, but if i press down arrow to reduce the pixel, i am getting Search along with libraries popup. How can i avoid this use like before.

Hi guys,Sometimes certain constraints get disabled, and I don’t get the reason, it happens when I make that specific element FIXED in the prototype section and I simply cannot select the disabled constrain options, especially LEFT AND RIGHT, that’s what I mostly use. Anyone know what the issue is?Thanks :)  

Necesito renovar mi plan educativo, aún me quedan dos años de carrera para finalizar, pero no puedo actualizar mi estado de estudiante. Me aparece una alerta que todos los proyectos pueden desaparecer. Ayuda!

Hello,I’m having one big problema about autolayout. I want to make a 2-layered scroll menu but the las element I want it to be one layered but the height of the total menu. In this picture you will understand:  As i’m trying to make a horizontal scrolling menu, i have to autolayout it, but it doesn’t keep me this form, it keeps me modulating the elements, and I cannot arrange this. Please I need help to make this menu!

When using find and replace to replace spaces “ “ with underscores “_” each time I ran it, it only replaced the FIRST space in the layer name and not ALL as expected. So to replace the spaces in a name like “this is an example name” I would need to run find/replace four times, like so:this_is an example name this_is_an example name this_is_an_example name this_is_an_example_nameFigma desktop app 125.2.3 on MacOS Sequoia 15.4

Hi everyone!I have just started out to learn FIGMA, with a focus on learning UI and UX. I’m just lost in a sea of information and resources on Youtube and other platforms. Can you please help me with some straightforward channels and other resources that I could learn from without spiralling out and get lost. A consistent problem I have faced till now is that the tutorials seem outdated as in the creator/instructor teaching FIGMA is using a different version and as I follow along the buttons, menu and other layouts placed are different than my current versions and I end up spending more time on google for searching where this button is currently located in my version or so. Can you all help me with this with some good resources, I do  not want to learn from a bootcamp style courses, unless it has some really good social proof or review or you have personally went through the bootcamp and have benefitted from it.

I have a file with a single component. Every instance can be followed to the main component in the documentation present in same file. I want to publish the file library so later I can Cut+paste it into another component library.On the last step before publishing I have “Added (?)” message next to a few components (that work before publishing) saying:“This component was moved to another file. Publishing this new copy won’t update instances in other files.”The component wasn’t moved to another file. After publishing the library despite this message all local instances are detached and my only option to follow back to a component is to “Restore main component” - but the component was there anyways. When I click on “Restore main component” it places the same component on top of main component that was previously present.When I delete the one that doesn’t work and publish the library again, same thing happens. I’ve added 20 components like this but did not face this problem. Faced this pro

 Please, I’m finding it difficult to make the “Login” text to sit on the yellow shape. Is not responsive like the others.

Hey guys, hope you're doing well.I am struggling to understand how this part of Figma works a bit so let me ask you a question.I hope I can explain it well:So basically you see the bottom element is icon and text. I want to be able to toggle between the different sizes I want to be able to toggle the icon next to the text to be big, middle or small as on the second row. I want with every size to be able to choose different color, for example I choose the small circle with the text I wanna see how it looks like with red, after with green and after with blue. And same for the middle and the big sizes. I guess the sizes must be component with 3 variables, and the colors should be instance swaps? I am lost please help and explain step by step so I can understand. Thank you in advance! :)(I know it would be easier if they were really just colors, but they are different elements I just used colors for the sake of my question to understand the functionality)

Since Figma released the new Collapse layers button, I’ve been having issues with collapsing layers.Until now, I’ve relied heavily on the Opt + L shortcut in my workflow, and I especially liked that when collapsing, the tree for any selected layer would remain expanded.Now, that no longer seems to work. Whether I have a layer selected or not, all layers collapse, both when I use the shortcut and when I click the new button.I checked the release notes for April 2025, and this doesn’t appear to be the intended behavior. Has anyone else run into the same issue? Collapse LayersWe've added a new entry point to the layers panel to quickly collapse all layers. If you have an object selected, all layers will collapse except for the layer tree of your selection. With nothing selected, all layers will collapse!

Hi everyone!I’m currently building a design system for my company we have already a Figma Enterprise license, and we’re leveraging the API to sync design tokens with dev team. So far, things have worked well when it comes to color variations at the component level — we’re able to extract and sync those successfully. However, we’ve hit a bit of a roadblock: The Figma API doesn’t seem to expose component-level values for corner radius, padding, or spacing — at least not in a way we can reliably use for token sync.While color tokens are accessible, properties like padding or radius that vary across component variants (e.g. input/small vs input/large) aren’t available through the API in the same way. I’m wondering: Is there a workaround or best practice for syncing these kinds of values via the API? Any help, insights, or suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

I am building a plugin where we need to let the users to authenticate via SSO. These users are governed by internal IT policies and hence can’t use OAuth. Are there examples/primer on how to use SSO for authentication for Figma Plugins?

When I’m updating lots of text (like in list items) I often use the tab key to quickly jump to the next text element and continue typing without having to use the mouse. However, when I use the tab key to jump to the next text element in component instances, it jumps to the next text element in the layers list, even if that text element is hidden. This isn’t ideal, because I am trying to edit the next visible text element, and I have to tab through a lot of invisible items to get to the one I actually want to edit. Is this the intended behavior? I don’t think it used to work like this but can’t remember for sure.

When exporting using @2x, @3x, etc multipliers, Figma not only doubles the resolution (width x height) it also doubles the DPI of the image. I’ve been told by Figma on twitter that this is by design. My question is why? DPI is useful for print, but digital screens and devices completely ignore DPI when rendering an image. All they care about is the resolution. I know this sounds wrong, but it’s a fact. An image that is 100x100 will display the same on screen regardless of it is 72 or 144 DPI. High Density screens rely on larger resolutions (i.e. double the size, triple the size) and then pixels are doubled or tripled to get the high-quality look of retina or High DPI images. Also, if screens really did respect DPI, then doubling the DPI would be enough to support these screens. There would be no need to also double the resolution. By doubling both, you are effectively making an @2x image @4x. You’re also making the resulting exported image unnecessarily large. We have certain systems t

I need a pdf cheat sheet of the shortkeys for macOS.  the reason i need it in pdf is so that its reliable.  What i mean is is figma is so hard i would have to cuss to explain the problems i’m facing.  school is requiring me to go thru the old 4 tutorials which, because of the change in format since the video, i’m in hell right now.  i need a pdf so that i can open in in a side by side window.  figma is squirrelly as i could ever imagine.  i tried to load the cheat sheet in  to my desktop app of figma, but i can’t find it.  please Figma, take this as the worst feedback you could imagine.  I despise my situation that i’m in… having to figure out this crazy program.

I have a progress bar component that has two different sizes (M, L) and uses auto-layout hug so that when it’s nested in another component and swapped it changes size.I’m nesting this progress bar in a Tile component and absolutely positioning it with left, right, and bottom pinning.When I take an instance of the Tile component and try to resize the nested progress bar component, the component resizes, but it completely ignores the absolute positioning constraints and grows downward as if it was pinned to the top of the frame. The only solution I have found so far is to wrap the nested component in another auto-layout frame and use that to control the pining, but this seems like unnecessary nesting. I would expected any nested component that has pinning constraints set to obey those constraints when it resizes. Screen Recording attached

I’ve been using Cursor to vibe code some screens to help me speed up prototyping, which has been super helpful up until a certain point. When I needed to expand the prototype, I found myself wishing I could just pull the main screens back into Figma with all the design system components already in place.So far, the closest I’ve gotten is exporting HTML/CSS files, but I still need to manually rebuild them in Figma. The design system were built on React. Has anyone looked into this?

Hi everyone,I use Figma on the web, my macOS version is Sequoia 15.4.1. I have installed the Figma Agent and it said I can use local fonts on the web, but this is not working. I tried everything from clearing cache, restarting computer, refreshing page but Figma still doesn’t show the fonts under “Installed by You”. I also have the latest google chrome version. I can’t see the fonts in an existing Figma project and also not if I create a new file. Other programs on my mac like Adobe Illustrator show all fonts without an issue.Any solutions? Thank You!Best regards.

I want to change a variant and open an overlay with “Position: Manual” after a “click trigger” in Figma. The trigger performs both actions, but the overlay opens as “Centered” instead of “Manual.” Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi, I am experiencing for a few weeks now a problem when selecting various frames for export, I cannot change the file type it freezes, I have then to close the file open it again and again. Really annoying! Takes me ages to export. Help!

I’m trying to create the following scenario in my Figma prototype: There is an input field and a disabled button. Once the user types at least 3 characters, the button is enabled. Is there a way to use conditionals and variables in Figma to do this? Here’s an example of what I’m working with: https://www.figma.com/file/UbQIf2uwqG8bxYIIX1gh2D/Typing-prototype?type=design&node-id=1817%3A47672&mode=design&t=MRMxUzaH6xB5K0GK-1 Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone, I am creating a tinder-like app for my class final (due today!!) and everything was working fine until we sent it out for user testing and started to see that at times the prototype will crash and just produce a white screen. We have tried it on multiple different devices and no dice. It is 4144KB when downloaded with variable, smart animations, components etc.We see the crash most often when executing the swipe feature.Any assistance would be great! Here is the file: White 

I am working on a mobile prototype and want my users test it in the browser from mobile phones (not using Figma app). I made a proto for iPhone 13 dimensions and of course when you open it in browser, the screen dimension is smaller due to browser nav and status bar. I want my proto to fir the screen (may have empty space on the left and on the right) but the proto height will be fitted to the screen. Fir the screen in settings doesn’t work.
