When a user adds a comment to Figma by click/dragging a box around something - is there away to turn this into a regular comment attached to a frame?The problem with these comments is they don’t follow Frames when moved using “Move to Page” like regular comments. There doesn’t seem to be away to move them without losing them - and I haven’t found away to change a comment done in this way to attach to an artboard - then move it.It’s pretty annoying as I don’t want to lose clients comments when organising the file.Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance! 😊
I’m trying to make an image gallery with a hover effect. I thought I could create one component with a blank image in both variants (normal/hover), duplicate it multiple times on my page, change the fill image for each instance, and keep the hover effect. But the images aren’t linked. When I hover and it switches variants, it changes the image.Is that even possible? Will I need to create multiple main components? Here’s my component where both image layer has the same name.Here’s me trying to change the image of an instance and being disappointed the image didn’t link in both variant of said instance.
All the semantic variables are just hex values the reference colors (primitive palette) are stored in STYLES instead of variables The semantic roles are doubled both in the vairables and the styles the components themselves consume the styles instead of the variables The option to generate the color table is not a checkbox like the documentation claims. its just a link to the plugin page? I just want a simple monochrome app with one accent color for my CTA. VERY standard stuff. I don’t want this weird multicolor rainbow library that gives me PINK cards. What is going on???…. It’s a literal nightmare. I can’t see how to use or customise it systematically, or why any of these decisions were made. Is there anybody here who has successfuly used it and actually understands how it works??
I have a published design library that uses extended collections. I made an update to the extended variables and published ( as normal). When accepting these changes into a design figma .. the file will not keep the update or it won’t accept the change. I have selected Update over a dozen times, closed figma, refreshed tabs, tried on web and desktop app and still it tells me i need to update
Both browser and desktop app are having “problem connecting to editor” but prototype files/pre-loaded prototypes in the recents section will open. Help?
Figma (application) loads a Macbook on M1 by 70%, while one draft file with a minimum number of layers is open. What could be causing this?
Several students are currently experiencing errors with their Figma Education accounts even after completing the verification process successfully. Their accounts were approved under the Education plan; however, they are encountering access limitations or feature restrictions that suggest the verification may not be fully applied and the system is requesting verification again after being verified.The issues reported include restricted access to education features, workspace limitations, or messages indicating they are still on a non-education plan despite verification confirmation.This is affecting their ability to complete coursework and collaborate within class projects. We would appreciate assistance reviewing these accounts to ensure the Education plan benefits are properly activated.Please let us know if specific account emails or additional documentation are required.
Hello Figma Team,I’ve noticed a behavior change after a recent update and wanted to check whether this is intentional or a regression.Environment macOS (Apple Silicon / arm64) Figma Desktop 126.0.4 → Remote debugging works 126.1.2 → Remote debugging no longer works What I’m ObservingWhen launching Figma 126.0.4 with: open -na "Figma" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222 the remote debugging endpoint binds successfully.

Hey,I just found through this video https://youtu.be/GbfUHfCocIY?t=802 that’s possible to change images by changing variable modes. At some point in the video (minute 18:17) we can see a string variable “Team ID” which is probably what he’s using in the images properties. But we don’t manage to see how he’s applying it.First of, I can only apply the variable to an instance, not the actual component. I tried to do that and then from that instance create a new component, it does seem over engineered, but it does work. However I have an issue where if I change the mode once, it works, but if I try to change again it doesn’t work.So I’m not sure what would be the right way to replicate what’s in the video.Any thoughts?
I’m posting here as I’ve been unable to get a response from Figma Support and am hoping someone from the team or the community can help. I am a Student on a Masters program and I’m experiencing an issue with the Figma Education verification process. SheerID has confirmed that my account was successfully verified on 9 September 2025, but I’m now unable to reapply or reset the verification due to a 335-day approval limit, which SheerID has stated is set and controlled by Figma. SheerID has made it clear that they cannot reset or override this restriction and has repeatedly directed me back to Figma. However, despite contacting Figma Support, I’ve yet to receive a response. At this point, I feel like I’m being passed back and forth between Figma and SheerID without any clear resolution. I’m honestly quite disappointed with the lack of communication and the slow response time from Figma, especially as this directly affects access to an education licence that I rely on. If anyone from Figm
I’ve designed a table with about 15 rows, each with 10 columns for a SaaS product I’m working on. Each row was created from an instance of a component. I’d like to change all of the data in the table so there’s some variance between each row/column so it’s more realistic. I tried using the Replace Content and Rewrite This AI tools by selecting the rows in the table and asking it to change the data so there’s more difference in the numbers (amounts and $$) in each row, but it just updates the first row with new data and then uses that same data in the rest of the rows. Could it have something to do with each row being an instance of a component? I’ve used the Replace Content and Rewrite This Ai tools other times, with some success, but in this case it’s having trouble. Let me know if there’s a different tool or better prompt to use.
I am a student at a higher education institution and I have been issued an official school email address by my university.Unfortunately, my university does not provide students with direct login credentials (password or external SSO access) for this email address. Access to the mailbox is only possible through the internal university system (Outlook / extranet), and it is not possible to log in to third-party services using this email account.Because of this limitation, I am unable to sign in to Figma using my school email address, even though I am eligible for the Figma Education plan.I would like to ask if there is any alternative way to verify my student status (for example, by providing proof of enrollment or a student certificate), or if there is any workaround in this situation.
I’m currently working with the Figma API and trying to retrieve data from a specific branch within my file. While I’ve identified the branch ID from the URL (e.g., https://www.figma.com/design//branch//...), I haven’t found any documentation indicating how to dynamically call or access branches using the API.Here are my questions:Is it possible to query a list of available branches or fetch branch-specific details using the Figma API?How can the branch_id parameter be utilized correctly in API requests, and are there any specific configurations required to access branches?Are there limitations or additional permissions needed to retrieve branch-specific content?For reference, I’m trying to execute the following API call with the branch_id parameter:https://api.figma.com/v1/files/?branch_id=I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this functionality or any alternative approaches to access branch-specific data programmatically. Thanks
I’ve tried every single link to get Sales to contact me regarding a purchase and nothing is working.

I’m trying to make a table with these parameters:4 columns Individual cells in columns 1–3 (like “expected shipment date”, expected delivery date”...) The table has to stretch horizontally proportionally with content always staying in its columns Columns 1–3 are grouped with the borderI don’t see how this is achievable in an adequate way. The way I did it now is having a second table underneath just for borders for columns 1–3 (“table 2” layer). With one layer it’s only possible to:Sacrifice grouping columns 1–3, then each cell will have it’s own border. Sacrifice stretching, then you can just adjust the cell’s border. Group columns 1–3 and use auto-stretching auto layout inside, but columns won’t stretch proportionally.Do you see any way to achieve that?The table“Table 1” layer (with content and individual cells)“Table 2” layer (with the border 1–3 columns border)Also attached the recording of how it’s stretching. It’s working, but like I said the second layer adds complications.
Hey all, I’m just getting round to investigating the native variable export options and have a question relating to $extensions .How relevant is this information outside of the Figma ecosystem? If I was to export this and add this to my GitHub Repository, should this just be something that I remove, and if so is there a way to exclude this from the export at all?If I understand correctly, that information is possibly only meant for importing into another file, but I just wanted to validate that assumption before hand.Some example code below to illustrate:"green": { "500": { "100A": { "$type": "color", "$value": { "colorSpace": "srgb", "components": [ 0.13333334028720856, 0.5254902243614197, 0.3960784375667572 ], "alpha": 1, "hex": "#228665" }, "$extensions": { "com.figma.variableId": "VariableID:5809:5642"
If we are accessing it from india so there should be an payment option to pay via UPI from india
Hi, I’ve noticed an issue with changing the font family in the variables modal. The font does not update across all pages and components automatically. The font can be changed to the correct family when double clicking on a text box. Cheers, Sanny
I have an enterprise subscription, and I am trying to apply variable modes (already created in the Variables menu) to an object. However, I don’t have an icon for ‘local variables’ in the Appearance palette. My object is selected, but I only have the ‘hide’ and ‘apply blend mode’ icons, plus ‘opacity’ and ‘corner radius’ as the other field options. ...What am I doing wrong?
We are currently not using variable modes, because our developers don’t get a clear enough inspection experience in Dev Mode.I would like to ask all of you 2 things:1. Do you know a solution that makes variable modes more explicit in Dev Mode?2. Can anyone please share how the new extended collections feature looks like when inspecting in Dev Mode? I want to know if it gives the developers a better experience there…Thank you in advance :)

Hi Figma community,I'm Kenta Konaka, a product designer/developer based in Japan.I've been using the Claude Code to Figma integration to capture and import designs, but I've noticed that Japanese characters are not rendered correctly.— they either appear as blank spaces, placeholder boxes (tofu), or are completely missing from the captured output.Steps to reproduce1. Use the `generate_figma_design` tool via Claude Code with Figma MCP2. Capture the target design containing Japanese text3. The design is generated into a Figma file4. Japanese characters are not visually rendered in Figma, even though the text data exists in the layersExpected behaviorJapanese text should be captured and displayed correctly, just like Latin characters.Actual behaviorJapanese characters are not visually displayed in the generated Figma file, even though the text data is present in the layer structure.Environment- Tool: Claude Code to Figma (via Figma MCP)- Language: Japanese (CJK characters)- OS: macOSThis
I’ve noticed uncomfortable lags when I share my screen via MS Teams and present something in Figma Desktop. It feels like fps drops drastically - from 60 to around 15-20. Mouse hover feedbacks with a noticeable delay. These lags I started notice after updating to macOS Sequoia. My setup: Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Pro with 32GB RAM, macOS Sequoia 15.0 External monitor HP Z27 connected via usb-c thunderbolt Figma Desktop 124.4.7 MS Teams for mac Version 24244.507.3125.3475 I started investigating to identify the root cause and so far I figured out the next: The issue is only with Figma Desktop and MS Teams mac app. If I use Figma in browser or MS Teams in browser, everything is smooth. The issue is more noticeable with UI3. When I switch back to previous UI, it works much smoother, however not perfect and smooth as without sharing. When I share the internal Macbook screen the issue is less to not noticeable. At least there is a difference. I tried different thunderbolt cables, no difference
