Seeking Guidance on Responsive Design Workflow and Component Handling in Figma

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie UI/UX designer and am currently learning the ropes. I’m facing some challenges related to the workflow process for designing responsive websites in Figma. Workflow Confusion: After completing the desktop design, should I move on to creating the mobile version and then prototype both? Or is it better to prototype the desktop version first and then work on the mobile design and prototype? Component Sets: When designing for responsiveness, how should I handle component sets? We can’t apply constrains to Components. Do I need to detach instances to adjust components for mobile? I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how to tackle these issues efficiently. Thanks in advance!

Class schedule request

Hi everybody! I’m a teacher at the university and I’m helping my students in signing up to Figma with Educational plan. What kind of document/file should they upload in this form? (“Class schedule” is generic, especially dealing with differences in universities across the world 😉 )

I need to save a file to the cloud

I found “save .fig” but that saves it locally. I do not know how to save a file to the cloud. I am ready to share it but it’s currently “untitled” and there’s no “save” in the menu. Command+S does not attempt to save or add file name. I assume it’s currently saved and autosaves, but I feel like sharing an untitled document looks bad. Also I’m fery annoyed there’s no UI for a basic save, even Google docs lets you know when something is being saved

Access to my file denied

I want to access one of my files (“Novus”), but I’m unable to because it says I need to request permission to access it. However, I am supposed to be the owner of the file. How can I regain access to it? I have a lot of work material there, and I can’t afford to lose it.

Ctrl+L copies the wrong link

Reposting this as a bug since it isnt tagged as such, and years later it is not fixed: Link to nested frames Share an idea I asked the developer and there is a workaround. Instead of using the large blue share button top right, find the nested frame you want to link to in the layers panel. Then control-click, select Copy/paste as > Copy link. The link that gets generated then links to that specific frame. Hooray for Anders the developer!

Figma Prototype Query: Conditional Logic for Label Interaction on Multiple Text Fields

Is it possible in Figma to create a prototype where, when a user clicks on a text field, the label smoothly animates and moves up to the top border of the text field, mimicking the floating label effect commonly seen in form designs? Additionally, I want other text fields in the form to reset to their default state (with the label inside the text field) when they are not active. I’m particularly interested in achieving this functionality using interactions with onClick triggers and conditional logic, especially when managing multiple text fields within the same form. Any guidance or tips on setting this up would be greatly appreciated.

Change instance state based on other instance state with conditional variables

I’m trying to create a Figma prototype of a form with specific functionality. This is a multiselect form that exists out 6 of the same instances. This component this instance comes from has 4 states: Default Active Hover Disabled What I need to happen is that when a user selects ‘No preference’ all other selected options need to be turned off (aka set to ‘Default’). What also needs to happen is if ‘No preference’ is set to ‘Active’ and another option is selected, the ‘No Preference’ option needs to be turned off (aka set to ‘Default’). In short, ‘No preference’ can never be used in combination with any of the other options but the other options should be selectable with each other… Anybody can help me figure out how to get this working?

Is it possible to create a branch on a file while in View only?

Hello everyone ! I’m setting up a UI-kit and I’d like to get the other people in my team involved. Is there a way of keeping them in View Only but being able to create branches so that they can contribute via merging without running the risk of breaking files? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Suggestions for variable naming continuity between design and front-end?

Hi Figma Friends! I was wondering if anyone has had any ideas or workarounds when dealing with the dev-side of things for color variables. Currently we have a primitive color collection that is cross referenced with our semantic colors collection. Inside of the variable collection interface, we use groups to keep things organized and easy to use for our designers, but it seems like on the dev-mode side, Figma is translating the group names to individual variables. So for example, we have a variable called “bg-neutral-primary,” which is inside of the “Backgrounds/Primary” group in our semantic collection. In Figma, this is great because the group name appears as a heading above all the variables in that group and since the variables themselves have a predictable naming structure, we can quickly search through them in the color panel. However, in dev-mode the variable name becomes “–Background-Neutral-bg-neutral-primary” which is too long and less than ideal. It also prevents our devs fr

Figma continuously opening in Safari browser on it's own while Figma Desktop App is open

Hi all, Long time user of Figma and am currently experiencing a strange issue. When I open a file from the Figma Desktop app or from a Figma/FigJam file link, the file will open as usual in my app, but then Figma will also open in my safari browser (default browser set by my employer) and will continue to open over and over again, creating an unlimited amount of tabs every 15 seconds or so. It is only opening to the main Figma home dashboard. Has anyone else experienced this and/or have a fix?

Add an auto layout to the component (at the first level)

I have a component that is an auto layout. I would like to add an auto layout even earlier but I can’t do that. I could make an auto layout inside the component but I would have to copy all the settings of the first one into the new auto layout and then delete them from the initial one.

Native app designs and line-height problem

I will try to explain the problem that I and my dev team are facing right now. It is mainly about texts that are used in designs and building designs for native apps. Figma decided to use an approach that would be optimal for designers who work and build for different platforms. How texts are presented in designs required some kind of compromise described here Link which in general makes sense but is irrelevant to how typography should be built for native apps. Line-heigh that is implemented in Figma position text by adding from the top and the bottom of the text block the same amount of space. And in code, it doesn’t look the same. So we cannot use my interpretation of the typography that describes each font by font size and line-height. On iOS for example our devs could use lineHeightMultiple but because Figma respect different logic the differences between design and reality are far from the pixel-perfect world. The other workaround would be to not use line-height on designs, add “e
