I have created a template in Figma Slides. It contains several illustrations that are defined in a library within a design file in Figma.When I replace these illustrations, the colors within the illustration change to different color variables. All illustrations are set up with color variables defined in Figma, and this library is also added to Slides. In the preview in Slides, the colors appear correct.  

I made 3 button states as a component set. Then I set the interaction as follows:Assign → Click, Change to → Assigned (Issue: Only the text didn’t change to the Assigned state)Assigned → Hover, Change to → Remove (Worked as expected)I wonder why every time I made Click, Change to interaction between the component set didn’t change the text on the prototype preview. It’s very frustrating

When editing text in Figma Slides with a blue background, the bounding box around the selected text is not visible, making it difficult to adjust or align elements. This issue occurs because the bounding box color blends into the background, reducing visibility. A possible fix could be adjusting the contrast or adding an outline to ensure the bounding box remains distinguishable regardless of the background color.

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that Figma’s search functionality has changed recently. Previously, when searching for files within the Figma app, the search bar would consider text from file covers as input, making it easier to find files based on keywords displayed in the cover images. However, this no longer seems to be working. Has anyone else experienced this? Was this an intentional update, or could it be a bug? If there’s a new way to enable this behavior, I’d love to know! Would appreciate any insights or possible workarounds. Thanks!

My Figma desktop doesn’t get updated. I checked the solutions in the community and tried them all. I cleared the cache and uninstall the app many times also check the update on Figma app. but it doesn’t work. I’m getting mad with this problem. Please help me to update my Figma to 2024 version. Thanks. Also when i get the modal of the update available i press install now it doean’t work too. even i get this modal rarely.

Hi, it’s been a few months already and I still struggle with an old version of workspace, with menu bar on the top left. Desktop app says that there are no updates available. I tried all the ways, different devices, downloading the app again, downloaded it with the clean mac. Within the same desktop app, with different e-mail I can see the newest version, but I’d like to be able to work with my account e-mail address. 

I know this has been posted a few times but they’re all archived from a few years ago. Are there any updated solutions? The other ones don’t work for me. This is only an issue on the desktop app, online is fine and I’m on a mac. This started when I updated my OS to Sequoia, it was working normally before. Things I’ve tried:I found the preferences doc but there was no “last-directory” listed in there for me to edit I can’t move or rename the folder because its my Documents folder which literally cannot be moved or altered. If there is a way, I’d love to hear it I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, including deleting system files

The problem is still relevant. Can I find out if there will be a fix? Continuing the discussion from Prototype resetting Scroll Position even though those settings have not been selected:

I purchased a paid plan with 3 seats. I added somebody to the team but they are only showing up in one place. When I go to the Admin setting on the left side panel, I can see the person under Members. But when I go to All Projects in the left side panel, and click the little arrow next to the team name, I don’t see that person listed under View Members. Why is the UX on Figma so bad?

Hi - we are working on moving to Jira Cloud. In our data center version we have the Figma for Jira app. It’s worked great for those users who obtain their own personal access token and have our admins add those within Jira. However, not all Jira users have or need a Figma account, but would like to view the design specs in Jira.Our Jira admin team tried configuring according to this article for both data center and cloud, but users are still getting permissions related errors when attempting to add them. What could we be doing wrong? Do we need to have individual Figma accounts for each user within Jira? 

I’m running Figma on linux in the browser with figma-linux-font-helper to enable usage of local fonts — this helper is basically a drop-in replacement for the official Figma font helper with the difference that it also works on linux. Well, it did until today, when I noticed that my local fonts are not available anymore. When Investigating the issue I found that requests to localhost or 127.0.0.1 (with the purpose of communicating with the font helper) were no longer showing up in the network panel of the browser dev tools. Two days ago, everything was working fine and I didn’t change anything on my system since then. I asked around and for other people it’s basically the same story. After further experiments I discovered that Figma still send the requests, when I overwrite my User agent to: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 My suspicion now is that the app is sniffing the user agent and is not sending

Hello, We have developed internally a decoder which decodes Figma files to generate ARINC 661 content from the Figma content.I know that this is not supportted by Figma because *the format can be changed in any time* , but are there any “patent” restrictions on this if we own the Figma files (which means that we designed the files ourselves).  I’m thinking of copyrighted content for example. We are thinking of open sourcing the generic code we use.

Hello community any alternative plugin like Wiregen Ai.I cant find on figma

Hi, I’m experiencing an issue where some of my projects in Figma are disappearing without me deleting them. I’ve noticed this happens randomly, and I’m not sure if it’s a sync issue or a platform error. Could you please help me resolve this?

Hi, We’re experiencing issues with variable fonts suddenly switching to non-variable weights (example: from 550 to Regular) without anyone touching it. This has happened when: Multiple users are editing the same file Multiple users are viewing the same file, but no-one is editing There is only one user in the file As this has happened with several different fonts on several of our projects, is this a bug that has happened to anyone else?

“Hello everyone, as the title suggests, how do I switch from the monthly plan to the annual plan?”

I created a table using the Table Creator plugin. I have set up the tables colours, cell padding, fonts, etc. For the meantime, I added place holder text as I aim to use this table as a template. However, when I try to enter new text into the cells, and move on, it seems to change the text back to what the old text was. I have applied the detach instances to each row, so that it wouldn’t duplicate the content from one table to another. But for some reason, I have to type content into the same cell multiple times because it jumps back to what was there before. Eventually it does decide to stay though but, ideally, I don’t want to have to type in content multiple times. Please let me know if you are able to help 

I have started to create some styles with gradients. I have assigned variables to the individual stops. However, if you look at the element with this style as a developer, the variables do not appear but only the hex values for the individual stops. This makes little sense to me if others cannot see the variables that have been defined for the stops. Am I doing something wrong in the structure of the styles or is it designed so that you can’t see them?

The Shift + I panel with “AI beta” to insert components is very unpredictable. I can type the exact name of a local component and it’ll suggest one from a different library with a vaguely similar name. Or I’ll search for “button” and it’ll only suggest components not called button in the first five suggestions that are visible without clicking “show more”.Overall feels less stable and helpful than before.

Hi, I manage a Figma team with two other admins. The three of us have edit permissions on the team and the other eight members are view-only. I’m wondering if it is possible to set permissions at a file or project level, so that my other two admins cannot edit files in certain projects, or only edit files that they have edit permissions on.I believe an easy way of doing this would be to set their team permissions to can view, but if it is possible I would like them to retain their admin privileges of member management, etc. Is this possible? Thank you for your help.

I have been charged 15$ for each person I shared my file to. I have an annual account and I received an invoice for this for the past month’s activities. I’ve been using Figma only since February and I’m still just learning how to do things here. And not one person online talks about how sharing access to files is a charged service. I cannot afford to pay for this charge right now. I will have to look for an alternative service or create a different account and try to manage with that somehow. I have sent an email to support requesting that the fee be wavered. Nowhere in the app or online did it say this? And nor did it alert me while I was sharing the file that I would be charged for this. This is not at all transparent and super shady. I haven’t gotten any reply from Figma support regarding what can be done for this. I am yet to pay the fee because I simply cannot afford it and Figma is basically holding all my work hostage. I don’t know what to do now.

When trying to use an arrow from an element to its closest, arrow would ignore it and connect to the next one instead.

Hello,Thanks for checking into this issue. I have a component that has auto layout in it, however after applied the component, i can no longer use the auto layout feature in the component. Is it a setting issue?Let me give you an example.the purple zone is set as AUTO LAYOUT, and for the whole frame as MAIN, it is set as a component.After i apply the component into a new frame, the purple zone is no longer AUTO LAYOUT enabled. This is hard for me if i want to draw and drop something into this zone.Hopefully, i’ve made it clear. Does the communicaty have any solutions? Best regards
