Presentation Flow Sidebar Links Do Not Follow Navigation

Figma provides a sidebar where we can assign a “Flow Starting Point.” We can assign them to all of our frames and use the sidebar during presentation to click to navigate to a point. Love that! It even allows for a description of each frame. Great. As you click a point in the sidebar, the check mark shows that is the frame that you have navigated to. Great. However… When navigating through a presentation by clicking interactions within your frames…the sidebar does not follow. By nature, IF I click a link that takes me to a frame that has a Flow Starting Point associated with it, the sidebar should indicate my position by setting the checkmark by the active page. This does not happen. Not great. This leaves viewers looking at a selected item in the sidebar that is NOT the actual frame that they are viewing. Not sure how this has gone this long without correction. I feel I may be the only one detailed enough and OCD enough who uses the sidebar. 🙀

Publishing small component change is reseting some instances' text properties

I see some older mentions of similar problems but this seems a little different. I’ve reproduced this in a standalone library and design file… I start with a MUI Select component in my library and create instances in a separate design file like this. Each label and value are set by Text properties. I then update the library to slightly restructure the component. Each label gets grouped with another text layer that optionally shows a “*” if a new “required” property is true. When I publish the library, I expected all the labels and values to remain unchanged… but, only some of the variants do… The funny thing here is only 1 reset. The last time I tried this, 3 of them reset. What is going on? (Ignore the error variant’s label’s color change - my mistake.)

Let me decide when to adopt new layouts

I love Figma, but please don’t move my frequently used tools with no notice. Give me the option of adopting new designs when it’s convenient. I don’t want to hunt for frequently used tools on my hand-off day.

Sketch user here transitioning to Figma

Hi everyone, I have a question about layer styles. In Sketch, you can set a layer style for a title, including values like font color, font, size, etc. However, in Figma, it seems that you can only apply layer styles to typography information, and color needs to be set separately. For example, if I want to create an error notification title in Figma with 12px, red, and bold text, I would need to create a text style with the 12px and bold settings and a separate style for the color. In Sketch, you could create a style called “error title” that includes the font weight, size, and color all in one. Is it possible to combine these styles in Figma, or do they need to be applied separately?

Figma Type Tokens: Mode Switching and Variable Display Issue

I have type variables bound to a type style, and when I switch modes from desktop to iOS, I can’t see the changes in the type style properties. It always shows the first column (Mode), which in this case would be desktop. Any ideas on why this happens? This first screen has the desktop (Mode) active. This second screen has iOS (Mode) selected. The type scale changes visually but the display of the variables is not changed unless I go into dev mode. Is this as intended?

API refrence to clean up plugin data from layers?

Hello everyone, Throughout my projects, I frequently utilize a variety of plugins to optimize my workflow. Recently, as I was developing an Icon library, I incorporated a plugin to expedite the process. However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. So I decided to create a plugin to do this, is there an API reference to remove plugin trace from layer with bulk selection? or even better one, inspect layers with plugin data and remove all of them as bulk ?

Hello everyone, Throughout my projects, I frequently utilize a variety of plugins to optimize my workflow.

However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. Is there a technique to accomplish this in bulk? Additionally, in more complex projects where I apply a sequence of plugins, I’m curious if there’s a streamlined method to erase all plugin data from every layer in one action before making the project public. Is there a method or plugin that anyone has used successfully for this purpose?

Upgrading to Premium

Hello, I’m trying to upgrade my account to professional. On the very first step, I see “Adjust seats”, where I can see one more account that is not mine and I don’t know whose account it is. Now, my question is how should I remove them from that step? If not, will it be a problem in future? I’m adding a screenshot of the same. Please help. Thanks!

Mobile App prototype is flashing videos

I have built a prototype out and when I play it on desktop it works fine. This prototype has a video background. When I play it on the mobile app, the videos are lagging on load causing a flashing effect. This makes the transition pretty janky. I have confirmed I’m on the latest update of app and OS, layers are named the same and in the same order. How can I fix the flashing videos on transitions?

Prototype video flickers once only in Figma App

I’ve embedded a video in my prototype, it works great on desktop. But when I try to view it in the Figma app it shows me the first frame, then disappears then comes back a second or two later and starts to play. It’s important to note that it just “suddenly” started to happen. There were no changes to that section of the prototype. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to fix it. Thoughts?

Can variables be used to select variants within nested component instances?

Can variables reliably be used to select which variant is used for a component when the instance is nested within another component instance? E.g. Screen Header – Logo (variant = BrandA) Screen Header – Logo (variant = BrandB) I am finding that using a variable to set which variant is to be used for an instance that is nested does not reliably load. Or does it only fail when there are mode conflicts, and if so, how to resolve mode conflicts? Have tried following this reference without success yet:Figma Learn - Help Center Any ideas @Gleb , @tank666 or anyone else? Thanks, Martyn

How to use API to create new frame with layoutmode of WRAP?

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.layoutMode | Plugin API How to create a new frame and set the layout mode to be wrap rather than horizontal or vertical please? Can do for vertical like this: var frameWrapper = Figma.createFrame(); frameWrapper.name = “spans”; frameWrapper.x = 100; frameWrapper.y = 100; frameWrapper.layoutMode = ‘VERTICAL’; // layoutMode: ‘NONE’ | ‘HORIZONTAL’ | ‘VERTICAL’ But, the documentation does not show an option for ‘WRAP’ Are the docs just out of date, or is there another way please?

WHY AREN’T THE SALES TEAM AT FIGMA RESPONDING TO US? Its been nearly 2 weeks and we’ve had no response. Anyone else having issues getting in contact with them? This is really frustrating.

Dev mode not showing the same variable name as design mode

I initially named a variable as background/buttons/primary. Later, this was changed to Cta/primary/default. I updated the variable name throughout the design environment, and the old variable name is no longer present. However, the same component now shows a different variable name in design and development modes. When I changed the color to another value, the variable updated correctly. But when I used a variable with the same color value, it reverted to the old variable name, which no longer exists. Could you please help me resolve this issue? Dev mode: Design mode

Component publishing loop after moving component

Hi! Something very unusual happened today: I moved some master components from a file to another, as I have done may times before [cut > paste > publish]. I immediately notice that some of the pasted components were flagged as “invalid” and decided to history revert the changes, after that the trouble begun. Once the components were reverted in the original file, they asked to be published again. After doing that all the instances of those components (both in the same and other files) lost the connection to the master components and asked to “restore component”. When I try to restore the component, the restored master asks to be updated, only to cause the instance to lose the connection again and ask a new “restore component”. An infinite component publishing loop. Furthermore, no matter how far I go in the history, this problem persists and I can’t seem to get rid of it. Any ideas on what could have happened? Thank you very much in advance!

Figma Desktop app - Disabled Keys issue (windows 11)

I never came across this issue on OSX its only since I’ve been using Windows 11 fulltime. Basically when using the app I sometimes hit the Windows key between CTRL and ALT and the start menu pop-ups sometimes (thats fine), but then once back focused on the Figma desktop app, many keys stop working e.g. “X” “C” “V” “CTRL” “H” … just a bunch of random keys won’t respond. At first I thought it was something to do with a conflicting app I had installed, but it seems quite odd as I have a pretty clean/fresh build of Win11 with not many apps installed. Figma version: 124.2.9
