So I recently decided I needed to “split” a variable in two. Originally it had this naming structure component-name/variable-name.I duplicated the variable, and renamed them to this naming convention component-name/app-section/variable name. Now after publishing the change, my components that was using the original variable, still has the original variable applied to it, and the changes I made to the variable with the name update are not applied to it. I understand that moving a variable into a different group might not be optimal, but technically it is the same variable as it was before. To achieve the updates, I now have to detach the variable from the components using it, then re-apply it. Is there a reason for this, and is there a way to “refresh” variables in some way? 

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about serverless architecture and its potential in shaping the future of eCommerce platforms. With scalability, reduced infrastructure costs, and faster deployments, it seems like a solid option for businesses that want to grow without worrying too much about backend maintenance.Companies have been exploring serverless setups for eCommerce web development projects, and it got me thinking: is this really the future?On the plus side, serverless promises cost efficiency, automatic scaling during peak traffic, and less operational overhead. But on the flip side, there are concerns about vendor lock-in, debugging complexity, and whether serverless is truly reliable for high-volume, transaction-heavy eCommerce websites.So, I’d love to hear from this community:1. Do you see serverless architecture as the next big leap for eCommerce?2. Or do you think traditional cloud-hosted solutions still make more sense for st

I created a site om Figma Make and purchased the domain from Netlify and more than 48 hours have passed and when i type in my domain i get an error message, please see picture attached). I contacted netlify and they told me it is a Figma issue. Can anyone help?

Hi all!First post here, but I’m looking to do some prototyping with vibe coding tools, but can’t seem to get my libraries to be accurately recreated in these tools.I want to export my figma design tokens/components but am wondering what the best way to do this is? If i want to export to lovable.Thanks

Figjam has the same crummy experience trying to copy a page/board as Figma does...you can’t just duplicate or move a board, you have to open the original, open a new blank file, copy and paste all content manually. It sucks. What is really being annoying right now is that images on the Figjam board are not being copied over even tho they are unlocked.

last few months i used figma edu plan, now that plan has been expired. now i want to unlock my account and downgrade to free planhow do i do that?

This what I keep getting after Iteration 273. I literally cannot do any other prompts!

When I use the /v1/file endpoint to retrieve the file data vie REST request, in the effects property of a node i cant see the relevant properties for the glass effect:{    type": "GLASS",    "visible": true} Is there any option to get the properties that are also available in the PluginAPI or a timeline when this data is present in the REST Api? Thanks, Felix

So, ive been using figma make for a few days now, and everything is absolutely smooth , getting amazing results, creating amazing flows, complex interactions, but starting from yesterday, my figma make became completely DUMB, every simple change that i make on the project, everything breaks, for example, i have a 3 tab design, with everything working fine, i asked figma make to remove 1 item of the accordion on the fist tab and the entire project breaks, the second and third tab simply lost their funcionalities just by doing this, ive tried just edit a text and still gettin this behaviour, everything breaks.Ive been asking consistently to figma make does not interact or interfere with anything else that im asking , but gettin the same faulty results.Dit anything change? why is this happening? do the IA getting dumber ?

If I use CMD+B shortcut on any Frame/Section, it bolds everything inside it, but can’t undo that operation using CMD+Z

Big fan of Figjam, but what drives me crazy, it is impossible to move a line. It is also not possible to copy and past it, without the pasted line having a different rotation. It looks like this is a know, but unsolved issue, for the past 3 years:  

Accidentally, I can’t see added component annotations in any other file or page besides the one where the component was created. This makes it difficult to keep documentation centralized and to inform stakeholders about specifications.Is there any workaround to view component annotations across different Figma files?

Hello! I’m trying to create one layout guide that can be used across multiple formats. Is there a way I can scale down a layout guide without maintaining a 50px margin/ gutter, i.e. I want the grid structure to look the same at different dimensions.

My control button is not working in combo with my mouse, has anyone else seen this? I can do ctrl+c and open the color-picker, and I can do ctrl+cmd+m and make a mask, but if I want to ctrl+click something I can’t. So the ctrl button itself is fine, it’s just that combination that’s stopped working. And I didn’t notice how often I do this until I suddenly can’t, lol. I can right-click (using my mouse) fine, but it’s as if ctrl-click has gotten mapped to something else in Figma. And this is only in the Figma app - it works normally everywhere else, including Figma in a browser. 🤷 Anyone else done this before?

Driving me coconuts! When I create a new frame, the frame will be automatically named “Frame 48095626” How do I reset the latter number to 0 or 1? This happens when I create shapes, the layer will be called “Oval 109384” or “Rectangle 12341239” I’ve tried checking and unchecking file>preferences> renaming duplicated layers.

Hi, Let’s start a conversation about how best to prompt Figma Make. I can see it’s going to be a very useful tool but it has some frustrations. (e.g. Today it kept changing layouts and functions when I give it something unrelated, then it won’t revert back. It say’s it has reverted back but it hasn’t.)I find feeding it little bits at a time works best. However, sometimes I give it a big task and it doesn’t it perfectly. Like today I supplied it 6 screenshots of questions to add to a form - about 120 questions and it performed the task perfectly.What do you find works best?

Hello!Will the free plans for students and teachers include AI tools in Figma Design? Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared for me yet.Thank you! 

Figma team, please, I want access to Figma AI.

Hi everyone,I’m currently exploring data visualization and would love to hear about the best tools and techniques for creating effective visualizations.A few things I’m curious about: What are your favorite tools for data visualization? (e.g., D3.js, Tableau, Power BI, etc.) How do you ensure clarity and engagement in your visualizations? What are some tips for optimizing performance and handling large datasets? If you’ve worked on any interesting data visualization projects or have recommendations for best practices, please share!Looking forward to learning from your experiences!

I installed Microsoft Yahei.ttf and Microsoft Yahei Bold.ttf on my computer. They work fine in Word, but in Figma only Regular shows up, not Bold. Does anyone know why?

Hi,I have an existing project with five slides that I think can look much better than it does. I had another designer create my slides using the fake 3D rotation technique (my choice). They look fine but I think they can look much better! Is there anyone willing to help me out with adding some quick edits to make them look better? I will give you a shout out on my clients website as the designer of the slides and give you all of the future design work that is related to Figma if you can help me to make this particular project a winner. I have 4 more 3D slides (single slide per project) and two other new website projects that need some intro animation starting up in two weeks time. That’s 6 new Figma related projects you can do for me, paid of course. 

Issue:When using the "While Hovering" interaction on a component, the hover state can become stuck — meaning it remains active even after the cursor leaves the element. This is especially noticeable when hovering over multiple instances of the same component in a prototype. The hover state lingers on all previously hovered items instead of resetting properly. Steps to Reproduce: Create a component with default and hover variants. Add a “While Hovering → Change to hover” interaction. Place multiple instances of the component in a layout. Preview the prototype. Hover over several instances one after another. Previous components stay in their hover state, even after the cursor leaves.   Expected Behavior:Only the element currently being hovered should show its hover st
