Am I the only one who is totally confused as how the “Import from Figma” dialog window in Figma Make works? It shows only some files but not others, don’t know why. The text search is completely random IMO and you’re not able to select a specific page or a frame in the file - it just selects some random frame from a file.Why cannot I just browse all my projects and select a particular file and frame?From what I understood, selecting the design through this dialog is somehow superior to just copying and pasting a particular frame into the prompt. Figma Make is then able to extract more detailed information. Copying & pasting is just like a screenshot, I guess?

Okay, I’ve spent WEEKS problem shooting this with ChatGPT and today I finally found out what was wrong. It was a bug. Nothing I did wrong. So, I wanted to create a link navigation where the hover effect was an underline for the link text. First surpirse was that I couldn’t just do that inside my initial “Navigation button” component, because Figma overhauls text styles to be consistent within a component’s variants. Okay, easy workaround: create a Label component with an instance without underline and one with and use those inside the final button component using the underlined variant only in the “Hover” variant. I learned that interactions should only be done in the main component, not in the “Label” component. Okay, seemed to be working on the test layer, but moving it to the actual design page broke the interaction and nothing happened. Cue weeks of troubleshooting, creating and re-creating components, testing with background colour changes to see if at least the button hover insta

Hello,I am trying out figma code connect for our design system and codebase. I managed to successfully connect one component set via code connect cli. When I check any instance or variant of that component in figma dev mode, in code connect section I can see all properties and imports mapped correctly. However, when I am using figma remote mcp server in cursor and asking agent to see how to code that component, it does not get all that information included in code connect mapping. What could be an issue?For example, code snippet for this in figma:Code snippet returned by my cursor figma remote mcp is just figma own implementation.

The variables panel has broken completely for me. It’s not possible to select or collaps/expand groups. I think the expand/collapse has broken, when I select a group in the left pane it doesn’t seem to register that the above group has been collapsed and it still selects something in that collapsed group as if it was open instead of selecting the group I’m actually clicking. Effectively I cannot work with my variables atm. at all- please fix asap, it’s holding up alot of work for me. Thanks

In the Share settings of a given file (Share button >  Can view > Advanced), the Discoverable via search checkbox option is unchecked by default.I would think this refers to search within Figma (vs discoverable in general search engines), but searching for these files returns them in the results even with this setting is unchecked and when I’m not a member of the Team or Project.What does checking or unchecking this option actually do? And is there a way to globally, or at a Team level, change the default setting?  

Hi! I'm currently testing the Figma MCP integration using Cursor. It works fine when running cursor from Windows, but I’d like to have everything set up and working from WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).I tried forwarding port 3852, but it’s still not connecting properly.Has anyone managed to get it working from WSL? Any tips or steps you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know of a way to do promise-based messaging between the plugin and the UI? (@Gleb 🙂) Using the globals: parent.postMessage(...) → figma.ui.onmessage → figma.ui.postMessage(...) → window.onmessage can lead to spaghetti code… promises would be so much cleaner. Really only the UI → Plugin direction would be fine, e.g.: someCoolMessaging.post(type: 'get-some-data', payload: { id: 5 }).then(data => { console.log('got some data', data) }) .catch((error) => { console.log('error getting data from plugin') })

Hello Figma Team,I’m a student at the Vocational university Brobygrafiska in Sunne, Sweden (Digital Design, expected graduation 2026). For my coursework, I need to verify my account to the education plan. Unfortunately, my application for this has not been processed, neither from Figma or SheerId.Here’s what happened: I entered all my details correctly (school, program, dates, etc.). SheerID didn’t respond. I tried multiple times to provide documents (Student ID, enrollment confirmation) but was not able to, I only received an error message.  I have reached out to Figma support, but every time I only get the same response: “Please contact SheerID.” I did so but didn't receive an answer. What am I supposed to do if SheerID does not reply and simply ignores my requests?   I need to receive an education plan in order to complete my studies.What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi,I am Unable to find the "Plugin & Widget" option in Starter Plan (Figma). I just started using figma as on October 20, 2025.Please help and guide as how can I get access to the “Plugin & Widget” option in my Figma (Starter).Thanks,

Hi, I have been playing around with Figma MCP and it looks very promising. I am curious if @figma or anyone else has any guidance on writing system rules in cursor (or another IDE) specific to reading Figma designs / frames better.I am experimenting with creating links to other figma files / libraries for accessing Phosphor icons, Brand Colours, Brand Symbols etc to see if I can improve the accuracy of the coded output from my design. (*there appears to be a lot of guesswork by the A.I. despite these components are imported from a team library)*I will do a test on the layer naming to see if it works better.**If you are using Annotations on the design canvas I would be grateful to see what content you are adding there. 

I’m having an issue in my Figma Design file with colour library for past few days. Inside the colour library dropdown, the colours I have added from my Design System are not showing any thumbnail. I can see all the colour variable created in the Design System but none of the groups are showing colour thumbnails. Once I switch from grid view to list view in the colour library dropdown, I can see the complete list of all the colours and they are working correctly. But I’m still not seeing the colours thumnail associated to the variables. I’m attaching screenshots to give a better context of what the issue is. Any idea what I’m doing wrong or any suggestions to resolve this?Not able to see the colours in colour libraryCan see the colours in list view but colour thumbnail is still not visible  

After completing my verification with SheerID, I got an error message that says “It looks like you’ve already been approved for this offer.” However, when I check my account, I’m still on the Starter plan and don’t have access to the student plan features.

 Gentile team Figma,ho effettuato di recente l’upgrade al piano Professional. Desidero segnalare alcune criticità che, a mio avviso, risultano poco trasparenti e penalizzanti per gli utenti.1) Cambio permessi dopo l’upgradeDopo il passaggio al piano Professional, tutti gli utenti invitati al progetto che prima potevano modificare gratuitamente (senza funzionalità premium) non possono più farlo se non assegnando loro un seat a pagamento. Trovo questa scelta poco rispettosa verso gli utenti e, di fatto, una leva commerciale che spinge ad acquistare più seat anche quando si intendeva attivarne uno solo.2) Aggiunta di seat e addebito senza conferma esplicitaMentre lavoravo già con il piano Professional, un collaboratore (a cui non avevo assegnato un seat) mi ha chiesto di poter modificare. Concedendo l’editing, mi è stato addebitato automaticamente un seat aggiuntivo (importo di 20 euro), senza alcun avviso né schermata di conferma (riepilogo costi, data addebito, ecc.). L’addebito non aut

Hi! Why after installing a new version and after subscribing to collab mode the button (right one with rulers) doesnt work in design mode?

I was exploring Figma Make for training our design system foundational color tokens and elements, but when I trying to copy paste FIGMA frames/importing it to the prompt area, it was not working.. I couldn’t see the files/frames attached to the prompt thread. And even it got suddenly disabled the plus button (attach file/ import file) for me. 

Hello, I need to verify my educator account. I've been trying for 10 days, but I haven't been able to get any results. Even though I uploaded official documents proving that I am an educator, I haven't gotten any results so far. I have only 2 days left for verification. Is there an authorized person who can help me with this?

Hello dear figma team,  I noticed that when i paid for myself and my friend to collab in a project, the figma prototype key is visible to her but not for me and I need this urgently solved as I have something due soon.  hope to hear from you soon.

I recently upgraded to an educational account but it says I have reached my current limit. I have been using the AI to create a UI mockup. Why is my account being limited like if it were a starter account? 

SF Symbols now appear smaller when creating them using the keyboard. I had a library of SF Symbols in one of my files, and after comparing the same symbol with the same font size and all other settings, they appear different - the one from before looks significantly bigger. Also, after checking the size of SF Symbols used in the iOS 18 Official UI Kit from Apple, their size is still as big as it was before. What could be the issue? Thanks! 

Tried reaching out to Figma Talent Acquisition about a recruitment email to verify whether it’s real...but just saw that something similar has happened to others. Very detailed, seemed real, until I searched for the recruiter’s name, contact information redacted, and basically nothing came up in the search (which is damn near impossible), then I realized there was no branding.Subject: Executive Selection Notice — Formal Invitation for the Position of Remote Service Designer at Figma contact information redacted   Thu, Oct 16, 1:00 PM (2 days ago)         Dear R,I hope this message finds you in excellent spirits and at the pinnacle of your professional journey.

I am not able to rotate gradients when I add the swatches from the Variables, however if they are not linked to the variables there’s no issue.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am trying to avoid multiple layers.Why can’t I make a component with a text property and then have variants with different values in that property? What am I missing? Why do I have to create a master component and then wrap that in sub components?

Im trying to import my designs into Principle for mac, but for some reason it wont connect to Figma. It just hangs on “Getting documents” and then it says it couldn't reach Figma.It worked just fine earlier today. but suddenly stopped working this evening.Anybody else experiencing this?
