Hello. I'm wondering how I can easily change the design system (colors and fonts) on a component that I copy from another figma project.For example: I have a figma document where I have all the components saved. Then I transfer this same component to another project. How can I now easily change the original design system of the component with the design system of the project to which I copied the component.I use local variables and not styles.What do I need to do to be able to use the design system of the current project on the component. The structure of the design systems is the same.

Hello. Does anyone know why, when I change the color of the icon in a variant of a button in the main component, this change only affects instances of the same variant that have the same icon, but not those with a different icon? I've tried several methods, but this issue keeps happening. Am I the only one experiencing this, or has it happened to someone else? Does anyone know of another way (other than switching the variant of the instance) to solve this? 

Hi everyone,I’ve seen a few posts about users accidentally adding more seats than they meant to — but that’s not what happened here.I was on a call with our admin, who shared their screen while adding 3 annual seats to our plan. However, after the process was completed, 6 seats were added instead. We’re both absolutely sure that only 3 seats were selected. Unfortunately, we didn’t record the screen at the time, but we’re confident this wasn’t a user error.Figma team — could you please look into this and help us resolve it?Has anyone else run into something similar?Thanks!

I have old components showing up in an updated and published library. These components have already been removed from the library. There are no instances of the component in the library. See the attached photo. The icons with the white background are old/removed. If I click on the icon with the white background and ‘go to main component’ it just brings me to the library but there’s no component in the library…

Hello community, I’ve just creted my first Figma design and I get an unexpected behavior on a component. I’ve created a card component to showcase company services. The card layout is the following: The “Scopri di più” button is an istance of another component and it’s set to revert its colors when hovered. Problem is: when hovering on the “Scopri di più” button, all istances of the button

Hi all. I’m pretty sure this topic was discussed a million times before, but every answer I came across so far kind if “dodged” the real issue… or at least not giving me what I need :) So, first of all, I’m new to Figma.To clarify my level of understanding:I understand what a master component is. I also understand what a component instance is. I know how to set and use component properties. I also know how to use place holders that you can set to “instance swap”, so you can replace these bits when you use an instance of a master component. I also understand nested components. With the above out of the way, let me explain my issue. Let’s talk about a simple thing, Form. I would think the very purpose of building a “design system” (or a component library) is to be able to control design “from above”. Therefor I set up a Form master com

I don't know what's going on with you lately, whether you're testing something or breaking it, but lately there have been a lot of bugs in figma, and some banal interactions just stupidly stop working (like smart angle changes, or blurring with smart animation, or some default options, like a banal state change in variants (without complex instructions in interactions they just break and don't work). What new things have you created that everything has gotten so much worse?

Hi there :) Could someone help me figure out why the padding on the tabs in the events section gets padding added on the inside?Will leave a link to the file below  

I’ve searched for information on this and it doesn’t seem to be very clear. We are an enterprise organization with several teams, but occasionally we work with third party contractors from other large orgs. Those contractors often have their own, paid, figma accounts and we invite them to work in our org. The problem I am having trouble understanding is why Figma seemingly wants that account to be paid on both orgs - I am not able to invite the paid account from another organization and have it suffice for editing in our org - it treats them like they need to pay on our org as well. Is this intended?

Hi!Two companies have merged and each team had their own figma accounts. Payment has been maintained for both accounts but we’d like to merge the organisations.The problem is that the admin for one account left the business and her email address was disabled before we realised she was the admin on the account so now we cannot get admin access to the one organisation but we still need those files.How do we get admin access to that account and then how do we merge the organisations?Thank you! 

Hi team!I have this following problem:I have Size which has options 1,2a offers 1a 2a 3a 4ab offers 1b 2b 3b 4bWhen i take out the component and look at variant 1 I should be able to see only 1a,2a,3a,4a. but i see 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b. If i click on 1b it switches me to b variant, naturally.So what gives? Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi! 🙂 I’m having the issue with a white line appearing around my SVG export, even though I have no sub pixels on any of the sizes (width/height, corner radius, box shadow, stroke…none) and all parts of my design is placed on the pixel grid, so no sub pixels there either. The issue only occurs on SVG export, not PNG. What could be the problem?? Thanks! Regards / M

Hi Figma, I like to keep myself focused. So, I want to hide certain useless elements from my interface, for ex. Figpal button.I know it is harmless, But based on Laws of UX - I like to minimize cognitive load to maximize usabilityhttps://www.nngroup.com/articles/minimize-cognitive-load/ 

While using figma for free we were able to collaborate with multiple people. Once We decided to buy some roles we lost access and others can only view rather than help. Is this normal? 

Does anyone else have the following problem?When annotations are visible on both dev and design mode, the Figma UI is laggier than when annotations are turned off where it’s more smoother? This is the case regardless if I have 5 or 20+ annotations on the screen.I have sufficient RAM on both the file and my laptop so it should be fine.

Hi guys,I’m working on making a design system right now, but I have some issues that I can’t figure out .I currently manage the brand through mode (green area in the pic), but there is a request that they want to limit user permission to see just the brand that they’re involved with, and they also don't want the designer to edit the main component.So I would like to ask Is it possible to just attach the brand file and then all the style changes without using mode (like the red area in the pic) ?  (still using the same component from the main design system)I have tried many ways, but still, it does not work.😫Thanks in advance  

I have a big projects with lots of comments and they keep disappearing and only reappearing when I restart Figma. I also have comments that have been resolved reappear all of a sudden and old and resolved comments reappearing in the wrong place. In short, comments are a complete mess and I would like some official confirmation that they are messed up so I can  tell my client that this is a know bug.And why are comments once I resolve not disappearing anymore?

Hello. I still haven't finished my studies at the design school, but my plan is over. How can I extend it? I haven't received a response to my re-verification. I still have six months of school left.

Noticed that there’s now an emoji animation when I detach instance. How can I hide this? 

Good morning, I tried to overlap two texts, creating a negative space on the edges of the first one by a stroke to subtract from the second one. I have repeated the 'operation several times but I have encountered the following problems: 1) often figma gets the outline of the text wrong and I don't know how to edit the selection 2) once I get the outline right and click “flatten” on the text in front, if I select both and click “subtraction” often the effect doesn't work and the images are not edited.May I know what is the correct procedure to make the outlines of the texts and to overlap them with the effect of negative space on the edges of the first text applied to the second text ?Thank youTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)

good morning, I can't create textured/distressed text with figma. Let me explain: if I upload a jpg texture image, apply it over a text, select both image and text and click “mask”, everything works but the text color is no longer editable. But I would like to apply the texture to the text while maintaining the ability to change the color of the text. I tried to do the opposite and bring the text on top of the image and apply the mask, but the text remains unchanged and the image underneath disappears.Can you please help me ? Thanks 

Hello!I am wondering if there is a way to have the content in a mobile layout in Figma that automatically updates when you edit the content on the desktop layout, and vice-versa. For instance, if I have the two layouts side-by-side and I update the headline copy on desktop, I want it to also automatically update on mobile, so I don’t need to copy and paste back & forth. Same with an image fill or button text.I tried creating a component with the desktop and mobile sizes as different variants, and it updates the size correctly when I switch variants, but not the content (text and/or image). I’m assuming something needs to be linked somewhere in order for this to happen, but I’m not sure what or where. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

Hello hope you're doing good today. I am facing a problem with my figma account. I have no longer access to my student gmail account and suddenly I also lost access to my figma account too. But there so many important files that I need. Can anyone please help me to recovery my account?

I have a modal drawer component, where the body is just one big slot. So the designer would make their drawer content into a component, and swap that into the slot. The problem is that the drawer contents have states and variants, but none of these are surfaced at the top level, even when I try to expose them.
