I am trying to build a plugin, with aws cognito as auth system. As I can’t access `wndow` object I have to make localized sign-in sign-out experience. For this I need to store few env variables like app id, client id, etc.I am using vite and preact https://github.com/mryechkin/figma-vite for building this, and when I build this using vite, it exposes my env variables when I inspect element. Is there a way to store them, so they are private?

Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with my dropdown prototype in Figma and hoping someone can help.I have a dropdown component with two states:Default (collapsed state) Expanded state (which includes two nested instances for the hover on/off effect of each dropdown option)The issue happens when I click the dropdown default twice—it throws the error:"Couldn't play interaction: nested instance is swapped with its parent instance."It seems like something is breaking with the instance swaps when transitioning between states. Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on how to fix it?Attaching a few screenshots for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The error in question

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on a Figma project with a remote team, and while the platform is fantastic, I’m running into a few collaboration challenges. I’d love to hear how others handle similar situations.First, I’m looking for tools or workflows that streamline communication and feedback during the design process. I came across (https://higgdominorp.id/), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma.Second, I’m having trouble keeping everyone aligned on design iterations. Does anyone have tips for organizing files, comments, or version control to avoid confusion?Lastly, I’d love to hear how others manage time zones and asynchronous work in remote Figma teams. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful?Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing you

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on a project where I need to enhance my Figma prototypes with video content, but I’m running into a few challenges and would love some advice.First, I’m looking for a reliable tool to edit and integrate video content into my prototypes. I came across this platform, I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that work well with Figma.Second, I’m having trouble optimizing the videos for different platforms (like web or mobile). Does anyone have tips for maintaining quality while keeping file sizes manageable?Lastly, I’d love to hear how others handle syncing video content and transitions smoothly in their prototypes. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful?Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

I’m currently the solo person on the team that works in Figma and eventually builds the website using Elementor. After designing a site and then discovering its not easy to implement a part of it, I want to recreate the Elementor widget in Figma and use variables for its design parts. (Sidenote: I’m at the point where I want to start to break free from Elementor but the boss and the client want to be able to edit the site.) I was able to do this successfully for one project, but want to make it easy to use for the multiple clients/projects that come. Variables were set up using the Base, Semantic, Component so changing a base color to the new brand’s colors is a simple process. I originally thought that having a library of the various Elementor widgets in a neutral color scheme would do that could be imported into various files. Components from that library still use its variables, as expected. Is there an easy way for me to map to the brand’s variables? Effecti

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on a project where I need to create animated prototypes from my Figma designs, but I’m running into a few challenges and would love some advice.First, I’m looking for a reliable tool to export and animate my Figma designs efficiently. I came across capcet (http://capcetapk.com), I’m curious if anyone has other recommendations, especially for tools that integrate well with Figma.Second, I’m having trouble optimizing the animations for different platforms (like web or mobile). Does anyone have tips for maintaining quality while keeping file sizes manageable?Lastly, I’d love to hear how others handle syncing animations and transitions smoothly in their prototypes. Are there any specific techniques or tools you’ve found particularly useful?Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

Figma is the best tool, but I think it have something to do better to make a nice portotype I don’t understand why the overflay not support smart animation? another question is when I use overlay Nav to another page, I can’t go back the overlay, I feeling so crazy…

Hi all !  I’m used to use the Pen to remove the background of my picture, and then resizing it as I want.But since the new updates, when I try to resize it it only resize the vector and not the image even if it’s the mask group that is selected. However, I don’t have the issue on older picture I’ve created a mask with before the update. Anyone has this issue too ? Thanks in advance 

Hi guys, I have a Figma file with 100s of frames and I would like to export each frame as a .fig file. But Figma only allows to save the whole file as .fig. Do you know a way to easily split each frame into different .fig files?

Hello! I want to create a simple Figma template that lets you add images to your design I want the image to have fixed width (to adhere to the column grid), but auto height to keep images aspect ratio. E.g. if my fixed width is 800px If a user inserts a portrait image, it resizes to 800px wide and becomes “tall” If a user inserts a landscape image, it resizes to 800px wide and becomes “short” Can’t find a way to do it: Auto-layouts, components, and “Place Image” maintain the dimensions of the old image “Choose Image” with the “Fit” option places new image in the middle of the old frame See attached image for the illustration of what I mean

When components are set “ready for dev”, if you just click on the component to check font (for example) it moves back to yellow. Nothing was change, I just clicked in the copy inside the component but it still moves back to yellow.

Some shortcuts are not working in figma desktop app (Doesn’t matter if its on mac or win) I cant use shortcut for changing text size,  swap outline with fill which is shift x and many more. Tried searching on figma forum and found nothing except keyboard layout, mine is set to US keyboard and its indeed a US keyboard

Hello all, We use a shared library with text styles, and it works across all files except for one, where a specific style (“Small 500”, which is weight = medium) cannot be selected. When I go to Edit Style, the font name appears broken—SF Pro Text is concatenated into a single string (losing all spaces). However, there’s no other visible indication why it should be broken. The “A?” yellow icon indicates the font (weight?) is not installed locally, but again, it works across all other files in our projects. Oddly enough, we can manually replicate the exact same text parameters in this file without issues. Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas on what’s going on? 🤔  

Hi everyone, Does anyone experience the issue opening Figma links in Microsoft Edge that the link redirects to a login page every time? Thanks for the support!

What happened to the variable details in Dev Mode that got announced recently? Below is a screenshot for reference. You’re supposed to get an ellipses on hover with the option to see variable details. They were working the other day and now I don’t see them? I’m on the latest version of Figma.

I’ve been seeing Figma fail to automatically save changes. It’s happened about 5 times but I have conclusive proof: after taking screen shots yesterday and when I turned my computer on today the changes I made were gone. What could be causing this and is there any way I can save manually?

I deleted my my team profile not knowing my drafts will be deleted also plz help me restore it , it happened last nightThank you :)

My figma keeps crashing, I use the browser version. I use it on a macbook pro-m3. Anyone that can help me here?! It happens like every once in 10 minutes once it starts. 

There is a node in the current file that uses local textStyle. I want to replace it with textStyle from teamLibrary.At present, I can obtain all textStyles locally based on getLocalTextStylesSync(). So how can I obtain all textStyles in teamLibrary?

Hi all.I want to get the modified datetime of a file with the plugin API.

I’ve been in the UX/UI industry for over 15 years and have worked with all kinds of different grid systems. I have a client who insists on using a baseline grid to align items, assets, and components. However, the components he builds with AutoLayout have all sorts of odd values (13, 17, etc.) just to ensure they fit within the baseline grid. To me, this feels awkward, and after countless discussions with him, I’m just exhausted from emphasizing the advantages of a grid system based on AutoLayout with consistent values like 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, etc. What is your workflow like?

Hi Figma community,I have an issue wheni first load this Figma prototype in Full Screen Presentation view, it seems the top of planet image/elemnt drop shadow is clipped?The issue only shows once when going to full screen prototype, in the intial smaller presentation window the issue is not present, if i tab back to Figma design and hide/show the planet element the issue is resolved when i come pack to the presentation windowI checked all surrounding elements and none have clip enabled, the planet image is a png with trasnparency dragged into figma, the drop shadow is a native property made in figmaHas anyone else come accross this issue?See screenshot of issue when opening to presentation view vvInitial load of prototype windows not in full screen, no issue vv 

Hi there, So had an google account without Gmail, i used my hotmail email account for my Google account. Since a few weeks I created a Gmail account under my existing Google account. If I now try to sign in with Google it signs me in with my new primary Gmail account and I can’t get to my old account. Is there some way how to fix this? on other websites it works fine when i now ry to sign in with google so i think Figma does something wrong with google sign in and creates new accounts. I hope there is a way to get my files back. I tried Figma support but i don’t have an payed account so they wont help me.
