I sent a query on figma for educators and students and has not received any feedback. How long do I wait til I get a response?

I'm participating in a Connected Project as a guest and encountering an issue with Figma MCP.Around September, I was able to use Figma MCP without any problems, but recently it has started returning the following error:Error: This resource couldn't be accessed. IMPORTANT: Before continuing, you must tell the user to make sure their paid Figma seat includes Dev Mode access, they have the right permissions for this file, and the provided link is valid.I have a Full Seat on my own team and can edit files in the guest project, so I don't believe there are any permission issues. (I can access files from my own team via the MCP server.)The host is on an Org Plan, and I'm a guest on a Pro Plan.I'm using the desktop MCP server.Does anyone have any information about this?

MacBook Pro Pro M3, this is what the application window looks like. It only works in the Safari browser. How can I solve this problem?

I have a issue with my viewer seats. Mainly in my company people that are not designers or devs have viewer seats. In the past, when I gave someone a viewer seat they could view all the files, but now if I share the file link, they have to request access and I have to approve it. It is very annoying having to do all that process.

Hi,I recently ran into a bug with the Wacom tablet while using Figma since the last update. On the video below you can see the issue:When I select the square with my trackpad, only the object is selected.When I select it with a pen, it acts as a 'double-click'', entering anchor edit mode.Is anyone experiencing the same issue?I tried solving this with forcing a custom 'right-click’ binding for a single click in the Wacom Centre, but was unsuccessful.Other software behaves normally. Running on Windows with a Wacom One.  

Hello, I always have a lot of trouble connecting to my institutional email from my smartphone.I need to connect my Educational Plan account, which I opened with my university's institutional email, to a private email address.

I have been added to a figma space for my client project with editing access granted and my name is coming up in the members list however I'm still unable to edit files within the space.

I have a a few project with in my account. There is one that I accidentally set to education and now a few of my team members cannot export or access the files because they do not qualify as students. How can i take my account status out of education and place it back into a free starter account? 

Hey everyone,I’m trying to update an existing component that was originally designed for mobile. I want to create desktop variants of it, and I’d like to add a new property called “Device” with two values: “Mobile” and “Desktop.”I haven’t used Figma since the new UI update, and somehow this simple task feels impossible now 😅Here’s what I tried: Selected the main component set Added a new Text property called “Device” Went to one of the variants to assign that property…but the new property doesn’t show up at all when I select a variant. Am I missing something obvious here? Is there a new way to add properties that apply to all variants (like it used to be)?My brain is broken — any help would be super appreciated!

There’s some issue I have with Figma when I export shadows. It’s definitely Figma, because it keeps on having some white edges which are visible on the shadow depending on where you view it on.However, tools like Add a Shadow to a PNG – Online PNG Maker work and don’t have this outline, so I ask if there’s any way to fix this with Figma, thanks. EDIT: This occurs from exporting SVG assets as PNG.

Hi everyone,I’m having an urgent issue and would really appreciate some help.My Figma Education plan recently expired, and since then, my only team has been locked. I’ve already deleted all other teams (I now have just one single team), but I still can’t create or access draft files, and the team hasn’t unlocked even after several days. It seems like the system still treats my account as if it’s over the free plan limits, even though I’m well within them now.Has anyone else faced this? Or could someone from Figma Support please look into this? I’m completely blocked from working right now.Thanks so much in advance!

Hey, there. I'm creating a huge collage for a future wallpaper. All of my image assets have a transparent background to blend into the canvas background. Here's an example with Airi Momoi from Project Sekai as a floating head.I thought of giving a unique color overlay for each image. However, adding one removes the transparent background of the image.Is there any way I can make the color overlay to only affect the colored part of the image and not the transparent part?I already know the masking method, but I don't want to duplicate every single image as it's own layer and group. How can I get the same overlay effect with just the layer of the image itself?Please and thank you.

I recently purchased a Figma Professional account. I'm having trouble publishing components. When I try to use my components in another file, the texts get mixed up with the icons, and the icons get bigger. What should I do?

Cline (vibe coding tool) is insisting that Figma MCP cannot provide gradient values, and is telling me the only way for it to grab gradient values is by guessing from a screenshot or having me provide directly. I can’t imagine this is the case-- or is that accurate?

Hello, I have a question and something I have been struggling to figure out. I am putting together a set of carousel cards that would feature video and image. With Carousel there is a featured card and two cards that normally would peak on the left and right. In my design I am taking advantage of using the figma responsive feature this way I can reduce the amount of components I am creating.  When I try to pull the card with. the cards peaking on the left and right I noticed that the card on the right is not responsive to me downsizing the width. This is because I cannot set the card to fill or else it will show or places itself in the viewport.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  There has got to be a way to pull in the right card when i resize whats in the frame.  Thanks FC 

I'm prototyping in Figma Sites, and I want to create an interaction where:A user clicks on something (like a button). After a delay, another action happens — like setting a variable or triggering another interaction.In Figma Design, I used to do this by:Using components with hidden states. Using change to I could nest an after delay function Setting an "After Delay" interaction on the hidden state to trigger the next action.But in Figma Sites, I can't define components, and anything created outside that will be out of scope so I can't use hidden states to manage delayed actions — and that’s where I’m stuck.

I tried to access my file, but I’m unable to do so .I don’t know if it was mistakenly removed or there’s another problem.This is very urgent please. This is the link to the file https://www.figma.com/design/G9ZsQKhN0UuiutGs4nYGtH/Untitled?node-id=0-1&t=mSHGdL8QH1dvhafF-1

Hi team! I’m trying to “Copy Make previews as design layers” on one make design and while it works for simple, short screens, it hangs (I see the “Copy as design layers...” in the bottom of the screen) and takes forever. In this case, it’s the landing page a colleague designed, which is big but I’d not say it’s huge :) It happens both on Desktop app (MacOS) and web versions.  Shall I somehow open a bug to report it?  Thanks! 

I'm experiencing significant issues with student verification for our educational plan, as our college does not use SheerID and instead relies on Google accounts.The verification process for students has resulted in numerous errors and access problems. Specifically, some students currently lack access because they cannot maintain a free account within the educational team structure. Furthermore, SheerID support has been unresponsive to our requests for help.As a related ongoing issue, SheerID has also failed to update our college's name, which officially changed last year.

Hello!I’m Coursera online course student. Recently my Educational team was locked with a warning “Your Education status has expired. To keep using Pro features, upgrade your team or verify your education status”. As it’s an online course, i can’t reverify myself. Coursera tells that they reported the issue, but the team is still locked.Could you please look into my case and tell me how can i fix it?Thank you in advance!

Hey ​@Tom Reem So i got mail regarding the Prompt-to-edit alpha test and it says I will be added to a dedicated slack channel for the same. But I couldnt find any email or link or ways to enter this channel.May I know how?

Hello!I created the animation on a separate page beforehand because I couldn’t get it to work initially. The animation consists of two Frames, but when I move it to its intended location inside a Frame, both Frames just sit next to each other with no animation happening.If I move it outside the Frame, I can set it as a starting point and the animation works as expected. But inside the layout Frame, it stops working.Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to make an animation between two Frames work inside a Frame?

Is anyone else having the issue when trying to type a word like “Discovery” (with a capital D, using Shift + D) that they go into developer mode? 😫This feels like a major bug, especially if I’m in the mode to type.
