Managing Changes in Figma Prototypes While Continuing Design Work

Hello everyone, I have a question and would greatly appreciate your help. 🙂 Here’s the situation: A design has been created, including a component and an interactive prototype. The prototype link has been sent to the clients and will be used for an indefinite period for review and feedback. In the meantime, work needs to continue on the component and the design without reflecting these changes in the prototype, that is already by the clients. I hope I’ve formulated the question clearly, and I’m curious if this problem is new to any of you. How do you handle such situations? Does anyone have an idea on how this could be resolved? Thank you very much in advance. Have a great day! 🙂

Need Help: Bypassing Save As Dialogue Box While Running Plugin

I’m encountering an issue with a plugin I’m developing where every time I try to save a generated file, it prompts me with the “Save As” dialogue box. I’m wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before and found a solution to bypass this dialogue box? Since I’m still getting the hang of Figma, I’m not sure if this is a common issue or if there’s a specific workaround for it. I’ve tried searching online for solutions, but haven’t had much luck finding a clear answer. If anyone has any suggestions or tips to bypass the “Save As” dialogue box while running the plugin, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much for your help!

View Version History menu option is gone

Tried looking at View Version History, but the option is no longer in the menu. In order to access it, I have to click “Save to Version History” and then “View All History”. Anyone else running into this issue? I used to be able to access it via the ⌘+/ hotkey.

Can someone else publish changes from a FigJam template?

Hello! Is it possible for other people other than you / the owner of a FigJam Template file to publish the changes with the template to be available for the rest of the Org? Upon reading this Help Center article I am under the impression that it’s possible, but I tested it initially with a colleague and they couldn’t seem to see the same button to “Publish changes” or something which was something I could see on my end. I made sure to invite them to the file as well and give them can edit privileges. Even after refreshing the file, they couldn’t seem to publish, only I could (since I owned the file).

Maintaining colors in After Effects

Hi people, I’m finding myself growingly irritated at trying to maintain correct looking colors through a motion design workflow. What I do: Copy RGB Values from a Figma library, use them in After Effects and immediately they look different (brighter, less saturated) from the ones in the Figma board. Now I’ve tried anything in after effects (no color management, color management, srgb, rec709, rec709 2.4 Gamma and even trying to convert the color space through adjustment layers but I just cannot get correct looking colors out of after effects, neither through h264, h265 or even ProRes 4444 rendering. I also switched in Figma between sRGB and P3 display colors. Anyone got an idea on why this happens and how to professionally avoid it? Thanks for all ideas, sorry for all information you would’ve needed I didn’t include yet. Cheers

Is it impossible to test plugin development?

I’ve built it with tsc watch and there are no errors at all. In this state, can’t I check if it works correctly by myself, or use it in Figma? Also, I’m still testing it and wanted to set it to private, but the default value is public. I thought it was possible to set it to private, wasn’t it? Help me… plz…

Why some UI elements are disabled?

Looking for an answer on why Spread in my drop shadow is disabled, I found a couple mentions of the following functionality: When you hover it you will see why it’s disabled. When you hover the disabled spread property, it will tell you why it’s disabled. In this case specifically it will be disabled when your frame/component doesn’t have a solid background and when it doesn’t have clip content checkbox enabled. This is great, but this does not work for me for some reason. Hovering over Spread in this screenshot shows nothing in both web or desktop apps. How can I enable that mysterious helpful tooltip?

Duplicating a Widget should re-render

We ran into an issue building out a widget: duplicating it on the artboard does not seem to cause it to run a render cycle. The duplicated widget matches the original (including state data). Our widget displays information based on the other instances of the same widget on the artboard (counts, etc.), so all of that information is inaccurate after duplication until a user interacts with one of the widget instances. Are we missing a way to force a render cycle on duplication?

Component getting detached upon paste

I think this issue has been around for almost 3 years. I love the tool, but this behavior is pretty destructive, especially because you often don’t know why, when, and where it’s happening. So much so that there’s a dedicated plugin to re-attach symbols. I sounded like there was some type of fix at work, but that was 2019. Any update? Spectrum – 13 Jun 18

Wrong variant after opening overlay

Hello! I have a problem (maybe a silly problem ;-)) regarding a variant of a component. The situation is as follows: I want to open an overlay with a press on a button. The Button is a component with three variants “Default”, “Hover” and OnClick. This variants represents the states of the button. I have designed the interaction in the way that while hovering on variant “Default” the component should change to variant “Hover” and while pressing the variant “Hover” it should change to “OnClick”. In most scenarios this works (e.g. navigating to another frame). But when I want to open an overlay, after opening the overlay the component does not change back to “Default” and remains in the state “OnClick”. What have I overseen? Is there an issue in the component / a missing interaction? Here is the Figma-File: https://www.figma.com/file/iUECcs8UZimjSHcai7Jbsv/ModalOpenendByButton?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=rIuvgGfvECTI0ipb-1 Sorry if there is already a similar topic

Moved components break instances link

Hello, We have a recent issue with our main Design file in our Organization, We actually have our Design system components and all our mockup into the same file. As the file is getting too much heavy we wanted to migrate the components to another file, using the « move component to this file ». It worked out for the first components, but in the middle of the process the links between the instances and the components broke, se we’ve tried to fix this by restoring both history versions. Everything works well on the main file like before, the issue is that we have in the library some Changes in pending, and once we click on « Publish » the components link broke up. Is there a way to cancel/delete the changes in pending of a library ?

Multi brand - using variable "modes" as different brands

Recently moved to Figma, and I’m having some headache deciding on how to best structure our files. We work with a white label app which we brand to (currently) around 20 clients. After moving to Figma, we would love a structure where we have 2 source of truth files (one for iOS and another for Android) which the client files would inherit changes from, but keeping their separate branding (color, radius, fonts). I understand this might not be possible, but is there a good way to avoid having to go back to each client file and manually update components if there are changes to the overall design which affects all client files? I’ve seen tutorials and examples of multi brand structures where they use Figma Variable “modes”, and set up one mode for each brand. They then link each artboard to a specific mode, so whenever a component is dragged/pasted into that artboard, it inherits the values from that artboard’s linked mode. This is essentially what we would want, but afaik this only works

Get auto layout component to snap into a container and fill the container, whatever size it is

Hey! I’m building a design system, so I need my components to be reusable and responsive to fit in all views. I’m trying to get a component (that has auto layout) to snap into a container, and automatically fill that container, so that I can make the component responsive to fit all views I need. For example a form field component that I want to add to a form for mobile and also to web. The containers for mobile and web are different size, so I need my form field component to fit to any of those containers when I’m drag and dropping the asset. I’ve tried every possible auto layout convination and nothing works, is it possible to do this? I couldn’t find this topic anywhere, sorry if it was already discussed.

Visual Studio Code Figma plugin: Should components be displayed? #problem

When using the Figma plugin in Visual Studio Code it seems that Single-variant components simply are not displayed? Is this by design? It seems very inconsistent as multi-variant component frames are listed in Figma plugin. This must either be a bug with current version of plugin or something wrong with my Figma file. Can someone please advise on how to trouble shoot this? See images attached that illustrate examples of single-variant / non-variant components not displayed in VS Code Figma plugin. Thanks,

Prototyping with variables and interactive components from library - how to?

I’m using a checkbox-component from a common component library. The checkboxes-component have some simple interactions for checking and unchecking the boxes. I’m using this checkbox-component in a prototype where you can select add-ons to a main product and I simply want to update the total price when the user is checking or unchecking the box. I’ve made a simple version of this prototype here. I’m trying to add logic to the interactions that’s already a part of the component, but it seems like it only register the interactions added on the initial state. (In this case it means that it keeps adding to the total price when checking the box, but never subtracting when unchecking). Is there a way to do this? (I could probably rebuild the variants I need for this simple component locally, but it just feels wrong 🥺 ) Thanks in advance!

Temporary edit-access to Figma file without adding editor seats

My team is trying to have more a collaborative wireframing process, where the whole product team (including engineers and product managers) get on a Figma file to wireframe together during a team meeting. However, I’m unable to grant access without making the entire team “editor” (and paying for a huge amount of extra editor seats). Is there a way of doing this? Perhaps something similar to “Open session for 24 hours” on FigJam?

Bug: variables clickable prototype

Intro: Hi! In my company, we’re currently working on a calendar feature that we’d like to test in Figma before moving to the development stage. I’m seeking advice because I’ve encountered some issues with variables (as I’m still learning about them). There might be some layer overlap causing the problem. While I’ve asked several colleagues for advice, I believe seeking help in a forum could provide additional insights. Case: It’s a calendar for archiving purposes, becase the only data available are the dates when episodes were aired on TV, nothing more (yeah, I know!). Feature: The calendar includes two dropdowns: A dropdown for selecting months. A dropdown for selecting years. A layout displaying dates and days. Bug: When clicking on a month, the episodes for that month should be displayed below in the layout. However, when clicking on a year, the month should remain the same, and only the year should change according to the episodes. This functionality works initially, but when nav

My prototype has a lot of lag but a week ago it ran perfectly

A Figma document that I have been working on and was already finished a week ago with no performance problems, but when I viewed it today it had too much lag in the smart animate of a navigation bar. Here you can see how the prototype worked until a week ago: 2023 09 22 18 39 11 1 1 And in this link how it currently runs: 2023 09 22 18 39 11 1 I also don’t think it is a memory usage problem since the document only uses 5%. What do you think is the problem that causes this? It also happens in both the desktop and browser versions.
