Hi,I’m reaching out because the deadline for Edu re-verification is fast approaching, and I haven’t received a response through other support channels yet. My team is anxious, and I’m unsure what to tell them.I’m Mark, Principal Product Designer at Code.org, a nonprofit working to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn AI and computer science as part of their K–12 education. About six years ago, Figma generously granted us a free team account for nonprofits. As the account admin/owner, I’ve been able to add/remove members with @code.org emails ever since.We all received the re-verification notice at the beginning of Septemeber. I was able to verified, and our account has the Edu badge, but none of my teammates have been able to re-verify the same way I did. I understand our case may be unusual—could you share guidance on what will happen to their accounts at the end of September? If there’s someone better to contact, I’d greatly appreciate the referral.The worst-case scenari

Hi, I am a college professor and a lot of my students have been locked out of Figma since the re-verification emails went out with recently. These are all students enrolled in an accredited university and in design classes that use Figma. And we use Figma in almost all our classes.I have watched these students be bounced back and forth between education@figma.com and SheerID -- a Catch-22 loop. They have given clear evidence that they are students. This also seems to just be happening randomly to some students and not others. Is there some ai-powered system that is making mistakes? Or is Figma about to go through a major change w/ its free access for Education?If so, there is a ton of stuff that we (and many others) would need to rethink.I am seeing a lot of messages about this, but is anything else having these issues?

While collaborating on a Figma file, we noticed an issue where text layers sometimes change unexpectedly. When my collaborator selects and edits a text object, it occasionally turns into a stroke-only text with no fill color. However, the properties panel still shows the text as having a fill, so the change isn’t reflected there.The only workaround I’ve found is to repeatedly click the affected text until it reverts back to displaying as a proper solid-filled text.Steps to Reproduce: Open a shared Figma file with at least two collaborators. Have one collaborator select a text layer and attempt to edit the text. Observe that the text sometimes switches to a stroke-only appearance, even though the properties panel shows a fill. Expected Result:Text should remain a solid fill when edited, with no mismatch between the canvas display and the properties panel.Actual Result:Text displays as stroke-only on the canvas while the properties panel still indicates a fill, requiring multiple cli

I run some quick plugins on my local usually and at times when I see the figma links in gmail, it usually opens in my browser.  And I remember loading my plugins using the manifest.json and running it in browser. But for some reason recently that option seems to be missing. Is there any change on that? From app  From Browser 

I’m currently working on several collaborative projects in Figma with my team, and one of the main challenges we’re facing is keeping our design components organized. Often, we end up with multiple versions of the same button, card, or icon because different team members create their own components instead of reusing what already exists. Over time, this creates clutter and makes it difficult to maintain consistency across projects.I’d like to understand the best practices for setting up and managing components in Figma in a way that avoids duplication and keeps everything streamlined. For example, what’s the best way to structure a design system or team library so that components are easy to find? How should we approach naming conventions, grouping, and categorization to ensure that everyone on the team knows where to look for assets?Additionally, I’m curious about how teams use Figma libraries at scale. Should we have one large shared library for all components, or is it better to bre

This is what's happening:1. When I try to copy and paste from the browser to the Figma Windows app, the function does not work at all. 2. When I try to copy and paste inside a figma file using the Windows app, the function still does not work.The shortcut and right-click options do not work for copying and pasting.I've had this problem since yesterday. I am using the most recent figma update for the figma windows app, and I checked the browser clipboard option, which does not help me.Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible. It's very annoying and makes it difficult to use the app.

When using the built-in Google Font version of Open Sans, there are discrepancies between the font style and font weight between full seat users and dev mode users. All full seat users in our account see the following listed in Dev Mode as 600 and Semibold. The dev mode only users see it as 400 and Condensed Regular.Full seat: Dev mode only: 

I’m working on data tables for a dashboard and I was wondering if theres a way to move columns/ rows without it “breaking” everything?

I made a website in Figma Site and everything was going well, but now when I preview the website, the font appears different than in the actual design. What is happening? 

Greetings, as I try to use Figma the slightest wrong touch causes a large pop-up option menu to cover the work area. This is the one that begins with “Copy… Paste here… Paste to replace...” Is there any way to disable this from ever appearing?

A team member wanted to make changes to one of our Buzz files. She has edit rights for the file. She made the changes in the Text boxes via the ‘edit content’ icon. I could see the changes in the text fields as well, but they aren’t showing in the design. They only showd in the design after i clicked into the text field and made a change as well (e.g. added a space or a ‘.’

figma account is paid ..despite doing the payment, owner account is still locked. This is unacceptable..totally frustrated after complaining multiple times to figma via hep center..nothing happened..

So I’ve built a site using variable sets as usual with intention to have both Light and Dark modes available only to find out there is no “Set variable mode” interaction in the menu for Figma Sites. Am I missing something? And if the feature is just gone, is there a workaround you can recommend to change the variable sets from the website UI? 

Since Figma made changes to the UI panel and how autolayout is displayed, I can’t figure out how to change the layer stacking order, which is resulting in my tooltips appearing beneath the text below. Anyone know how to find the settings to change this ordering?

A Figma document that I co-created with someone has been maliciously deleted by its owner (the creator). I'm looking for a way to restore it without going through the creator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.🙇🏻

Background:I am designing a simple sidebar for a website that can open and close. The sidebar contains element representing the different pages Each element can be active or not. When active, the color changes to blueActors:Sidebar Elements: as described in the top right panel, each variant is either active or not, and either open or closed. Sidebar: The Sidebar can be either open or closed Full prototype: As you can see, I only set the variant state to “active” directly in the prototype, so I only keep the parent component outside of the prototypes  Problem:When I close the sidebar, the instance swap “color” goes back to the default value I could create different Variants, one for each page, but I want to keep it easy and to the least number of variants possible.The sidebar is open and the first element is active​​​​​- When I close the sidebar, the text changes properly, but the color goes back to normal. why? As mentioned before, I could create one variant for each page with the elem

I’ve been wanting to change my email to my .edu email to verify for the education plan on Figma. I have been trying to change the email multiple times, and there’s always a popup saying that a verification email was sent, when it actually was not.I’ve even tried making a new account with my .edu email, but there’s no email with the verification link.Figma support does not even respond, I have tried contacting them. I’ll be happy if someone can help me resolve this issue.

Hello,I’m trying to get my Education account approved, but the system keeps saying that it has already been approved under another account.Because of this, I cannot proceed with approval on the account I actually want to use.Has anyone experienced a similar issue or know how to resolve it?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi!I’ve “developed” a web app via Figma make, it gives me and my team the possibility to add markups to animation shots. It’s working and all, but what is missin is persistency and collaborative work.I tried adding supabase to the formula, but it’s not really working. Figma make tried to make the connection with the supabase account but for some reason the login screen doesn’t work and has this phrase on top:Edge Function Not DeployedThe Supabase Edge Function needs to be deployed for collaborative features to work.To deploy the Edge Function:Install Supabase CLI: npm install -g supabase Login to Supabase: supabase login Deploy the function: supabase functions deploy serveryou can’t login, you can’t really access the app anymore.now, what should I do to make it work?Sorry I imagine this got too complex for Make to take care of and I’m not a real programmer (although I know bits of programming...)Any help is much appreciated

I’ve started using Figma Site mode and no plugins I use nor the option to get new to add showing up. I’m on Prof Plan. Did I miss any setting changes or it’s not available in Site mode yet?

This happens with large text boxes that stretch the entire height of my screen.

We’re building a country selector with flag icons for our design system. For legal/IP reasons we couldn’t just grab an existing flag set. Our IP&S department suggested we create our own abstracted, round versions so they’re safe to use.We designed the icons in Figma. To make them round, we used masks on groups (instead of subtracting everything into one circle shape), because otherwise it would be a huge amount of manual work and would result in SVGs with tons of paths and layers.The problem:When we export from Figma, those masks become opacity masks in the SVG. These render fine on desktop browsers, but cause issues in iOS and Android (both in apps and sometimes in WebViews).So my question is:👉 What’s the best practice for handling this? Should we: Convert all masks to <clipPath> post-export? Do a boolean “subtract/intersect” in Figma to bake the circle into the geometry? Or handle the rounding at the UI layer (e.g. border-radius / ImageView corner radius) and drop the
