I have had the college verified and I and other teachers and one student from my class has been verified, the remainder are either waiting or have been rejected - they have used their class email and also have shown their enrolment screen  from our Waed platform that holds their student record.WHy is this so and how do we get them verified - all of these students had an invitation from me to join Figma.  Our unit has little time left and this is now an urgent situation

I have Figma MCP enabled but whenever I go to the MCP server URL I see the following response {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32001,"message":"Invalid sessionId"},"id":null}

I paid to access dev mode. My card was charged and I can see in Figma I have a Dev seat. But when I click to access dev mode I get the same message telling me I need to ask an admin to enter dev mode? What gives?   

windowsデスクトップ版を使用しています。今まで表示されていたフォントが表示されなくなりました。（モリサワフォントなど）他のillustratorなどでは表示されています。figmaを再インストールしたりモリサワフォントをログインしなおしたりしましたが効果がありませんでした。windowsのアップデート後に表示されなくなった気がするのですが、直し方ご存じの方教えてください。

depois dessa atualização não achei mais as opções de fontes que tinha antes o tamanho do texto e nem que tipo de fonte ele está usando

I canceled my subscription with figma and I was still debited today my invoice id is :in_1T0lU9IvcqWR3dFDXk013YKg please refund me thank you 

When a user adds a comment to Figma by click/dragging a box around something - is there away to turn this into a regular comment attached to a frame?The problem with these comments is they don’t follow Frames when moved using “Move to Page” like regular comments. There doesn’t seem to be away to move them without losing them - and I haven’t found away to change a comment done in this way to attach to an artboard - then move it.It’s pretty annoying as I don’t want to lose clients comments when organising the file.Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance! 😊

I’m trying to make an image gallery with a hover effect. I thought I could create one component with a blank image in both variants (normal/hover), duplicate it multiple times on my page, change the fill image for each instance, and keep the hover effect. But the images aren’t linked. When I hover and it switches variants, it changes the image.Is that even possible? Will I need to create multiple main components? Here’s my component where both image layer has the same name.Here’s me trying to change the image of an instance and being disappointed the image didn’t link in both variant of said instance.   

All the semantic variables are just hex values the reference colors (primitive palette) are stored in STYLES instead of variables The semantic roles are doubled both in the vairables and the styles the components themselves consume the styles instead of the variables The option to generate the color table is not a checkbox like the documentation claims. its just a link to the plugin page? I just want a simple monochrome app with one accent color for my CTA. VERY standard stuff. I don’t want this weird multicolor rainbow library that gives me PINK cards. What is going on???…. It’s a literal nightmare. I can’t see how to use or customise it systematically, or why any of these decisions were made. Is there anybody here who has successfuly used it and actually understands how it works??

I have a published design library that uses extended collections. I made an update to the extended variables and published ( as normal). When accepting these changes into a design figma .. the file will not keep the update or it won’t accept the change. I have selected Update over a dozen times, closed figma, refreshed tabs, tried on web and desktop app and still it tells me i need to update

Hey all, I am finally getting round to trialing out Code Connect, Figma MCP and the like to see how it all works and if there are any noticeable benefits to these features for my wider team.I had some issues initially setting up, but have finally gotten to the point where I can connect them to GitHub, for testing  purposes I am using the Figma Design System and corresponding coded components. However when connected, I get this error, and I am unsure how to fix it. Has anyone come across this before, and any advice on how to resolve? Thanks!  

Both browser and desktop app are having “problem connecting to editor” but prototype files/pre-loaded prototypes in the recents section will open. Help?

Figma (application) loads a Macbook on M1 by 70%, while one draft file with a minimum number of layers is open. What could be causing this?

Several students are currently experiencing errors with their Figma Education accounts even after completing the verification process successfully. Their accounts were approved under the Education plan; however, they are encountering access limitations or feature restrictions that suggest the verification may not be fully applied and the system is requesting verification again after being verified.The issues reported include restricted access to education features, workspace limitations, or messages indicating they are still on a non-education plan despite verification confirmation.This is affecting their ability to complete coursework and collaborate within class projects. We would appreciate assistance reviewing these accounts to ensure the Education plan benefits are properly activated.Please let us know if specific account emails or additional documentation are required.

Hello Figma Team,I’ve noticed a behavior change after a recent update and wanted to check whether this is intentional or a regression.Environment macOS (Apple Silicon / arm64) Figma Desktop 126.0.4 → Remote debugging works 126.1.2 → Remote debugging no longer works What I’m ObservingWhen launching Figma 126.0.4 with: open -na "Figma" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222  the remote debugging endpoint binds successfully. Verified with: lsof -nP -iTCP:9222 -sTCP:LISTEN Example output (working case on 126.0.4):COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAMEFigma 60295 yusuf.yilmaz 35u IPv4 0x2ad77ac47c7d47b7 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:9222 (LISTEN) However, after updating to 126.1.2, using the exact same launch command:open -na "Figma" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222

Hey,I just found through this video https://youtu.be/GbfUHfCocIY?t=802 that’s possible to change images by changing variable modes. At some point in the video (minute 18:17) we can see a string variable “Team ID” which is probably what he’s using in the images properties. But we don’t manage to see how he’s applying it.First of, I can only apply the variable to an instance, not the actual component. I tried to do that and then from that instance create a new component, it does seem over engineered, but it does work. However I have an issue where if I change the mode once, it works, but if I try to change again it doesn’t work.So I’m not sure what would be the right way to replicate what’s in the video.Any thoughts?

I’m posting here as I’ve been unable to get a response from Figma Support and am hoping someone from the team or the community can help. I am a Student on a Masters program and I’m experiencing an issue with the Figma Education verification process. SheerID has confirmed that my account was successfully verified on 9 September 2025, but I’m now unable to reapply or reset the verification due to a 335-day approval limit, which SheerID has stated is set and controlled by Figma. SheerID has made it clear that they cannot reset or override this restriction and has repeatedly directed me back to Figma. However, despite contacting Figma Support, I’ve yet to receive a response. At this point, I feel like I’m being passed back and forth between Figma and SheerID without any clear resolution. I’m honestly quite disappointed with the lack of communication and the slow response time from Figma, especially as this directly affects access to an education

I’ve designed a table with about 15 rows, each with 10 columns for a SaaS product I’m working on. Each row was created from an instance of a component. I’d like to change all of the data in the table so there’s some variance between each row/column so it’s more realistic. I tried using the Replace Content and Rewrite This AI tools by selecting the rows in the table and asking it to change the data so there’s more difference in the numbers (amounts and $$) in each row, but it just updates the first row with new data and then uses that same data in the rest of the rows. Could it have something to do with each row being an instance of a component? I’ve used the Replace Content and Rewrite This Ai tools other times, with some success, but in this case it’s having trouble.  Let me know if there’s a different tool or better prompt to use. 

I am a student at a higher education institution and I have been issued an official school email address by my university.Unfortunately, my university does not provide students with direct login credentials (password or external SSO access) for this email address. Access to the mailbox is only possible through the internal university system (Outlook / extranet), and it is not possible to log in to third-party services using this email account.Because of this limitation, I am unable to sign in to Figma using my school email address, even though I am eligible for the Figma Education plan.I would like to ask if there is any alternative way to verify my student status (for example, by providing proof of enrollment or a student certificate), or if there is any workaround in this situation.

I’m currently working with the Figma API and trying to retrieve data from a specific branch within my file. While I’ve identified the branch ID from the URL (e.g., https://www.figma.com/design//branch//...), I haven’t found any documentation indicating how to dynamically call or access branches using the API.Here are my questions:Is it possible to query a list of available branches or fetch branch-specific details using the Figma API?How can the branch_id parameter be utilized correctly in API requests, and are there any specific configurations required to access branches?Are there limitations or additional permissions needed to retrieve branch-specific content?For reference, I’m trying to execute the following API call with the branch_id parameter:

I’ve tried every single link to get Sales to contact me regarding a purchase and nothing is working.

Ok so I know theres loads of topics on this - but Im not sure I’ve seen one mention components, hence the new convo. TL;DR - I have a card containing 2 columns. I want the card to have column 1 smaller than the other. So Column 1 would be say, 25% the width of the card and column 2 would be 75% Now I see a lot of replies about setting fixed widths for column 1, fill for column 2…. about setting constraints etc, but this does not work, especially when working in components.  My card component has the variables of 1 or 2 columns, and of course - can be used in various screens, places, layouts and screen sizes. The card works beautifully when the columns are 50/50 scaling to my screen size, but just do not work at all for other width needs. Whats more, when I have my component, there is no way to override the widths of my internal columns unless I detach the component - breaking my whole system, and negating the whole point of components. Seriously s

Hi there! I have a problem. I cant enter in my work file and im very up set. Please help me to devide this problem. When i try to open my file spiner is go around and nothing more to happens.

 I’m trying to make a table with these parameters:4 columns Individual cells in columns 1–3 (like “expected shipment date”, expected delivery date”...) The table has to stretch horizontally proportionally with content always staying in its columns Columns 1–3 are grouped with the borderI don’t see how this is achievable in an adequate way. The way I did it now is having a second table underneath just for borders for columns 1–3 (“table 2” layer). With one layer it’s only possible to:Sacrifice grouping columns 1–3, then each cell will have it’s own border. Sacrifice stretching, then you can just adjust the cell’s border. Group columns 1–3 and use auto-stretching auto layout inside, but columns won’t stretch proportionally.Do you see any way to achieve that?
