Figma seems to be working hard on several key new features, and has completely neglected the management and maintenance of the community, and it often cannot be opened. Even if it is not upgraded, it should at least be guaranteed to be bug-free, right? 

Hi!I have a question that I would like to have an answer to in order to create/work with a plugin for Figma.I tested several Figma plugins related to string names generation/string push-pull and noticed that string IDs generated/pulled via plugin for text strings always override the actual names of text elements. Which means that plugin use these names as fields for meta-info. The actual text of the elements in kept in a container slot. And I can't change it without changing the text on my mockups. And looks like there is no other text field I can add information to.The question is, is there a way to keep meta-information (for example, textual) in some way for particular text elements in Figma? So that it is not kept as the name of text element or not kept as the actual text of the text element, but in some other way. If I need some meta-info to be connected to a particular text element, how can I do that? Does Figma API allow anything like that?

 Hello Figma Support Team,I’m experiencing severe issues with touchscreen and stylus input specifically in FigJam.For over six months, I was able to use my stylus to draw and annotate without any problems. I could also navigate the canvas smoothly using two fingers. However, recently this functionality has broken: When I select tools (e.g., the Selector) and try to pan the canvas with two fingers, the view wiggles unpredictably, making navigation nearly impossible. Drawing with my stylus now behaves erratically—strokes do not register accurately and jump around or lag. I have tested this on both the desktop app and in multiple browsers. The behavior is identical across all environments. This issue is easy to reproduce: simply use a stylus to draw and then try navigating with fingers in FigJam.I’d appreciate any guidance or updates on whether this regression is known or if a fix is planned, as this is disrupting my workflow.Thank you for your help.Best regards

I’m the admin of my workspace with the Professional plan, and I have a collab seat. How can I share a draft with viewing rights with my client, without having to upgrade to a full seat? Whenever I click the share button, I see the dialogue that I’m about to upgrade to a full seat. I even already upgraded by accident, which was annoying as it incurred extra cost for something I don’t need). On the free plan I’m able to share drafts without problem. Why isn’t that possible on the Professional plan? Here’s a screenshot of the dialogue that I get whenever I click the share button.  Would really appreciate some help with this, as it’s stated in the docs, that sharing designs with viewing rights should definitely be possible without upgrading the seat.  

Hello Figma friends,I am working on a prototype and having trouble making the 'Cancel' button in the final mockup to navigate to the tab where the Search entry point started from. I've tried using the 'Conditional' Action but nothing works.  Any kind advice are appreciated!!-----Figma file for testing:  

How can I copy frames created in Figma Make to Figma Design?

I’ve been having issues with images failing to upload and show a loading/buffering state for images.Happens when there are more than 1 image columns/cell and more than 1 row of content. No clean runs where all images from all rows and columns/cells get uploaded smoothly. Text columns/cells work fine on all rows.It’s hard to say what the trigger zone for this bug is--I’ve tested it with dozens of variations of sample XLXS files trying to replicate it and search for a sweet spot that doesn’t break the bulk uploads--always breaks with multiple rows and columns containing images. Pictured below: The upload preview and what it outputs when using the attached file. Screen recording of a test run.   

I am using theming.  I am creating a theme for each one of my brands.  One of my brands site background color is not a solid hex, however it is a linear gradient.  I am not seeing any way to do that within the variables.  Is that possible?

Hi everyone! Here is my setup:I have a main icon component that has all the sizes and the colors available.  There is an instance property on the main icon component where designers can select which icon they want (basically a nested component)  The nested icon component that is selected changes size and color depending on the settings of the main component Problem:We are adopting a new icon library I went into the icons that already exist and replaced the .svgs  I created new icons  Now all the instances of icon are not obeying the color property set in the parent and need to manually reset and reconfigured. This is hugely manual and annoying... is there something I can do to avoid all this effort, and why is this happening?

The fonts in my figma file have changed automatically to a random font, when I tap on them they change back to the correct fonts but I need to manually click on each text field. 

I’m taking a Figma class and in the video there are 2 things regarding ‘horizontal padding’ that are inconsistent with how my design is acting compared to the instructors. In the top left I can’t select the ‘Distribute horizontal spacing’ When I add horizontal padding to a group of components, it shifts them to the right, while and doesn’t add the correct padding on the left and right side of the cards which should push them 24 pixels inside of the parent frame.

Dear Figma Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request access to Figma First Draft. As a user currently on the free plan, I am very interested in exploring this feature to enhance my design workflow and bring more creativity and efficiency to my projects.I believe First Draft could be a valuable tool in helping me generate ideas and iterate faster, especially as I work on solo and collaborative design tasks. I’m eager to test its capabilities and provide feedback that could contribute to its development.Thank you for considering my request. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to try out First Draft and see how it can support my design process.Best regards,Mario

I upgraded to a Figma education plan, and while I am a current student, I do not plan on using Figma anymore and would like to cancel in advance, non-paid users cannot contact support.

When designing for the web, I often use effects like background blur, blend modes, or advanced layering techniques. However, not all of these are fully supported across all browsers or devices. I’d like to know if Figma has any tools, plugins, or best practices to help flag these kinds of compatibility issues early in the design process — or if this kind of consideration needs to be managed entirely outside of Figma.Any tips or workflows from others dealing with this would be appreciated.

We’re currently making our components responsive using variables. We’ve setup custom values for components, in this case our Checkbox. It should increase in size on smaller viewports. We’ve inserted icons inside the checkboxes which contains sizing variants  which are connected to the variables string to achieve the resizing. The resizing is working correctly, however the color breaks. I have checked all the layer nesting, naming, etc. Also re-factored the Icon naming and layering, but it still breaks.Please see the video.  

When I create an XLSX in excel with all of my images, when I go to upload them in the bulk uploader it completely reorders them when I have more than roughly 11-12 rows. See screenshot. It works fine for smaller runs of ~5-10 but when I create more the order changes when I upload it.  In screenshot the front column appears with the back images and vice versa after uploading.  

Hi,I have lost my most recent and the most important file on Figma and I can’t find the file in any of my projects section or in the deleted section. It just disappeared completely.I am the sole owner and editer for that file.It wasn’t a file in a team and it wasn’t in the deleted section either. I didn’t delete the file. I think maybe a bug in the “drafts to move” update on Figma, which I clicked a few days/weeks ago. Today when I launched my figma, it briefly told me the file transfer is still in progress? but then there’s nothing. And I have checked my emails to see if there are any teams deleted and nothing there too. Can the backend see or have the names of all the design files I created, deleted or moved somewhere. Maybe that can help what happened to the file. Again, it was my most recent created and edited file.I really needed that file, it contains all my works from my last company that laid me off a few months ago. Please help.

Went to my backup account today and found that it doesn't support AI features. Although updated to UI3. Can you please tell me what the problem is if both accounts are on free for now. Thank you very much in advance for the answer.

Just playing around with Figma sites on my mac and I noticed the the preview functionality tends to hang while it’s loading or it just loads a white screen. It’s pretty common occurance and reloading the project and restarting Figma doesn’t seem to fix the problem. My work around is that I found the Figma Site web app in the browser doesn’t seem to have this same caching issue. So at the moment I run Figma sites on the mac app to do all the design work but run the preview in the the browser app as it has no issues reloading the Site preview.Anyone else having similar issues running Figma Sites on the mac?
