How to migrate external teams inside an organization?

Hi! Recently we decided to update our teams to organisation plan. We decided to try it on 1 of our 3 teams at first and then, if everything is fine, we would transfer other teams. We did it, but now we cannot understand how to transfer other teams 🙂 And now we stuck it the situation when two of our teams is outside of organization (with Professional plan). Every editor on these teams is already member of our organisation (as editor too). It’s projects and files outside of it. And both of the teams are on Professional plan. How can we transfer our team inside our organization? P.S.: we created ticket on this in support, but received no answer #397990

Vscode figma plugin "browse codegen plugins" is noop

I’ve installed the vscode Figma plugin (which seems excellent), but when I try to switch from CSS output style via “Browse codegen plugins…” the menu simply closes with no apparent result. I would expect it to open up a browse/find experience. I don’t see any errors. I’ve tried restarting the app.

Avoid breaking change

Can we list together which action generates breaking change on a component ? To know when it is better to create a duplicate component and deprecate the old one. Can’t: Delete a layer Can: Update the name Detach the variant

Can't turn a component set to a single component

Hi! I’m making an update to a component within the design system of my company. The component is a simple tab with 4 variants and it has to become a single component with no variants, because it has to be a tab-group with nested tab-atom component inside. Basically I want to design an atom component with variants (.tab) to put in the tab-group new component, because I don’t need the single tab anymore. To optimize the process, I tried not to create a new component named tab-group, instead I wanted to create the new atom component and update the actual tab component. Once I deleted the variants of the tab component, and only one is left (the one that has to become the tab group) The component is yet a set with 1 variant. Is there one way to solve this??

Organização do Figma

Bom dia! Foi solicitado no meu estagio que eu fizesse apenas 1 projeto totalmente interativo de um site inteiro (que é bem grande) no Figma, e gostaria de perguntar a voces se alguem ja fez algo parecido e/ou acham viavel? Atualemnte eu divido cada “aba” em uma pasta separada, o que me ajuda e ajuda o desenvolvedor tb, a ter acesso a somente aquela informação. Está ficando bem pesado de carregar e, devido a quantidade de interaçoes, confuso de visualizar tambem.

Replacing text and images in bulk

I have over 40 web banners and I want to swap out and replace with a new image. How can I do this without having to do it one at a time? The same apply’s with text. Can I update text on one frame and have it applied to all the other banners?

New User Tutorial Bugs

I tried to do the new user tutorial to create a new file, but it’s very buggy. After the “create frame” step, I hit next, and the next step pops up on the screen for a half of a second on the right side of the screen, and then it goes back to the create frame step. If I hit X, the create frame step goes away for a second and then comes back. I can neither exit, nor complete the tutorial.

Component won't show up in the prototype

Hi! I’m try to create a prototype that includes a dropdown. When I click the dropdown button in one frame, the dropdown is supposed to be open in the next frame (which is how it’s designed). However, the component for the open dropdown is not showing up in prototype view, despite being part of the second frame. It’s the config prototype view component that’s not showing up in the prototype. Any ideas why it’s not showing up and how I can fix this?

Anyone else having elements in Figma glitching and wiggling

I am using the desktop application on a Mac and I noticed that some elements will wiggle and glitch as of today. I recorded a video of what I am seeing. It also seems to delete text and I have to enter it multiple times. I have tried restarting the app and my computer but still happening. I also asked team members to see if it is happening on their end and they are seeing what I am seeing. Last part that seemed to have started today is when I try to exit out it is saying “I have unsaved changes”. I thought it might be a memory issue, but it says I am only using 12% of my available memory. Video of issue

Text jumps up/down within bounding box when selected - intermittent issue

This has been frustrating me for a while now so I thought I’d finally get around to posting! When editing a Figma file, if I select a text element the text can jump up/down within it’s bounding box. The bounding box does not change height, it’s just how the text sits within it that changes. So if you have two artboards with the same header + heading/text for example and select those elements on one of the artboards, the text can move up. So moving between each the text won’t align. So you need to through everything and click so it all matches. Not ideal but everything is consistent again at least …until a few days later when the opposite happens and the text moves back down to how it was. I thought this was down to multiple users and maybe different versions of the same font file but last night I left something, no one else has been in the file but I’m clicking stuff and the text is moving around again. So can’t be down to the font file or another user. All the typography is setup and

Components strange behavior

Hi everyone, this is happening since a few weeks now, idk why my components or the elements inside the components (ex. icons) look bigger than they should, but when I select the element it automatically reset to the right position. Then I close Figma, and when I go back to work, the components are broken again. Broken: (I would like to show the correct form of this buttons and other examples but Im a new user in this forum and I can post only one pic) Could you help me fix this? Thanks in advance.

Scaling constraints issues

This one has our team stumped, and I’m fairly sure it’s a bug. Our design system offers a card component whose backdrop is a rectangle set to position absolute, constraints set to scale/scale. The idea being that when you detach the component and drop content into the autolayout, the backdrop will scale and shrink accordingly. This has worked well through multiple rounds of testing, however it only works consistently if you either paste your card content into the autolayout or drag and drop it from the work area. If you try to drag and drop it from the assets manager, the constraints frequently fail and the backdrop no longer scales correctly. But not always! Has anyone run into a similar issue? And if so, were you able to fix it?

When do Figma embeds update?

Hello! Was curious on when Figma embeds refresh or update if something was changed in the embedded file preview shown. It’s more of to manage expectations from stakeholders, so I know if I should tell them “just refresh the page and the live embed of the file will be updated to the latest!” or “Figma embeds update every 24 hours” or something. 😅 I’m assuming refreshing the page will also refresh the file shown in the Figma embed, but I’m just curious if there was any other thing we had to watch out for. Thanks!

How Can I Simulate a Drag-to Path Effect in Figma Prototypes?

Hello Figma Community, I am working on a mobile app interface and looking to simulate a specific interaction in my prototype. As depicted in the attached screenshot, the app allows users to drag their finger from one cell to another, with the chosen path being highlighted by a red line. The interaction starts at a cell marked with a solid dot (the starting point) and concludes at a cell marked with an empty dot (the current finger position). I am striving to recreate this dynamic effect in Figma, where the path dynamically forms as the user drags their finger across the screen. Could anyone share insights or methods on how to best implement this? Specifically, I am interested in: Techniques to make the path (red line) appear as the user drags across the cells. Best practices for ensuring the prototype behaves responsively with this interaction. Any plugins or third-party tools that could facilitate this effect. Your guidance and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in

Variant addition breaks component

I have designed a menu bar, and once I make a variant of it or an instance of it it breaks the auto layout of the frame so the different frames within it don’t resize as one reopens. Picture 2. is the main component inside a frame and picture 1. is a instance of that main component. Same issue happens if I create a variant but still insert the main component. I want the component to work as the main component does in picture 2. Any feedback or help is appreciated!
