Hi folks!I am an Angular 19 developer and I want to use all designs, controls and screens built by my colleague in Figma with the M3 library kit. All styles, schemes, background colors (or other colors etc.) refer to the correspondent M3 schemes and colors. Currently I am using a plugin in Figma to export all variables. My question: Based on given export file format (CSS or SCSS)… How to use these variables in Angular/Material3 on development side?

I have a file that contains main components, and in that same file I’m using children of these components as nested components (e.g. component 1 = button, component 2 = card containing button). I created a branch via the branching feature of Figma. However, in this branch, child components and main components lose connection. I change the button, but changes are not visible on the button in the card. The child component still refers to the main component in the main file. Is this supposed to be like that? How am I supposed to test changes to components like this? Right now I would have to make the changes to the button in the main file instead of the branch, which is exactly what I want to prevent by branching. Am I missing something here?

I'm using an icon from the Bootstrap icon library in our project. Some of the icons appear to use boolean operations, and we're unable to change their color in their instance. When we check the vector layer panel, it shows "Update boolean operation," but clicking it doesn't have any effect.

Even when frames share the same name, like ScrollFrame/1 and ScrollFrame/2, and the 'Reset scroll position' option is disabled, the scroll position still resets when navigating back with a back interaction from one webpage to another.

No matter what I search the same items always show up. When I change my search it shows a progress icon and the background is greyed out, but nothing changes(Side note, I also miss the big search bar in the middle of the screen for the community)

Greetings!As soon as I add an annotation to the frame/autolayout, all text styles break in this frame — they are reset.Text styles are stored in the library connected to the design file. I'm the only one with access to the design files and library.This problem is not always reproducible.UPD:I tried adding an annotation in another design file with the same attached library, but the problem repeats.There are no problems in the design library. MacOS, Sequoia 15.4.1Figma app latest

Over the past few months, Figma has been shipping random small updates to the app. One includes the “new” undo system. It almost never does what it’s supposed to do which is UNDO the last thing i did. It usually undos 2 things instead of just one… This wasnt always the case. Like I said earlier they have been shipping a bunch of random stuff not just the new undo system. Another thing they broke which is almost equally annoying is the new “accessibility” UI interactions, where you can use the keyboard to interact with the sidebar. This functionality completely disregards keyboard shortcuts for designing though. You can click a button in the sidebar, go back to designing, press enter and wonder why its not selecting your design and come to find its activating the button you clicked earlier.

Command + /  has always worked but instead brings up a Search box.  Command + .  hides/shows UI.    Why is this and if a common change why do the dropdown menus still list the ‘Command + /’ quick key? Also the haven’t used any new apps (Notion, Spotify and Logic Pro are the main ones) It’s super frustrating when this behavior occurs and want to know if this is something I’ve done or Figma just being slow to update documentation.

Hello community,I was wondering if it is possible (either natively or through a plugin some of you may have come across) to select all component instances on a page based on a specific component property?For example, suppose I have a button component with different "size" variants. One size property is called "desktop" and the other is called "mobile". I want to select only the instances with the "desktop" property.How would I go about doing this? I couldn't find any specific plugin on my own that could help me do this, so I thought I would ask here since someone else may have come across this specific need and solved it.

I’d like to grab an existing site from Github and use it as the foundations for Figma Make. How do I do this?

Hi!I’m having an issue with my hover and scroll behavior. I’m currently trying to create a button that will highlight on hover. However, when I get the highlight to work, I’m unable to scroll when my mouse is over the button. If I move it off the button, I’m able to scroll again.The component I’m using for the hover is not under the “Scrolls” section, because if I drag the layer there, the highlight no longer works.   How do I make my button highlight while also being able to scroll when my mouse is hovering over it? You can view the prototype here to understand the issue better:  

 Hello Figma Community,I am enthusiastic about Figma and it's new features, Figma Buzz for example. I would like to introduce Figma Buzz to my colleagues, but I am not completely sure if it is suitable for what we as a company want to do with it: create large, high-resolution posters for events.I'd like to find out if  (high resolution) files made in & exported from Figma Buzz (often .pdf) are good enough quality to hand off to a professional printing house. Does an exported high resolution PDF in CMYK color format, meet the output format requirements for large-scale printing?Are the raster image handling and (PDF) export options in Figma Buzz specifically for high-resolution print good enough, or still developing?Thanks a lot in advance!Marinske. 

When right-clicking on the canvas, it unexpectedly selects lock layers. It complicates when you’re trying to use “Paste here.” Is this a bug?

Hello! I'm trying to create a new API token in Figma in order to transfer the layout to Tilda. But the "create token" button is inactive. What can I do?

Hi, I’m wondering if any sites I publish with Figma Sites while on full seat will remain live online after I downgrade the plan. I’m assuming it will just not let me make any edits and publish new edits after downgrading, is that correct? 

Figma May 2025 update introduced squiggly strokes. This is great for designers, but how are developers expected to create them on the web? The Dev Mode code output just has a standard border stroke.   

Hi,I'm currently working with a published design system library in Figma (SiteGiant Design System).I noticed an issue where the library dropdown in the variable panel only shows “All Libraries” without listing specific libraries (refer to the first attached screenshot).However, when I duplicate the same library (SiteGiant Design System Copy), the dropdown correctly shows all libraries, including the newly duplicated library (refer to the second attached screenshot).What I Have Tried: Relaunching the Figma app. Restarting the entire system. Testing in both Figma Desktop App and Browser. Problem: I want to resolve the dropdown issue in the original library without needing to re-link all components and variables to the new duplicated library. Re-linking would be time-consuming and error-prone. Question: Has anyone experienced this issue where the library dropdown fails to list individual libraries in the variable panel? Is there a way to resolve this without duplicating the library

I have design file created in Figma containing of our consumer site. Example attached. We have another website that is different but using the same variables seen here. So, I copied them into the new project so both are using the same variables in the properties section in the right for spacing, colors and width etc.If I update something in the main file like a variable color or text size, I will update it in the variables section in the new project file. Am I doing this right?Thanks  

​ I embedded the Figma prototype link into my webpage, displayed as a popup. I also adjusted the size to fill the entire popup. At this point, I expect that clicking the confirm button in the bottom right corner will take me to the next page. However, the tool layer below is blocking it, so clicking the confirm button has no effect.My question is: can the position of the tool below be adjusted?As the picture, this is the figma prototype link embed to the popup. We can see the “Frame ordering and navigation tool”, user can click to next page or click the restart icon.   ​

I would like to format the message text when I create comments using the REST API (POST/v1/files/:file_key/comments)Something like this:curl -X POST -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: figd_xyz' -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/ZXY/comments' -d '{"message":"This s a **bold** comment","client_meta":{"node_id":"1:360","node_offset":{"x":700,"y":10}}}'However, this creates the comment with the literal string in the Figma file and without applying any formatting, the comment will show up in Figma like this:“This s a **bold** comment”How can I create formatted comments using the REST API?I can see that the GET comment endpoint has an as_md parameter to get the comment with the markdown formatting, so I was expecting this to work the other way around too.Is this possible?

You used to be able to read figma comments straight from the email, meaning it was really quick and easy to at a glance see what was going on, and if you needed to jump into the file and join the conversation.Now you don’t get any information except “6 new comments” and have to load the file and hunt for all the new comments manually.It probably made life easier for someone at Figma, or reduced server costs or something, but it’s SUCH a pain as a designer. Please change back 🙏

I’m currently making a Chants of Sennaar prototype for a school project using figma. I’ve come across this issue while making the annotation feature of the journal. When the user submits their text using the arrow button, i update the text variable of the bubble to the user’s text (see attachment). This works fine, however the bubble’s hug auto layout doesn’t seem to pick up the change and therefore doesn’t adapt to the new text’s length.The bubble’s auto layout propertiesIs there any way to fix this ? The text in itself also has the “hug” property and the bubble + text is a variant (if that changes anything).

Hello,I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because one of our important Figma files has suddenly become inaccessible. We're now seeing the message:"This file may have been deleted, moved or made unavailable."This file is essential to our team, and we’re unsure why access was lost. Could you please help us investigate this and let us know if there's a way to recover or restore the file?Here is the file link: https://www.figma.com/board/nvhoDv3tT9BEKIwLVmFJSF/Bit24---Product-Timeline?node-id=3146-2862&t=tlx6kdRsnmbxZ6ku-0  

Hi Figma, A file on my account is unavailable. I keep refreshing and searching but I get the error message that it’s either it’s unavailable or deleted but I only have access to it and it wasn’t deleted.
