Can you filter by Unread in iOS mobile app?

Maybe this is a feature request but whenever I see Unread (X) at the top I keep tapping it thinking it’ll filter to just unread comments. 😀 I don’t need search or any advanced filtering. The use case is that when I’m on the go and see a reply to comment, I sometimes have to scroll down to try and find it. In other cases, I’ll miss reading an older comment for some reason and then try to find it later on mobile. Alternatively, if you just put all the unreads at the top, then I don’t even need a button. Thanks for reading!

Zoom Screen Sharing + Large Figma File = Crashes My MBP

Hi folks, I have experienced this several times when hosting a Zoom meeting and doing a Screen Sharing. Sometimes, when I opened a large Figma file in Chrome suddenly my Mac crashed. The monitor went black, and I had to force quit my MacBook Pro (Sonoma). Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Multi-Action; "Change to" & "Navigate to" not working together - Prototyping

Hi all, I’m trying to have a multi-action within my prototype where once someone selects an option within my dropdown, (setup as “saved reports=Expanded” - and is the 2nd of 3 variants) two things happen: Change to (From “Saved reports=Expanded” → “Saved reports=Selected”) Navigate to (“example-frame-1”) The first action works as expected, but when it comes to the navigating to the new frame, Figma just doesn’t do it. The option to select “Navigate to” is there so I’m assuming this is either a bug, or I need to select something that I’m not seeing. (see attached screenshot of Interactions) Can someone please help? Thanks, Mike

Selling plugins on community - how long does it take to get approval from the waitlist?

Hi! I’ve recently created a plugin and want to add a paid plan to it. I’ve read this and joined the waitlist, but I haven’t heard anything from Figma yet :') If there’s someone in this community who’ve got the approval, how long did it take for you to hear back from Figma? And if I’m not hearing back for about 2 weeks, should I take it as ‘not approved’ and find other ways to add a payment? Looking forward to finding someone to help me with this! Thanks in advance.

Weird shadow behind M3 button

I’m making variants of the buttons in the M3 design kit. I’m making a ‘rounded’ shape variant, but the shadow seems to follow the default circular variant. What’s odd is, it doesn’t do this when I made a rectangular button variant. Any idea what can be happening?

Best architecture for a multi user-type large prototype?

Hi guys! I’m currently working on a large prototype for a client, which will later be used as a supporting element in the development. It’s a large project management platform, which supports four main usertypes, all with different permissions. At this point, i’ve made a general flow, which is basically the most advanced usertype. I’m now looking to create a seperate flow for each of the usertypes to visibly show both client and dev team how each role’s experience and permissions will be. I’ve currently explored creating each flow in the same page of the same doc, but this creates issues with the proto-linking, as most elements are components linked generically. Also makes the project very large to load. Have also thought about moving each flow into a page of it’s own. Do you have any good ideas of how to achieve this?

FigJam/Figma: Connector ends don’t remember their direction when placed freely on images/groups/objects

Sometimes you want a connector to start at a specific place on an image, object, or group/frame. But connectors don’t remember which direction the ends are pointing to/from when you move the objects around. This makes diagrams and connectors really messy, and sometimes even when I don’t move things, I just load up a Figma design/FigJam and it’s jumbled up again because it isn’t connected to a ‘side’ of a top-level element.

Prototyping with a fixed iOS status bar

I am building a hi-fi iOS prototype in Figma. Trying to keep things as real as possible. Using the bezels to demo on desktop, for recording video. Important to be as real as feasible, as the people viewing would be used to seeing hi-fi iOS demos. So, I am desperately wanting to stop the status bar from pushing in on animated transitions and causing the effect seen in the movie below. But I also don’t want to remove the status bar and put it back in post (too lazy and then I can’t demo live), nor do tons of wacky magic animation or custom transitions to pull this off (seems like not worth the pain), nor stick to instant transitions (definitely will look fake). My question: Has anyone figured out how to pull this off in an easy way? Keeping the status bar always fixed when using out-of-the-box prototyping transitions.

Is there a way to keep components local to a page when duplicating?

tl;dr I’m looking for a way to duplicate a page that duplicates its main components as new main components instead of instances of the originals. Ok here’s what I mean: On Page 1 I create a few frames: Card 1 (main component) Header 1 (main component) Frame 1 using Card 1 and Header 1 instances Currently when I duplicate Page 1, Page 2 has the following frames: Card 1 (instance) Header 1 (instance) Frame 1 using a Card 1 and Header 1 instances What I would really love to do in this situation is duplicate the page and play with different iterations of the Card and Header components, with Frame 1 reacting accordingly. It would look like this: Card 2 (main) Header 2 (main) Frame 2 using a Card 2 and Header 2 instances Currently if I want to do that, the workflow would be: Detach Card 1 from main and make it a component Card 2 Detach Header 1 from main and make it a component Header 2 Swap all Card 1 instances in Frame 1 with Card 2 instances Swap all Header 1 instances in Fram

My prototype is not rendering exactly as my design is shown

My design does not match what I see in the screen of the prototype. Something keeps going wrong but can’t find what. It seems like he is mixing up the properties of the buttons when displaying in the prototype. Different sizes or colors are then shown. Is this a bug? Does this look familiar to anyone?

Bug setting reaction on mouse_enter not updating the trigger value

Hi I am developing a plugin for Figma to convert whole design to website. As I was doing the final tests I noticed that when the reaction’s trigger is on mouse_enter, the trigger property of the reaction object is set to an empty object. You can check this by opening the console and create 2 rectangles with reaction set on mouse_enter and then type in console Figma.currentPage.selection[0].reactions[0].trigger and it shows empty object. Try to change it different trigger then every thing is ok. This bug is only happening on mouse_enter and mouse_leave Other triggers working as expected so I think it is a bug When I show(run) this in Figma it working correctly. if you know how Figma fetches this trigger, let me know please

Detach Property bug or intended effect?

Hi all, See video below. Basically, detaching a Text property on a component resets all instances to the default Text value, losing what’s been set. I don’t understand why this would make sense but maybe I’m missing something?

Downgrading organization to professional

What is the process for downgrading a team from org to professional? I know that you lose unlimited teams so we’ve proactively consolidated all of our projects and files into a single team. Are there other things we need to look out for? Also, it seems like this isn’t self service. I sent a request to support but I’m not sure what the turnaround time on that looks like. We only have two days until our renewal date…

Memory Size Insanity

I don’t really know what to call this, but I have been making some really concerning observations regarding memory size. So, there I was working on a project, when suddenly I am told I’m running low on memory? Strange I thought, cause this project was not really that big. So I decided to mess around and suddenly made some extremely concerning observations. If I grouped up multiple polygons/parts then file/memory size would shoot up by 2-3% but NOT go back down if I ungrouped or CTRL + Z the action. If I deleted every single board and frame, leaving me with a completely blank project, then I would have 39% memory size still, after that fact. Viewing different version histories would also randomly shoot up my memory size. Is this addressed anywhere? It seems extremely non-sensical. If there is some cache that is getting bloated, then why is there no feature to flush it?

Design Figma Community

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew of a forum where you could speak with other designers using Figma for feedback on design choices, colours fonts etc. Figma is great but would love to hear back from seniors who could give hints and tips on what you have created.

Are webhooks not working for anyone besides the PING/FILE_DELETE event?

All the sudden today around mid day, all our FILE_COMMENT & FILE_UPDATE events don’t get sent to our callback URL. I verified the WH endpoint and everything works as we receive the FILE_DELETE and PING events every time. I know you guys are short staffed per the responses from people who work at Figma, and I would be willing to work on this for free (reach out if you need). I’ve been using/building WH sending services for years. This is a crucial part of our business.
