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.

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. And then Figma write this text “An error occurred while opening the editor”. Whats going on in my files? Thanks for attention, Kate Sidenina, my email: (redacted by the moderator due to PII)

 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?

Hey all, I’m just getting round to investigating the native variable export options and have a question relating to $extensions .How relevant is this information outside of the Figma ecosystem? If I was to export this and add this to my GitHub Repository, should this just be something that I remove, and if so is there a way to exclude this from the export at all?If I understand correctly, that information is possibly only meant for importing into another file, but I just wanted to validate that assumption before hand.Some example code below to illustrate:"green": { "500": { "100A": { "$type": "color", "$value": { "colorSpace": "srgb", "components": [ 0.13333334028720856, 0.5254902243614197, 0.3960784375667572 ],

If we are accessing it from india  so there  should be an payment option to pay via UPI from india 

Hi, I’ve noticed an issue with changing the font family in the variables modal. The font does not update across all pages and components automatically. The font can be changed to the correct family when double clicking on a text box. Cheers, Sanny

I have an enterprise subscription, and I am trying to apply variable modes (already created in the Variables menu) to an object. However, I don’t have an icon for ‘local variables’ in the Appearance palette. My object is selected, but I only have the ‘hide’ and ‘apply blend mode’ icons, plus ‘opacity’ and ‘corner radius’ as the other field options. ...What am I doing wrong?

We are currently not using variable modes, because our developers don’t get a clear enough inspection experience in Dev Mode.I would like to ask all of you 2 things:1. Do you know a solution that makes variable modes more explicit in Dev Mode?2. Can anyone please share how the new extended collections feature looks like when inspecting in Dev Mode? I want to know if it gives the developers a better experience there…Thank you in advance :)

Hi,Figma Make returns:403 ForbiddenRBAC: access deniedI have a Personal Professional plan and full edit access.It seems my account does not have the AI / Make entitlement enabled.Could you please check my RBAC permissions for figmake?Thank you.

Hi Figma community,I'm Kenta Konaka, a product designer/developer based in Japan.I've been using the Claude Code to Figma integration to capture and import designs, but I've noticed that Japanese characters are not rendered correctly.— they either appear as blank spaces, placeholder boxes (tofu), or are completely missing from the captured output.Steps to reproduce1. Use the `generate_figma_design` tool via Claude Code with Figma MCP2. Capture the target design containing Japanese text3. The design is generated into a Figma file4. Japanese characters are not visually rendered in Figma, even though the text data exists in the layersExpected behaviorJapanese text should be captured and displayed correctly, just like Latin characters.Actual behaviorJapanese characters are not visually displayed in the generated Figma f

I’ve noticed uncomfortable lags when I share my screen via MS Teams and present something in Figma Desktop. It feels like fps drops drastically - from 60 to around 15-20. Mouse hover feedbacks with a noticeable delay. These lags I started notice after updating to macOS Sequoia. My setup: Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Pro with 32GB RAM, macOS Sequoia 15.0 External monitor HP Z27 connected via usb-c thunderbolt Figma Desktop 124.4.7 MS Teams for mac Version 24244.507.3125.3475 I started investigating to identify the root cause and so far I figured out the next: The issue is only with Figma Desktop and MS Teams mac app. If I use Figma in browser or MS Teams in browser, everything is smooth. The issue is more noticeable with UI3. When I switch back to previous UI, it works much smoother, however not perfect and smooth as without sharing. When I share the internal Macbook screen the issue is less to not not

I wanted to enhance one image in the project I worked on. I was using a Basic Figma plan. I clicked on it, and saw a few options to enhance it/remove background etc., using AI. It said that these options are only available in Professional plan. When I upgraded, the options to enhance the image are no longer visible. When I click on it, only advanced options to Crop it appear, but none of the functions that I wanted to unblock. I wonder where to find these options after I upgraded to Proessional

Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out if this is a setup issue on my side or a current Figma variables limitation/issue. I am building a design system using a three level token structure:Base tokens → Semantic tokens → Component tokensWhere:Base tokens contain my raw values.Semantic tokens alias the base tokens for global values.Component tokens alias the semantic tokens and is what I used for my design library components.What I expect:When I update a base token, the change should cascade through semantic and component tokens and be visible directly on the components.What is happening instead:When I change a base token, both the semantic tokens AND the component tokens update correctly inside the Variables panel. However, the actual components on the canvas do not visually update. Here is the before: 

In the Figma mac app I have a Make file that will not display changes to a specific page (code file). If I publish and then go view it at the url the changes are there. I also tried viewing the Make file in the browser but it still did not show the changes. If I alter the code in code view and come back the change is there, but the preview still doesn’t show the change.I tried refreshing the tab. Closing the file and reopening it.I tried going to Help > Troubleshooting > Reset Figma and Restart but it did not correct the issue.I also tried manually clearing the cacheQuit the Figma desktop app Open Terminal.app and enter the following command: rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma" Open the desktop app againThe AI in Figma Make was just as confused as I was about the situation 😆Any help solving this so I don’t have to Publish after every change and view it in the br

I’m running into an issue where I cannot open one of our Figma files. When attempting to open it, I receive the following errors:• “Connection error: -106”• “An error occurred while opening the editor”This is happening in both: Chrome (browser version) The Mac desktop app I’ve already tried: Restarting my computer Restarting my router Opening in an incognito window Testing a different browser Fully quitting and reopening the desktop app The issue persists across both the browser and desktop app, which makes me unsure whether this is a network issue or something file-specific.---Edit: this was resolved after I restarted my computer again. Assuming it was a glitch in my internet connection. 

I haven't been able to access any Figma Make files for the last 48 hours, and am completely stuck.I’m getting a generic load error on every single file. Here is what I’ve tried so far: Restarting all devices Checking both the desktop app and web browser (same error on both) Duplicating the files Testing on both simple and heavy files I reached out to support but haven't heard back yet. This is blocking time-sensitive work. Has anyone else run into this or found a workaround?
