Hey there 👋My company is currently using Figma for content creation, and we were really excited to see that we could finally export videos directly from Figma Buzz.The problem is… exports seem to work randomly. Sometimes the file exports without an issue, but most of the time we end up waiting endlessly for the export to process, and nothing happens.It feels like we might not be the only ones experiencing this. Has anyone else run into the same issue? And is there a workaround or solution that the Figma team could share with us?Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

When I’m zoomed into a frame (some of the frame is off screen) and I paste to replace (one frame or multiple frames across the canvas), my viewport shifts awkwardly and aligns to the bottom of the same frame (or another frame? I’m not even sure). It’s quite disorienting and forces me to navigate back to where I was. This seems unintentional and I’d recommend not moving the viewport at all.Thank you!

Hi,I was trying to use variables to change the hover color of a button, but the problem is I can select the color of the base button using the tokens, the change to field only allows for hex colors; I can’t point to the hover token.It works for a single mode, light or dark, because I can just put the hover hex color, but that’s not great when using light and dark.  

I’ve tried several of the remedies suggested in a previous post. But it seems like a compatibility issue between the desktop app and the updated display drivers.

Hello everyone, what cool plugins can you recommend for creating mockups? I would appreciate the advice.  

I’ve noticed a thumbnail issue that occurs depending on the background color of the thumbnail and whether you use Light Mode or Dark Mode.The border radius on the Thumbnail looks jagged if you have a light color thumbnail bg in Dark Mode or a dark color thumbnail in Light Mode. (zoom in on the image attached)Looking into it through the web browser I found the reason to be that the border color is a solid color.One simple fix to solve the issue would be to make the border color on Thumbnail containers a low opacity color.In the attached image I changed the border colors to be 20% opacity black and white depending on Light/Dark Mode and you can see the jagged issue is gone and the border radii are smooth.Is this a big problem? No, of course not. But it would be an easy fix.Thank you Figma!  

This just started today. After any prompt I make in apparently any existing Figma Make file I have, I’m getting a “something went wrong error”.After the prompt, the system does the work. But as it is working and describing what it is doing, after maybe 20 seconds, I get the error message.This happens both in the browser and in the desktop app.I’m using a Mac, and I’ve gone through the troubleshooting checklist. 

I registered my user in educational figma, but even after confirmation my user is not as educational but on the free plan, how can I solve this? 

Hello,I’m working on a UI kit, and recently I noticed that a purple rectangle — similar to the one used for a component — appears on all my pages. It’s present everywhere, even on newly created pages, and it’s immovable and unselectable. When I hide another component on the same page, the rectangle disappears for about two seconds and then comes back.This is quite annoying, and I don’t know how to fix the issue. I’ve already checked several forums and your documentation but haven’t been able to find a solution.I hope you’ll be able to help me out! 

Hey everyone,I’m really surprised this issue still exists after all these years. We’re paying for Figma and using it professionally, but the problem has been there for almost 2 years now!Whenever I change the color of a swapped instance in the main component, the color doesn’t update in the other instances.For example, when I swap an icon instance inside a component, it doesn’t inherit the color of the original icon that was in the main component — I have to manually change each color one by one, which is really time-consuming.I’ve uploaded my Figma file so you can take a look and see what I mean.Please fix this — it’s been a long time and it really affects our workflow.Thank you.

Hi,The Auto Layout settings section has disappeared from the right-hand panel in the desktop version of the app.I’ve thoroughly checked the entire panel, and the Auto Layout section is definitely missing.I then opened the web version, and everything is there — the section appears as usual.So technically, Auto Layout is working: the text inside behaves as expected, and I see the notification that Auto Layout was created. But the controls for it are missing from the right panel in the desktop version.Could you please help?Thanks in advance!

I am being charged for an additional full seat, however I cannot assign it to anyone without being charged an additional 20 dollars. In simple words—I have 1 extra full seat which I cannot assign to anyone. The chatbot is of no help. Very frustrating.

I am getting a message that says “Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show.” There is also a little icon next to the mode name in all of my files when selecting a palette mode. We use a single design system file that has all of our variables and the other palettes don’t seem to have the same problem. The error message is not very helpful and I have cleaned up all of the files and resolved everything I can find but this message never goes away. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? I have included a couple of images as an example of what I am seeing.

Hi everyone,I’ve noticed that Figma released their AI features over a year ago, and I was able to use them previously in my company’s Figma account. However, I’m not able to access these AI features on my personal account.Since the features are no longer in beta, I’m unsure why they aren’t available to me. Could this be related to account type, plan restrictions, or region availability? Has anyone else faced a similar issue, and is there any way to enable AI features on my account?Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I have a design system Figma file with styles and components which are shared to another file.I created new styles and components in the Design System file and published the changes (I could see them in the list of updates).These new styles and components are not updating in my second file. I’ve read and tried all the community suggestions and nothing fixes the issue.Please help!  The whole purpose of shared [published] styles is for them to sync and auto-update in all associated douments

I just had a call with my dev where we realized he couldn’t see a style effect (shadow) I had added to an element, being in dev mode. It shows a filter. He had to go to design mode to see the style.We don’t get why, the whole point of dev mode is to communicate these things?Now we’re worried about how many times other devs with only dev mode might have missed styles, only seeing the raw values.Seems to be be connected with this, from 2024?By the way the number of “related topics” with all kinds of styles/tokens/variables not showing in dev mode is also worrying. 

I’m facing an issue with my published design system in Figma and would appreciate any help or insights.I’ve created a separate design system file that includes components and variables, and it has been published successfully. I’ve linked this published library to other Figma files, but the colors from the design system are not appearing correctly in the list or grid view within those files.Here’s what I’ve already tried based on suggestions:Re-publishing the design system file Re-linking the library in the affected files Checking for naming conflicts or duplicate styles Ensuring all styles are properly defined and published Clearing Figma cache and restarting the appDespite these efforts, the issue persists. If the published color variables don’t show up properly, it defeats the purpose of having a centralized system.Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance.

So I just updated my Figma recently. Now I can’t seem to find the auto align feature of an auto aligned element, for example, this text has auto-layout enabled but I need to manually tweak the padding of the frame in order for the text to be aligned fix to the left. Does anybody here encountered the same situation? I appreciate your feedback. Thanks

After transferring files from another account and confirming ownership, the files have been deleted. on 4th Oct. Please can the files be recovered from the account and restored to the new account.This is very important to my work. This is the file I need to recover or alternatively recover the account that was deleted. I understand that Figma accounts are recoverable up to 30 days and this happened just 1 hour ago. https://www.figma.com/design/oVxl8R4RBUM5e1mwKCy0gy/toasti.?node-id=1965-2&p=f&t=9S7iO0HI31RcDNwM-0Please any assistance and help in file or account recovery would be greatly appriciated. Thank you

The installer suddenly stopped working for the browser. I have already tried uninstalling and installing the latest version (125.8.8), but the issue persists.

Hey everyone!Our team has built a multi-brand design system that supports three different brand themes, each with both light and dark modes.All our icons are created as unions. This helps preserve the color override when an icon is swapped inside a component. For example: all icons use the “icon” color variable by default, but within a success inline message component, the icon is overridden with the “icon-success” color variable (green), as the icon should always be green in that context. Swapping, say, a checkmark icon with “icon-success” applied for a shield icon retains the correct “icon-success” variable. So far, so good.However, when we re-theme the inline message component from Brand 1 to Brand 2, the icon switches to a different brand-specific variant from the icon component set. Here’s where things break: in component instances, the color override (“icon-success”) is lost during this brand switch, and the icon falls back to the default “icon” color variable — which in our case

Since Figma Make became publicly available, I’ve noticed a significant drop in performance and overall intelligence. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I no longer see the “Claude Sonnet 4” label next to the prompt area. Everything I try now leads to poor results. Just yesterday, during the beta phase, the AI was much more capable and consistently delivered great outcomes. Today, I’m stuck for hours on simple tasks that were handled effortlessly before.Anyone noticing the same?
