 I created a prototype using Figma Make and saved it both as a file with the .make extension and as code in a .zip file. After that, I started a new project, but it didn’t work out, so now I want to return to my previous project. How can I restore my earlier project from these files?I am asking the question here since I was waiting for sale team to call me for over 10 days and they don't bother to contact me. This is first time it my life to meet a company which has great product and miserable sales department. Usually it works in opposite LOL 

Hi everyone,I'm currently taking over a large Figma project from another company, and I’ve run into a major issue with component linking. I’ll try to explain as clearly as possible:The previous team provided me with several Figma files: A working file A library file (which includes the UI kit, components, ...) A color styles file An icon file I uploaded all of these files into my company’s Figma workspace. Then I published the three system files (library, color styles, icons) so they act as design system libraries.After that, I opened the working file and added all three published libraries to it. The problem is: none of the components in the working file are connected to the published library. They appear as external components but not linked. Manually linking works correclty, but this project has over 100+ pages, so manually relinking everything isn’t realistic.My questions are: Am I missing a key step in the import or publishing process? Is there a way to get the working fil

Hello, I am a researcher of laboratory in a university in South Korea.I want to use Figma for research project what i’m participating now.When I clicked GET VERIFIED of educational plan, forms asked me like below : Are you a STUDENT/EDUCATOR/ADMIN? Why do you apply educational plan of figma? What is your school name? What is your main lecture about? Upload your lecture syllabus and urlI couldn’t answer question 1, 4, and 5. So I want to ask if researcher of lab in univ can apply and get free figma education plan.(My University is in list when I clicked question 3) Thank you for reading.

Hey Figma folks, I'm just curious if you guys had had a chance to look at this.  I really really like the application I was able to build out using prompts, but now I can't get it out of Figma. I'm  a back in developer who is learning to use front end tools through your awesome product, and seems like the absolute most important possible capability is not an option. I was genuinely shocked to read that you could not do this and I can't understand why.

Ciao,When you set a frame size (e.g. A4 sheet - 21x29.7cm) and set the resolution to 300dpi, when I go to export the PDF, the file is not the size of an A4... This is absolutely not correct. The file size should always be the same, but with different resolutions.Fix as soon as possible, Thank you.

"How can I fix the issue where pressing the shortcut to increase font size in Figma creates a code block instead?"

I'm using Dev Mode in a paid Figma workspace, and I noticed that "Compare changes" only appears for certain frames or components. Some of them don’t show this option at all.I’ve noticed that it only appears for frames that were edited in the last 7 days — is that true?Are there any official rules or limitations for when the "Compare changes" button shows up?Would appreciate any clarification. Thanks!

Apologies if this is simple or has been asked before but I can’t find a solution. I have a component that needs to have a fixed width but the height can vary depending on the ratio of the image at the top of the component. I need the ability for the image to keep the fixed width but adjust the height in proportion to the files ratio. No matter what I do the image container never seems to adjust and there isn’t a hug option on the image. This means if I select a landscape image instead of pulling all the content up the image frame stays the same size with the image flowing in the middle. Figma – 22 Mar 24

how do I set spacing mode to a frame, I cannot find this setting in the advanced settings section

I work with 2 co-workers, one (like me) focuses on UX Design, the other is in charge of the design system and token files. When doing some file clean up I discovered in the token Figma file, I had 200+ changes to Publish. The other UX designer showed that as well. The coworker in charge of the token files showed no changes to Publish, and nothing to update. We all then checked our version history and they are the same time and date.Any idea what could have caused this or how to fix it? We are using a company account, and I believe we all have the same editing credentials. Not sure what other variables would cause this misalignment in the same file.

Hello everyone.Managing a mobile workforce presents unique challenges, especially in design and development. I'm curious how others are leveraging Figma to streamline collaboration and maintain productivity among remote or mobile teams.Specifically, how are you using Figma's features to facilitate real-time feedback, version control, and seamless handoffs between design and development? Are there any integrations or workflows you've found particularly effective for mobile workforce management within Figma?I'd appreciate any insights or strategies that have worked well for your teams.

Hi all, I’ve had a look but I’ve not been able to find a shortcut for swapping the direction of an autolayout frame between vertical and horizontal? Is there one?

Pretty simple.  They are individual prototype actions, proto actions are triggered sequentially, there’s no reason not to be able to combine them except for the fact that Figma “has decided you can’t do that.”Use case: I have an overlay menu. User clicks to open overlay menu, which has links to overlay views.  User clicks menu option to open overlay, I need to close the original menu overlay and open the new overlay.In a normal world I would just add both prototype actions and put them in the necessary order; close for the menu overlay first, then open overlay for the new panel.  Unfortunately “not possible ace”.This is silly and makes no sense.  Either provide a combined control (if you feel it’s needed) or just let us assign the necessary actions and put them in the order to effectively execute.-rt

Hi Figma team, I’ve noticed a few earlier posts regarding support for the latest version of the Inter typeface have been closed without resolution, so I wanted to reopen the conversation.Currently, Figma supports Inter 3.0, but Inter 4.0 introduces important enhancements—most notably the tabular numbers (tabnums) feature, which is particularly valuable when designing financial software and data-heavy interfaces.Would you be able to share if there are any plans to update the supported version of Inter in Figma? For reference, I’ve reattached the image that compares Inter 3.0 and 4.0, originally provided in a previous post. Appreciate any updates or context you can provide!Thanks so much,  

Hi Figma Support,I was collaborating on a file named "Prisoner App" (link below). I accidentally removed the person who originally owned the file, not realizing they were the owner.Now, the file is no longer visible to either of us — it doesn't appear in Trash, Drafts, or Projects, and we can't access it via the link.Here’s the file link:👉 https://www.figma.com/design/0pkPgS35mEJHzMnhZNWagr/Prisoner-App?node-id=0-1

i didn't give any prompt today in figma make, still it is saying i am out of credit? how? i was trying to do it for 1st time!! 

the prompt for changing the component width, doesn't work in  Figma make, is there any prompt structure, that works?

Hi. I’m prototyping a design. On some step I have to navigate to 3 different pages depending on option user choose above. So I created 3 boolen variables first to imlement it. But when I was creating conditioal logic in prototyping I wasn’t able to use “if” under “else” statement. How can I implement it? 

A container set to horizontal auto layout with wrap, contains several instances of a component called ‘rectangle’.This rectangle component has 2 variants : A ‘default’ variant (a black square) and a ‘hidden’ variant (the same black square with a width and height set to 0px). Upon clicking the default square, the component changes to the ‘hidden’ variant.If you play the prototype, it’s great, upon clicking each ‘rectangle’, they disappear and the remaining instances wrap.But if I create a component from the container, the instances of this component don’t have the same behavior and the instance of ‘rectangle’ don’t wrap anymore.Am I missing something here ?Here’s the Link :  Thanks for your help.The idea is to create a large field with many deletable chips inside.

We’ve identified a bug related to how Figma handles overrides when switching between component variants in different orders.Specifically, when we first apply the variant where the dropdown is open, everything works correctly. But if we start with the dropdown closed variant and then switch to the open one, we run into issues:– The icon sometimes changes incorrectly– Occasionally, the button type also changesThis issue isn’t limited to dropdowns — we’ve seen the same pattern affect many other components in our system.The bug appears to be tied to how Figma manages overrides based on the order of variant switching.We’ve attached a video showing this behavior in action. Please investigate, as this makes it hard to maintain consistency in large design systems.

I started using Figma Make because it popped up and asked me to. I thought I’d build a simple swimlane workflow with minor interactive options to showcase a scenario of a migration from one platform to another. It pretty much nailed the layout at the start, which got me excited. But 4 days later - I want to scream, it’s so frustrating. Subsequent requests to get it to work correctly made it go into a loop of fail that it keeps repeating no matter what. I even linked it to the working version and it still can't get it right. After 100s of versions and a conversation 4 days long, I give up. So much for this portfolio piece I put so much effort into. The AI is just not very bright - at all. 

When creating a connected shape from a shape, the second shape does not appear. It seems that the action cannot be performed, in the video I tried many clicks with only one success.

Hello, We have encountered an issue with a paid plugin in our team workspace.One of our team members cannot see or access a plugin that was purchased for the entire team.We have already tried: Logging out and logging back in. Restarting the Figma app / clearing browser cache. Reinstalling the plugin. Could you please help us resolve this?Thank you!

I leave my Figma files and Figjam boards open over night. Every morning when I come in, it won’t let me write on the Figjam boards until I clear the cache in my browser. Not just the figma cache, but everything! Then I have to log back in again to access my files and continue to edit.  Why is this?

Color override is no longer possible on icon instances at all.I am managing a 1000+ icon library. Each icon is a component with variants for different sizes and regular/fill theme (+bespoke properties for icons that need it). All icons are flattened single shape, fill-rule corrected and all have a single layer named “Shape”. (Everything is set-up exactly like MS Fluent system). This library is published to multiple design files where colors are being overriden depending on states etc. inside their parent components. All of this worked before summer vacation, coming back to work now almost all icon instances have reverted back to the default color variable and I am completely unable to even re-override them with the correct colors again. The color is not editable at all now. Why are the overrides broken?? Why can overrides no longer be applied at all?? This is breaking an entire design system at a very crucial point in time for us, any help is very, very much appreciated. Thanks.
