How can I edit a file created in Make in Figma?

Hi, I’m trying to write a plugin that will create slide decks based off a template and spreadsheet of data.I want to write template slides that use some syntax such as `{{field}}` where anything in `{{}}` is considered the column name and for every row in the table a new slide is created with the placeholder replaced with the value from the spread sheet.I need to have more than one slide that is the template. So I want to be able to name the slides.Having looked around I should be able to rename the frame that represents the slide. However this isn’t possible.I’ve been following these instructions https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039958934-Rename-Layers The problem is the layer view doesn’t show me anything that represents the whole slide. Is it even possible to set the name of a slide?

cmd + shift + enter, what would you expect that to do? what about cmd + enter?imo enter for sibling, tab for child. but up to y’all. rn it just feels unintuitive and a cumbersome

When I export any objects from Figma to PNG, the result files have the same transparent areas as in original objects. But not in PDF - transparent areas always replace with white color areas! Exporting from Figma, you can see the transparent area around the icon: Result (png), transparency saved: Result (pdf) transparency was replaced with white color:

I created variables for weight, font family, and sizes. In our design library, I updated all our font styles with variables. The variables are listed below. The problem is that sometimes, the fonts would show up as “Open Sans Condensed” instead of “Open Sans”. The only way to correct it was to break the link to the style and then reapply it. It broke many components and styles where this library was used. I disconnected all the variables from the font styles and defined them as one would normally. I published the library again. Updated the library within the file and the font on the text was still wrong. The fix is to select the component. Reset changes and then undo. Not sure what I did wrong or why it broke so much stuff. But, I would like to resolve it as we plan on making several different modes for different accessibility needs and this would save us a considerable amount of time. Note: Open Sans is not installed locally. The problem occurs on Mac and PC using Chrome, Firefox, and

Problem:I have Figma Code Connect set up and working in my project (I can see other components like TextField from @pperform/atum are properly connected), but when I query the code connect mapping for a specific Figma component, I get an empty result {}. I’m sure that i already get the right component which have the setting code connect.Setup:Figma Code Connect is configured and working for other components in the projectUsing React/TypeScript frontend with @pperform/atum design systemCan see "Connected" status in Figma for other components (e.g., TextField). Expected Behavior:Should return the code mapping/connection details for the Figma component

We documented our experience using Figma Sites for a complex design system, including performance bottlenecks and real user challenges. Sharing it here for your review: https://medium.com/@Ipekaraoglu/trying-out-figma-sites-what-worked-and-what-didnt-60bf54762a7f

Hey! I am currently experimenting with Code Connect and yesterday while reading I came up to a document that was related to best practices to be followed by designers in order for Code Connect to work at its best, but I am not able to find it today. Could someone help? Thanks!

I have created a file containing components and styles that I would like to re-use in other files, so I published the library. When I include the library in another file, all the components etc. show up, but not the typography or color styyles. What am I missing?

Hi community,My colleague and I suddenly run into this issue. When we select any text elements, including creating a new one, not bounded to any styles or components or variables, the colours won’t show any library files. It only shows 1 colour swatch. See image below. This swatch was created in this file somehow. I cannot even delete or modify it.  The file was working the day before, but suddenly broke. I found this post, but the answer doesn’t address the issue.Does anyone know how to solve this please? Thank you so much in advance. 

When flicking through the deck, I like to be able to maintain a consistent review point between slides. I normally design with a bit of space around each page, so when I’ve zoomed out a bit on one slide, what happens when I flick to the next page is that Figma automatically zooms to fit the page. This makes reviews quite difficult when you’re used to being able to fix the zoom setting in other programs. Fingers crossed this is something that can be amended, any help would be much appreciated! 

In figma Make i ran up to the limit of the AI Chat with claude sonnet 4. i can’t ask it anything anymore. It gives an error. Can i clear all cache on the chat somehow , so i can continue the project? anyone who can help with this?

When I export a frame or component at any scale factor (@2x, @3x, or custom), Figma sometimes adds an extra 1 pixel to both the width and height.For example: A 100×100 frame exported at 3x should result in 300×300, but instead, I get 301×301  or 300x301 or even 301x300. This does not always happen, but when it does, it's consistent across devices and files. Affects both PNG and JPG exports, regardless of pixel grid alignment or stroke presence. 🛠️ Workarounds I’ve Tried (with partial success): Creating a new frame, copying content into it, and exporting again — occasionally works. Manually scaling the frame by the desired factor (e.g., scale by 3x), then exporting at 1x — this consistently avoids the 1px error. However, these are not ideal for batch exporting or asset automation.

Hi! I'm doing some Figma illustrations and need to print them so I'm transferring them over to Illustrator. Is there a way to export the new "texture" feature as vector? I've tried: flattening, outlining the stroke, exporting as SVG/PDF, but nothing's working. Hope someone can help (and apologies if this has already been asked and I missed it) 🙏🏻

Hey everyone,I'm working on a personal UI/UX case study for my portfolio – a redesign of the classic Among Us game interface. I'm running into a really frustrating issue with my component variants that I'm hoping someone can help me solve.**The Setup:**I've created a `Character_Card` component. This component has a property called `Status` with three variants:*   `Status=Crewmate`*   `Status=Ghost`*   `Status=Imposter`Each variant just changes the color of the character and the text label below it. Pretty simple stuff.**The Problem:**No matter which variant I select from the dropdown in the design panel, the instance on my screen is always stuck on the `Imposter` variant. It's like the component has decided it's an **among us always imposter** version. I've checked my layer naming conventions a dozen times and they seem correct (`Status=Crewmate`, etc.).Here's what I've tried:*   Detaching and re-attaching the instance.*   Restarting Figma.*   Checking for any conflicting nested compon

Hello friends,I’ve found that my project came back to 10 days ago and I tried to check the version history but is so strange because between June 18 and June 25, all the versions look the same. I can see changes before and after that period. Can you help how can recover missing changes?Best regards Sahar

Hello!! I have code connect snippets set up within my Figma system and I am attempting to use Cursor to get the code from Figma. When I try to do this, I am receiving this response, stating no Code Connect files exist.Below is a screen shot of my frame and connected snippets. Did anyone else encounter this problem and have any solutions? This was working for the past two weeks so wondering what has changed with MCP or Cursor. 

i want to scroll through my design when in prototype mode but i don’t want the cursor to be visible because it just makes it annoying. anyway to solve this?

1st image is google font page, but in figma ‘&’ is apper in a diffrent way (see 2nd image), earlier it was correct.

When I want to change the font of any text in Figma there is no preview of it’s name in the dropdown selection - only the loading skeleton.The functionality works - the font changes and I can see the name outside of the dropdown but it’s hard to navigate when I use the search bar.I’m using the browser version and I have a paid account. It”s the same no matter if I’m connected to WiFi or LAN cable. Have someone run into that issue?

Not sure if anyone noticed but I feel like Figma Audio Chat has been generally less reliable ever since the switch to UI3. One of the main issues we’ve discovered when working with our developers on Figma is the audio chat disconnecting while we switch between Dev and Design mode. It’s a normal part of our process to make changes in design mode and switch back to developer mode to review things while discussing with our developers. The audio chat module has also been noticeably buggy ever since the switch to UI3 as a mentioned. It would disappear when I’ve joined a session, join button may appear even when I’m already in the audio chat, follow and spotlight feature may appear finicky as well. Since then we’ve switched to calling outside of Figma so it’s not the biggest deal, however it would be nice to have these things fixed so we could seamlessly collaborate without switching to a different platform for audio chats.

I created a Google Sheets file containing images for bulk creation, but when I upload the .xlsx file, the images appear as a text field instead of an image field, preventing me from linking it to the asset. 

When I come back to edit an interaction on a variant, other interactions just magically disappear! They’re gone!!! They are no longer there. Can we please fix this? I can’t be the only one this is happening to, right???

The marker tool in figjam has changed. Unlike other drawing tools, Figjam’s previous marker was very responsive to touch, not rounding or softening pen strokes. But now as I draw, I can physically see my pen stroke changing as I draw. I am precise with my drawing and writing, so this was a let down for me as what I draw is not maintained. Can we turn this off/disable this new feature?
