Hi guys,I’m working on a text field as par of my Figma training, and when i add auto-layout to the text “Label” and the line next to it, the line moves and disaligns with the rest of the frame. Can I make those 2 lines align again?I’ve tried the following:1 adding an arrow at the end of the line to see if the line itself would budge,2 moving the auto-layout to aign again,3 mind power.I’m a beginner so i’m sure there’s a solution and i’ve simply not found it.Any advice is welcome.Many Thanks!Alison

Hi all,I have a quite serious topic. In my designs somebody changed an email address to a different one, but it was not my team or somebody who has write access to it, our it was not intentionally, or forgot about it. The problem is that we were not able to detect from the history who did it, this change is displayed every version from the history, but it cannot be true, because we checked maximum circa a one and a half week ago, and then the email address was the original one. and now its changed in every version. What can be the problem? Thanks! 

In a Figma library file, we have an icon set as separate components. The icons are multiple shape objects, i.e. they are not compound paths. All the icons should be monochrome in any state. If we replace one icon(component) with another only parts of the icon will inherit the colours from its replacement. The rest of the icon shapes will pick their colour from the colour applied to the icons as Main Components. Can anyone help with troubleshooting this or confirm that this is a bug?

If I have an object, and want to copy Its interactions properties to another, I have to copy from the Prototype toolbar: Copying from Its line doesn't seem to work anymore: 

Anytime I use a variant with overrides applied the interactive component causes the variant to revert to its default state in the prototype. I may be doing something wrong, but it feels like a bug.

When I have a blend mode applied to a layer or fill, I can’t tell which one I’m currently using. Clicking the blend mode droplet icon again just removes it. The only way I could figure out which one I was already using was by going into dev mode and looking at the generated CSS.

I got the ai in Figma to help me create a document and it’s 11 pages long. It’s got great artwork, design and of course my verbiage. I have no idea how to export this to PDF as a fully illustrated document and it’s driving me crazy. I tried to contact Figma but they told me to come here. Can anyone help if I share the link?

I simply drag and drop a component to inside of another component but didn’t work. I can’t add component as a child element to another component.

I'm unable to publish my plugin due to the following error message: "We detected a change to your account details.

Since last 3 days I have noticed that control z shortcut is not working and its causing a lot of friction in my workflow. I have checked my keyboard and its fine. The shortcut worked in MS word. But its just not working in Figma. Please help.

Hi! I am looking to verify what file(s) the MCP has access to (i.e. can it see a list of all files on my account / in my org, or can it only access the file that is currently open in Figma Desktop?), and whether the MCP can ever make changes to said files, or does it have read-only access?Thanks!

The new glass effect works very nicely in the editor viewport, howeverwhen you present your design in present mode, it looks very pixelatedand some random diagonal black lines appear when you present in full-screenIs it just me or you as well?

Hi,I have created a dropdown component with variables where i select option and it update the text in field.But the problem is that when i am using this component in other file and the option text changed then it is not changing the option text when i am opening the dropdown it is showing the basic value that was set in base component open state.In component i set local variable for label (Variable: SelectOption)For each option in dropdown options i set variable option1, option2 and so on Now in other file i am using that component and create some local variables for select option  and options in list. I detach the variable and assign new local variables. But when i am checking it in “Present” mode it is still showing me Option 1 and Option 2 in list  Really need help here that how can i update the variables in other file to use the same functionality

Hello community, I am looking for any information on how working with branches and merging branches has been for you guys. I am currently working with a file that should serve as a single source of truth for other files. It is a design system file with variables and a hierarchy of namings for the variables. We are considering restructuring some of the variable groups and how the group namings are set up. We might group variables into a functionality structure where components that are usually used for input & controls are grouped together, then components that are for content & display are in another group, then components that are usually for navigation are in another group, feedback & status group, layout & structure group, and then maybe an overlays group. We might also regroup typography variables like fontsize, weight, and family into a nested group structure. Some of our variables have generic semantic names and then some have a more specific component level name.

Hey there! 👋🏼For over a week now, it seems like empty rows from the spreadsheet are being included when assigning properties to template layers. As a result, I’m getting over 1,000 assets created with no content (since the rows have no information).That wasn’t the case a few weeks ago, when I created and tested the templates before sharing them with the rest of the team.I assume this is a bug, but I wanted to ask if you are working on solving this issue? Warm regards, Aleksandra

Some time before in Figma when I did a query on an endpoint:GET curl -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: {token}'  'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/{file_key}' With many others fields the collaborators field was returned in the response where I could get information about the person's email, role and IDBut now I don't see such a field in the responseHas the response body changed over time?And is there an alternative that could be used to get collaborators?

The position controls for a cell seem to disappear when using library components. When I use local file components, they are available. 

I am encountering a CORS error in my Figma plugin. Previously, it was working fine after adding entries in the manifest.json for networkAccess. My current configuration is: "networkAccess": {  "allowedDomains": [    "*"  ],  "devAllowedDomains": [    "*"  ],  "reasoning": "Dev Purpose"}Despite using "*", the plugin has started giving CORS errors recently. Is there any change in how Figma handles networkAccess, or is there something else I need to check to resolve this issue?

Recently, I've noticed the frame selection shortcut no longer works for me, which is very annoying because I use it all the time.I tried across different Figma accounts, across my desktop app and browser, and the result is always the same: the shortcut does not work.I've tried inspecting the keyboard layout and other shortcuts using a combination of these keys work fine; it's just this single shortcut that does not work for me.  

Hi Figma team,I hope you're doing well. I’m currently still a student, and my previous Figma Education Plan has expired after the 2-year period.I’m attaching my updated student ID (or proof of enrollment) here to request renewal of my Education Plan access. I use Figma regularly for academic projects and design courses, and the professional features are essential to my learning.Could you please review and reactivate my Education Plan for the new period?Thank you very much for your help and support! 

Hello everyone I use the Figma Makes project, it's a very cool thing, thanks to the developers, of course, but it put me in a super awkward position, the layout works, that is, in the preview and where everything is ok to code, but when I publish the site, it's just gray.... 

I have a library file with 2 color modes, light and dark, containing the design system for Project A. Now I’m working on Project B, which uses the same styling as Project A—only the colors are different—so I created a new color mode for it.However, I’m running into an issue where the color mode updates aren’t applied correctly to some components—specifically components where I’ve already overridden certain properties in the project file.Here’s a more detailed example:I have a button component with two stateProperties: default and hover. The button also includes an icon inside. After I published and updated the library, the default state reflects the correct color mode. But the hover state—especially the icon inside it—doesn't update correctly.The only way I’ve found to fix it is to manually switch the button state to default, then back to hover. After doing that, the correct color mode applies. But doing this across the whole file would take too much time.Do you guys have any solution

Hi team, I’ve noticed that after the recent Figma update, the usual workflow to copy only the image fill from a shape (like a rectangle) is no longer working as expected. Previously, I could:  Select a rectangle with an image fill Press Cmd/Ctrl+C Select another shape and paste the image directly into the fill  Now, when I copy the shape, it brings over the entire rectangle layer, not just the image fill.

Hi, I created a dashboard landing page in FIGMA's AI and it generated code for me. How can I visually transfer it to my work screen?
