Having spent 4 weeks developing a website. I asked Figma to improve SEO etc. The coding Figma wrote was incorrect and disrupted the whole website. I was asked to restore an earlier version, which I did from just before the SEO coding, and this deleted the whole conversation and the file. I have raised a ticket and granted Figma access but I am still awaiting a response. I am hoping that Figma has retained a copy of the file somewhere. In the meantime all Figma wants me to do is start again. I’ve used around 15000 - 20000 credits to get this far and it is all gone!

I am still waiting for an update despite being issued a ticket 4 days ago! I am reluctant to restart my project in the ever dimishing hope that Figma has retained a copy of the files that it deleted. Not only that, if this cannot be resolved soon and I get refunded for the credits used (assuming there is no saved file) I will not use Figma to build a website. The fact Figma was at fault here and lost the files gave me a misguided confidence that this would be dealt with in a timely manner by support, however, it seems Figma is another Company we have to pay upfront and if we require anything other than AI everyone is hidden behind a wall of chatbots and endless waits for solutions to a problem.
