Hi Figma Support,
I’m having an issue with the CMS in a Figma Sites project. I have a verified student account and I am working on a Figma Sites assignment.
I created a CMS collection called “Recipes”, but I am unable to edit or add CMS items.
The issue is:
- I have edit access to the Figma Sites file and can make normal edits to the canvas.
- The left sidebar shows both CMS → Edit and CMS → Connect.
- The Recipes collection appears normally.
- However, when I open the Recipes collection, it only shows the CMS table in View only mode.
- The Edit option/tab is completely missing.
- I therefore cannot add new recipe items or edit the existing CMS fields.
I have already checked this with my instructor, who also looked at the file and advised me to contact Figma Support.
I also contacted the Figma support AI, and it suggested that because I can edit the canvas and the CMS sidebar contains both Edit and Connect, this may be a CMS-specific issue rather than a basic file permission issue.
Could someone please help me determine why my CMS collection is stuck in View only and why the Edit tab is missing?
I have attached a screenshot showing the current CMS interface.
I would really appreciate some help with this, as I need the CMS functionality for my university assignment.
I have my submission in 2 days, It would be great help if you can solve this as soon as possible
Thank you!
