When trying to update icons or make changes to specific sections in Figma, selecting an element and sending a prompt to Figma Make AI does not pass the selected element into the prompt. As a result, Figma Make AI does not understand what needs to be changed and the update does not occur.

Hi ​@Manivannan, Celyn from Figma Community Support here. Welcome to the forum 👋

Thanks for laying out the details so clearly and for sharing a screenshot — it’s really helpful!

I understand that when you select an element and send a prompt to Make to update icons or specific sections, the selected element isn’t being passed into the prompt context. As a result, no changes occur.

We’d like to take a closer look to better understand what’s happening on the back end. I’ve created a support ticket on your behalf so our Technical Quality team can investigate further and assist you directly.

Please check the inbox associated with your Figma account for a message related to case #1763448, and reply directly to that email with the following:

Additionally, please share the impacted file with support-share@figma.com and grant “Can View” access. This will not impact your billing and will allow us to reproduce the issue and investigate with Engineering.

Thanks for your patience, we appreciate you working with us as we get this resolved.
