So I’m new to figma, and I’ve been trying to search for a way to do this but haven’t found, and I don’t know if it’s possible.Basically this is within a frame, my homepage frame and I wanted to make the menu change the subject as you click in another theme.So you start in “starters” but when you click on “ramen” it changes to the ramen menu, but all this in the same page. Would this be possible to make? Every video I’ve seen has been showing me how to do it, but it's on different pages.
Please how can i turn a screen to a A4 and PDF in Figma
I am following the Figma beginners tutorial and when I select a group within my design, and attempt to convert it to a frame, some of the material from the group does not seem to render into the frame. In particular, it seems to cut off some of the material from the borders.I’m following the steps outlined in the tutorial - create a group, select the group, use the drop down menu on the right to change “group” to “frame”.
Hi,I've been having a nightmare today trying to access different pages in the Figma Mac app. Some pages load fine, but others simply won't open. I've tried resetting the cache, using the browser version, and even resetting the cache there as well, but the performance issues persist.Is there anything else I can try to resolve this problem?
Case Study Block: I’ve completed Google’s UX courses and some projects on UXcell, but the case studies I’ve built feel very basic and messy. I want to create a proper, polished portfolio but feel stuck, especially when it comes to mastering Figma—things like typography, color coordination, layout, and ensuring everything looks cohesive. This perfectionism is holding me back. Do you have any advice on overcoming this block or ideas for starting fresh? Figma for UX Researchers: How essential is knowing Figma in detail for a UX researcher? Do you think it's necessary to dive deep into its advanced functionalities, or is a more surface-level familiarity enough for day-to-day work? Skills Focus: My academic background is in philosophy (BA) and dramatic literature (MA), so I don’t have a formal foundation in design or graphics. Do you think I should spend more time learning tools like Figma, Miro, Adobe, and AI plugins, or should I focus more on theoretical knowledge like UX psychology, gami
I’m trying to switch the fill color of certain elements that have assigned color variables. Normally you can just click on the applied color variable and it will pull up your library and you can switch it. But when I click on it now it doesn't do anything and I can’t switch it that way anymore. I’ve tried quitting/reopening Figma and the file itself, and restarted my computer, but it hasn’t helped. Was wondering if you could help?

Bug DescriptionI have built a prototype using components and variables. Specifically, the situation involves one component being hidden and another displayed. These components are linked to another library.The Issue:Text within the displayed component is no longer visible, leaving the field blank. (See attached screenshot.) This issue does not occur on Mac, in Chrome browser, or in the Figma app. However, the bug appears on Windows devices, particularly in Edge browser. Additionally, the issue seems to affect external users who are not logged into Figma.Since this is a test file, the issue occurs consistently (100% of the time). Impact and ChallengesThis bug has already consumed significant time and resources. The client is very dissatisfied with Figma’s performance, as similar bugs have occurred in prototypes before, making such issues hard to predict.Request for SupportWhat can I do to resolve this issue without:Detaching all components, or Converting the text fields to static layers
Hi there, I’m trying to copy and paste a frame from a previous version within my file into my existing workspace. The frame is being pasted, but components and layers are showing as empty frames. Any solutions?
I’m making a paid Figma plugin, but I am unable to publish the plugin - I’ve received the below notification:May I know how long the seller status check will take? And how will we be notified that it is completed?
I want to prepare for the expiration date, mitigate the file, project, and so on.
Is there a plugin or an out-of-the-box Figma solution that would allow end users to switch UI design between multiple brand looks (e.g., Brand-A, Brand-B, Brand-C, or more than 50 different brands)?The idea is to maintain one master design in Figma, driven by variables from multiple collections and modes, so it can adapt to each predefined brands. Essentially, I’m looking for a way to let end users toggle between various brands based on a predefined set of collections and modes for each brand.
I’m building a plugin that manages numbered dots on canvas, organized in groups. In the plugin, the user can click a button to add a dot to the canvas. However, on larger files, adding the first or any dot is slow to update the UI in the plugin. So far I’ve done this setup Uses Figma.clientStorage registry instead of page scanning Built with Preact, communicates via messages In-memory caching for groups/dots Issue Creating new elements is fast, but UI updates are delayed: // Fast canvas operations create_first_dot: 220ms add_dot_to_page: 0ms registry_update: 0ms // But slow UI update Message received → +513ms → State update State update → +3948ms → Render scheduled Render scheduled → +559ms → Complete Total: ~5s delay Interestingly, the canvas dot appears instantly (despite the large file size). Furthermore: Registry updates immediately Subsequent UI updates are fast (~15ms) Only first update after creating element is slow Any ideas why there’s such a delay between canvas operatio
Is there a limit to how many people can view a model in presentation view at the same time? I get the limits on viewing a model or project itself but I want to share the link of a demo of the model with a lot of people. I feel like I can’t get a straight answer on this.
Hello everyone, I have downloaded Figma to use in this version of my laptop but it is not opening. Any dialog is popping up saying that Figma is not compatible with this version. When I click the Figma icon in the applications folder to opening, it just stays jumping on the navbar donw the page and never opens. I hope somebody can help please. I don´t is anything related with some system permissions but a dialog to login should come up.
Just updated to the latest version ( 124.3.3). The option to copy text from the inspect mode has disappeared? Where did it go? This has totally slowed down my workflow…
Really frustrating, we’re working with a client on a new homepage and our After Delay animations aren’t starting on opening the link. Only once you hit ‘R’ to restart or refresh the page in the browser do they then begin. We don’t want to ask the client to do this as it looks unprofessional, and we shouldn’t have to as this wasn’t a problem until the recent updates. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.I am working on a project and it is divided into several frames. My problem is that when I try to export it as SVG, Figma responds with: “This file has run out of browser memory. Your work isn’t lost, but you won’t be able to use this file unless memory usage is reduced. In recovery mode, you can access tools and tips to reduce memory usage and continue using the file safely”. After this, I have looked at how much % of memory I am using and I get that I only use 8%, unlike other posts that have a similar error where the % reaches 65% or more. As a result of some testing, if I try to export it as a different file (JPG, PNG or PDF) it gives no problem. Only when I try to export it as SVG. As a last detail, I am using Chrome, on MAC. Best regards and thank you very much in advance.
Hi Figma Community, Our team is facing an issue with our shared design file that’s affecting productivity. The problem occurs when we try to fetch components from our design system or library. Specifically: It takes an unusually long time to load icons and components. The process often gets stuck, forcing us to wait for it to load completely. This isn’t isolated to one person or one file—it’s happening across our team, with everyone working on the same file. The delay is frustrating and wastes a lot of valuable time. We’ve checked our internet connection and ensured our system resources are sufficient, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and I have attached an image for that problem
Normally all my colleague can see distance between two elements with clicking Alt and then hovering over the second element in Windows but I cannot Can anyone tell me why?
We are working on a project where we need to flip icons horizontally using Figma APIs. Specifically, we want to change the orientation of icons from left-to-right to right-to-left for all nodes within a design file. Could you please guide us on how to achieve this using Figma APIs? If there are any specific methods or best practices for implementing this transformation, we would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to your guidance.
How many days I can get the day of my friends are you in the world and the other one is a new year and time to make the day of my friends are you in a very very happy new
i used to be able to just drag and drop a new design on top of the main component and it would change all instances, but now when i try to drag and drop a new design into the main component it just places it over top of the old design. its starting to frustrate me because i think i’ve tried everything… thanks in advance
Hi team I’m unable to upload preview video and the error is not shown even from Figma desktop and web Device: Mac M1 Browser: ARC here my plugin community page https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1454678999204089354/structura-swagger-annotator
I have some questions for the Figma pros: What do I have to think of, befor I start creating the design system? What are the best components to start with, based on atomic design? What are best solution for multi brands? Token or using master components? Working with master components, because Ive got 4 brands, Is it right, that I create the master component, copy the child from this component, change color, font from it and create out of this component a new component for brand? How to add and use a icon font in Figma?
