It was brought up a while ago, but, I think it still makes sense for new frames to have Auto Layout enabled by default. Without it, the development paradigm is “everything is `position: absolute`” and pulled out of document flow. Yes, native (iOS, Android) paradigms approach layout by adding flow but I think Figma is far and away used more for web design.
Hello there! I am new to coding, figma make, and github. I have a prototype designed in Figma Make. I am wondering if anyone can help me save my work to github? Starting from having a published prototype to commit work to GitHub. Here’s what I’ve done so far. 1. Created a New GitHub repository for my prototype I created in Figma Make2. Published my Figma Make prototype3. Downloaded the code to a folder on my local computer I appreciate any help! This is all very exciting stuff.
Hi, The Auto Layout settings section has disappeared from the right-hand panel in the desktop version of the app. I’ve thoroughly checked the entire panel, and the Auto Layout section is definitely missing. I then opened the web version, and everything is there — the section appears as usual. So technically, Auto Layout is working: the text inside behaves as expected, and I see the notification that Auto Layout was created. But the controls for it are missing from the right panel in the desktop version. Could you please help? Thanks in advance!
As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least one of them). So I have to m
So, in principle, if an instance is inside of another component, changing the variant causes the text to reset back to the text of the master component. This also happens with other properties of the instance, e.g. if you set some booleans up they will be reset to how they were set in the master component once the variant is changed via variable. Here’s a screenshot of what I mean: and here’s the link to the file to mess around with. (So, this issue might be similar (or even basically the same) as discussed here: Change to on instance not keeping text change but frankly I haven’t had the patience to look into OPs setup 😅 I tried to break the issue down to the most bare-bones that I could in the file I provided (also to see if the issue has anything to do with my components or just is a bug) If anyone has found a workaround do let me know 🙏 (and yes, I do need the instance within another instance; it’s a button inside a form layout that I want to reuse (and many other such cases).
My Figma site is no longer loading. I’ve got this error message.
hi, I have simple website with overlay that apears after clicking “Menu”. When in prototype mode, I can not scroll the page verticaly. When I am using page and overlay separete, they both work fine - I can scroll the website. What can be the reason I can not do simple scroll?
I’m trying to switch a variant of component instance by switching variable mode. This works perfect once the component A is on top level and not nested. But if I nest component A into component B and then change the variable, the instance of component A still changes the variant as supposed but this also resets all other other properties of comp A to their defaults. This doesn’t happen when comp A is not nested. Tried with several components even with the simplest created from scratch. This topic doesn’t relate to prototypes and interactivity.
I’ve been using figma.fileKey in an internal Figma plugin to get the file’s latest contributor, and it had been working fine until today. Now I’m getting the following error: Unhandled promise rejection: Error: figma.fileKey is undefined. Ensure you’re in the plugin main thread on API v1.0.0+ Just wanted to check—was there a recent update to the Figma APIs that may have affected this behavior? I’m running this from the main thread, so this change seems unexpected. Appreciate any insight you can provide! Thank you for the help
I am no longer able to access I file I created. I have the URL but I simply get a ‘request access’ screen and when requesting access I get no email. I’ve tried with all Figma accounts I have access to, but none of them has access. I can provide the URL of the file if necessary.
I have a notice on my Figma design desktop that says I must update to the lates version by Augus 13 (2025). I am in a corporate environment and my machine is locked down I need to put a request into IT for them to update the Version that have in thier software centre. I want to ensure they update to the lates version what is it? PS when you click the Release notes item on the file menu it takes you to https://releases.figma.com/ But the link displays 404 error This releases.figma.com page can’t be found No webpage was found for the web address: https://releases.figma.com/
Ho Can I create half rays in a circle?
Output: Layer properties: Please help me resolve this issue… Is this bug in figma?
Am I the only one not being able to collapse a selected layer or parent when the layers panel is scrolled down, having this item sticky? Hovering over the sticky layer shows the chevron to collapse (screenshot 1), but nothing happens on click. I need to scroll up until it’s not sticky anymore in order to have the chevron working on click (screenshot 2). Would be great to have this simple issue fixed!
