Hi, I want to duplicate a file but doing so doesn’t duplicate version history. A newly duplicated file has no history at all. Is there any way to export version history or make it duplicate as well along with the file?If Figma doesn’t provide such a functionality is there any plugin you can recommend? I have a quite big files with around 500 versions and “Figma Comments & Version History Exporter” plugin seems to support only small files (around 200 versions looks to be the limit). Cheers

I submitted my plugin for review on March 8th, and as of today (March 27th) I still haven't received any feedback from the Figma team. No approval, rejection, or requests for changes.That's over 20 days of waiting, while the submission form indicated a turnaround of 5-10 business days.Could anyone share how long the review process is currently taking? Is this wait time normal right now, or should I follow up somewhere specific?

Hi Figma Team and CommunityI would like to inquire about the review status of my plugin（FontConversion）, which was submitted for review on March 20, 2026.It has been almost a month (approx. 20 business days) and the status is still showing as "In Review." I haven't received any emails regarding rejections or requests for changes yet.I understand there might be a high volume of submissions lately, but I wanted to make sure my submission didn't fall through the cracks, as the typical timeline is 5–10 business days.

Hello, I have been invited to a connected project (it is listed as active in the administration) but I cannot find how to access it. How am I supposed to access this project?

I’m trying to share a Figma Make prototype for user testing. It needs to be available for anyone to view and the full screen version without the prompt on left side.I’ve tried multiple versions and tested within Google Incognito to confirm it will work for any user and so far three things have happened:Login required page displayed Loading screen displayed but never generates prototype Error displayed saying “live preview not available.”Two processes I’ve already tried:Click the play button (which generates full screen version) > click “share” > adjust access to “anyone can view” > click “copy link” Click the play button (which generates full screen version) > click “share” > adjust access to “anyone can view” > copy link directly from address bar. Anyone have a fix for this? 

I’ve submitted my plugin and it seems to be taking longer than expected.I’m trying to get a sense of the average time it takes to get approved.Would appreciate any recent experiences. Thanks.

Hi everyone,I submitted my first Figma plugin for review on March 6th, and its status is still showing as "Under Review." I know Figma generally suggests a 5–10 business day window, but I wanted to check with the developer community here to see if anyone else is experiencing longer-than-usual wait times recently?A few details about the submission: Submission Date: March 6, 2026 Plugin Link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1611736909703003655/magic-cards I’ve double-checked my email and spam folder to ensure I haven’t missed any clarification requests from the review team, but I haven't received anything yet.Does the review team usually reach out if there’s a delay, or

I submitted a public OAuth app for review over two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back yet. Just to clarify, this is not a plugin, it's a standalone app using Figma OAuth with the REST API.The wait is starting to affect our deployment timeline. The submission page mentions 5-10 business days, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something on my end or if wait times are just longer than usual right now.Thanks!

Our team is noticing that our main design system library is having hundreds of changes flagged in the publishing panel, even after a weekend of not working on the library. The panel shows what’s modified, removed, or added, but isn’t clear what the changes are or what caused them. It’s scary publishing these types of updates because they aren’t coming from our team. Is this something being caused by Figma? How can we feel comfortable publishing so many changes when we weren’t even the ones making them? 

I have many components in my design system and I don’t want to have to manually create template files for all of them. Is there a way for code connect to scan my design system and create skeleton files or rough drafts? 

Hi everyone - hoping someone can help or confirm whether this is expected behaviour.I have a parent component with children (radio option, list item) all set to Fill for horizontal resizing. The parent frame uses auto-layout.What I expect: When I insert an instance from the Assets panel into a frame set to auto-layout, the instance should fill the container — matching the resizing properties I set in the parent component.What actually happens: Instances inserted from the Assets panel come in at a fixed width. I have to manually set each one to "Fill container" every time.                                                                                        The confusing part: If I drag the same component directly from the canvas into the frame, it does fill correctly. So  the behaviour exists — it just doesn't carry over when inserting from Assets.My questio

I accidentally purchased a full seat on an educational team. This is a team for my school that should remain educational. However, it is now a pro account and I am the only person with a seat. I need to switch back to an educational account ASAP as there are hundreds of profiles that are now view only. How do I do this?

Hello,I would like to learn how to make email templates and use mailchimp to transfer my design. 

Hi everyone,I’m currently building a design system in Figma that is intended to work well with Code Connect, and I have a question regarding icon architecture.When I use a single icon set with variants, I can map everything under one Code Connect connection — which is great.However, selecting icons inside components becomes very difficult and impractical (huge dropdown).I’m considering switching to separate icon components (e.g. icon/add, icon/close) and using them via instance swap.👉 My questions:• Can multiple icon components be grouped under a single Code Connect mapping?• Or would each icon requir

Hi folks! I used some components from other files in my project, and even though I removed them, I still see some Variables available in the “Page → Modes”. They are not available anywhere else. It doesn’t affect the project; when I select one, change the page, and then return to it, that mode is selected. I checked my file, and nothing leads to the other file anymore – no styles, variables, components, etc. It seems like a bug, and I see some variables pulled from another file, but can I remove it somehow?

I am working on a project built with Next.js and TypeScript and I currently only have the implemented UI (react components, CSS/Tailwind). I need to convert this existing UI into a Figma design file automatically (or semi-automatically), including layout, styles, and components if possible.I understand that Figma is usually used before development, but in this case, the design was not created beforehand.I've looked into some tools (like HTML-to-Figma plugins), but they either don't support React well or lose styling/layout accuracy.Is there any reliable tool, plugin, or workflow that supports converting Next.js (TypeScript) code into Figma designs?Even partial solutions (like exporting layout or styles) would be helpful.

Hi everyone,I wanted to check if anyone has experienced a similar situation with plugin review timelines.I submitted my plugin (IconNova) on March 27, and it has now been in review for over 3 weeks.Details:- No backend- No network access- All processing is local inside Figma- Data security disclosure completed (shows “follows Figma’s security best practices”)- No warnings or issues shown (status is only “In review”)I did publish a couple of minor updates (rename + description changes), with the last update on April 5, but nothing affecting functionality.From what I understand:- Typical review time is 5–10 business days- Even with re-review, this timeline seems longer than expectedSo I’m trying to understand:- Is this kind of delay normal recently?- Could this be related to queue backlog?- Or is there something else I might be missing?Would really appreciate any insights from

Hello everyone,I'm facing a significant workflow issue when exporting from Figma to React, and I'm hoping the community can help me find a solution.Current Situation:My Figma file uses Untitled UI design system with properly configured variables (colors, spacing, typography, border radius, etc.) I've verified the variables are correctly set up: Colors/Brand/500, spacing-md, Text md/Semibold, radius-lg, etc. When I export/generate code from Figma, I get React code with custom Tailwind classes instead of Untitled UI componentsThe Problem (with real examples):What Figma exports:  jsx// Button<div className="shadow-[0px_0px_0px_1px_rgba(10,_13,_18,_0.18)_inset] rounded-num-8 bg-brown border-gray-400 border-solid border-[2px] overflow-hidden flex items-c

Y’all, how can I connect Stripe, so my desktop app made with Figma Make can collect payment? Is it even possible? I have wasted an entire month of credits prompting, time watching videos, and even more time on Code Mentoring sites looking for help to try to figure out how to get this app to accept a payment. I dont want to leave Figma, but I fear this is my only recourse, if I want to collect payment for this app. I am sure, I am missing something but I cannot figure out what/

Hello,I am trying to create variables in my design file but they aren’t appearing where they traditionally have been. I have usually found them in between the Page and Styles sections on the right side bar. I am on a paid plan. Can anyone help me figure this out? Thank you.

Hi,Submitted a plugin for review on April 7th, it's now the 15th and I've heard no feedback or update.The last submission took about 1 day and it was rejected (understandable as it was a test submission). I'm reaching out as I'm not quite confident on what the actual waiting period is, as there seem to be different periods. Is there a system for this like status tracking, estimated queue times, anything? Even something as simple as "reviews are currently taking X days" on the submission page would help a lot. Are we the only ones experiencing this? For further context, resource ID: 1603862402776369499 Any clarity would be appreciated.

We have a good amount of users, but I am looking to only turn on PAYG access to select users once they are approaching limit or hit limit. This allows a workflow to learn the justification before giving that user access. Right now it looks like I have to individually turn everyone off, not to mention that a newly added user has it on by default (should be off by default). Am I missing something?
