SOLVED - Preserve Scroll Position (please roll back the feature)

Jun 21, 2024 | forum.figma.com | Nikolas Klein

This has really thrown a big wrench into my workflow, which I have yet to be able to solve even with all of the renaming suggestions. I have built a large scale component library with page templates all using the naming conventions for component categorization (frame name ex. “Popup/Basic CTA”)Ever since this update, when I try to use one of my popup components as an overlay on a page (frame name ex. “Home”), this interaction resets scroll position to the top of the page.
Can't access published variables for prototyping

Apr 29, 2024 | forum.figma.com | Nikolas Klein

I have the same question, is this a bug, known limitation of the beta or intentional behavior? Some sort of acknowlodegment would be appreciated so we can stop pulling our hair out over it. Currently I’m not getting the point/purpose to publish variables in the first place if they can’t be used in prototypes, I suppose they are still useful for styles & colors maybe.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Variants, which lets you combine variations of the same component—simplifying the asset panel and mapping components more closely to code. This feature, along with changes to the Inspect panel and updates to Auto Layout, will enable designers and developers to work more efficiently together. Below, we dive into how we built Variants, including the crucial pieces of feedback our users gave us along the way.

Why Cultivating a Prototyping Culture Will Help You Build Better Products

Dec 8, 2023 | figma.com | Dylan Field |Nikolas Klein |Alia Fite

Prototyping, once an eleventh-hour nice-to-have, has risen to become a critical tool at multiple points in the product development workflow. Picture this: You open Figma with a flash of inspiration or a problem to solve. You start with a blank canvas, creating shapes and manipulating colors, crafting a design you’re eager to share. You ping it to your engineering partner, but as they start building it, they hit a snag. Something isn’t working as expected.
