I have a library full of color and text styles, but for some reason on one specific file they do not appear in the list (empty). However if I select any element it will display the correct style name i.e action blue, H3. So it recognizes the style value to the correct library, but the list will not show it when opened.


Sometimes it just shows one in the list, of whatever is selected (see image)


Things I tried:



  1. Restarted Figma

  2. Checked if the problem is happening with other designers in my org (Its not)

  3. Made sure the library has been activated (it has)


We’re having the same issue the styles in our primary design library are missing in action.


Just restarted and it seems to be fixed now


IT’S BACK LIVE GUYS !!! 🥲


I have this problem now, when I select any object. Cant add any style from Local Styles to this object(


still 😦 it’s awful 😃 I need to work 😃


Fix is complete and styles should be working fully. If you are experiencing issues please refresh. Apologies and thank you all for your patience!


Restarting may be the fix for now.


I experienced issues with Figma yesterday where I could not update components from a library.


Fix for me was to close and restart Chrome.


Hope that may help you too 🙂


Here is what I did:



  • Created 6 or so color styles

  • These color styles are located on a Page devoted to color

  • I have another page for my typography

  • I went to color a piece of type by selecting it and clicking the 4 dots to the right of Fill

  • I should see all my styles listed (as I did yesterday) but today they are not there.

  • I do see them listed on the right hand column of the color page.


Quite confused as to what is ging on.


It’s fixed! Thank you, figma!


it’s fixed. refresh your tabs 🙂


Suddenly… non of my styles are accessible in the right panel, they are published to my library? PLEASE HELP- I have reviewed all online documents and they won’t appear! YEs, the library is being used by this file. But they aren’t appearing in the search or in the list view.


Restart Figma on your desktop. It’s fixed for me now!


It’s fixed. Restart your desktop app or refresh browser.


@hernan_lozano Were you able to figure out a solution? I am also unable to access the color styles. I have already restarted Figma, but the issue still persists.


I have been using a library for my local styles for a while and it suddenly stopped working. Not only is the library local styles not being imported properly(even if every other component is), but I’m unable to use local styles in any other file and in any other shape or form. This problem is only happening to me and not affecting others in my team and seems to be affecting multiple browsers and instances, probably related to my account.

I would like to know if there’s a fix to this or a procedure that I should follow.


It’s fixed! As a this moment. I’m able to see color and text styles.


It was fixed and now it’s not working again 😢


No color or text styles are available in my dropdowns.

If you check for updates you’ll be able to reload all your pages and the style should show up.



Some type of Bug is happening. I have my library published and working correctly. Could access all the styles from the right side pannel but suddenly (I am not sure if due to some surtcut or bug) I can’t access my styles. I still can access components and see the styles from the Library team, but I can’t access it. Funny thing though, from the browser, I can access the styles from the right side menu. What could I have done to disable the styles from my side panel in the app?

I have a video, but it’s not allowing me to upload.



Super. Works for me!


It’s working for me now. Figma Status on this issue also says it’s fixed.


It’s still not fixed… tried restarting and everything, using a Mac, both desktop app and safari. tried clearing cache, still not fixed


I’m having the same issue.


I’m having the same issue! Still not fixed! Please, Please do not say that it’s been fixed when its still not working for a number of users!! I’ve tried restarting and clearing everything, and viewing from other browsers does not work!


Even more - when I copy and paste the entire design file into a new file, it doesnt copy any of the styles either!
