Hi everyone,


I hope someone can help me with this.


I am experiencing some troubles with Figma today.


My main problem is that I tried to change a component back to a frame using the option, command + B shortcut, but nothing happened.


Does someone know why this occurred?


In general, I have the impression that the way how components work has changed.

I tried to copy a main components into a new file and it created a new component. That was different before. Before I had a replicant of that main component.


I am a bit confused, tbh.


Could somebody clarify what happend since the last update and how to work with components now? 🙈

Command-B has never worked this way actually. It has never worked on masters - only on instances. So you may create an instance, detach it and delete the master.

Hello, to convert an existing component into a frame and open it, you can right click on the component and use the shortcut “Detance Instance” or option-command-B on mac, alt-control-B on pc.


I hope it will be useful.
