Hello 👋
One of my projects keeps showing this You have unsaved changes dialogue (As if I were offline).
I can open and sync any other project but for some reason, when I want to close this project, the dialogue keeps showing up.
I’m using the desktop app and when I make changes, they do reflect in the webapp. So not sure what’s going on.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hey Bernado 👋🏼 Gleb’s advice here is spot on! Syncing offline changes is covered in detail in ‘Can I work offline with Figma?’ and if your work is updated in the Browser, you should be all good to restart the Desktop App to clear that warning.
If you continue to see this warning after restarting the Desktop App, or in both the Desktop App and Browser, you can flag it with the Support Team by using the ‘?’ to ‘Get help’ and we’ll be happy to troubleshoot with you.
I get this issue when I drop a load of large images in the project at once. It takes a long time to sync with the online version. I wish there was some indication of the sync progress as the message saying “will sync when reconnects” is misleading.
I will continue this thread, same problem on my side in Belgium. It’s been several days that for no reason, when I add images, texts, shapes, my project announces me “unsaved file”. I haven’t lost any data yet, I’m lucky.
How many messages should there be in this thread for the support team to answer?
Started having the same issue today, auto sync doesn’t seems to work and it shows offline not being able to get work done it is getting very infuriating.
I am also constantly having this problem since today in multiple projects. Chrome dev console always shows errors like this when this happens: figma_app.min.js.br:4399 WebSocket connection to 'wss://www.figma.com/api/multiplayer/n8whBVPSNLK7tiLGnvTjFw?role=XXX' failed:
same problem here the desktop figma app showing the message unsaved changes I reload the app and it won’t open again, the browser version shows the same message and nothing is being saved anymore
Same issue for me today, just needed to import few new images and finish the design but it doesn’t show up on a preview, if I close the app changes will be lost 😕
I also have the same issue. Most files I created do save and load correctly. But one file does not save after a few minutes of working either in the browser or the Figma App. The file loads slowly and does revert changes at random. I already tried to delete elements from the canvas and file itself, just to see if it resolves the issue (maybe to many elements at once). But no luck so far. Restarting or reloading does not help, sadly.
