So I have a school project to make a website design that I decided to work with my friend. But recently he sent me a screenshot about all of our work’s layers turned into this ‘vector’ thing that I don’t know what it is (picture included)

You can’t return outlined text back (except Ctrl+Z, but it’s probably too late), but you can restore the version of the file where the text was still editable here
Hey Muhammad, I had a similar incident when I started using Figma, so glad you reached out!
You’ve turned on the Outlines mode in Figma. This mode is like an x-ray machine to your canvas.
To turn this off follow these steps:
Hi,
The Outline stroke in my settings is turned off and yet it shows the same.
Please help me fix this.
Hey @Shivani_Navale, this sounds odd 🤔!
Is this happening in the browser and the desktop app? Have you tried to clear the cache?
Please follow these steps to clear the cache of your desktop app: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040528973-My-files-are-not-opening#id.
If this is not resolving your issue, can you let me know if this is happening in a particular file or in all your files?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Gayani
This is happening on Desktop app. I tried clearing cache. It did not work.
Although, after clearing cache, I was not able to edit any text on the file. I restarted Figma twice for it to be fixed.
Let me know if you need any more information to fix those vector converted files.

He @Shivani_Navale, thanks for trying out the troubleshooting steps!
Please do try to restore to a previous version like @Nellya suggested.
Please let me know if restoring to a previous version fixes your issue.

Yes, used the previous version design. Thank you. It worked.
Thank you so much! This worked.
