Changes published in library are not updating component instances in other files that use the library

Thank you so much! this works

Having the same Issue – the Library Element only Updates If I manually add it again from the Assets Panel but that’s a big bummer and slow’s down the process tremendously.

I tried all Hacks and repairing connections but also making new Instances, relinking them, adding them as a new Component Instance and so on… just doesn’t work

Figma you seem to have a Problem here.

This is getting beyond a joke! Library updates will just not update in the design file. I can insert a new instance of a component and it will contain the updates from the LIbrary but all the instances that were in the design library will still not update.

From the library modal, if I go into Updates click on the component to review updates, the Preview is unavailable and on update instance I get the error - “An error occurred while retrieving the component or state group”.

I have tried repairing and nothing works.

I have been working with Figma for years and Sketch before then. In the last months there has been major issues with Figma. Its now to the point that it is having a huge impact on performance across the design team deliverables. So much so that we are considering switch to Sketch.

Same for me. It’s grinding my productivity down slowly. I have to restart Figma every time I need to pull updates into my design files from my library files. Its just not recognising there have been changes in my library files. It’s ben like this for almost a year. Please, please sort this. Figma is great, I really don’t want to have to switch tools … again

Would appreciate for Figma to resolve this.

I am publishing updates from a library quite frequently and am having to hack it by right clicking on the design file tab > reload tab every time I am in the design file in order to actually be able to update it.

It is frustrating because it usually starts off working and showing me the ‘Update Instance’ (almost like it has reached a quota… 🤔), then suddenly stops displaying after I publish the library.

Along with a plethora of other Figma Library issues that are slowing down work efficiency, when it’s all added up takes a fair bit of time to deal with throughout the day.

Same issue.
I’ve published a change in the library 15 minutes ago and the notification “Review and accept library updates” is not appearing in the master file. Please fix.

**Edit: Restarting Figma did not help.

I would appreciate if Figma can just respond that this is an issue.

It seems to be getting worse. Now when i publish the new components are not showing up in the shared library. I have to copy and paste from the library and only then will it show up in the design file!!!

Figma, please at least respond!

So as I have had this issue on some days and some days not, I personally assume that this might has something to do with Figma’s Server Ressources? I did not change anything on my file and early morning yesterday everything was quite smooth… today during daytime it’s not working properly anymore. Feels just as if the Updates take very long due to maybe heavy traffic on the servers as everything is in the cloud? Would be cool anyway to get some Input by Figma as this thread has thousands of views already! @Figma_Moderation

Does Figma support exist?

Here’s a new issue I haven’t had before. I have lost access to all Colour Variables and Colour styles in the design file. 🤦‍♂️ I can have access to components in that library but colours are no where to be seen.
