I created a component with two variants: State: Collapsed and State: Extended. Basically, the first one is when it’s not clicked, and the second one is when it is clicked. I changed the text in the second variant, but in presentation mode, the text doesn’t seem to update. In the prototype, I picked “change to” to switch from collapsed to extended and vice versa. I’ve attached a video to show the issue. This is the first time I’ve run into this little hiccup, so I think I might have forgotten something or overlooked a detail.

While it may seem like it should work this way, Figma doesn’t “remember” the changes in the second variant if you start the presentation using the first. I don’t know if this is a bug. There are two ways to solve this.
Component properties
Add the text fields as properties in your component, and enter the text that you want. It should then remember what you have written.
Hidden layers
Make sure all the text layers are present in both variants, and just hide them in the first. This way the text technically exists in both variants, and will never reset to the variant default.
