Figma Library Issue: Instances Not Linking to Parent Component Inside Library


hyobin chang

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing some critical issues with Figma libraries and I’d love to get some insights from the community.

 

  1. Parent Component and Instance Connection is Broken
  • Even within the library file itself, instances are not properly linked to the parent component.
  • When I modify the main component, the changes do not reflect in its instances, and sometimes the parent component cannot be located.

 

  1. Instances in Linked Files Can't Find the Parent Component

  • Team members linked their personal files to the library and used components from it.
  • However, when selecting an instance and clicking "Go to Library," it navigates to the library file but does not take us to the exact location of the parent component.
  • Additionally, when we try to "Swap Instance," the library does not appear in the list, and instead, it shows "Created in this file.”

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I’d really appreciate any advice from those who have encountered similar problems
