We wrote stories and linked it to figma components(via copy link to selection cmd+L) within the stories. 

We then did branching and started rolling out incremental updates, but now on merging a branch, the pasted Figma links are taking the users to a cover page and not the component.

Is this normal? How do you work when the components are getting incremental updates? 

Hey ​@Dhruv_Srivastava — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for raising this! I checked with our Technical Quality team and wanted to share some context on what may be happening.

It sounds like the links you created point to frames within the branch file, which means the URLs include the node ID and branch ID. When the branch is merged and archived, those URLs still reference the archived branch rather than the main file node. Does that match what you’re seeing?

Let me know if this helps. If this doesn’t clarify things or if other questions remain, please reply here and I’ll be happy to help troubleshoot further. 🙏🏻


Hey ​@Tom Reem, thanks for the kind welcome, and checking in with the Technical Quality team
So we’ve actively copied links from the main file and not the branch. 

Here’s some additional detail listed with the two separate scenarios we encountered, we have a frame with a modal component...

  1. Contents of the modal got replaced in the merge, link copied was for the whole modal(frame). (Link broke on merge)
  2. Entire modal(contents + frame) got replaced in the merge, link copied was for the whole modal(frame). (Link broke on merge)

Lemme know if you need more info on this. 
Thanks again Tom!

🤗
