Hi, I’m a beginner, but I’ve recently noticed a problem. I made a presentation in Figma Design and tried to copy the slides into Figma Slides. However, after many attempts and restarts, it just keeps showing “Copying slides over…” and never finishes. I have alredy tried to make simple “presentation” slides from templates and just use blank frames without anything…still does not work. And I have alredy tried to switch between app and two browsers. I am using Mac M1 Pro

Hey ​@Alexz549 — welcome to Figma Forum, and thank you for flagging this (and for including the screenshot!). I know how frustrating it can be when something as simple as copying slides doesn’t behave as expected.

From what I understand, you’ve created a presentation in Figma Design and are now trying to copy content into Figma Slides — but you’re getting stuck on the “Copying slides over…” message. I tested a few variations on my end (copying frames, components, and prototypes between files) and things worked as expected, so let’s narrow this down a bit more together:

  • App version. When using the Figma Desktop App, can you confirm you’re running version 125.9.10 or later? (You can check under Figma → About Figma.)
  • Steps to reproduce. Could you share the exact steps you take before the loop starts? Even small details (e.g. selecting from Layers panel vs. canvas) help.
  • Content size. How many frames are you trying to copy over at once? Does selecting a smaller number, or omitting a specific frame allow it to work?
  • Quick fixes. You can also try these additional steps from our Troubleshooting checklist → Try these quick fixes — they often resolve bugs right away.

Keep me posted on how things go with these checks and if the issue persists. 🙏🏼

I am experiencing the same issue.

 

I am running the Figma Desktop App version 125.9.10. Steps I take:

 

  1. Selecting the artboards (around 50 in total) but also experiencing the same issue with 10 e.g.
  2. Click the button ‘Copy to Figma Slides’
  3. Slides is being openend and I see the start screen (where I can search, start from scratch, select template).
  4. I close the screen and I don’t see my frames.
