Question

Left sidebar not displaying anything in Slides

I’ve been playing around with Figma Slides and every time the left sidebar will stop displaying content after a certain time. So i don’t get the option to add new slides and my already existing slides will not show either. I think it always happens after i’ve added an asset library to the deck.

Here’s a pic for context.

Does anyone if this is something i’m doing wrong or if this is just a beta bug?

I am pretty sure this is a beta bug. It has happened to me several times too and reloading the whole tab fixes it for me.

Hey @Lua_Telgt, thanks for flagging this!

I’m sending this over to our Slides team to investigate. Are you able to share a link to your file?

If so, please include it within this thread and share edit access with support-share@figma.com, so our team can take a closer look.

Does refreshing or reloading your tab, as suggested by @Brian_Saunders, help in the meantime?

@dvaliao hey! I have the same issue:

  • If you just try to toggle between views it does not change the anything, the sidebar stays empty
  • if you are working from Chrome (latest update) and just refresh, it stays empty
  • if you hard reload from Chrome the sidebar is normal again
  • if you close the file in Figma app (mac) it stays empty
  • if you close the Figma app and open it again it goes back to normal

Hope this help 🙂
