Hi everyone,


I have a design system library that I publish regularly. This library is being used in other project files. Recently I noticed that whenever I publish an update to the design system library I encounter the following three scenarios:




  1. The project files using the design system library is correctly receiving notice of all updates. I click “Update all” and it successfully reflects all changes.




  2. The project is correctly receiving notice of all updates, but clicking the “update all” button won’t reflect the updates. So, no changes at all. The “update all” button remains.




  3. Not receiving notice of the updates at all.




What I tried

I have read other threads in this forum, where some users suggest to repair various connections, which I did to no avail (also, the same design system library was successfully published and updated before).


My questions

Is this a bug? Is this a traffic bandwidth limitation? Is there a methodology that I’m not aware of that prevents this from happening?


Edit

One thing to note is, that closing the app and not starting it up for a few minutes, sometimes resolves this problem, which could point to a memory/cache issue. Either way, I don’t think this issue is ok to pass on as it makes Figma less reliable to work with.


Thank you to whoever finds the time and energy to respond.

Have a good one.

The same issue has been happening with me since last year and they haven’t fixed it yet. It happens quite often when I edit a component inside our design syste, then I update the same component inside a file, nothing happens or I have to reset the entire component to see the changes, loosing all edits I’ve made. It’s really annoying and I wish Figma would give more attention to it.

Yea I am having this issue too. Sometimes it self resolves, but Figma needs to work out this bug. I make changes DS, update, go to the file instance, update shows, I click update, but updates are not reflected.
