I’m working in Figma (v125.4.9) and have duplicated both a UI file (UI) and its linked styleguide (SG) to create new versions: UI-V2 and SG-V2.

I updated UI-V2 so it links to SG-V2 instead of the original SG. I used the “Swap library” functionality to remap all styles and components from the old library to the new one. I then removed the original styleguide (SG) from the file via Manage Libraries > Remove.


Here’s the issue:

When I make changes to SG and publish them, those changes still show up as updates in UI-V2, even though:

• SG is no longer listed under “Libraries added to this file”

• It’s also not listed under “Libraries used in this file”

• I successfully swapped all styles to SG-V2 and removed the old one

 

Yet updates from SG continue to appear in UI-V2. Why is this happening? How can I fully disconnect or purge all hidden links to the original styleguide?

 

Any insight or solutions would be appreciated!

Hi ​@Kurt Limbos, thanks for sharing all these details!

As a quick temporary solution, please double-check that all the assets you’re trying to swap have exactly matching names. Then, try re-publishing SG-V2 and repeating the Swap Library process. This can sometimes help remove lingering connections to the original library.
