Moved components to new library, design files won't update

The components in my file aren’t reflecting the most recent master component updates, despite me publishing and accepting the updates. There is other weirdness as well. 

Steps:

  • I published the original library, and moved all of the components to a new library using CMD X and paste. 
  • I published the new library and started noticing that many of the “swap me” components that had been replaced with content components (which had edits to text, images, etc. in the instances) had reverted to the “swap me” component
  • I panicked and reverted to a previous version before I had moved my components because I needed the designs to reflect the edited state. Since the original design file is an MVP, it can remain as is and I just won’t accept any updates to the new component library in that file. 
  • Moving on to new design file using the new component library…
  • When I pull in components from the new library (which has updates to the components that I recently added), the updates are not reflected. Although each component’s subcomponents are all from the same new library, many of the sub components still show as coming from the old library where they no longer exist. If I copy and paste from the new library in to my design, the component changes are reflected, but I can’t select them from the assets library because they don’t have any of the published changes from the new library. 

I restarted Figma. I tried the browser instead of the desktop app. Nothing works, which makes the published library unusable at this point. How do I fix this?
