I am not a Figma expert by any means, but have been working hard to learn and have spent countless hours to create a prototype for a project I was working on.
All of a sudden, I must have hit some shortcut keys, my whole project lost all fidelity, and this is what it now looks like:


It was very high fidelity and colorful.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi @Jerry_Beinhauer
This happened to me. I think you’re in outline mode. Click Command + Y to toggle between them.

Do you happen to know the shortcut for Windows? or where in the menus it may be

This just happened to me as well.

Try reloading/refreshing your page as the above suggestions although useful, didn’t work for me.


THANK YOU so much for this, I was panicking and couldn’t find the right solution anywhere. Back in seconds!
