Question

Unintentional Hidden Variable Collection

Kenny9

Hi there, I’ve published a number of design systems with variable collections before. This is the first time I’ve run into this issue:

  • I have a design library file.
  • I have a primitive and semantic collection
  • The primitive collection publishes with no issues.
  • The semantic collection does not publish. When I check the “Publish Library” settings, this collection shows up under a list called “Hidden” and “These won’t be published”
  • None of the variables have been selected to be hidden during publishing, nor does the collection name have any kind of prefix to mark it to be hidden.

I’m at a loss here!

Thanks!

So…I created a new collection, and then the semantic collection (previously hidden) now published with no problem. Classic case of trying random things and having it fix something seemingly unconnected. 🤷

I had the same problem here, it’s very annoying! But I managed to add them back to the list by right-clicking and selecting “show when publishing”. I had to do this manually, one by one, for more than 30 variables. But I managed to do it with the current variables, without having to create a new one.

I also have to say that it was quite hard to find the issue, because they were not in the main “hidden” list.

I’ve just renamed the collection and was able to publish it again.
