Question

Apply changes button disabled when updating from main


Ethan_Wang

Hi there,

I’m trying to update from main to one of my branches. There are 3 conflicts. After I resolved them and went to the next page where it shows all the other non-conflicting changes, the Apply changes button is disabled for me. I can’t click on any of the changes/layers in the right preview pane either. Am I doing anything wrong here? Would appreciate any help or pointers!

Thanks!
Ethan

Also is there a way to skip other non-conflicting changes from main? I pulled in those non-conflicting changes but somehow it thinks those changes were made in the branch and showed up as branch changes in the review and merge dialog.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the late response! Are you editors on the branch? If not, then you won’t be able to apply updates, even if they are available.
Otherwise, please DM me your file URLs and share them to support-share@figma.com.

Thanks for your patience!
Alex

Also, updating from main does require pulling in non-conflicting changes as well. But, it isn’t expected to see them “double-counted” when you merge them back into main. Let me know if the problem persists! Otherwise, we can investigate your file via DM.

Is this still a problem?

I am facing the same issue today:

  1. In a branch as editor
  2. Update in Main
  3. Check the updates → no conflicts
  4. Greyed out button

Can anyone help me, please? (I cannot share any link)

FYI: it seems it is a problem with the App: I tried from the Browser and it worked nicely and smoothly!


I had the same issue, cannot apply changes in app, but no issues in browser. Seems like a bug.

Had the same issue. Reloading the tab in the app solved it for me.
Right click the tab → Reload Tab

Thank you!

Just had the same issue with a greyed out ‘Apply updates’ button and can confirm that it worked properly after reloading the tab. The button showed up as blue again.

Yep, this still happens but reloading helps. Thanks for sharing that solution ♥
