Buzz Templates won't show up in publish screen

I’m trying to publish a set of templates in Buzz, but they don’t show up under “ready to publish” (see screenshot).

I’ve closed and reopened figma (desktop) a billion times and nothing. I also deleted all the earlier templates I tried to test and made a new one (copying directly out of my figma file) because this was happening in another file. 

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? It worked like once and then I tried to add more templates to the file and now it’s not working at all.

Hi ​@Taryn Hart, thanks for reaching out! 

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble publishing templates. May I ask if the template you are trying to publish is in your drafts? 

If so, please note that you cannot publish a template file from your drafts. Before publishing, be sure to move the file from your drafts folder to a project.
More info here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/31271693614487-Create-and-publish-Figma-Buzz-templates#h_01JTGT3D3FXJGRT84EC13J2W74

Please let me know if that helps, or if you run into any further issues.

Hi! Thanks for getting back to me, it’s not in my drafts. I also tried moving it around different projects and nothing changed.

Maybe also worth mentioning that the artboards I copied in are set up as components in the original figma design file, because I wanted to be able to toggle on/off certain things. But it suggests doing that in the figma buzz documentation, so shouldn’t be an issue right?

Thanks for confirming and for the additional context, ​@Taryn Hart

That shouldn’t be an issue, so this definitely sounds odd and unexpected. Can you please confirm which team you’re attempting to publish from? 

Please note that if the template file is within a Starter team, you cannot publish Buzz templates from there. While Figma Buzz is free for everyone, publishing templates is only available on paid plans. And if you’re using a Pro plan, please note that Professional teams can only create five team templates.
