Changes in libraries are not published

Hi, all my libraries are facing the same issues: when I try to publish the changes, the modal appears, I press the “publish” button, but than nothing happens. It doesn’t work either with single components. I tried closing Figma, with the app, with browser but nothing changes. I am pretty sure there are no problems with my components. What could it be? It seems to be connected to my account, since I don’t face the same problem in client’s files.

Hey ​@Thanks_Design, thanks for reaching out! 

I know how frustrating it can be when library updates won’t publish, especially when everything looks like it should be working. Let’s walk through a few quick things that usually resolve this:


First, try refreshing or restarting the app to clear any temporary glitches. Then, open the Publish modal and check if anything shows up under the “Invalid” section. If so, removing unused or conflicting properties often helps.
 

It’s also worth making a small change (like adding a description to a variable) to prompt Figma to recognize updates. Double-check that your components are actually added to the library (visible in the Assets panel), and that there aren’t any missing local fonts being used.
 

If the issue persists, try isolating and publishing smaller groups of components to identify if one is causing the blockage. You can also run “Repair component connections” in the file to help re-sync things. If you’re still stuck after this, we can continue to troubleshoot together.
