Components not updating correctly!

Another day, another bug in Figma! 20 billion well spent adobe…Now my component’s which are in linked library’s are not updating correctly. I literally have to go into each component, make a edit by selecting another component state, and then Figma will pop up saying theres an update for this component - i select update ALL as i usually do, but its only updating the selected instance of the component. all other versions of the same component in the same page are not being update until I select them and do the same thing! what is this? what am i paying for? Frustration? a 2gb limit which make creating even a simple flow almost impossible? the limits of this thing are becoming as increasingly problematic as the bugs. Please fix it, also stop double charging for edits, when they are different teams, one person can only make one set of edits at one given time! criminal

Hi @Jamie_Wooster sorry to hear this is happening!

It looks like we need to investigate this further can you please reach out to the support team directly via this form for help: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Be sure to use your Figma account email, share a short video showing the issue you are seeing, include the links to your file and the library file, and share it with support-share@figma.com so they can take a closer look.

Hey @Alexander_Albuquerque, sorry to hear that you’re still having issues!

I’ve reached out to the team internally to double check if there is another way to investigate this, as you’ve mentioned you are not able to share your file link with us. I’ll get back to you once I get more information on this.

Appreciate your patience in the meantime!

I don’t see a solution to this and am experiencing the same issue. See linked video for example: https://youtu.be/v5wj5DOSsYE

Master components are kept in a separate Figma file and shared to the appropriate working file. When updates are made to a component and the library is updated the linked assets show up correctly, but the existing component instances throughout the file do not update.

Please help with a solution. Working on large projects and unfortunately cannot build assets that scale.

I’m experiencing the same issue. I’ve created a design system in a separate file and am using it in another Figma file. However, when I publish a new component in the design system file, it doesn’t reflect in the other file. I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve updated Figma and restarted the app multiple times, but the issue persists.

Thanks @Gayani_S I’ve shared the two files. They are separate files I created specifically to address this issue.

MASTER ASSETS FILE: https://www.figma.com/design/7CBVgGvfqCV16lf01yhuQF/MASTER-ASSETS-FILE?node-id=0-1&t=ptZcSLvYgnGLPvYG-1

Thank your for your help. Figma support was able to help me understand the step I was missing in my process. I updated the assets file, but did not accept the updates on the working file.

Here is the response that fixed my issues: "It appears that you did not accept the updates available on the subscribed file, indicated by the blue dot on the library icon on the top right corner:

Could you please click on this icon, go to the Updates tab, and accept all updates to the file?"

Still the same Issue. Figma says synced succesful. But the prompt still shows that instances need to be updated. WTF, this is such a beta product and you are asking for a lot of money.
