Question

Design System Component Library Syncing issues

My library is set correctly, sometimes my updates come through just fine but, sometimes, even though I can see the updates in the Design System when I go to apply the changes and I review the two windows next to each other for the current view and the updated view these are inverted so when I click on update all it reverts everything to the old view everywhere creating a headache of clean up. I noticed that if I quit the application then it refreshes the data and the updates come through correctly. Is this happening to other users? Is it something that is being considered to be fixed? What can I do to fix it on my end besides having to quit the application for every update I make? Please help, thanks.

Hey hey ​@walter.cajas 🤩 Thanks for your post 🙌  The detail about quitting refreshing is useful.

Can you share a screen recording of one full cycle? Opening Review library updates, the side-by-side review, clicking Update all, and the canvas right after 

Two quick questions:

Next time it happens, before clicking anything, try switching the review from Side by side to Overlay. This give us the same update a different way. More on the review flow

If possible, please invite support-share@figma.com as a viewer to your file where this occurred. This won't affect your billing or take up a seat. The library file and the file where it went wrong, plus a rough time of one bad update are also good details. 

One request: Next time it happens, before clicking anything, try switching the review from Side by side to Overlay. That renders the same update a different way and will be a useful bit of info

Thank you! — Jaycee

Hello Jaycee, I am using the Desktop app version. Next time I go through updates and I encounter the issue I will make sure to record the screen for a better context and reference. Thank you for getting back to me. I truly appreciate your prompt response.
