Export section completely disappeared from the Design panel after UI3 update ( (owner of the file, can't export)

Update: The issue was resolved after I duplicated the file. The Export section reappeared in the duplicated version, and shortly after, it also became visible in the original file. I'm not sure whether duplicating the file triggered something or whether the issue was resolved on Figma's side, but everything is working normally now.

Hi ​@Ulviyya_S, Celyn from the Figma Community Support team here.

Thanks for sharing the update! I'm glad to hear everything is working normally again. It sounds like this may have been a temporary issue. While I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior on my end, I appreciate you sharing that duplicating the file appeared to help, as it may be useful if anyone else encounters something similar.

Thanks again for taking the time to update the thread! Feel free to reach out if you notice this happening again 🙌

My team experienced this issue as well, I was not the file creator but I was able to export frames, but the file owner was unable to export frames today even though it worked earlier this week.

Duplicating the file worked for us too, but it’s an interesting issue to be sure. 

Hi ​@Percival Kish, thanks for chiming in here and sharing what your team experienced.

I’ve flagged these reports with our team so they can take a closer look. Appreciate you taking the time to share these details!

I was having the same issue. The export section reappeared after doing a hard refresh and empty cache.

I’m just from experiencing the same issue , on a specific file , where i used ai to redesign a flyer , is it because of that ?

5 minutes after

i changed opened another file and came back to the one missing the export and it re appeared , so try that

Hi ​@Joe Greene, ​@Tsopdieu Sebastien - thanks for sharing what worked for each of you!

I’m glad to hear the Export section reappeared after either performing a hard refresh and clearing the cache, or opening another file and returning to the affected one. These workarounds may also be helpful for anyone else who comes across the same issue.

The team hasn’t been able to reproduce the issue so far, but if it returns, please let us know and we’ll be happy to dig into it further.

Thanks for the comments! My Export section also disappeared from the right panel in Figma’s Chrome app, but refreshing the page fixed it. I’ll remember to try that first next time.
