Figma Make Design: Headers reverting to old versions and consuming credits

Hi everyone, I'm running into an issue with "Make Design". I’ve been trying to standardize the Header across all my app screens. It seems to work at first, but as soon as I enter a new prompt or refresh the page, it reverts to the previous version.

This happened three times already, and it’s consuming a lot of credits while taking a long time to process, only to give me the same result. Has anyone experienced something similar? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Hi ​@João Pedro Catelan. Thanks for your post!

 

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong from what you’ve described, so let’s do some digging to see what’s happening and go from there. Are you using Chrome as your browser? It would be helpful to see if there are any messages of note in the developer console when Figma Make is making changes based on your prompt. We have a forum post showing how to open the developer console in a couple different browsers if you’ve never used it before. 

 

After Make appears to complete your changes, does it create a new version of your app? It should say this in the chat dialog, and at the top right of the chat panel is a dropdown menu showing versions. Here a couple of screenshots from my own test app so you can see:

It’ll be helpful to know if it’s making a new version but reverting to an older, or if the changes are simply not being actually committed. Thanks!

Initially, I thought it might be a cache issue since I was using Chrome, so I cleared it, but the error persisted. After that, I downloaded the Figma Desktop app, and the same error happened there. I also tried — both on the browser and the Desktop app — to restore previous versions or browse through the version history to find a point where the headers were correct, but the changes simply didn't appear in any of them. It’s as if they were never made, even though the credits were deducted.

That makes sense, ​@João Pedro Catelan. I would have thought it seemed like a cache issue, too.

 

I checked on our end and see that you’ve submitted a ticket to our team (#1849298), so I’ve raised this on our end to help prioritize it. If you do attempt the prompt again the meantime, I recommend using the developer console to check for any errors while prompting. Thank you for your patience - you should hear back soon!
