solved by duplicating the file. this will cause other downstream issues with sharing to my client as i will have to give all new url’s but at least im not blocked. I would suggest better error messages and recovery options be communicated by Figma Make.
Hey @Daryl Ohrt, thanks for reaching out! Glad you found a way to get unblocked, and thanks for coming back to share what worked.
Duplicating the file is actually one of the fixes listed for errors like this, you can find it in Troubleshoot in Figma Make, along with a few other things worth trying if you hit something similar down the line. That said, I hear you on the downstream hassle: duplicating does create a new file with a new URL, so any links you'd already shared with your client will need to be swapped out.
If this happens again, it'd help the team to have a bug report with the error code and roughly when it occurred, so they can trace what went wrong. Happy to point you to the steps for that if you want to file one.
Let me know if anything comes up with the duplicated file, glad to help if it does!
