Figma make to figma design copy not working properly

I’m experiencing a persistent copy–paste issue in Figma.
Whenever I copy frames or components from Figma Make to a Figma Design project, the layout gets distorted — spacing changes, auto-layout breaks, and typography styles don’t map correctly.

If anyone has faced this and found a reliable solution, please share. This is slowing down my workflow, especially when combining Make explorations with production-ready design files.

    I’m having a similar issue. 
    When I paste into Figma Design, I only get a portion of the design (menu options, which are part of my design). But I don’t get any of the other content (the most important part) i.e. form components, buttons, fields, headers, etc. This happens from wherever page I happen to copy from.

    Hi ​@Deok Filho — Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

    Thanks for flagging this and for sharing the context. I’m sorry you’re running into issues with copy-pasting into Figma Design.

    Could you please review the steps below to confirm everything is set up correctly?

    • Make sure you’re viewing the preview of your Figma Make file. As a quick check, you can also try refreshing the preview or the page.
    • Navigate to the specific state you want to copy (a page, screen, or interface view).
    • Click the “Copy design” icon at the top of Figma Make.

    Here’s the guide for reference: Copy a Figma Make preview as design layers​​​​​​

    If the issue persists, it would be really helpful if you could share a screenshot or screen recording showing the steps you take (with the full Figma window visible)

    Please also share your impacted file with support-share@figma.com and grant “Can View” access — This will not impact your billing and will allow us to reproduce the issue and investigate with Engineering.

    Thanks!
