I can't use any components, typography variables, or colors from my design systems. It suddenly stopped working, both on the web and desktop versions. I've already unpublished and then republished the library, but whenever I try to pull the component or variable from another file, it gives an error.

I already went to the troubleshooting section and did a reset and restart of Figma Web.

Error when trying to select a color from the library to fill the square.:

 

Error when trying to add a library component.:

Hi ​@Kaique Marques, thanks for flagging this issue! 

I completely understand how this must be slowing down your workflow. Are you still having this issue? If so, is this happening with any of your other Libraries or is it just with the assets of this Library in particular? 

With this information, I can better understand how to best troubleshoot this with you.
