Hi @Barbara3, Thanks for reaching out about this. I appreciate you sharing this video with us!

Upon viewing the video, I noticed that the text displayed between 0:02 and 0:12 differs. I assume this is the issue you are talking about. However, I’m unsure and it’s challenging for me to point the cause. Can you provide more details?

To begin the troubleshooting process, could you please specify if this issue is happening in the desktop app, the browser, or both?

Could you please try clearing your app and browser cache to see any difference?
You can find instructions in this guide: Clear the Figma desktop app cache

If the previous suggestion does not fix the issue, could you kindly provide a recording demonstrating the problem again? This time, please include the entire Figma screen visible, with the necessary layers expanded, properties, layer panels, and the interaction settings shown.
This allows our community to better visualize and understand your situation.

Hope to hear from you soon.
We welcome any further suggestions or solutions from members of our community, so please feel free to share them here!

Thanks again for reaching out!

Hey @Junko3 tkns for supporting me but it keeps not working.
I already clean app and browser cache and it keeps happening on both of them.

See, when I edit a text instance on a component, it dont changes in a preview mode and the editscomeback to default.

I stucked in this problem for a few days, dont know what to do anymore.

I appreciate so so much if you help me to fix this.
