Library updates gives an error and instances are not updated in design files

Hi,

I'm having an issue with publishing some updates in Figma. When I try to publish the library updates, I get an error for 38 changes (text-related), and it doesn't update them.

I'm also running into a problem with instances. I changed the content colours using local variables, and it updated the design system file. But when I publish the changes, the instances still follow the old colours. For example, the table cell component and all the table instances are still showing the old design, not the updated one.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

 

Thanks for posting about this. Do you see any invalid assets when you try to publish your components, or any invalid properties (marked with an exclamation icon)? Clearing those up can sometimes help with publishing and updating instances.

If you're still running into trouble after checking that, feel free to reach out directly to the Figma support team. They're happy to help! Here's a link to get you started: Figma Support

Here are some additional tips for contacting support:

  • Use the email address associated with your Figma account.
  • Include links to the specific file you're having trouble with.
  • Share access with support-share@figma.com in your request. Don't worry, this won't affect your billing – it just allows them to take a look at your file and help you troubleshoot.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

Toku
