[Monitoring] Copy file and export issue

I can’t paste images since Friday, I can see the blue outline square but no image, I’ve restarted the program several times and is still the same, a co-worker in a different country reported the same, anyone else having this problem?

I am logged in a correct profile, all files are located in my own team drafts and I can edit them, but can’t copy anything. There is also trouble accessing “Share” window, it just doesn't load and disappears after some time.

HELP!!!

I am having the exact same issue . I’ve logged in and out, updated figma, even restarted my computer. ALL my files are doing this!

Copy and paste is broken within all my files. I can still edit and do everything else. I imagine this is a bug that came up in Figma, as this happened to my coworker also, and none of our sharing permissions were changed.

Same Exact Issue Here

Glad to hear I’m not the only one.

Same exact behavior here, has been happening for about the last 30min

Today I am trying to export a frame as a jpeg from a file of which I am the owner and only user. I have a free account, and when I try to export I get a pop up that says “You are not allowed to export this file”. How can I fix it?

[Moderator Note: Merged from “Unable to export frame today”]

Our files are now unlinked from all published library after reload during the last 30 min or so. The library are published and still discoverable but we’re still unable to link it back. This is accompanied with variable entry been completely missing from the page as well as not been able to copy anything within the design.

Same here!! After the most recent figma update, Our company work is being delayed as for some reason all of our accounts cannot access our design system libraries from files. Asset shows No libraries here (although there was) and when pressing on browse, the list of design system libraries open but “Add to file” CTA isnt doing anything  (see screenshot), 

We cannot even go to the design system file and copy/paste into the desired file as it notifies that “Not allowed” (see screen shot) although we are all editors.

It seems like I am unable to export anything afte rthe recent update.

The Export action is missing in the Properties panel. Using shortcut Shift + Command + E throws “You are not allowed to export this file”.

I'm the sole owner of the file/team/project - all levels. 

Anyone experiencing same issue?

I have the exact same problem!! Can’t copy (although if i click and drag with the option key down it does copy frames), and share settings don’t work/open. Also can’t export anything!!

Just updated to the new version and the export tool has disappeared. The share prototype button also just doesn’t do anything. It tries to load but then closes the window. I have to share a prototype with a client today. Anybody else encountering this problem?

Sensitive*

My design systems haven't been working properly since the last update. Additionally, I'm getting the message "You do not have permission to copy this file" on my own files. Please help.

I just updated 10 mins ago, and i noticed that:

1. i can’t copy anything from my own project file
2. checked my libraries, the libraries that i used for my projects are now not added anymore. And if i want to add the library back to the file, no reaction at all when press “add to file” button. Therefore, i can’t access to my libraries.

Same issue here. It just started to happen after I did the update. Now I cannot copy any of my own files.

Hi 

I cannot see the option to export my files in figma. It was there a while ago but I don't see that anymore.

Hello everyone 
I'm not particularly professional in working with figma, but I create all kinds of posters and stuff. I'm logging in now and I don't see the export section.
Help please
