Question

Paste to Replace no longer working properly in browser version?

Paste to Replace is no longer working properly as of a few days ago. It seems to be using Paste as Text despite using the shortcut and context menu options for Paste to Replace. 

Desktop app seems to be working as intended but I prefer the browser version if that’s still a viable option. 

In browser I have tried:

  • Logging out/in
  • Signing out of other devices
  • Clearing browser cache, history, etc.


Worst case I can switch to desktop app, just curious if I’m doing something wrong here.

Thank you!

I’m also having the same issue in Chrome.  Interestingly I just tried opening in safari and it seems the paste to replace option is not in the right click menu and the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R doesn’t work at all.

Joining the queue as I was experiencing the same thing on Chrome. Blocking clipboard access worked for me ​@Gayani_S

    Could you please try turning the clipboard settings back on for Figma in Chrome, then restart Chrome, and check if the copy and paste functionality is working now?

    This issue started occurring for me last evening using a browser. I can no longer paste to replace an existing image with a new image within a frame. Super challenging. I can only achieve this with the Upload from Computer function right now. Using Google Chrome Version 134.0.6998.166 (Official Build) (arm64).

    Hi ​@Nico Taus, thank you for sharing those details — I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Are you still experiencing the issue?

    To help us investigate further:

    • Could you confirm if you're using the latest version of Google Chrome? (The current versions are 137.0.7151.34 for iOS/iPadOS and 136.0.7103.115 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.)

    • Have you noticed the same issue in any other browsers Figma supports (Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge)?
       

    Thank you, 

    Gayani
