Question

Prototype interactions disappear after a library update

I have 3 libraries. One is a component library, second is more complex components, and the third is page templates. I have separate design files that I import any changes from the libraries. The design files are where the prototype interactions live. The problem i have is that some of the interactions on specific components will consistently disappear every time i update the design file from any of the three libraries. Some component interactions will only sometimes disappear after an update. And some will always remain. Why is that?

    Hey ​@David_Chung 👋 Welcome to the community! Can you share a bit more about your setup? Also a full screen recording of the issue happening from start to finish is always super helpful for our community members. Happy to dig in and having a few more details will help me find specific resources for you. — Jaycee

    I’m having the same issue. On my design system file, the master has interactive prototype (e.g.: Hover state). When publish this to the library to use in other design files, this interaction disappears.

    Thanks for the +1, ​@Luongnd, and for the detail from you both so far.

    • ​@David_Chung, we've got your ticket. We're tracking your report under case 2085476, and I've passed this thread to the team handling it so they have the full context. File access will move things along fastest, since it lets us compare a component that always loses its interactions against one that never does. Replies will come to the email you filed with. 📥
    • ​@Luongnd, could you post a screenshot of the Prototype tab with the main component selected, showing the hover interaction as it's set up? How that interaction is built changes what's likely going on, and seeing it will tell us whether you're hitting the same thing as ​@David_Chung. 🔍

    If you'd rather not post it publicly, you can send it through the Support Hub instead: Type in “report a bug” → include the file URL → give support-share@figma.com view access. Whichever's easier for you!
