Hi everyone

Figma file I’ve been editing for days and months as file owner.
Now I can’t seem to be able to copy elements on it, share the file, rename it etc. And this started immediately after an update.

I can design on the file but i can’t use AI features

Please can someone help me urgently? thank you!

    Hi ​@Jeyson Lopez — thanks for reporting this, and I've got some good news.

    I checked in with our Engineering team, and they've pushed a fix. Copying and exporting should be working as expected now.

    Give your tab a refresh and let me know how it goes.

    I'm continuing to monitor reports and will follow up if anything changes.

    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!!!

        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.
