Slot content blank when reviewing Main/Branch conflicts

hey, team! when reviewing the “Update from main file” overlay, every Slot updated is shown blank, without its content.

Hey ​@Gab-CU, welcome to Figma Forum!

Thanks for flagging this — definitely worth a closer look. I'd like to make sure I have the full picture of what you're seeing so I can try to reproduce it.

Could you share a few more details?

  1. After you apply the update from main, does the Slot content look right on the canvas in your branch?
  2. Have you seen Slot content show up in this overlay before, or has it always appeared blank for you? If you can provide any window of time, that’ll be good for me to know as well.
  3. Does anything change if you open the file in the Figma Desktop App vs. the browser?
  4. Is the component with the Slot from the same file, or from a published library?

 

Once I have that information, I'll test this out further and try to reproduce the issue. With that, I can share it with the team for more insight.

    thank you for taking a look at this, ​@Tom Reem !

    1. slot content looks as expected after merging/resolving conflicts.
    2. reviewing slot changes in branches is new to me. i started doing it this week, they haven’t shown up in any of the sessions i’ve tried.
    3. i use the desktop app exclusively. some teammates have been having issues with files in the browser (eg. components breaking unexpectedly), so i’ve been avoiding it altogether. sorry i can’t test that one for you.
    4. it’s coming from a published library.

      Got it — thanks for getting back to me with those details, ​@Gab-CU, and no worries at all about the browser!

      I tried to reproduce this in the Figma Desktop App (I’m on version 126.8.18). I set up a branch using Slots with content from a published library, then used Update from main. In the review overlay, the Slots showed their content as expected, and after applying the changes, everything matched the main file's size, position, and formatting.

      Since I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my end, I'd like to make sure we find what's potentially different in your setup. Could you let me know which app version you're on? You can find it under Figma → About Figma.

      If you're up for it, I've also sent you an email with instructions for sharing your file securely with our Technical Quality team. Check your inbox for case number: 2163230. With access to the file, they can look into what might be contributing to this.

      If anyone else runs into blank Slots when reviewing branch updates, please reply here with the steps leading up to the unexpected result. Thanks again for sticking with us!
