Question

Specific Figma file appears corrupted — layers/properties missing and file cannot be shared

I’m experiencing a serious issue that appears to affect only one specific Figma Design file.

The file still opens, but its internal state/UI appears to be broken.

Current symptoms:

  • Some elements/content disappeared.
  • The normal Layers/folder structure is missing or displayed incorrectly.
  • When selecting elements, some normal position/coordinate information and properties are unavailable.
  • Figma AI Agent no longer works correctly in this file.
  • Restarting Figma and restarting my Mac does not fix the issue.
  • Another member of my team opened the same original file and sees the same problems.

The most important diagnostic detail:

If I duplicate this exact file, the duplicated version works normally. The problem exists only in the original file.

The issue has now become even more serious: I can no longer share the affected original file with anyone. I’m unable to grant access to another person or to the Figma Support email address.

I already created an official Figma Support case: #2159948.

I initially submitted the wrong file URL in that ticket, but I later added the correct URL to the affected original file and explained the situation.

I also have a screen recording showing the problem and comparing the affected original file with the working duplicate.

Has anyone experienced a similar file-specific corruption or document-state issue?

If a Figma Support Specialist sees this post, I would also appreciate help reviewing or escalating support case #2159948.

I’m intentionally not posting the affected file URL publicly because it is a private work file. The correct URL has already been provided in the support case.
