Stuck on 'System Improvements: File Optimizations'

I need to update from main file before merging changes. However, in the process of updating main file, it says a change is “System Improvements: File Optimizations”. Not sure what that is (there is no description provided), but I hit “Apply changes” anyway. Nothing happens. Now I can’t merge my changes since I apparently still need to update those system improvements from the main file.

Same thing happening to me. Figma is asking me to update for system optimizations, and i cannot apply them. I also cannot merge my branch.

+1 on this issue. My main file has “File optimization” as a “change” to inherit within the branch. I can apply the changes, but the branch won’t inherit them actually. I can resolve conflicts but when I merge, the branch persists and the loop repeats.

+1 on this issue. This is happening as almost every time I try to merge. No other changes, just “System Improvements: File Optimizations”. I accept the updates and then I am able to merge; however, I think I’m losing some of the token updates I applied through this process.

    One year after the last comment… I am encountering the same issue. Any updates?

    +1 in mid 2024…
    I have been experiencing this for almost 2 years now. I am forced to constantly workaround this by restarting Figma and then suddenly it updates properly from main and then branch can be merged. So annoying…

    +1, having this problem constantly. It irritates me - would be great to know what these “File Optimizations” are including.
