Why is Make publishing old versions of my code

Hi ​@Niel Robertson,

I understand you're experiencing an issue with publishing an older version of your Figma Make file.

Thanks for sharing the published URL — I can see the difference on the next page after selecting "Cake."

To help us investigate further, could you please share the URL of the file where you're seeing this issue and grant edit access to support-share@figma.com?
Please rest assured that granting this access will not affect your billing.

This access will help our team take a closer look and troubleshoot more effectively.

If you’re not comfortable sharing the file link publicly, feel free to PM me instead.

​​​​​​​Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks. Here is the project url if that’s what you need: 

And here is the preview site:

https://gong-legal-53674856.figma.site

I will add you as editor!

Hi ​@Niel Robertson,

Thanks for sharing the file. From what we can see on our end, the current preview and the published site appear to match.

If you’re still experiencing the issue, please let us know.

Wow so I just reloaded my Figma browser page and it reverted all my code to almost the start of the work. Did I just lose all my work on this. This is now what I see when I load the page (which matches the published site) but this is what the first version of the app was, I made scads of changes to it after that. Look at  the pics above - that is what the app looked like after many iterations. This below was literally the first pass from my first prompt. Scary as heck that all my work was lost. Is there a way to revert to a previous version?

Yup, you guys wiped out all the word I did.  This is the first prompt I used:

Built an ios app: this is a cash register for kids to help them learn numbers and the idea of buying things at the top it should have the total like a cash register read out. in the middle it should show all the things you can buy at a coffee shop (cake, coffee, apples, cookies). When you click on one of those things it should show you the price of it in big round circle. The kid has to tap the numbers of the price in order to complete the sale. The current number should be pulsing to show where to tap. When a number in the price is tapped, say the number. Once the whole price is tapped say “One [item] that costs [price]” and add it to the list of items purchased at the bottom and update the total amount of money spent at the top. Have an icon in the top right to restart with an empty purchasing list.

Here is all the prompting after it. If you scan it you’ll see I did a bunch of work on it. Sad to see that is all lost.

Hi ​@Niel Robertson 

So sorry to hear this happened, and thank you for taking the time to share all the details.
I’ll check in with the team to understand what might have gone wrong and see what options may be available. I’ll get back to you as soon as I hear more.

Thanks again for your patience!

Thanks. If there is a way to roll back to a previous version I’d love that. I’ll survive either way but my kid will have to wait another few days for her cash register :)

Hi ​@Niel Robertson,
 

Thanks for waiting. Our team had a couple of suggestions that may help:

1. Try duplicating the file

2. Try restoring from version history

Based on your video, around 01:14, we noticed a “Restore version 30” prompt.
The “Restore this version” icon (curly arrow) appears at version 28 — could you try clicking it to see if the agent uses the correct version from there?

If restoring through the chat doesn’t work, you can also try the following:

1. Go to the file browser

2. Right-click the file and choose "Show version history"

Note: This version history is different from the one inside Make. It’s a full backup of the file, including timestamps.

If none of this helps, please let us know. I’d be happy to create a support ticket so you can have a direct conversation with our Technical Quality team.

Thanks!

Hey look at that! The restore point to 28 did the trick. I wonder if the PWA request or the convo about Expo somehow blew the code base up?

From a UI perspective, I did not think you had restore points because the last few versions had no restore icons (i’d have to scroll back to one with it to have seen that). I think an icon in the top with a drop down of all restore points would be super useful and probably teach new users you can revert like this. Might be me being new to Figma as a creator too.

Thanks for all the help!
