I have local components that I want to send to a library and moving them is absolutely unreliable.
I published the local file so that Figma recognizes it as a library (since the moving doesn't work otherwise), and after moving and publishing the changes the instances still broke down, I had to revert versions in both files and now the panel that should pop up whenever I try moving the components (again) just won't appear.
Hi there! Sorry to hear this is happening.
This looks odd. It sounds like your library may be disconnected. As a first troubleshooting, can you try publishing a small change to see if that solves the issue.
Please follow the steps below:
Usually, this method of forcing a controlled update in all of the dependent files usually gets instances back in a workable state going forward.
If this still doesn’t help, I’d recommend you to reach out directly to our support team for further investigation. You can submit a bug report detailing the steps that led to this issue by filling out this form: Submit a bug report
Please make sure to use your Figma email account, and please mention which instances didn't update in this case and ideally forward us screenshots that would show this. This will help us to better visualise the issue and to replicate it. Thank you!
Hi Celine, I did manage to get it to work. But like I said, it doesn't work smoothly. If we could do a library swap with local components like we can with external libraries it would be much more helpful.
Thanks for your feedback, we’ll pass it along to our team for consideration. And, glad to hear you were able to fix it!
