Finding Missing Library components/styles

Same issue. Cannot find any of the ‘missing’ styles. I’ve checked everything: hidden layers, unions and subtracts, I’ve managed to reduce the number of the the ghosts, but still have some, and it drives me crazy.

I am also getting some cases where a match is found. Yet when I click Swap library the old style persists.

What’s interesting for me, is my missing library has similar names of styles or components (not exact) to my active/current library. Yet it won’t let me swap them (the option is disabled.) 😞

This is a hack, but I was having a ton of trouble finding some rogue styles that were missing. They didn’t show up with any plugins. I was able to find them by running:

figma.currentPage.findAll(n => {
    var style = figma.getStyleById(n.effectStyleId);
    if (style) {
        console.log(style.name)
        if (style.name === "[ style name you're looking for]") {
            figma.currentPage.selection = [n];
        }
    }
})

in console on each page. As long as you know the style name you should be able to find the layers this way.

You can do this with text styles, fill styles, effect styles, etc

Oh, cool! I will definitely try this out. Always fun to fiddle with the console (when you know how 😄 )

Update: @Pete_Lada I tried it out but appears to get no results? This is what I see:

for this:

Are you sure its an effect style? Like is this a fill style (color?)

Oh!! 🤔 Good question. Maybe what I’m seeing (in the screenshot above) is actually an Effect style? Is that what you’re asking?

If it is an Effect, can I change the code snippet to find effects instead of fills?

The snippet you linked is specifically looking for effect style names. You can change that bit to fillStyleId or textStyleId to find the names of those style types instead

Ohhhh! I see what you mean, thanks for pointing that out. Appreciate it.

As a workaround, Style Organiser helps to locate linked styles on the board. This is particularly good if your Library is made of local components, as remote styles are highlighted.
