I am new to Figma (transitioning from sketch). I just had to buy the professional plan to experiment with libraries. And thats where I got stuck:
I have a library file ‘documentA’ published and enabled for my team in ‘document B’ (I am on the pro plan). But I cant see components! It just says “…explore libraries…” and when I click on it it shows me that my library is enabled.
I hope this makes sense — I’d love to upload screenshots here but I dont see any option to do that. Is there actually a way to get real customer support?
Hi!
I’m new to Figma, so sorry if my terminology is limited. The way I fixed it was by going to the Mobile Wireframe UI Kit on Figma, and clicking on ‘Libraries’ from the Main Menu drop-down > I saw that there were still about 395 components that weren’t published when I first did it from the drop-down by the file name > After publishing the rest of the components, I went back to my team project design, and the components just showed up.
Hope that helps!
Update: I duplicated the process, and the problem happened again. I then repeated the process on the desktop Figma application instead of the web browser and it worked there instead.
I had something similar happen to a library where I had a 3 separate components in a Frame for organizational purposes. Two of the three components appeared in my external file that used the library but one did not. My issue was that one of my Variants did not contain all of the Properties. Once I included all of the Properties to all of the Variants and published the library, all of the components appeared.
The solution is very simple. Check that your unpublished components doesn’t have errors (mine had an unused text) I fixed it and voila. Working as expected.
