Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show


Justin_Trout

I am getting a message that says “Library assets may need to be republished for modename mode to show.” There is also a little icon next to the mode name in all of my files when selecting a palette mode. We use a single design system file that has all of our variables and the other palettes don’t seem to have the same problem. The error message is not very helpful and I have cleaned up all of the files and resolved everything I can find but this message never goes away. Can anyone help me understand what is going on?

I have included a couple of images as an example of what I am seeing.

This was resolved through support. What needed to happen was to set all pages in the library file to the default mode at the page-level and republish. I am still waiting to hear back about what the issue was and why this process resolved it.

I’m having this same issue with my design library file. i’ve painstakingly checked that every page and element is set to default modes but i’m still getting this same error.

i have. i’ve tracked at least some of the issue to a haunted drop shadow style which is used everywhere but only breaks in certain areas… i’ll work with whoever picks up the ticket.

Hey @Kingery_Michael - I saw your ticket in our system, and that someone on our tech quality team is working with you now. I consulted with some members of the team, and I think it best that the conversation be continued via email to avoid any confusion on communication.

Let me know if I can help with anything else in the meantime!


Hi, y_toku. I also encounter the same issue, could you help me to investigate it too?

Just check the components. For some reason, the link to master components is broken.
