Hello,

As the title suggests I have x3 nodes in my library file, they are different styles for multiple brands. Library file is published and up to date.

Selecting all the designs and making a node override works.

Also “DirectLineNEW” & “PriviledgeNEW” no longer exist in the library file and i can’t seem to remove them from the list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it’s driving me loopy.

Hi @Jake_Round, Thanks for getting in touch about this issue, I can understand how frustrating this must be for you.

From what I’ve gathered internally, this may be happening because the page-level UI is pulling from all the variables used in the file. It might possible that somewhere in this file, outdated variables are being used.

Could you please check if any instances in the file are using these outdated variables? If you find any, could you try going to the library where the main components are included, accept all updates, republish them, and then accept the updates in the file with this conflict mode issue to see the difference?

However, I note that we currently have a limitation. If there are locally deleted components that use outdated variables, accepting updates might not resolve the issue. Please know our engineers are actively working on this!

Hope this information helps a bit. Let me know if I misunderstood anything.

Thanks for your response @Junko3

I’m going to assume it is the latter, I’m really struggling to resolve the issue, i’ve double and triple checked there are no legacy styles applied. I have raised a support ticket in the meantime.

I wonder if there is a solution, i would really like to try and avoid rebuilding both files as that seems like a waste of time.

Thanks
