"You have unsaved changes" dialogue showing in one of my projects

Same issue again!

again problems on servers?

Same ! Connected to wifi but having “unsaved changes”

same problem again

Hi! I have his problem since 16 November. When I change something in the project, I see the system message “You have unsaved changes”. I tried to open projects in browser, in app, reload the computer. Nothing helps.

나 또한 same issue를 경험. Network Issue는 아니다. 이것은 매우 불쾌함. Figma는 빨리 이 issue를 해결해야 할 것. 나는 Figma를 구매한 Adobe의 stock을 판매할 계획이 있다. (5개를 가지고있는데 100%의 높은 수익율. Thx Figma.)

나 또한. Korean. 만나서 반갑습니다. Same issue를 겪고있다. 나는 곤란함

Same problem here since last week, every day. And the app is really very sloooow.

how you are going to earn money using Figma and buy food ???

I have the same issue everyday for the last 3 months. My files stop syncing many times a day, and sometimes they never sync.

I have to close Figma and open it again in order for the file to sync, and in some occasions that also will not work.

When the files are not syncing, working within the files becomes very laborious, as the file becomes incredibly sluggish to work in.

I’ve also tried using a vpn and changing locations, but this has no effect—files still continue to have syncing issues.

I hope this post will not fall on deaf ears and the folks at Figma will do something about this issue.

I lost a day of work because it never synced and kept up saying I had unsaved changes. Tried saving it as a .fig and re-importing but didn’t work (not even on a different computer). After closing the tab and trying to re-open, the project never re-opened unless opening it on another computer or in the browser, but the changes were not there.

had to logout, discard changes and start again.

I’m really happy… not :expressionless:

I am Facing the Same issue. Only one file is not syncing but I can access it on the web.

I got this working again, I just removed the temp files which was hindering the sync of the file online.

For those who are facing this issue or will face this issue when working on heavy files just remove the temp files (in Mac).

How to clear cache on a Mac | Macworld used this link to do so… Just Look for “How to delete application cache files”. (Please make sure you know what will be the effect of doing this)

I experienced this issue today and i was unable to fix the situation in any way…
At some point I had an idea: I tried to copy from the desktop app all the artboards that were still uploading there (and probably causing the unsaved changes error), and I pasted them into the same page of the same document on a browser tab with Figma opened… it worked! I don’t know how, but worked.

Maybe it will work for you too!

피그마는 3년간 같은 문제를 방치하는것이 참 안타깝다. 현재도 이 문제가 발생하여 이 포럼에 들어오게 되었다. 심지어 우리 팀은 유료 플랜을 이용중입니다. 맙소사. 피그마는 유료플랜을 팔기 전에 신중하게 생각했어야한다. 매우 아쉬운 기능.

I am having the same issue, the app on a mac. Files are not syncing and it is adding stress to my day.

Hey All, sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble!

If Gleb and KatieLee’s solutions haven’t helped, can you try the following?

  • logging out and back in
  • clearing your browser/desktop app’s cache

Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on a Mac:

  1. Quit the Figma desktop app
  2. Open Terminal.app and enter the following command: rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma/”{Desktop,DesktopProfile}
  3. Try opening the desktop app again

Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on Windows:

  1. Close the Figma desktop app
  2. Open the Start menu, and paste in this, followed by enter: %APPDATA%\Figma
  3. In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist
  4. Launch the desktop app again

Lastly, try un-installing and re-installing the desktop app.

Let us know if none of the above helps!
