How to Fix "Figma Not Syncing Changes"
When Figma doesn’t sync changes, it can disrupt collaboration, especially for teams.
The first step is to check your internet connection.
A weak or intermittent connection can cause syncing issues.
Ensure you’re connected to a stable network and refresh Figma by reloading the page or restarting the desktop app.
If your connection is stable and the issue persists, it could be related to Figma’s cloud service.
Check Figma’s status page to see if there are any server-side issues affecting syncing.
Another potential cause is a browser or desktop app problem.
Try clearing your browser’s cache or reinstalling the desktop app to eliminate any corrupted data.
If you are using a desktop app, try switching to the web version of Figma to see if the problem persists.
It's also important to check if you have multiple Figma files open or other devices syncing simultaneously.
In such cases, syncing issues can occur due to overload.
Try closing unused tabs or ensuring you're logged in on only one device at a time.
Additionally, review the file permissions and collaborators.
If the file is restricted or you do not have editing permissions, syncing changes may be blocked.
If you're part of a team, check with the owner or admin to ensure you have the appropriate access level.
Finally, if none of these solutions work, try exporting the design and importing it into a new file to see if the issue is isolated to the specific project.
This can help identify if the problem lies with the file or with Figma itself.
