figma weave zeroheight plugin sync failed

Uploading AI-generated UI frames from Figma Weave into zeroheight can sometimes result in a "Sync Failed" warning or request timeout. This error generally occurs when Weave creates unnamed component instances, invalid color style tokens, or nested frame structures that exceed zeroheight's sync payload limits.

Quick checks

• Verify that your zeroheight account has active edit permissions for the target styleguide.
• Ensure your zeroheight Figma plugin is authorized with a valid access token.
• Check if Figma Weave is missing from the Figma editor due to a workspace permission reset.

1. Rename AI-generated layers and frames: Figma Weave frequently exports layers with generic titles or system IDs (like "AI_Frame_9021"). Zeroheight parser rules may reject non-standard naming schemes. Rename your primary frames before initiating a sync.
2. Detach unlinked or broken color tokens: Weave generation can produce inline color values instead of linked design system tokens. Convert raw hex codes to valid local color styles or detach broken components so zeroheight can index the file correctly.
3. Ensure Weave generation is complete: If Figma Weave is not generating cleanly or has left background rendering jobs active, zeroheight will fail to read canvas properties. Wait until all generation progress indicators disappear.
4. Sync frames in smaller batches: Instead of syncing an entire multi-screen Weave layout at once, select 1 to 2 frames at a time and trigger the zeroheight sync. This prevents API timeout limits on heavy vector assets.
5. Re-authenticate the zeroheight plugin: Open the zeroheight plugin modal inside Figma, disconnect your account, and re-login to ensure token expiration isn't blocking payload transfers.

Still stuck?

If zeroheight sync continues to fail on all AI-generated screens, check whether Figma Weave is down or unreachable or if Figma's background plugin bridge is degraded. You can also try copying your Weave frames into a fresh Figma file to purge any hidden corrupt canvas metadata.
