Unable to edit main components

Question

I noticed this issue last week, when I tried to edit a main component (icon button in the screenshot). I knew it was a main component (I had created it couple weeks ago and then it worked just fine), but as I tried editing it, it was shown as an instance. I brought the main component from the assets panel (right click -> Edit main component) and it gave me just empty brackets indicating the icon button.

There is no way to "turn up the opacity" or anything like that. When I go to Layers panel, I have all the layers there, but as I click through the elements, they are all invisible.

The prototype I am working on is going to production, and right now I have no way of updating the prototype, unless I do all the edits in every artboard manually.

This also happened to majority of the main components in the file. Some were intact, but only a few.

Version I'm using: 48.0.12, Windows 10 Pro.

No way, I solved it! I found out that I had accidentally created a duplicate artboard. So the artboard with the main components was just underneath this duplicate. I am so glad it was not a bug, just my own mistake. &#128516;

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. In addition to what Ares asked, could you confirm if this is happening on a specific file or multiple files? Will it be possible for you to share the sample file with us?
