Same here,
Sometimes using components, the element have more layers.
And when viewer want to select he sometimes selects other elements inside & wrongly export them. Maybe some Lock export icon added to layer. So if parrent group is locked everything under it can’t be selected.

Also this is same for measuring, separate lock option for measuring so it won’t be confused for a viewer what is correct element he need to measure values to, especially when we are using more advance components, variants, etc.

I think the one issue I find with this solution is that we have devs designing for different platforms, and they need different asset types. We’d have to provide each platform its own file type (SVG, PNG, PDF). When an iOS dev uses the Export panel for example, there’s no way for them to filter down to the file type they need. They have to download all file types or spend time unchecking the ones that don’t apply to them.

Why do developers need to see the detailed components to the export option? Holding cmd for export option, it’s really hard to download the correct size of assets. We need some alternative better solutions for this.

There is a simple fix. NAME the main container to be exported as EXPORT, and Just ask them to select the main frame layer named export from the layers panel. You can also use shift and enter to jump out of a frame and select the main container

Buy why? There’s no need to invert that, it’s just confusing.

Current solution for me is to set a fill for the exported frame and make sure the [show in exports] is unchecked, in the meantime lock all elements within the frame, this way in viewer mode even though they clicked on the inner elements, the export panel would still show the outer frame
