Lately I’ll be looking in my right bar to change a property, and I keep scanning and can’t find it. Then I realize it’s hidden under a “Show more properties” button – aaargh!


I’m guessing maybe you’ve done this to avoid the UI feeling overwhelming, but for intermediate and advanced users, it’s frustrating to have: 1) an extra click, and 2) an unpredictable/changing UI. (Not sure it’s actually beneficial for beginner users either.) So maybe there could be a setting to never show that? Or you use AI to detect if a user is novice? Or just kill the button for everyone? 👺

Your component has the “Simplify all instances” option enabled. Turn it off.

Okay now I feel stupid 😅 but thank you, tank666!

This has been mentioned in Option to never see "Show more properties" button , but it was closed, but I think its still relevant.


In my case I’m seeing the "show more properties regardless of whether a component has “simplify all instances” enabled.


Basically every time I select a text layer and I havent in a while, UI3 assumes that I don’t want to edit the actual text properties. Once I expand the properties once, it keeps that setting in memory for a few minutes, and then forgets that I use text styles.


I’d like to always want to show these properties.
