While attempting to manage components for use in our Figma Slides Templates, we’ve found that you’re essentially unable to view the layers panel unless they are moved into a slide, which then means this “components” slide is surfaced as a Slide Page Template.
Steps to reproduce:
- Enter Design Mode
- Create a component with multiple variants defined (icons with multiple variants)
- Enter the Grid View
- Drag the Master Component with variants off a slide into the stage.
- Notice the Layers panel disappears.
Expected behavior:
I should be able to house master components, variants, etc without publishing them. Ideally this is a self contained canvas for organizational purposes, but even if they simply live on the stage, these layers should behave like all layers regardless of context. The Layers panel should appear.
