This is the Figma web browser version. How do I turn off these giant thumbnails?

They suddenly started showing up and take up so MUCH vertical space. 😭

Hi ​@Willow_Shelley, thanks for reaching out! 

I understand the frustration here. Layer previews are only visible when you’re in Figma Draw. Just toggle to Design, Motion, or Dev Mode from your bottom toolbar. 


Hope this helps explain! ​​​​​​​
