Currently, Figma provides version history for files, but there's no way to know when a specific element was added to a file — for example: when was this card added? When was this component placed here? When was this interaction or behavior introduced?
Â
Version history helps you compare states of a file, but it requires manually scrubbing through versions to find when something appeared. It would be very useful to have a per-element timestamp or "date added" metadata, similar to how some tools show creation dates on objects.
Â
This would help teams with:
- Auditing design decisions
- Onboarding new designers to existing files
- Understanding the evolution of a design without digging through history
Â
Is there any existing workaround, or is this something on the roadmap?
