When working with both Design view and Figma Make view, editing local components becomes difficult and noticeably slow in Design view especially while typing or making text-level edits.
If I’m exploring or generating an idea in Figma Make and then switching to Design view to refine it or prepare a handoff, working inside the same local component across both views feels friction-heavy. Text input and real-time edits lag significantly, which disrupts the flow of iteration. Performance drops and context switching makes it hard to work efficiently.
This becomes especially challenging during handoff, when ideas generated in Make need to be quickly refined, adjusted, or structured in Design. The slowdown during typing inside shared local components makes even small refinements feel cumbersome and breaks momentum.
Suggestion / opportunity:
A smoother interaction between Design and Make when editing local components particularly improving typing and text-editing performance or a clearer separation/optimization of component editing performance would greatly improve workflows that rely on ideation in Make and execution in Design.
