Add a name for each divider

Great to see the addition of dividers. Would really love the ability to add a name for each divider, because this still doesn’t solve the issue where we need to create an empty page titled “{Section Name}” to call out what the divider is actually dividing.

+1 - this would really help with design library organization, especially if the Divider/section/whatever they’d be called also were represented in the Component Folder structure.

I have the issue where it makes it easier to navigate the file itself if you have more pages, but easier to navigate the components in another file if you have fewer pages. An additional level of structure would alleviate this, and dividers would be a great visual way of adding that.

Is the feature for adding names to page dividers currently in A/B testing? I noticed that one of my files suddenly showed indentation, and one of the layer names was bolded. After testing, I found that the indentation occurred because one of our previous names was recognized as a divider: “——●Divider’s Name●——.”

I really like this effect; it perfectly suits my needs. However, I haven’t been able to replicate this effect in other files.

So, I’d like to know if this feature is currently in testing, or if the file needs to meet specific conditions for this to work? If it’s in testing, when can we expect a full rollout of this feature?

Is there a way to overwrite the line break? Sometimes I just want a blank space

Where are we with the addition of adding labels to dividers?
This just seemed a natural progression with dividers, surprised Figma didn’t think of it…

So if 3 dashes equals a divider (—), then I suggest 3 dashes with a label would be a labelled divider (— Label)

I tried “— [text] —” today and it WORKED! but only on one of my files.

Is it under testing?

same thing: this method works with some of the files and with their copies
i desperately need to get this to my library files, but it doesnt work for them

well, you can use a workaround: find one of them > create branch > clear content inside the branch > save branch as copy > copy this file as a template for all future projects
