Background
I am trying to build a mini wikipedia like website with lots of cross-linked articles.

Problem
While I work in CMS editor, Figma Sites tab becomes very laggy, because of frames updating with things from CMS.

Proposed solution
I feel like we could have a CMS editor separate from graphic editor.

That could make editing experience faster,

That Figma could also include this CMS editor in the Collab seat, as I have seen at my main workplace the need of analysts for such functionality (they want to edit texts, but full seat is too powerful and expensive for their needs).

 

Or maybe this CMS editor could be as is now, but the graphic editor would not update frames, until you leave the CMS editor mode.

It is for Figma’s great developers and designers to deside.

 

So, what do you think, Figmates? Is it a good idea?
