It would be great if the Layer and Properties Panels were adjustable because they get in the way of me seeing the artboard/screens that I am working on. Another thingĀ is that when I close these panels, I can no longer see the comments that include feedback or edits that need to be made on my screens. Because of this, in one view I can see the comments and everything, but can barely get to the screens on the artboard to do anything about it and on the other, I can see the full artboard, but not the comments. Both options areĀ frustrating, especially sinceĀ I’m just trying to make some edits.Ā 

Therefore, I suggest making the Layer and Properties Panels adjustable so that they don’t get in the way and allowing the comments to be visible even when the panels are collapsed.Ā

Hi @Stephanie Cyrill,

Yes, the Layer & Properties panel collapse feature is not available, which can sometimes be a bit inconvenient. However, there is a workaround in Figma. You can use the keyboard shortcutĀ Ctrl + \Ā to show/hide the Layers & Properties panel. This might be helpful for you too.

Yeah, I do that to see my work, but in the process, the comments that other users have made are hidden, which usually house the edits that I need to make as well.Ā
