As a system analyst, I often walk others through design files to confirm specifications or gather feedback—whether it’s with clients, internal teams, or stakeholders. In Axure, I’m used to having a fixed notes panel on the side—so I can present the screens on the right while referring to key talking points or structured notes on the left (Axure screenshot attached).
This setup has been incredibly helpful during presentations or walkthroughs. It keeps the discussion organized and lets me stay on track without jumping back and forth or losing context.
But in Figma, I constantly find myself dragging the screen around just to switch between designs and notes. Not only does it interrupt my own focus, but it also makes it harder for others to follow along, especially when the screen keeps shifting back and forth. It can be visually tiring and distracting for everyone involved, making the whole session feel less smooth and less clear.
I truly believe a fixed or detachable notes panel would be a huge improvement for anyone who needs to present or discuss design.
Curious to hear if others have the same take on this. Thanks! 🙏
