Our team works on large Figma files for Enterprise Software. We go out of our way to make Figma files easily navigable for Engineers and Designers alike. What we’d like is the ability to organize pages the same way you can group frames and layers.
What we’re really looking for is a basic folder structure to organize our pages. Today, we use the page names and emojis to feign an expanded folder structure:
I think everyone would benefit from this type of organization. However, if the community knows some way of achieving this today, please let me know!
This feature is badly needed! Expandable collapsable folders / groups. Heck you could even throw a little search bar at the top to help get to the page you are looking for.
This is an old post, but I just wanted to share just in case others end up here looking for an answer to this: You can collapse those panels! The key-command to do so is Command + . on a Mac, Ctrl + . on Windows.
I find that it becomes difficult to navigate through my pages when my design file has 10 - 20 pages in it. As a result, I end up creating artificial page groups with fake pages that I rename “-”.
It would be nice if there were a built-in feature that would allow me to organize my pages into groups. Does anyone else feel the same? Tried to find a plugin, but didn’t have any luck.
Gonna go against the grain and say this would be dramatically poor ux. Make a new file in your project if you want a new file… Cramming an entire project into a single file causes load issues and unnecessary weight to a file. This is why projects exist… to house multiple files…
Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
Not sure if that image uploaded, but basically I sometimes want to divide up the pages area to keep my working files away from finals or static versions that I provide to my devs. It’s kinda minor, but is a nice visual separation.
Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
See above.
Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
(e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.
I think I have found a work around, but this minor feature could be helpful. Or maybe how Slack does their groups so we can organize the sidebar how we please. That could be cool.
I guess how do others handle this visual separation of files. (typically I have a working file with all working projects. And a finals file with all that. But this project is big enough. I like to have it all in one file. Excited to hear all your thoughts on this.
I echo everyone’s sentiments here - we would like a way to organize our Pages without using the “empty page” hack. Please, Figma team, consider this request.
Would be a really cool feature, but maybe business as well as structure wise it would not make much sense to do it. Users would create less Team environments this way. Grouped pages would become what is now known as File with Pages inside of it hence transforming the Project environment in a group of projects (equivalent of Team as of now) and, finally, making the Team environment marginal/useless.
Yes, please. Can’t agree more on how useful this feature would be from a project organization point of view. Plus, it could help not just designers but all collaborating partners who need to navigate project details. Could be–no, it will be– a huge win that cuts down on time, confusion, and mess; and levels up in efficiency and ease of use! Looking forward to it!
