Folders/Sub Folders/Group Pages

Page dividers or spacing? 🤔 Cause this hack to use a page to fake it is in 99% of all Figma files I’m in.

Does anyone else experience this?

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…

Often you need to create a compact structure of pages, divided into, for example, desktop and a mobile version of the interface.

Now we have to create a structure by creating empty pages, symbolizing the “headings” of sections, and then creating more pages with “subsections”.

Surely someone else is experiencing the same problem.

  1. 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.

  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
  • See above.
  1. 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.

This will be a BIIIG Feature and Improvement Espacially for our work on Design System Files.

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.

Figma teams, this should have been addressed earlier… really a MUST HAVE!!!

This feature would be really really great to have.
It´s a mess to organize multiple routes and subroutes only with pages.

In case there should be a hold up to this feature due to some business decision, only make it available for paying members!

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!
