Push the topic! Even Variables Beta has this feature! 😉


Not sure if this feature already exists, but it would be great to have subpages in Figma. I work with 4 different products and many flows over lap between products. I would love to create sub-pages within my pages to organise the future content better


I agree this feature would be super helpful. I work in-house on a team where we’re constantly sharing with other teams; the sharing process would be smoother if we had more control over organizing our pages.

Yes please this would be awesome! Working from a design system pov. Being able to split the main component with its specs, guidance, etc and having them in a sub-page/folder structure would make it WAY easier to read and comprehend

Hey All, thanks for your feedback and your patience!

Dividers were launched today! 🚀

Don’t worry - we’ll keep this topic open until the team has the bandwidth to tackle folders next, stay tuned!

Figma should allow Pages to be grouped/nested and collapsable

I preferred the pages to be a dropdown list


Would be great to visually group pages into something collapsible. This way we could reduce the amount of pages and scroll to this “pages group”.

@dvaliao

While dividers are somewhat nice, could you explain why Figma chose that approach to solving a problem which is well described here (with visuals and with proposed solutions) ended up with dividers rather than grouping of pages in folders?

Yes, dividers makes pages a bit more distinguishable, but we could already achieve that with ---------- even though it was less pretty than actual dividers.

What is the reason to not give us what we’re asking for in terms of grouping pages in folders?

Hey @Lars_Jansen, thanks for the feedback!

We hear you. Ultimately, it came down to the fact that dividers were a relatively lower lift to build and launch. As I mentioned, grouping pages and folders are still on our radar, but to be transparent, it’ll take longer for our team to launch.


@dvaliao thank you for taking your time to monitor our feedback and responding to it quickly 🙂 Very much appreciated.

This is something that the community have been rather vocal about for many years though, and I would question why such a fundamental feature has not been prioritized in the product roadmap for all of the years the community has been asking for this…

You’re welcome, @Lars_Jansen.

I completely understand. This request has been a popular one in our community since 6 months before I even joined Figma!

While my team here on the forum continuously hands off these popular feature requests, product teams have final control over what they want to prioritize and build. We have the most eyes on anything +750 votes, so considering that this feature is among the top 5 in the community - there is hope! 🤞

The new page dividers are nice… much better looking than the empty page approach many of us have been using. However, a simple horizontal rule lacks the context our former approach offered us. I would love to see nested pages in addition to these dividers to allow for cleaner file organization to communicate the context for the items in a given group of pages.

@Lars_Jansen

Figma doesn’t prioritize this feature not because they can’t provide this functionality of course, I assume they doing this to not encourage users to created nested treeeeees in files because they are not able to handle a good performance)) They can’t handle a good performance even now, not speaking of trees of pages with this potential feature

A better solution is to allow users to create another level of folders inside a project, that’s a good alternative

Performance - the eternal problem of Figma

In large design systems like ours, managing hundreds of components is becoming increasingly difficult. The ability to group components by purpose or category and make them collapsible would be a game-changer, significantly improving organisation and usability.

Figma, we urgently need this feature. It was first raised back in 2021, and it’s crucial for supporting designers effectively. Please prioritise this enhancement to help streamline our workflows.

Hello, organising Figma file is hard, we need to group some Figma and FigJam file per releases, therefore it would be great to be able to create folders inside existing folders. Every project and teams are different, this will fit any needs.


It is nice to see the work with the new UI, resize-able popup menus instead of frames, moving the taskbar to the bottom (although not make it moveable to the annoyance of many users) …

But this actually useful feature (collapse-able pages) that is discussed since 2021 … still no update?

Maybe Figma team should double check their priorities and actually USE the software more instead of just looking at it. 😉

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but it is very frustrating …

Is there any timeline for the release of a collapsible page organization system?


roccolonial

even showing “sections” of a page on the page hierarchy/navigation would be a great short-term win.


Lucas_Barros

Add dividers to the flows for better organization of the process.

So this happened and i have no idea how or why, but i like it. Those are both pages.


VND_Clark_Alan

It’s great that we can now add natural dividers within the page structure but it would be even better if you could create hierarchies or expandable sections within the pages section.

For example, if you had a file that consisted of designs, research and misc for example, you may want multiple pages like this:

Designs
Desktop
Mobile webapp
iOS

Research
For testing
Competitor analysis
Market

Misc
Cover
Background information

This would provide a page hierarchy that would be much easier to use and more focussed, especially as a file grows over time.


Emily_Howkins_Lange

Yes, or allow for text headers in the new ‘separator’ pages.


Sumit_Chavan

Here is the tutorial, with the plugin, you can quickly create child pages or subpages in Figma.

A while ago, I discovered a way to transform a page into a title to better organize my grouping of work areas. By simply adding a space before the title, the page became static (not clickable unless clicked twice) and displayed in bold. It was a great improvement—I could group pages with clear titles and dividers, which made everything much more organized!

I quickly updated the structure of all my active projects, and my clients loved the change. It made it much easier for them to identify and navigate work areas.

However, the pages I had set as titles have now suddenly turned into dividers as well. Why was this changed? It was such a simple and effective way to organize things. Did this happen to anyone else?

Now, every project I’m working on has double dividers, and I need to go through and clean up all the files again.
