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?

Yes it would be great to have folders and or sub pages! I have the same issue with staying organized

@Moses_Feliz you said it yourself

The split between Pages and Layers on the side panel is a pain.

i do not think @James_Nisbet was disagreeing with you. i think he was disagreeing with Figma and pointing out to you that lets not continue to compromise; lets split the two panels completely and allow them to be used in a more functional manner because “they are two completely different user intents”.

your mockup is excellent, imo, except that the pages panel should not be displayed at all with layers. appropriate context switching can make the user’s job very easy: if the user starts selecting layers on the page they have selected the (!!!important!!! user toggleable control) tab would automatically switch to display the layers.

I do not want infinitely many page levels but a compact group name (and group drag) would be super nice.

What I have tried:
…to indent subpages → I use “└ Name” or " Name", but it feels like a hack - especially when a whole group needs to be moved, the ‘subpages’ do not follow.
… to make groups → I use "- - - N a m e : " as separator but leaves a trail of unused pages.

It’s a really good idea ! Every designer who work on Figma have to do it manually, it’s so much a waste of time. Could be cool to group pages too

I don’t think this is a difficult feature to implement and I don’t know why FIGMA has prioritized this feature so far down the list.

The following picture shows this feature already implemented in Master Go, an online design software from China

Why not can have a add divider when right click on the page?
Because other than using child spacing to organise more users are using hyphen (-----------) to see the pages practically divided with a line instead of page if its been added below or above the line, user can move the divider within the layer panel or can delete the divider, I thought of it more often any people who like this idea??

i’d like to add my support for page folders so that you can organise files in a better way. For example when all the different exploration is done I can dump all the WIP pages into a WIP Folder, create a specific folder for Handoff and put my spec files and assets in there. The ability to share a specific folder with the dev team would be great too, so they don’t get confused with all the other pages in the file.

Probably said, but folders within the page section would be super helpful.

Delivering to devs, we could create folders of one feature but open it and there is multiple versions that they can see.

Currently I have put an emoji of a folder in the page name with lines to divide it from downward, but folders would extremely help.
