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.
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.
