It would be more useful if wherever a file was shown in the dashboard, its project and team was shown underneath it. For example, our structure is often…



  • Team: Client name

  • Project: Capital projects

  • File: Product page redesign


When I add ‘product page redesign’ to my favourites or when seeing it in the recent files list, it’s can be confusing to understand what team or project it’s part of. I’m often lost in a grid of ‘Website Redesign’ files and having to squint at the thumbnails to figure out what file it actually is.


Sure, I could prepend every file with the client name e.g. Client name: Website redesign. But this seems like a poor workaround as it’s repetitive and means that the number of characters that will show the actual file name will be reduced as they are truncated.


Anyone else have this issue?


Thanks

When I get a link to a Figma file, I can see the name of the file, but I have no idea what team the file lives under. When I use the search function, only files show up, never teams. The only way I’ve been able to discover which team corresponds to a file is to open a file, look at the editing history for a designer’s name, then look at the name of the designer, search for that designer’s name, then see a list of what teams that designer is active in, then manually look through each team until I stumble upon the file within one of those teams.


Is there something I’m missing? Why doesn’t Figma show what team a file lives under?

I also have this problem… and somehow the release of the new UI3 does not fix this at all…actually, it made it worse. We used to at least have a “projectname/filename” naming at the top of the screen, but now i have nothing. Just the file name.
