hey Figma fam,

so, we’ve been going on about this for ages, but seriously, when are we getting the “lock guides” feature? it’s 2024, and we’re still nudging guides by mistake 🙄

we all know the drill - you’re in the zone, designing away, and then oops, there goes your guide. it’s like playing a game of ‘spot the difference’ trying to get it back in place. super annoying.

i mean, how many times do we need to ask, right? it’s a no-brainer feature that would make our lives so much easier. locked guides = no more accidental shifts. simple.

let’s give it another shot. maybe if we all shout about it (again), Figma will finally listen and add it to their to-do list. who’s with me?

catch ya later!

Not really a consideration is it? This has been going on for a number of years. We are the the users… Listen.


This is a joke, right?

Yep, seriously can’t believe this isn’t a feature yet. It’s so basic

@y_toku Please, the community has been talking about this for a long time now. Just do a little research on google, it’s everywhere !

I use guides outside of artboards for example to add explainer text below. Locking guides would be very useful in this case, simply adding the function to the menu would work.
