LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

Hello,

I’m using a layout with multiple layers and want to select the deepest one and hide it or lock it or change the name. The width of the left column does not increase and there is no horizontal scroll bar either.

How do I edit these layers?

Figma interface has two really wide side panels, which is very problematic for smaller screens, like laptops. No working space left and you have to zoom out to be able to see wider layouts.
Figma side panels should be collapsable or adjustable.
Thanks!

@Josh Did the dev team really had no second to work on such a basic QoL improvement in the past 2 years? It’s a software breaking issue. Aren’t Little Big Updates made for that?

What’s the deal with the bug that’s been around for two years now? It’s ridiculous that despite so many people reporting it, it still hasn’t been fixed.

This is a UX design app, and we can’t even see the layers – why can’t we horizontal scroll or stretch it to see all the layer names?

This isn’t just a feature request, it’s a legitimate bug that’s affecting our productivity and making the app frustrating to use. Please, can you fix it already?

This does not solve the problem at all. It’s the same thing as collapsing the hierarchical expand/collapse widget… you’re just hiding the nested objects.

The issue (and it’s a big one), is if one uses dynamic nested layouts with “auto-layout” Frames in order to build dynamic mockups — where you can show/hide elements and the UI adjusts in real-time — the indentation grows deeper and deeper as you build your screens.

As illustrated in numerous screenshots above, you get to a point where you are unable to view the structure and/or names of elements in your project. You cannot drag elements through the hierarchical layers because you do not know what you are selecting and/or where you’re dragging & dropping… it is (literally) unusable when creating dynamic layouts using hierarchical auto-layout frames several layers deep.

PLEASE allow the left frame to scroll horizontally…!!!
