LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

2.5 year later…

For the love of God, a horizontal scroll in the left panel. The panel only opens up to a point and does not show anything else, not even the lock or view icons.

is there any progress with this? it’s a major pain with an easy fix

please ?

@miggi could you consider making this poll a little bit seen amongst your timeline to be voted by others having the same issue ?

Pls support a horizontal scroll in the layers panel.🙏

I couldn’t believe this feature was not there. I thought I was doing something wrong. It seems so obvious. To see that this topic has been open since 2021 is crazy. Please Figma ppl, solve this issue as it makes it impossible to work with complex components.

May I upvote this request by all my fingers and some borrowed ones?
It is really frustrating not seeing the layers when you design complex applications. Horizontal scrollbar would solve this for everyone …

SERIOUSLY! This is a productivity killer for me (us). I’ve been posting about this for well over a year. This seems more like a bug-fix than a feature request since many of us are unable to view/navigate a deep hierarchy of nested components in a fluid (responsive) layout. This isn’t a “nice to have”, more of a “must fix ASAP”…!

Unless I am totally oblivious to some complicated aspect, it seems like a “low hanging fruit” fix to allow for horizontal scrolling in that panel - but I don’t know what I don’t know. This needs to be resolved.

They need one of those old-school Apple™ cycles where they say: “No new features for now, we’re just going to focus on bug-fixes and stability”.… (not holding breath).

I got an idea. I bet, all each other know some fellow designers using Figma. Let’s share this thread with them and ask them politely for upvoting. Maybe we can reach over 1000+ points and somebody at Figma will reconsider the value of this issue.
