LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

What do you think about having a horizontal scroll on the layers panel? I can’t see the name of the layers and usually widen the panel to be able to see, but since I use a 13", this makes the canvas smaller.

When working with some heavily nested frames sometimes we can’t reach the layer because its too far over to the right.

In webflow this panel can scroll horizontal and helps to see the layers that are out of view

Bump for adjustable right rail width. Please and Thank You 😀

Setting the indent to 4px instead of the current 16px makes it shrink significantly without compromising the appearance of layering

And just changing one style for “overflow-x” is easy enough too

If you change to Dev Mode (upper right, next to Share button), the side panel width is changeable.

how did you do this?

I find it frustrating that we cannot access heavily nested layers via a horizontal scrollbar. I have to manually drag out the sidebar to see nested layers and that feels like such an odd experience for a UX tool. Heavily suggest adding a scrolling feature or plugin.

Seems like this could be an easy fix to be implimented.

Having multiple auto-layouts nested in the layers panel on smaller screens constantly moves the layers to the right side. Creating a need to expand the layers panel to see those layers.

I support your idea, I don’t normally have a large monitor and the company laptop is of a small resolution. I never manage to see all layers, especially when working with DS components.
