Layer Management in Figma Slides

Why is there no view for managing layers in Figma Slides? Maybe there is, but it’s tough to find. I suppose I was expecting a layers panel on the left somewhere, where I could flip between seeing my slides and the layers. Without it, we’re losing a key reason of why Figma Slides would be a better alternative than using Google Slides.

Hey @Mitchell_Opatowsky, sorry for the confusion!

The Slides team recently launched a Design mode shortcut (Shift +D), which should toggle your layers panel on/off, as needed.

Awesome! This works and is a huge help. The shortcut is great too

Well the Layer panel do show up ONLY if you have something selected. Otherwise it is still hidden, very annoying...

Using Figma since 2018.
