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...
