+1 here too!

This is really crucial to merge different files or just moving one page from one file to another. +

I know that developing tools like slides and AI is flashy and makes for slick announcements at Config, but please please give the people the important-but-not-sexy functionality they need: the ability to reorganize pages into different files without breaking links or losing version/comment history.

Agile teams regularly don’t have the runway to think a few years into the future, so I know we’re far from alone in having files that need to be much more thoroughly organized now than they did when they were initially created — please stop leaving us in a lurch, my fine Figma folks 🙏

I have a Figma project with separate files for each main area of functionality, where each Jira-story is a separate page. For the most part there is no performance issues, but as the product has been in constant development for about eight years, some of the functioanlity areas has a lot of Jira-stories, and hence a lot of Figma pages. I would really like the ability to move the pages related to old Jira-stories to an “archive” file, to enhance performance.

I had this same issue. I duplicated the file(s) and renamed them. Then I used the Delete Multiple Pages plugin to remove all the pages that I didn’t need in the new file. Then, you can just delete the pages from the initial file since you now have an archive with all comments.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been following this thread and built a plugin that solves part of this problem: Comments Mover

🔗 https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1563568797363678258/comments-mover-pages-coming-soon

Current features:

  • Bulk transfer comments between files
  • Preserves original author names

Coming soon: Full page movement feature (moving pages + all content + comments in one action)

How it works now:
1. Duplicate your file (to preserve page structure)
2. Use plugin to transfer comments from original to duplicate
3. Delete unwanted pages from each file

I know this isn't the complete solution yet - moving entire pages with all content/comments/prototypes is the goal. But for now, this helps with the comment migration part that many of you mentioned.

Pricing:

  • 2 FREE transfers to try
  • Code **WELCOME** for 15% off

Working on the full pages feature next! 🚀

Keeping this alive.

 

Is it so hard to enable a “Move page to another file” feature, to help us with the super annoying “Recovery mode” because of memory usage?

 

You give us low memory to work with on each file, but also don’t give us options to help split the file? WTF?

+1 I understand why the comments thing creates a slew of issues but still can’t believe this isn’t a feature

But that is only a quick fix. Any incoming links are broken, in my case from each Jira story, so you need to reconnect those either on archived or on new stories. Also, further down the road you will need to do the same again, and end up with multiple archive files and one active file for the same part of the product.
