Move an existing Page in a Design document to another Design document

I’ve recently worked on a design in a FY 24/25 Q4 document that still needs implementing, and that quarter/year is now over (for us, I’m aware that other orgs use different dates) so I want to:

  • Create a new FY25/26 Q1 design document
  • Move (not copy) the page from the FY 24/25 Q4 design document into the new Q1 document
  • Achieve the above in as few inputs as possible

I would ideally expect to be able to right-click the page in the Pages panel, select “Move page to another document” and either choose an existing document or create a new one (naming & choosing its location in the process)

However this route doesn’t exist, the choices are only “Copy link to page”, “Rename page”, “Duplicate page” and “Delete page”, none of which help me - I can’t even Copy the page and Paste it into a new document!

Suggest this is a pretty obvious missing feature, would be relatively easy to implement, and alongside the “Move page to another document” feature there should be a “Copy page to another document” which does exactly what it suggests.

    PS - probably should have posted this as a “Conversation” rather than a “Question” (admin by all means change it) but it’s not really of those two choices offered to me, and the microcopy “Start a conversation, ask a question or share your idea” suggests that there was a third option that was taken away, I suggest it should be brought back.

    I need the same functionality but of different reason.

    I am working on a very complex product where design and development started eight years ago.

    The Figma content structure is as follows:

    • Project = product
      • File = major branch of functionality
        • Page = the change or improvement defined in a single user story

    There are about 20 major branches of functionality, but several thousand user stories, which means I’ve ended up with several hundred pages in some of the files. This is of course demanding on memory usage.

    What I would like is to have the following structure

    • Project = product
      • File A = unresolved user stories within a major branch of functionality
        • Page = the planned change or improvement defined in a single unresolved user story
      • File B = archived user stories within a major branch of functionality
        • Page = the already implemented change or improvement already defined in a single user story

    And as the user stories are resolved I would like to easily move the pages from file A to file B.

    I did a quick-fix by duplicating the files and deleting those already resolved in the “active” file, but this does not cover all aspects:

    • I break the links in the Jira issues connected to the deleted pages, so if someone needs to go back and check something regarding resolved stories, they will not be able to locate it unless I update the link in the Jira story.
    • If I redo this process, I will end up with a lot of archive files instead of just one.
