This would help me organise (merge, divide, archive) files. This would in turn make files more approachable for team members (and clients). It may also go some way to decreasing load times too.

It might also reduce anxiety around potentially loosing connections between properties components etc.

While it is possible to copy/paste content from one document to another, if you do

  • links to frames will break
  • background colours are lost
  • comments are lost
  • history is lost
  • there’s no record (in history, say) of what you did e.g. ‘Danny moved page ‘Signage’ to file ‘All artwork’.‘
  • you get an unpredictable mix of local and external styles

Also, you have to manually create and name destination pages one at a time.

You want to be able to select a bunch of pages and move them all at once.

    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.

    Even i need this feature to better manage the figma files. Currently my files become bigger or lot of design got spilled over to the next release for which it woul be great to move pages within a file to a different file along with comments.  Comments are also important as it serve as history.
