The experience of Move to Page can be frustrating and inefficient. That's because when a user moves a frame/section to another page:
- there is no immediate feedback to where the element was placed
- user must manually go to the page and search for the moved element
- often, the element is placed using the same absolute coordinates, and that can result in it being placed on top of other elements
This creates unnecessary hassle, especially in large files with many sections, frames and components.
I can think in 3 possible solutions for this problem, I hope my suggestions can help y'all (and myself!):
- Auto-navigate after moving: after using Move to Page, automatically switch to the destination page and bring the moved frame into view, allowing the user to immediately position it (similar behavior in Apple Finder).
- Smart placement instead of absolute coordinates: instead of preserving exact x y coordinates, place the moved frame in a visible empty area, or far from existing content to avoid overlap
- Optional toast with quick action: display a confirmation toast after moving, such as “Moved to page X [Go to Page]". This gives users quick control without forcing navigation.
That's all! Thank you for your great work 💛
