Option to Hide Frame Labels

Thank you Michael

How can we make this request go viral… this is the bane of my existence and adding SO MUCH NOISE to all things I design…Why is this not a quick toggle to see/not see these labels… It’s borderline triggering to both sides of my brain. @Figma please fix this lightweight (for your ENG team) critical improvement STAT.

Surprised to see such a basic option missing in an otherwise good app.

On the other hand, it would be nice if this option could also force labels to show even when frames are within frames. Would make it easier to create component libraries that way.

so helpful, thanks!

The problem with adding them inside other frames, or groups is you can’t share links to frames within frames. So if I have a mockup for a load of screens and want them all inside a group/frame to a) group them to make moving them easy and b) hide their labels, I can no longer link directly to one of the frames. This is also a very strange problem to have

It should be easy to have a simple view option in the top right to toggle frame labels. As a DESIGN tool, this should not insist on making me hack around with groups to hide a software attribute. The layout a designer is working on needs to be viewed pristine. A simple view toggle would do the trick.

Due to frames being so integral to figma structure, it’s not realistic to need group wrappers. This is actually an odd evolution of figma now: you have groups and frames and both are very similar, but not quite. Oddly enough, “unframing” something is done by “ungroup” command.

Agreed. Hope will come out soon.

Still nothing an year later?

My designs were very fine until yesterday! Now some sub-frames decide to revolt and start showing the display names?! Frankly, not all sub-frames show their names. Only a few. And indeed, this is quite annoying.
