Hi Figma team,

 

I’d love to see more ways to organize tabs in Figma desktop app.

 

I often have 10–15 tabs open, but I’m usually only actively working in 1–2 files and frequently jumping into a few design systems. The rest of the tabs are useful, but mostly for quickly checking something.

 

When many tabs are open, it becomes hard to find the files I actually use all the time. It would be great to have more control over tabs — for example, pinning important files, marking current working files, grouping tabs, or showing design systems as compact icons instead of regular full-width tabs.

 

Right now tabs feel a bit like browser tabs: they are just open, but I can’t really organize them around my workflow. Some simple customization would make it much easier to navigate between active files, design systems, and reference files.

 

Thanks!
