Please bring back individual frame editing feature on Figma Buzz

Want to second all of this ^ Buzz has lost its primary purpose for our team of being user friendly for non-design colleagues with this new update. The Bulk Edit feature has it’s use for sure, but I don’t think it should replace the individual frame editing capabilities. It feels very clunky and confusing for what our team needs.

Is there anyway we can get some sort of confirmation that you are actually working on this and not just postponing it indefinitely…

It is SUPER frustrating and confusing to even power users let alone clients who hardly know the difference between a gif and a baguette. 

Hi ​@audra.f and ​@o-s.studio, thanks for sharing your thoughts and for explaining how this change has affected your workflows.

I really appreciate your patience while waiting for an update. I understand that many of you preferred the previous individual frame editing workflow, and I've shared all of your feedback from this thread with the team.

To be as transparent as I can, at this time there aren't any current plans to bring back the previous individual frame editing workflow. That said, if anything changes in the future, we'll be sure to update this thread.

Thank you all again for taking the time to share your feedback and experiences. We really appreciate you continuing to let us know how these changes impact your workflows 🙏

Please bring back the previous Edit Content panel. I’m sure the Bulk Edit is valuable in specific scenarios but it would be best if the user can choose which way they want to edit.

I second what everyone else has said in here. Not only is the removal of a user friendly UI for non-design teams short-sighted at best. The bulk edit is so horribly thought through that it makes the whole tool pointless. I’d rather just make the assets myself for the marketing team.

Every single layer shows up, cosmetic or field. We can’t hide them from the template level so I have to teach my marketing team how to hide them if they want to be able to use an excel sheet that scrolls right to eternity. Because it doesn’t even display on the top or bottom half of the screen, it was made to scroll horizontally but to appear on a narrow panel on the left. Not above or below the preview.

Having layout options is also pointless because that’s the one thing we can’t make that change on bulk mode. We have to leave bulk mode, but suddenly when we come back, every single column we hid is visible again.

Why did you do this? Why even invest in buzz to do this?

We have now stopped using buzz due to this bulk upload feature and switched to Canva as it was becoming extremely difficult for marketing team to work here. Its already been months and I don’t think they are going to bring this back, thankyou for ruining a good tool :(

it was essential to our workflow now its gone. bring it back please

Hi All, thank you for taking the time to add your experiences here!

I completely understand how this change has made your work harder. I want to give you a clear answer rather than keep you waiting on one. We've raised this thread with the Buzz team more than once, and I'm not in a position to tell you that individual frame editing is coming back. I don't have a timeline to share, and I don't want to suggest one may be coming when I can't stand behind it. I'd encourage you to plan your team's workflows around what's available in Buzz today rather than waiting on this returning.
 

The closest option available now is switching to Asset view in the left sidebar, which lets you edit assets directly on the canvas without going through Bulk Edit. I know it isn't the panel you had, but it avoids the bulk workflow entirely.

Hello! Would like to file a complaint here as well. Before it was easy for our Marketing team to use these components but it has since become incredibly difficult. The individual ‘edit content’ feature was so helpful for the team and more user-friendly. Why did Figma make this change? I can see little to no benefit from a UX perspective. 

Hi! Adding another user experience here! It’s become extremely cumbersome for our marketing team to edit assets without the individual edit content panel. That panel made things so intuitive by exposing labels for what needed to be edited, and we could put useful instructions in those exposed labels. Please bring this back!
