When reviewing designs with developers I’m often referencing the layout grid I’m using in the designs, but if the developer has ‘view only’ access they are unable to see the layout grid in the inspect tool. We have been trying to limit edit access to only designers as we have many developers (30+) inspecting our files.
I’d love it if the layout grid was viewable in ‘View Only’ mode in the inspect tool 🙂 It would help bridge the gap between developers and designers even more 🙂
Use cmd/ctrl+G on view-only mode and u will view grids.
No you can’t do it as a viewer. This is a missing feature
Great，it works。Maybe this will help you: find the bottom right corner question icon。 “help and resources”>“Keyboard shortcuts”>“View”>“Layout grids”
I was sincerely shocked this isn’t visible in inspect.
We have a grid system in our CMS. The components are aligned on the grid. We recently shifted from Sketch/Zeplin to Figma. It was a shock that there is no “toggle” for the devs in the inspect mode as it is in Zeplin. 🙏
It’s really a needed feature to have in Figma to be an all in one collaborative platform
Just found a workaround, but this does seem to be a feature bug. If the designer switches all layout grids on for each page in the design, then toggles them off with Shift-G, the the developer with View only access can also now toggle viewing the grid with Shift-G, so it just has to be turned on as visible first by someone with edit access. Surely this is a bug and a view only access person should be able to toggle the grid on their own? The grid is absolutely essential for any developers work.
This is possible
The “view only” user just as to go to the main menu, hover on the view option, and they’ll get an option to toggle on/off the layout grid
You can view the Layout Grid but you can’t see the detailed spec as a developer with view-only access and looking at the inspect tab as far as I can tell.
Quick solution I found is duplicating the project. Then you can inspect the grid in the duplicated version.
Not ideal, but works.
Even Shift+G doesn’t work to show grid in View Only. Tested in multiple browsers 😦
It would be a great addition to the new dev mode!
we need this https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040450513-Create-layout-grids-with-grids-columns-and-rows#Toggle_individual_layout_grids =„toggle of individual layouts“ also in DevMode and in ViewOnly !!
Our devs are asking us if there is a way, with viewer access, to see which layout grid is being used on a frame. It doesn’t look like this is possible with viewer-only. Can we add this feature to their access level or at least get them full access?
