Hello, I really would love a setting that would make the new layers, freshly duplicated layers, etc, appear downwards - on the bottom of the list if nothing is selected or underneath the currently selected layer. In other words, to change the general direction of layer stacking - to go from top to bottom, instead of bottom to top only, as of now.
This is very logical, isn’t it? We create pages in figma and they go from top to bottom, most designs are created from top to bottom, most content flows from top to bottom. Then why do layers go freaking upwards?
Hello. I would like to support topic starter and confirm that I have to manually move duplicated layers to the top every time a new duplicate is created. Figma is almost 100% perfect tool in its niche but the new-at-the-top schema is simply totally user unfriendly. I really do not know any other app which has layers that would put new layers at the top…
@Josh What’s the status of this? This would be my number one request in terms of saving time and effort in reordering layers. An option in Settings to choose “Duplicate Layer Down” would be a massive efficiency improvement to my workflow
This has to be my biggest issue with using Figma. Why not have the new layer you just created appear sequentially above the last layer you have created. or at least in the same art board or folder? Makes no sense sending it all the way to top, not intuitive at all.
This is also one of my biggest annoyances, as someone who tries to keep their layers organized this single feature would save a lot of time spent re-organizing things!
Hi, has this been changed? In the month I’ve used Figma, I’m overall very happy with it, except for this one quirk. It’s not intuitive and wastes time.
