How we can access Figma Community more easily

In the newly updated layout, it is very cumbersome to switch back and forth between Figma projects and the community sections (Specifically if you have more than one account logged in at once).

Not only is having to use the dropdown every time cumbersome, but having to select which profile you want to view each time you select community is also slow and confusing.

This forces me to have to select account A or B if I want to view my Figma team home and it forces me to select account A or B if I want to view the community section. Why not have a single profile option selector that applies to both the Figma home and the community?

This requires me, when in a project, to have to hit the home button, then the team dropdown, then community, then the profile I want to use in the community section. That’s a lot of clicks.

PROPOSAL

What if we had a single profile selector that applied to both your team project homepage and your community, and was easily visible and accessible (without being buried behind nested drop-downs)? It could look something like this

Does anyone else have issues with the current setup?

What do you all think of this proposal?

I wanted to mock this up myself as a suggestion, but glad I searched for it.
100% agree with the proposed solution of using some type of tabs to switch between community and your own files.

The current implementation is especially problematic when using multiple accounts.

Yes, this needs to be addressed. I’m tired of searching and resulting in community files rather than my team files. It needs to be simpler. I would even prefer it as a separate browsing experience, because it’s easier to share with my coworkers.
