Open community files with 1 click

Figma - Hear me out

Can we please make opening community files faster? Opening any community file requires 3 clicks. Every file takes at least 4 to 5 seconds to load up, with heavier files taking even longer.

As a user, I find myself in two situations when navigating community files:

  1. I’m browsing and want to open several files at once directly from the community search results.
  2. I know exactly what I’m looking for, I know what the thumbnail of the file looks like OR who the author is, but I still have to go through the detailed view before accessing the file.

Hey @Mazin, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Figma Community.

I understand and I appreciate your feedback. I’ll pass your feedback along to our team. We’re excited to see how our community responds to your idea.

Thanks once again for sharing your thoughts and please don’t forget to vote on it.

Great idea! I would also add that it would be nice to open the file in view-only mode so you can poke around or just copy the parts you need and then you can duplicate it to your files if necessary.

This way your files wouldn’t be cluttered with the duplicates of community files. Currently without duplicating the file it’s hard to see if the file is worth using or not in the first place.
