Option to Hide Frame Labels

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

Only root level frames have names, so if you wrap a frame, its label disappears. Here are 2 handy solutions:

Use one or more large frames to wrap everything. Now you have one frame label per section, and all the child frame labels disappear.
Select a frame and CTRL+G to group it, will remove the label from that frame.

I agree, this is annoying. If I wanted visible labels, I could draw them, size them, position them, with the text tool. There should be a preference for “Show/Hide Frame Labels.” (@devs)

I agree on your comment Michael. This is annoying!

I agree, it would be nice to have the option to hide frame names.

Ilya_Abramovitch

Agreed. Extremely annoying that such setting is not available.

I agree, it would be a nice to have feature.

I also agree. An option to hide labels of all kinds (frame, autolayouts, etc.) would be most welcome.

Until two days ago I have never had this problem. Using the same files as before, but now some, but not all, frames are showing their names at all times while I am in design mode. This has to be a bug given that it A. just suddenly appears as an issue for me this week and B. only happens with Some frames, for example three frames that include a “Footer” frame at the bottom display the label, but many other frames in the same page that also show the same “Footer” frame (and are not grouped with their parent frame) do not display the label. This is incredibly distracting and means I can no longer screenshare with clients in this mode. I tried @Michael_Lewis suggestions, thank you for those, but they do not solve this issue for me. Wrapping all frames in larger frames introduces all kinds of layout complications that are a hindrance in the earlier stages of a design. Grouping to remove the frame name just replaces the title I gave the frame, which provides context in the Layers panel, with a meaningless “Frame #5467”, which still stays visible in the working screen. I really hope Figma provides a fix for this asap.
