I really like this idea… I find it frustrating to have to keep going in and out of every component. I think a view like this would help the flow and make it faster to make updates and add components.

I also find it very frustrating that we can’t just swap out components. Some components share a lot of things are just a different display. It would be nice to just be able to swap/replace them with another component instead of having to delete it and create a new one. (Think check box vs toggle)

will you allow us to drag-move tables the same way we can drag-move the components/tabs/menus? i think it’s just one step away giving the same results from the auto-sort sheet feature.

I’m quite sure there is a feature request for this, although I’m struggling to find it right now. If I can find it, I’ll drop a link here (or maybe somebody else will)

Edit: I think this is the one… (@everys it was created by you)

I’ve been testing the old version and the new version on a tablet, and neither scroll works.  
Everything works perfectly on the computer, excellent work.

Is it possible to reverse the name of the component (“Text”) and the name customize?

To have a logical follow-up to the display.

I think the new builder is not showing the Sync Errors if it occurs, the one with the exclamation mark and showing you what should be removed to continue the sync

@Jason Yeah…can this be an option? I MUCH prefer the greyscale icons. Just like we can change between light and dark mode, can we also change between simple and bold theme?

Full transparency, I’m colorblind, so the vibrant colors actually look muddled.

I will alert the chief figma officer that there is a request to tone down the unicorn vomit.

</div>

did someone find the show icons only on tabs? for some reason I can’t find it, do we stil have this option?

also, @Jason can you add the icon to the tabs list? In many cases I only works with the icons and without names at all and then I get this view

Why do your tabs not have names? What is the purpose of that?

in many cases design wise I prefer not to show any title on the top screen as in it will move left on andoroid and for hebrew speakers that’s confiusing. I prefer to put a text or rich text component which I can control.  
even when un-checking the “show tabs name” you still see it on the title page.

I see. I’d like to talk with you more about this in the future so I can get a better idea how to make this better for your users. Hopefully we can find some time in a week or two.
