Organize your sidebar with custom sections

Use custom sections to organize your sidebar and group relevant workspaces*, teams, projects, and files together for easy access.

Adding or removing items from your sidebar won’t change their location in Figma. Any sections you create are only visible to you and won't affect what your teammates see.

*Workspaces are only available on the Enterprise plan.

Create a custom section

1. From the file browser, hover over the name of an existing section and click the plus icon.
2. Give the section a name.

Add items to a custom section

From the file browser

1. From the file browser, navigate to a workspace, team, project, or file.
2. Click the star icon.

From within a file

You can add a Figma design or FigJam file to a section without leaving the file.

1. Deselect all layers by clicking on an empty space on the canvas.
2. Click the menu next to the filename at the top of the screen.
3. Hover over Add to sidebar and select a section.

Reorder your custom sections

You can change the order of sections in your sidebar and the items within each section. Click on the name of the section or item and drag where you want it to go.

Hide or show items in a custom section

You can hide or show the items in a custom section by toggling the open and close arrows next to the section name.
