Framer has added folder support to Design Pages, a small but practical update aimed at users managing larger projects with multiple explorations, drafts, and asset collections.
The feature allows designers to group related work into folders directly within the Design Pages sidebar. According to Framer's update page, it's particularly useful for organizing assets like social images, favicons, icons, and mockups alongside active site work, helping keep the sidebar tidy as ideas accumulate.
Addressing clutter as projects scale
Design Pages in Framer function as a workspace for drafts and experiments separate from live site pages. Without folders, users working on complex projects or testing multiple design directions could end up with a cluttered sidebar, making it harder to locate specific explorations or reference files.
The folder structure addresses this by letting users compartmentalize work. A team building a multi-page site with supporting graphics, for example, can now keep hero image variants in one folder, iconography in another, and alternate layout experiments in a third. It's a workflow improvement more than a feature expansion, aimed at maintaining clarity as project scope grows.
Context within Framer's recent updates
This update arrives as Framer continues expanding its AI-powered design capabilities. The platform recently upgraded to Sonnet 5 with 90% accuracy and introduced features like automated responsive layout generation. As those AI-driven workflows produce more iterations and variations, the ability to organize Design Pages becomes more important.
For users leveraging Framer's Agent to generate multiple page versions or create brand guides, folders provide a way to keep generated assets separate from manually crafted work, or to archive older explorations without deleting them.
Availability and user impact
The folder feature is live now across all Framer plans. Users can create folders by right-clicking in the Design Pages sidebar or using a menu option. There's no stated limit on folder depth or nesting, though the interface appears optimized for a single level of hierarchy based on the announcement.
While not a headline feature, folder support reflects the kind of incremental UX polish that matters for professionals using Framer as a primary design tool. It won't change how Design Pages work fundamentally, but it removes friction for users who previously relied on naming conventions or manual sorting to stay organized.
For teams collaborating on larger sites or agencies juggling client work, the update provides a straightforward way to impose structure on what can quickly become a chaotic workspace.
