    Hi Everyone,

    This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1. 


    The new functionality allows searching layers by name using the searchbar in the layers panel. The users can also apply filters based on layer properties (locked, hidden etc) or objects properties (effects, text etc.). This will help to quickly find layers/objects for large documents (having multiple layers).

    Quick search for locked objects in the Layers panel

    It would be great if you implement quick search for locked objects. I design dashboards with thousands of objects. Since it is physically impossible to name each one, I usually leave them unnamed. But very often there's a need to lock one or several objects located in different layers of different artboards. And to find them after that is an ordeal. I have to scroll down and up for ages until I found them. Searching for all that are locked can save hours of worktime.
