👋 What’s this?

An auto page numbering plugin for Figma. The plugin adds page number text to the frames automatically based on their position on the canvas.

I designed and coded it myself.

🌱 The Inception

We as a design team, at our company, have to prepare and update the product manual in sync with the release cycle. As some new features get added in certain areas of the product every month, even one page being added in the middle meant an exhausting task of re-numbering all the pages after that.

You could imagine the apprehension we had, when the release cycle of our product approached. We were dreaded when someone uttered the words “Product Manual”.

We always used to search for some tool that could make our lives easier, but the search always ended up in vain. We sat down and manually entered those numbers a few time. But this particular time I couldn’t prepare myself mentally to do this task. That’s what led to inception for this idea.

🚀 Impact

This definitely helped us save a ton of time spent on the mundane task of re-numbering frames and my teammates were super-happy. So I would say it was a time well spent.

I have published it on Figma Community, and 10k+ people are using it so it is helping others too.
