I’m having an issue of seeing the full design while using the browser version. When I go to work on separate boards the content inside of others disappears. Not too sure what the issue is I would love some help! ![IMG_0153](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/d/d6c6a1822fbeb6662acada914140edc90ea2346e.jpeg) The content on board 2 should be showing, but since I’m hovering over board 1 nothing shows. When I hover my cursor over board 2 content on board 1 will then disappear ---

Hey @kellen this is a known issue due a issue with the thumbnails. The Performance team is working on fixing it and other improvements in this area: > [@Not a roadmap! Recent, current, and 2025 initiatives](https://community.penpot.app/t/not-a-roadmap-recent-current-and-2025-initiatives/7375#p-12817-new-render-engine-12): > > What’s Penpot working on and what’s coming next? A roadmap lays out a series of steps to reach a goal, each becoming a commitment. However, when innovating, commitments can be tricky. You’re exploring uncharted territory, filled with uncertainty. Context can shift in a heartbeat, and we learn as we go, which also means that our ideas evolve. Trying to stick to commitments in this environment is an unnecessary recipe for frustration. So, instead of calling this a roadmap, thi… ---

Unfortunately that doesn’t work for my purposes. I’d like to be able to view all my boards while working on a separate one. The only work around I’ve found is to “lock” the board then unlocking them as I need elements inside.
