Auto layout: Learn to create flexible designs and components - [Older version] Figma Tutorial: Auto Layout

We updated Auto Layout on November 19th, 2020. The latest version includes new features, but also some changes (specifically to alignment of child objects). You can read the updated documentation on our Help Center https://help.figma.com/article/453-auto-layout or view the Auto Layout Playground file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/784448220678228461 Start using Figma for free: http://bit.ly/2Ro3GxU Learn to use Auto Layout: https://help.figma.com/article/453-auto-layout Read more on the Figma Blog: https://www.figma.com/blog/announcing-auto-layout/ Get a copy of the Theater App design file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/842917001273016668 With Auto Layout, buttons can resize with their text, lists can be rearranged by simply dragging items around, and your Frames will grow or shrink as you add or remove content. When designing with real data, like when using the Google Sheets Sync plugin, all of your Auto Layout Frames and Components will instantly update to any content, saving you time and clicks. Note that using Google Sheets Sync requires renaming layers with special prefixes which weren't covered in this video.
