Hi, currently designing some high-fidelity wireframes for a mobile app I’m working on and I added some svg icons to the nav menu which aren’t showing up in presentation view. Is there a reason for this? And is there any way to fix it so they are displayed in presentation mode? I have pictures of the problem in case they are needed to further clarify what is happening. Thank you.

So I’ve started to use autolayout more in the past two weeks and it’s been a game-changer to finally understand it. You basically have to put every single element in a frame, and then the next group up in a frame, and the next group up in a frame, etc. Frame within frame within frame, always.


If an element is NOT within a frame on an artboard, it will stretch when you resize the artboard (unless you hold down Command, I think it is).


For this particular issue, I think it’s about frames again. whatever isn’t showing up in presentation mode is outside the frame of the artboard. So you can copy-paste those elements into any frame within the artboard, or drag them in.


For the record I’ve stopped having this issue when using autolayout because everything has to be in a frame for it to work.


(Still a pain in the ass when working on older files)


HI dvaliao, I am having issues with some of the screen during presentation. please what can i do


Hi @Gleb I have been having challenges with some of the screens during presentation. they are not showinh full. Please what can i do about it


Hi @Bruno_Figueiredo I have the same challenge


Most simplest yet effective response ever.


Love it! Thanks. I realised my layers were all scattered in different categories.


I am having the same issue but i dunno how to fix it.


Sometimes, if we copy elements from one frame (master) to another, having same element name in both frames makes element to retain old layout. Not sure why. I renamed elements with different names and the problem solved.


how did you fix it please help…


For me, the problem came from importing old designs from Sketch into Figma. All layers were visible in design view, but in preview mode some layers were not visible anymore.

My fix: change the color of the non-showing element and than change it back. That’s it!


و انا ايضا عندي نفس المشكلة لا تظهر navigation menu في العرض


Hey @Malika_Aboub, did you already check your layer structure and ensure that your navigation menu was correctly placed inside of your frame as recommended by Gleb?
