Hi Community.


I’ve been using Figma for about a year and I accidentally hit something on a design I was creating and it now only shows white/black outlines of the vectors and text. Does anyone know how to revert back to the “normal” view?

Figured it out!


what is the solution ?


Uncheck “Outlines” from the “View” menu or use the keyboard shortcut.


What’s the keyboard shortcut? 😂 🙌


Use ⌘ + Y to toggle into outline mode so you can view your design without styling.


Outline mode helps view out-of-frame objects and serves as a quick way to tell which assets are components and instances.


BTW thanks to the Figma development team for listening to your users!

I nagged the Sketch people about this feature for a while, and they were dismissive regarding it. Thank you! ❤️


Thanks! I did the same thing and was on the verge of a mini panic attack…lol. Thanks for posting this.


Thank you sooooooo much…I’m a beginner and this gave me a mini panic attack!


Uncheck outlines from the View or use keyboard shortcut key which Shift + O
