Basic Figma Use? Windows NOT Mac

Using Figma under Windows.

I have to review a figma design my designer created. There are many layers.

I would like to view one layer. Is there any way I can Zoom to it after selecting it? It seems I have to hunt and zoom all around the screen to finally look at something. Figma doesn’t seem to work as a collaborative tool.

Is there a save button for this topic/ post? I only see SEND. Send it where?

Double-click on the layer icon

Thanks for the nice animation. But this absolutely does not work for my Figma project. Clicking on a layer brings up a little blue popup with the screen resolution only but if the item is off screen, it doesn’t center it or zoom to it or anything.

Maybe there is a secret setting I have to configure somewhere but for new users, this is not helpful. I can’t even view things.

I’m on a Windows Desktop but am using Figma from the Google Chrome browser. Maybe I should install the App?

Not sure why it happens, i just checked it in the browser on my side, and it still works as it should
