Question

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
