All was fine yesterday… but as I log in this morning- the checkbox has disappeared.

What’s going on?

    We hear you and we’re sorry for the frustration, @Lyle_K.

    The team discussed a lot of different factors before making the decision to move. They anticipated that the move may confuse existing users, but ultimately, it made sense to keep scrolling options in Prototype, since scrolling and overlays are already there. It felt like an intuitive move considering anyone who hadn’t used it before may look in prototype settings.

    Now the positioning settings are in the Prototype tab.

      Absolutely ridiculous to move something without calling it out specifically in the UI, guys. If you move a thing, don’t hide that fact in a forum or a video or a friggin blog update.

      Put a big bloody tooltip over the missing thing’s ex home and say, “hey, sorry, we moved this for exactly zero reason, busy professional, it’s now arbitrarily over here instead”

        Ohhhhhhh!
        This just confused me as hell. One moment the checkbox was there, the next it was gone. And I still haven’t had the chance to go through new Figma updates. So yeah, confusion!
        Was there a small popup somewhere in Figma explaining this that I’ve missed?

          Yeah, for people who create tools for UX professionals, their UX can really suck.

            Thanks for the feedback @Kelly_Ne & @Dan15! We’ll pass it along to the team for consideration when making changes in the future.

              I spent an hour to find the solution to this issue, and it turned out they changed to the prototype section. It’s ridiculous!!!

                I was confused by this in this morning. This is not a good change for me as I use it every moment 😦 Why did they hide it?
