How do you set up your Figma designs so that elements (buttons, text boxes, images, etc.) move, resize, or stay in the right place automatically when the frame or screen changes size?

Hey Jesse,

Good question — auto-layout and constraints can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of them, they save a ton of time. I usually start by grouping related elements in auto-layout frames and setting constraints so key elements (like buttons or headers) stay pinned where they should when resizing.

I also track design adjustments and layout behavior with Phonexa, which helps me see how components scale across different screen sizes. Definitely worth experimenting with small test frames first!
