Hello, I am new to Figma.
I have created a responsive App inside a Auto Layout. Now it confuses me how I am supposed to put a floating button above the current App frame, which make both them responsive.

Hello @ypt, Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Figma community!

Without having a look at your actual design file, it’s a bit challenging to provide a definitive help. However, one approach you might consider is applying an ‘Absolute Position’ to the button.

Once the ‘Absolute Position’ is applied, you can then set constraints to control how the button responds when its parent auto layout frame is resized. Just bear in mind that other auto layout options, such as resizing and advanced layout settings, won’t be available for the button.
