I’m trying to select multiple difference objects within a frame. Previously I could hold shift and click on the different elements I wanted to select. Ever since this multi-edit feature came out, I’m no longer able to do that.


Does anyone know how I can get my “multi-select” back?

this is still not working I cant do select similar object


Hey there, sorry to hear this!


I just tested this capability, and it’s still working as expected. Are you trying to select matching objects in the same frame or across more than one frame or group?


I tried different ways and only work within the same component -variants group I had to create combine as variants first to be able to select similar style, was that always the case?


Hey All, sorry for the continue trouble and confusion!


To help clarify, it’s not possible to multi-select matching layers within the same frame. But this is on our radar for improvement and you can vote for that capability here:



The previous fix mentioned above, was the ability to shift+click to multi-select matching objects across different frames/groups. If you’re still having issues with multi-selection, in this sense, please share a screen recording with us or file a bug report here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Yep, I’m still hoping they bring it back…
