Question About Auto Layout Frame Behavior in Figma

While exploring Figma, I noticed what appears to be a behavior where items inside an Auto Layout frame can be freely dragged and positioned anywhere within the frame while still remaining part of the Auto Layout. This seems like a useful feature, but I'm not able to use it in my own files.

Could you please let me know if this is an available feature? If so, I would appreciate it if you could explain how to enable and use it. If it's only available under certain conditions, settings, or in a specific version of Figma, I'd be grateful for any guidance.
