Hello!

I’m having trouble figuring out what the addition of having corners showing around a layer panel icon means:

I’ve checked the Figma Learn article that includes an index of what each icon means, but this icon state is missing. Thank you in advance! 🙂

I believe it is for absolute positioning in auto layout.

If you’ve not found it already:

  1. Select the frame which has that icon.
  2. In the Design > Frame settings panel, find an icon which looks like a plus sign with the border around it. This will be selected. Click it to unselect it and turn off absolute positioning.
