I'm not sure if I'm part of an A/B test or something like that, but my menu keeps updating every day and key options like Auto Layout keep disappearing.

I'd like to go back to the regular version, because I can't work normally with these changes constantly appearing and disappearing.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hi ​@Jeremías UX

 

I understand Auto Layout is appearing and disappearing from the right sidebar in your file.

 

Do you happen to be in Figma Draw when you don’t see Auto Layout?

Some Figma Design features, including Auto Layout and prototyping, aren’t available while you’re in Draw. Try switching the toolbar toggle to Design to see the Auto Layout features.

Explore Figma Draw

 

If you switch to Design and still don’t see Auto Layout, please check articles below for more details and instructions on how to apply Auto Layout to your designs:
