Where's the Layout / Autolayout in the new UI?


Giona

Hello everyone, today my Figma updated and now I can’t seem to find the old beloved “Layout/Autolayout” section, someone can help?

Hi, just chiming in, I had similar experience but I actually were in Design mode, but layout options where simply not there. Reloading tab and restarting Figma didnt help, but switching to Draw and then back to Design did, so thanks!

Hey ​@Giona ! I totally get how the new Figma UI can make it tricky to find familiar features like Layout and Auto Layout-they’ve definitely moved things around a bit. If you’re feeling a bit lost or want a quick refresher on where everything lives now, I’ve put together a walkthrough that should help you get reoriented.

Hope it helps! Let me know if you have any more questions as you explore the new interface 😊

The answers here is super helpful! Thank you very much. 

Just want to add here and say that it’s very frustrating when Figma changes things every year. It’s exciting to have new features, but it’s disappointing that Figma designers don’t future prove their design decisions, and end up changing things around every year. Then it’s hard to appreciate the changes and really go all in, as things may change again next year!
