Hello, good day.
I’m experiencing serious issues with the new Figma UI update. Many essential tools — such as padding controls — are missing or hidden.
Please do not enforce this new version. The previous UI was much better, clearer, and far more efficient for designers.
This new version has no advantages, feels confusing, and makes our workflow significantly harder.

I’m also finding the padding control panel. :( 

Why UI is updated often.

Hey All, thanks for your feedback! 

I completely understand how frustrating this may be. With the full rollout of UI3, padding for Auto layout has indeed changed.
You can learn all the new shortcuts to access padding controls here:  https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040451373-Guide-to-auto-layout#shortcuts

While I can’t guarantee any immediate reconsiderations, I’ll be sure to pass your feedback onto the team.
