Add auto layout to Sections

There are times when having sections free of constraints is nice… but my design team has become addicted to using auto layout with frames. In many cases when using sections, it would be amazing to perfectly space the inner sections out using auto layout.

This feature would be critical to standardize the use of Sections.

Right now, resizing sections and organizing their internal frames adds too much manual work during the creative process of every screen that our team had to discard them until this feature is available.

Sections are a significant feature for prototype-building and organization of a page; they could also be of good use on UI/UX flows that are open to changes.

Please, please, please.

In addition to product design, we use Figma for a ton of clickthrough slide decks (brand guidelines, client presentations, etc).

Auto-layout makes slide management a breeze (because you can just drag to re-arrange frames).

Except for one big proble: putting a giant frame around your slide frames breaks the clickthrough.

So having auto-layout on Sections would instantly solve that.

Listen to me Figma. Sections + auto-layout instantly makes you the most desirable slide/deck/presentation tool on the market.

Honestly I don’t use sections in FigJam and this is the reason why. Give me autolayout and I’ll readily switch my top-level organizational frames to sections.

Started using Sections in my new team, and we use a custom Title component inside them all. Just having the ability to apply constraints so they fill or are fixed would be a huge time saver!
