Add auto layout to Sections

I’m gonna ride this train, count me in

+1 !

I use sections for our component library, as they nicely display the name of a component and their own name adjusts to the zoom level.
Without auto-layout though, its a bit of a mess 🙂

It would be awesome to have hug option in width option list and auto layout with paddings and gap for sections as for a frame

I just wanted to bump @Josh_Rhode’s comment above – I love using Figma for slides, but right now changing the order of the slides is a pain as I have to manually slide all the ones after it down, etc.

Auto layout would solve this immediately, but I can’t frame the slides for two reasons:

• It will break the plugin I use to sync the slides to Google Slides
• It will break clickthrough, like Josh mentioned

Having auto layout on sections would solve this neatly! 🤞

Now that Figma is encouraging use of sections in Figma design via the “Ready for dev” section indicator, it’s more important than ever that designers be able to integrate sections into the process of laying out our design specs. Translating from an autolayout-based format to one devoid of autolayout makes this challenging.

I was happy when I realized you could put all your screens into one big parent frame with auto-layout, so then duplicating screens and moving them around was effortless. But. It breaks prototyping / flows, which is based on the top-level frames. 😦

I feel like this is a separate problem that should be fixed. But. Having auto layout on sections would probably make this a non-issue.

We really need this feature to be added. Currently there is still a lot of overhead manually resizing sections because such a feature is missing. Please add this to you backlog Figma devs! 🙏

+1 Need this!

It seems like this feature is probably the most wanted feature right now lol - just came here to add my support to the community, auto layout on sections would be huge!

This would definitely be a great addition to the sections feature. We really need this asap, would change completely how I use sections and upgrade my work flow. 🙂
