Hi,

I am learning through the Figma Tutorial. When I try to do auto layout with the frame named Author Name and the other layers, the auto layout makes my layers line up vertically. What am I doing wrong?

Also, the tutorial video made us make ellipse and rectangle placeholders but the images do not want to stay in the placeholders. Any help?
