As relatively new to FIgma io have a hard time figuring out what which symbols in the layer palette mean and what their functions and properties are. Is there something like an orientation?
Hi @pixelzauberer, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I completely understand where you’re coming from.
While I couldn’t find a resource that perfectly matches all your needs, I’ve gathered some helpful guides and tutorials that might be useful.
Firstly, here’s a guide to the left sidebar in Figma, where you can identify each icon and learn more about left sidebar: View layers and pages in the left sidebar - View layers
Also, our help center offers a comprehensive list of resources in the “Tour the Interface” section that you might find interesting: Tour the interface
For a quick tour of key features, the “Figma for beginners” tutorial series in Figma YouTube is a fantastic place to start: New to Figma? Get started with “Figma for beginners” tutorials
An introduction to each property can be found in this video from the series above: Figma For Beginners: Explore ideas (1/4)
Hope it helps!
If anyone in our community has additional suggestions, please feel free to share here.
Thanks,
Hi @Junko3
Thank you for the swift response and for providing these resources. They’re great and very informative! I’ve started exploring the guides and tutorials, and they’ve already been quite helpful.
It’s true that the variety of icons in the left sidebar can be a bit overwhelming at first, but I’m getting a better handle on it now with the help of your suggestions.
Thanks again for your support and for the fantastic resources. If I come across any other questions, I’ll be sure to reach out.
Best regards,
Pascal Sutter
