How Do I Access Smart Layers in Figma?

Figma is a powerful design tool that allows users to create, animate and collaborate on digital designs. One of the features of Figma is its smart layers, which allow designers to quickly and easily add extra elements to their designs.

Smart layers enable users to add text, images, shapes, and more to their designs with just a few clicks.

To access the smart layers in Figma, you first need to open the project you are working on. From there, select “Layers” from the left-hand side panel.

You will then see the list of available layers presented in a tree format. Select “Smart Layers” from this list and it will open up all of your available options.

The Smart Layers panel looks like a palette of elements that you can drag and drop onto your design. You can add text boxes, shapes, images and more by simply dragging them onto your canvas. Once you have added the object to your design, it will appear on the left-hand side panel in the Layers section.

You can also adjust the properties of each element by double clicking on them. This will open up a menu containing all sorts of options for changing how that element looks and behaves such as font size, color, opacity etc. You can also drag elements around your canvas or re-size them using this menu.

Once you are happy with how your elements look, you can save your project by clicking the “Save” button at the top right corner of Figma’s interface.

Figma’s smart layers make it easy for designers to quickly create new projects or enhance existing ones with just a few clicks.
