Designing a web page, app, or other visual project can be a complicated task. When you are creating your project in Figma, one of the most important considerations is how to organize the layers of your project.
Figma gives you the ability to easily arrange elements and layers in your project so that they appear in the correct order. One of the most common tasks is to bring a layer to the front, so that it appears on top of other elements and layers.
Bringing a layer to the front in Figma is very simple. All you have to do is select the layer and then click on “Bring to Front” from the context menu.
This will move that layer above all other layers, so it will be visible on top of everything else in your project. You can also select multiple layers and then click “Bring to Front” to move all of them together.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts for quickly bringing a layer or group of layers to the front. On MacOS, press Command + Shift + [, and on Windows press Ctrl + Shift + [. This will move any selected element or group one step forward in your layer hierarchy.
If you need to move a layer or group behind another, you can use “Send Backward” from the context menu or use keyboard shortcuts for this as well. On MacOS press Command + ], and on Windows press Ctrl + ]. This will move any selected element or group one step backward in your layer hierarchy.
Using these simple steps, it is easy to bring any layer or group of layers forward or backward in Figma. This allows you to organize your design elements and ensure they appear at the correct level within your project.
Conclusion: Bringing a layer to the front in Figma is simple and straightforward. All you have to do is select it and then click “Bring To Front” from the context menu or use keyboard shortcuts for quickly bringing a layer or group of layers forward one step at a time. You can also send them backward using similar steps.
