How Do You Make an Expandable Menu in Figma?

Creating an expandable menu in Figma is a great way to add structure and organization to your design. With an expandable menu, you can easily control which elements are visible at any given time and allow users to quickly navigate through your design.

The first step to creating an expandable menu in Figma is to create two frames with the same size and position. The first frame will be used as the parent and will contain all the elements you wish to make expandable. The second frame will be used as the child and will contain only the elements you want to be visible when the parent frame is expanded.

Once you have created your two frames, you need to group them together so that they act as one. To do this, select both frames and click ‘Group’ from the top menu bar. This creates a new frame that contains both of your original frames, making them move together when resizing or repositioning.

Next, you need to add a toggle button which allows users to open and close your menu. To do this, create a shape on top of your group layer that acts as a toggle button for expanding and collapsing your menu. You can also customize this shape by adding color or changing its size or shape if needed.

Now it’s time to add some interactivity! Select both your parent and child frames and click ‘Interactions’ from the top menu bar.

From here, select ‘On Tap’ from the drop-down list which presents various animation options for your frames when tapped on. You can choose either ‘Expand’ or ‘Collapse’ depending on what type of animation you want when someone clicks on your toggle button.

You should now have an interactive expandable menu that responds when clicked on! You can also customize this further by adding additional animations or changing how it looks when expanded or collapsed.

Conclusion: Making an expandable menu in Figma is easy once you know how! Start by creating two frames with the same size and position which act as the parent and child layers for your expandable menu content.

Then group them together so they move as one unit before adding a toggle button for opening/closing the menu above them followed by adding interactivity using the ‘On Tap’ option from Interactions in Figma. Once complete, you should have an interactive expandable menu ready to use in your design projects!
