How Do You Use Swap Overlay in Figma?

Swap Overlay is a powerful tool in Figma that allows users to quickly and easily switch one element for another without having to redo any of the styling and formatting. This is especially useful when working with text, images, icons, and other elements that often require a bit of work to change.

With Swap Overlay, all of the styling is maintained, so users can quickly make changes without having to start from scratch.

To use Swap Overlay in Figma, users first need to select the element they want to replace. They can do this by clicking on it with their mouse or tapping on it with their finger (if they are using a touchscreen device).

Once selected, they should see the Swap Overlay icon near the top right corner of the element. Clicking or tapping on this will open up the Swap Overlay options.

From here, users can choose from several options: Replace with an image, Replace with text, Replace with another element in the same frame or Replace with an element from another frame. Depending on which option they select, additional options may appear such as selecting which font type or size to use for text elements.

Once a user has made their selection and completed their changes using Swap Overlay, they can click on the Apply button at the bottom right corner of the overlay window to save their changes. Now all that’s left is for them to admire their newly changed elements!

Conclusion:

Using Swap Overlay in Figma makes it easy and quick for designers and developers alike to make changes to elements like text and images without needing to start from scratch. All they have to do is select an element they want to replace, choose one of several available options provided by Swap Overlay and hit apply once done.
