How Do I Make an Instance in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:33 pm

There are a few different ways to make an instance in Figma. The first way is to select the object you want to make an instance of, and then click on the “Create Instance” button in the toolbar. You can also right-click on the object and select “Create Instance” from the menu.

Another way to create an instance is to drag and drop an object from the Assets panel onto the canvas. When you do this, a dialog will appear asking if you want to create an instance or a component. Choose “Instance” and then click “OK”.

You can also convert an existing object into an instance by selecting it and then clicking on the “Make Instance” button in the toolbar. Or, you can right-click on the object and select “Make Instance” from the menu.

Once you have created an instance, you can edit it just like any other object. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First of all, when you make changes to an instance, those changes will be applied to all other instances of that object. So, if you change the color of an instance, all other instances will also be changed to that color.

Secondly, you can only make changes to objects that are instances. So, if you have a group of objects and you want to change one of them, you first need to convert it into an instance.

To do this, select the object and click on the “Instance” button in the toolbar. Or, right-click on the object and select “Instance” from the menu.

Finally, when you delete an instance, it will be deleted from all other places where it is used. So, if you have an instance that is used in multiple places and you delete it from one place, it will be deleted from all other places as well.

Creating instances is a great way to reuse objects throughout your design. It saves time and ensures that your design is consistent. Plus, it makes it easy to make changes–you only need to make a change in one place and it will be applied everywhere else.
