Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:50 am

Figma is a vector-based design tool that is gaining popularity in the design industry. It is used by both UI/UX designers and graphic designers. Figma has many features that make it a great tool for designing digital products.

One of these features is the ability to organize your Figma file. In this article, we will show you how to organize your Figma file so that you can work more efficiently.

There are two ways to organize your Figma file: using layers and using folders. Layers are a good way to organize your work if you have a lot of different elements on your canvas. You can create a new layer for each element and then move the elements around on the canvas to arrange them how you want.

Folders are a good way to organize your work if you have a lot of different pages or screens in your design. You can create a new folder for each page or screen and then put all of the elements for that page or screen in that folder.

To create a layer, click on the “Layers” icon in the toolbar (it looks like a stack of papers). Then, click on the “Create Layer” button.

A new layer will be created and added to your canvas. To rename a layer, double-click on the layer name and type in a new name. To delete a layer, click on the layer and then press the “delete” key on your keyboard.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how to organize your Figma file, it is best to consult with a professional. There are many ways to organize your file, and if done incorrectly, it can lead to confusion and frustration.

To create a folder, click on the “Folders” icon in the toolbar (it looks like a folder). Then, click on the “Create Folder” button.

A new folder will be created and added to your canvas. To rename a folder, double-click on the folder name and type in a new name. To delete a folder, click on the folder and then press the “delete” key on your keyboard.

Once you have created some layers or folders, you can start arranging them how you want. To move a layer or folder, click on it and then drag it to the desired location.

You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move layers and folders around. To change the order of layers or folders, click on one and then drag it above or below another.

Organizing your Figma file is a great way to work more efficiently. Layers and folders are both great ways to keep your work organized. Experiment with both methods to see which one works best for you.
