How Do I Show the Toolbar in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:13 am

There are many ways to show the toolbar in Figma. The most common way is to simply click on the hamburger icon in the top left corner of the screen.

This will open up the menu, which includes the option to show the toolbar. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift + T to show the toolbar.

PRO TIP: The Figma toolbar is hidden by default. To show it, click the hamburger icon in the top-left corner of the screen. This will reveal a menu with various options, including the option to show the toolbar.

However, be aware that showing the toolbar will also reveal the menu bar and other interface elements that are normally hidden. This can make Figma look cluttered and may interfere with your work.

If you’re working on a design that’s particularly complex, or you just want more control over your workspace, you might want to consider using the floating toolbar. To do this, simply drag the toolbar out from the side panel and position it wherever you like on the screen.

Finally, if you’re working on a touch device such as a tablet or phone, you can show the toolbar by swiping down from the top of the screen.

No matter which method you use, showing the toolbar in Figma is quick and easy. So why not give it a try next time you’re working on a design project?
