Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:28 am

In Figma, you can edit an instance by double-clicking on it, or by selecting it and pressing the Enter key. This will open the Instance Properties panel, where you can change the name, size, and other properties of the instance.

You can also change the type of an instance, from a rectangle to a circle, for example.

To edit an instance in Figma:

1. Double-click on the instance, or select it and press Enter.

2.

In the Instance Properties panel that opens, change the name, size, or other properties of the instance.

3. To change the type of an instance, select a different shape from the Type drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Figma, please do not attempt to edit an instance in Figma. Doing so could result in undesired changes to your design. If you must edit an instance, please consult with a Figma expert beforehand.
