A symbol in Figma is an object that you can reuse throughout your file. To create a symbol, select the object (or objects) you want to turn into a symbol and click the “Create new symbol” button in the toolbar. You can also create symbols by selecting the object (or objects), right-clicking, and selecting “Create symbol” from the menu that appears.
There are two types of symbols in Figma: component symbols and frame symbols. Component symbols are like reusable components in a codebase – they keep their own set of properties and can be customized independently from one another. Frame symbols are more like traditional design symbols (e.g. an icon or a button). They’re locked to a specific size and position, and can’t be customized independently from one another.
To edit a symbol, double-click on it in the canvas or select it in the Inspector panel and click the “Edit symbol” button. This will open up the Symbol Editor, where you can make changes to your symbol.
To exit the Symbol Editor, click the “Done” button in the top-right corner.
Symbols are a great way to keep your designs consistent and your file organized. By using symbols, you can make changes to multiple objects at once and be confident that those changes will propagate throughout your file.
