How Do You Organize Design Files in Figma?

Last updated on November 26, 2022 @ 1:50 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, developed by Figma, Inc. It is available in a web browser, and as a desktop application for macOS and Windows.

Figma has a simple user interface that makes it easy to use for beginners. It also has advanced features for more experienced users.

Figma organizes design files in folders. You can create as many folders as you need, and you can nest folders within other folders.

To create a new folder, click the “+” button in the sidebar. A new folder will be created with the default name “Untitled Folder”.

PRO TIP: When organizing design files in Figma, it is important to keep in mind the following:

1. Make sure to name your files and folders in a way that makes sense to you and will be easy for you to find later.

2. Keep your files and folders organized in a way that will be easy for you to access and use later.

3. Make sure to back up your files often, in case you accidentally delete or lose them.

To rename a folder, double-click on the folder name in the sidebar. A text field will appear where you can enter a new name for the folder.

You can move folders by dragging and dropping them in the sidebar. To move a folder inside another folder, drag the folder over the parent folder until a plus sign appears next to the parent folder.

Figma also allows you to add comments to design files. To add a comment, select the element you want to comment on, then click the “Add comment” button in the toolbar. A text field will appear where you can enter your comment.
