Figma is a vector design and animation tool that is gaining popularity among UX designers. One of the reasons for its popularity is that Figma makes it easy to change the scrolling behavior of an element on a frame. In this article, we will show you how to change the scrolling in Figma.

There are two ways to change the scrolling in Figma. The first way is to use the “Scroll” tool.

To do this, select the “Scroll” tool from the toolbar and then click on the element that you want to change the scrolling behavior for. In the “Scroll” options, you can choose whether you want the element to scroll horizontally, vertically, or both.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you could accidentally change the scrolling in Figma. Be sure to save your work before making any changes.

The second way to change the scrolling in Figma is to use the “Constrain” tool. To do this, select the “Constrain” tool from the toolbar and then click on the element that you want to change the scrolling behavior for. In the “Constrain” options, you can choose whether you want the element to scroll horizontally, vertically, or both.

Once you have made your selection, you can then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll the element. If you want to scroll faster, you can hold down the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys. You can also use your mouse wheel to scroll if your mouse has one.

Conclusion:

Changing the scrolling in Figma is easy and can be done with just a few clicks. By using either the Scroll tool or Constrain tool, you can quickly change how an element scrolls on a frame. So next time you’re working on a design in Figma, remember how easy it is to change scrolling behavior!
