Last updated on May 7, 2023 @ 7:42 am

There are a few ways to select multiple items in Figma. The first is to hold down the Ctrl key and then click on each item you wish to select.

Another way is to click on the first item, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last item while still holding Shift. This will select all items in between the first and last items.

You can also click and drag to select multiple items. Simply click on an empty space and drag your mouse over the items you wish to select. All items that are touching the selection box will be selected.

PRO TIP: If you are working on a design in Figma and need to select multiple items, be careful! There is a known issue with the selection tool that can cause your design to become unselectable. To avoid this, make sure to deselect any items you don’t want to move before making your selection.

If you need to select all items on a particular layer, simply click on the layer name in the Layers panel. This will select all items on that layer.

Finally, you can use the Select All command by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+A on your keyboard. This will select all objects in your design, regardless of what layer they are on.

Conclusion: To sum it up, there are a few different ways that you can select multiple items in Figma. You can hold down the Shift key and click on each item individually, or you can use the Select All command. You can also click and drag to select multiple items or click on a layer name in the Layers panel to select all items on that layer.
