Apply auto layout for flexible containers in Figma
Use Auto layout when needed to remove additional hassles caused when changing the spacings and paddings for your design elements. Adding auto layout to a group or a frame will override its default spacing values and make elements follow a specific direction and adjustable distribution order.
In general, assembling components with AL will provide a solid building block experience and eliminate unnecessary mistakes.
To add the auto layout, select a group or frame, and use the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift + A to apply it. Or click ➕ next to the auto layout label in the right panel.
