Some are even hesitant to start using it.

It's tempting to explain that Auto Layout helps you create a single layout that adapts automatically to desktop, mobile, and any other screen size.

But what if I told you that you can learn Auto Layout, in Figma, while using Figma?

If you search for Figma Playground Files, you’ll find the Figma Community page. It contains step-by-step interactive Figma files, and one of them covers Auto Layout.

Not only will this save you tons of time, but it will also give you an edge over the competition and help you better understand how the web works.

While you're there, check out the other interactive guides too. And don’t forget to tell your web designer friends about Figma Playgrounds.

Let me know if you give it a try.

Cheers!
