Auto Layout is one of the most important features in Figma, with a versatility that sets it apart from the ones in other design tools. In brief, it allows you to structure components and frames in a way that can automatically grow, making the container adapt to the size of its contents, or the other way around.
Auto Layout offers several benefits to developers and designers. Firstly, it simplifies the process of creating adaptive layouts that work across different devices and orientations, reducing the need for maintaining separate layouts for each scenario. With Auto Layout, UI elements can be intelligently positioned and resized based on constraints, allowing for a more flexible and dynamic user interface design. This leads to improved scalability and ease of maintenance. Additionally, Auto Layout supports localization by enabling designers to create layouts that automatically adjust to different languages and text lengths, avoiding overlapping or truncated content.
