Why should you remove the auto layout in Figma

Figma is a powerful design tool that enables seamless collaboration and creativity in digital design projects.

One of the features in Figma is the auto layout, designed to streamline design processes by automatically adjusting element positioning and size.

Removing the auto layout option gives designers greater control over element placement. It allows for more precise customization, essential when unique design nuances are required.

This flexibility ensures that creativity isn't stifled and enables bespoke design adjustments to meet specific project needs effectively.
