We need to create a guide for Figma Auto-Layout so that volunteers at HfLA can start utilizing industry-standard auto-layout capabilities in their designs

Action Items

The phases in the guide-making process are listed below. Each phase displayed in blue is linked to a wiki page with instructions on how to complete that phase. Open the wiki page in a new tab, copy the instructions for each part into the section labeled 'Tasks' at the bottom of this issue, and complete each task listed.

  • No Auto Layout examples were found in the other projects besides the HFLA website project (Using methods 1,2 and 3 of Step 4).
