Also, you can watch the photographs being imported and positioned in real time.
Rename layers much more efficiently
It’s always a good idea to keep your Figma files organized as you work, with a clear naming system and hierarchy for each layer. When it comes to renaming your layers, avoid using plugins and instead use one of Figma’s built-in methods. ‘Rename.’ Simply select the layers you want to rename in bulk and open the window with the shortcut Cmd + R to make the necessary changes.
Quickly modify the opacity
The endless cycle of mouse movements can be exhausting for a UI UX Designer; if you want to modify the opacity of shapes or objects quickly, all you have to do is click on them and press the desired percentage. It will be like; 10 for 10%, 25 for 25%, and so on.
Resize instantly
Simple just press K while choosing a frame or an element and the scale tool will appear. It will allow you to resize the element or a frame while keeping it proportionate. Also, while resizing, hold down the alt/option key to raise the size from the center.
Copy/Paste all elements
