[@geoffschuller4875]

Great demo! Loved the "how it works now" vs "before." Very helpful. Thanks!

[@seantubridy3242]

This is super useful. It's a really nice alternative for when making components of everything is overkill and you want to multi-adjust just certain things you select.

[@jiteshpujari1]

Yes very true. But do remember the layer hierarchy and the names should be same for figma to multi select

[@amitmathew7]

@@jiteshpujari1 You can just manually multi-select though

[@davitgelkhauri9999]

I Prefer components for texts, because it's resets the style to all layers while I need to edit text with their original styles

[@cristywinarto971]

I got goosebumps when you start to move the object inside the auto-layout on each frames ✨

[@LuniversDeNuna]

Having a UI design overhaul of a software interface with over 800 pages, this new Multi-Edit tool comes in handy!! Awesome! THANK YOUUUUU!!!

[@vadim_sharapov]

When it comes to 800 pages I believe it is much better to use components, because without them maybe even multi-edit will not help in case of the change 😅

[@ujilAxper]

I have been looking for these really helpful features for a long time. This is exactly what I've been searching for.

[@trip_carroll]

Thank you for continuing to make my life easier! Very excited about this feature!!!

[@miasma8166]

Thank you so much Figma programmers and workers You doing big work

[@Hudeusz_]

omg finally multi auto layout application... big THANK YOU!

[@romanbelyaev1457]

Awesome tutorial of the super feature! Especially thank you for the comprehensive and simple language of the presentation.

[@DeeDesign]

Very useful update! For those who is working on a small projects and those who is not created components for all the assets.

[@clem8422]

Amazing feature! I've been struggling these days with exactly what multi-edit solves! Can't wait to use it!

[@AnshMehraa]

This is so usefull! love it.

[@amlproductdesign]

Awesome update! Excited to start using it :D

[@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour]

Hello world, classic! Thanks for another intuitive tutorial Miggi.

[@MoritzFischer]

Very useful. Thank you for making the best design UX UI software even better!!!❤

[@cl.clemleo]

amazing! What a life quality improvement!

[@ashwynfernandes]

This is going to save so much time, thank you!

[@mikronizam]

I was thinking about this 9 months ago, on one of the project, previous designer never named anything correctly so it was harmful to change everything around. This is life saviour!

[@iansteele6443]

This is freaking amazing! And by this, I of course mean your Ninja Turtle themed variables. But the Multi-edit is dope too

[@Figma]

YAS!

[@sparkplug964]

This is great, it going to be such a time saver, nice one.

[@gowthamoleti1359]

This is truly a game-changer!

[@videodancer1]

It is about time!

[@serpokryl]

WOOOW!!! Thank you!!

[@JEdmund81]

Nice little TMNT Easter eggs. Appreciate the tutorial on this new feature!

[@viktoriyakorotkova]

Thank you! nice and very useful feature! great demo

[@another.designer]

🚀🚀Figma, THIS IS GENIUS. I don't why but Basic feature updates hit Different.

A good reason to name you layers 😂 Thanks for the demo !

[@ViruX93]

frame42132 🙃

[@vadim_sharapov]

Yeeee, now we need some integrated feature (ai maybe) to name all layers, because that can be hustle on itself 😂

[@meshcheryakov]

Oh, thank you guys!

[@a_d_z_y__]

Clever to see some "smart selection" coming up, I just hope it matches the same elements as in the smart transition setting when you prototype!

Love the headshot like sticking out of a window!! and typography shirt 👌

[@user-er2cx7qr2i]

Amazing feature!

[@PhilipWallage]

Let's all please remember that this does not replace the use of Compontents. Great update and video, thanks!

[@vadim_sharapov]

Exactly 👏👏👏

[@stacyjara5098]

This was really helpful. Thank you!

[@Sergeydk]

How cool is that! Thanks!

[@nlightn7]

Nice! This will be super useful.

[@victordelacruz8440]

I needed this when I was teaching my UX Design student how to make the frames and start from Atomic Design mindset. Now we just need something like how Sketch automatically organizes the symbols aka components in components page or library

[@cortjezter]

Thank you! Really difficult to describe in text; so the official help page and announcement didn't quite make sense to me. And yes, this is how editing should have always been ❤

[@james36o9]

Yeah this is pretty awesome, I just started using Figma recently and already thought this would be a cool idea!

[@nitheartist5788]

Very well explained thank you

[@yyoungp2955]

how cool is that..? super cool!!

[@toledox82]

Soo cooool! Amazing!!!

[@ydpire]

just great!!! 🎉 👏🏽

[@peachbun1320]

Super useful introduction - love how there's a before and after! Please add scroll trigger

[@znkdev]

THANK YOU FIGMA!!!!!

[@aishatanjina5263]

So satisfying

[@elisauiloa2161]

This is awesome!!

[@luke_birdy]

LOVE Figma!

[@sonjalorscheidt4712]

Wow, this is impressive!

[@greensquare6360]

awww its perfect!

[@myceliumtechno]

Great stuff. Like colos have an overview of selected colors, I'd love to see the same for fonts. Makes multi changing fonts super easy.

[@Bano1984]

this is so great.

[@JUmetaAsset]

Wow 😮Amazing

[@carolcarol73910]

The more I use Figma the more I love it.

[@kalyanpasupuleti4974]

Dope 🔥

[@DimTragic]

Awesome

[@hectorwearden202]

Standing ovation

[@brycebyte]

I'm drooling

[@user-uc6rd5or8d]

This is very cool

[@teksdesign]

thanks!

[@typezi3212]

Super helpful

[@TheManuz]

Really useful and intuitive! In fact, I've tried the multiple auto-layout before, but of course it didn't work!

[@user-ij5dv1zx9y]

it's a beautiful thing.

[@getme.global]

That feature is dope! You really see that figma has ux designers hired that look hard to the hidden annoyances

[@argmarc]

Dank! 🔥

[@littlehopeleft]

God damn I love you guys.

[@SisiBisi-zh1cj]

Nice

[@DavidZafra-bh2wf]

Cool

[@line5617]

😮😮 wowww 🎉🎉

[@arpitbatri1419]

Wooh!

[@VoidOmen]

Amazing improvement!

[@ArvindSwill]

Figma exactly knows what developer needs always 🤓

[@gabriellaturbiani]

Maravilha!

[@OscarDykeman]

Great update, now make your pricing model better and more transparent.

[@sashko_dashko]

Nice video, thank you very much 💓💓💓 It would be even more convenient if you duplicated on the screen the hotkeys that the speaker presses.

[@Anastasia-ze5xz]

Making small edits in prototypes is going to be so much easier now)

[@ytrpaz]

amazing. I dont know what bug I will encounter from this

[@felone]

I found a problem with this feature update. Although very useful in some situations, the old target selection that was available within a set is not there anymore?! How do I now select matching items and then unselect a few that does not need modifications?

[@virginiadominguezcarrera8816]

Naaaaaaaa. This is GREAT

[@FloripaCode]

it would be nice to have a multi-editing json injection specialized in bulk editing, so white label products could benefit from this, like defining variables, logo image, text and etc, then put it into a json and run, so it can replace each by each (the same art/template but with different colors, logos and titles)

[@epicmetod]

Better than creating components TBH

[@Kalorienbomber81]

Great update and video! I recreated this example to train, but when I try to click on "select matching layers" I get the message "no matching layers select on page". But selecting the individual rectangles, the multi edit works. Named the shapes "Rectangles" aswell and have them under different frames. Any idea what I do wrong?

[@KushanthiHasinika]

Super Usefull 🥹

[@BrandiHess13]

What did you press to open the panel that allowed you to change the names of multiple layers at once?

[@MrFlamerFuel]

Look at 04:00 how happy he is! :D

[@sarathjayaprakash1043]

Figma, Multi select is a Help full feature, could you pls add "sentence case" in Type settings

[@rafaelthmz]

big!

[@BryceDriesenga]

I dig the scoping with section, but would be cool if there was a keyboard modifier to ignore as well!

[@BraceZenith]

Also "matching layers" doesn't work when trying to select objects which belong to the same ancestor frame. In other words, if you have a frame representing an app screen or a web page (which is how everyone is doing it), and you try to select all the matching elements on in, it will tell you there are no matching elements. This means that this feature is useful for stuff like selection between different frames (especially helpful for editing master components), but when it comes to editing full "screens" or "pages", or in other words frames, it's quite non-existent.

[@nagpurcar]

​@@BraceZenith You could have said parent frame, why did you have to involve ancestors bro 😂

[@BraceZenith]

@@nagpurcarI wanted to be precise, because "parent" and "ancestor" isn't same thing, and in this case, it's important to make this distinction. A "parent" frame would mean an immediate ancestor, or in other words, a frame which is directly holding the layer we are trying to match/multi-select. An "ancestor" can be any frame within the layer structure, as long as it is holding either the layer we are trying to match, or some other frame, which is in turn holding that layer we are trying to match/multi-select. An example: ancestor / ancestor / ancestor / parent (also an ancestor) / layer Like your grandma and grandpa are your ancestor but are not your parents. While on the other hand, your parents ARE your ancestors AND your parents.

[@lk6618]

наконецто, одно из немногих нововведений, которое действительно полезное, еще бы сделали вариаблы со смарт анимейшином

[@KamakazeCOG]

probs the best thing since auto layout

[@user-jt3fp8mi8w]

These are the type of features that set Figma apart.

[@smnahin3332]

Is it gonna replace the component feature?

[@yas_art]

Handy!

[@DisentDesign]

making figma so easy to use right before the AI does it all...thank you

[@Dark_Aeon]

what if I need to select the same objects across multiple secitons?

[@Sanny.V]

Is there a shortcut available?

[@ronin84]

YES. No more ctrl+shift clicking.

[@user-ou1jx5uk1k]

Whats the shortcut in a german keyboard?

[@lk6618]

похоже на то что теперь могут не понадобится мастера

[@lilitime.]

Hi, how do I select objects in different frames to make them in the same position? Thank you.

[@Figma]

Here is the multi-edit and alignment video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4u3d6Oibpl_pNE be sure to check out the whole multi-edit playlist for a complete run through of the capabilities.

[@lilitime.]

Thank you! This is what I was looking for!

[@hernandiaz6622]

Nice feature. However I would better recommend making your design using components instead of this multi edit feature. Especially if you plan to convert to code with some of the automated plugins.
