Understanding the Toolbar Functions

Which toolbar button in Figma allows you to add a new frame to your design?

A The 'Text' tool button

B The 'Frame' tool button

C The 'Pen' tool button

D The 'Slice' tool button

💡 Hint

Think about which tool helps you create containers for your design elements.

The 'Frame' tool in the toolbar is used to create frames, which act like containers or artboards in Figma.

Identifying Layers Panel Usage

In the Layers panel, what does a small eye icon next to a layer indicate?

A The layer is visible in the design canvas

B The layer is hidden from the design canvas

C The layer is locked and cannot be edited

D The layer is grouped with other layers

💡 Hint

Think about what an eye symbol usually means in apps.

The eye icon shows whether a layer is visible or hidden. If the eye is shown, the layer is visible.

Properties Panel: Adjusting Object Appearance

You want to change the color of a selected shape in Figma. Which section of the Properties panel should you use?

A The 'Fill' section

B The 'Stroke' section

C The 'Effects' section

D The 'Layout Grid' section

💡 Hint

Consider where you change the inside color of shapes.

The 'Fill' section controls the inside color of shapes, so you adjust color there.

Troubleshooting Layer Visibility

You cannot see a layer on the canvas even though it is listed in the Layers panel. What is the most likely reason?

A The layer is grouped with other layers

B The layer is locked

C The layer's visibility eye icon is turned off

D The layer is selected

💡 Hint

Think about what controls whether you can see a layer or not.

If the eye icon is off, the layer is hidden and won't show on the canvas.

Optimizing Workspace Using Interface Panels

You want to quickly select multiple layers that are grouped inside a frame and change their fill color all at once. Which sequence of actions is best?

A Hide the frame, then select layers in the Layers panel to change their fill color

B Select each layer individually on the canvas, then change the stroke color in the Properties panel

C Lock the frame, then select layers inside it to change their fill color

D Use the Layers panel to multi-select the layers inside the group, then change the fill color in the Properties panel

💡 Hint

Think about how to select multiple layers efficiently and where to change fill color.

Multi-selecting the layers inside the group using the Layers panel lets you quickly select multiple layers. Then you can change fill color for all at once in the Properties panel.
