Using Groups in Figma: Structuring and Nesting Objects Efficiently
- Groups are treated as single entities, making it easier to move or organize multiple objects together;
- The group is labeled as "Group" in the design panel, and you can rename it for clarity;
- Groups follow the same stacking order as individual layers;
- You can rearrange groups or objects within a group by dragging them in the layers panel;
- Groups can be nested (a group within another group) simply by drag a group into another group to nest it;
- Nested groups maintain stacking order, where objects in higher layers appear on top;
- Frames can be nested similarly to groups (a frame within another frame).
Make sure to:
-
Use groups to keep designs organized and easy to manage;
-
Lock individual groups or objects if you don't want them accidentally moved or edited;
-
Rename groups to help in quickly identifying them in complex designs;
-
To group, select multiple objects, right click and select "Group Selection", or alternatively, press Ctrl/Command + G;
-
To ungroup, right-click and select "Ungroup" or press Ctrl/Command + Backspace (Figma default). Ctrl/Command + Shift + G (Adobe default) also works.
