[Fixed] The Getting Started guide is unhelpful/misleading

[mira]

Hi, I’m a new user (on 2025.3.4).

The getting started guide on frames prompted me to create a Frame, then informed me about a dropdown with sizing modes. However, the inspector didn’t have the dropdown.

Later, in Try it out, it asked me to select a square and change its sizing mode to Fill. This time, the dropdown was there, but no Fill mode.

Hey!

The sizing options appear for frames that are nested in other frames. Top-Level Frames don’t have sizing options cause they act as the containers.

As described here, the Fill option for frames is displayed when they’re inside of stack. However, you can set your frame to “fill” if you:

• Press and hold ⌥ Option
• Double-click one of the sides of the frame
• This will make the frame fill the available space + it will set Pinnings so the sides so it shrinks and expands when its container does the same.

Let us know if this helps!
