Can child elements be aligned top or bottom in Figma's auto layout?
Graphic Design Asked on October 27, 2021
I have a horizontal auto layout within which there are three elements:
- Icon
- Text
- Another Icon
I made this screen recording that shows what I did. I’d like the text to be aligned top or bottom, but it remains centered.
Is it possible to do this in Figma?

With the new auto layout update, you can do it. Example image from Figma blog is below.
