Pro Tips for Editing Text in Figma

1. Select the Text Tool
   Click the “T” icon in the toolbar or press T on your keyboard to activate the Text tool. This allows you to click anywhere on the canvas to create a new text box or select existing text.

2. Double-Click to Edit Existing Text
   To edit existing text, double-click directly on the text layer. This activates the text field, letting you type or modify the content.

3. Use the Properties Panel
   Once text is selected, the right-hand Properties panel displays options to change font, size, weight, color, line height, letter spacing, and more.

4. Use Keyboard Shortcuts for Formatting
   Speed up your workflow with keyboard shortcuts. For example, use Ctrl + B (or Command + B on Mac) to bold text, Ctrl + I for italics, and Ctrl + U to underline.

5. Resize the Text Box
   Click and drag the bounding box of the text layer to change its width or height. This helps with adjusting layout and text wrapping.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Editing the Wrong Layer
   If you can't edit text, you may have selected a group or frame instead of the actual text layer. Double-click until the text field is activated.

2. Text Overflow or Clipping
   Make sure your text box is sized appropriately. Auto Height usually solves clipping issues when text overflows its container.

3. Changes Not Applying Across Components
   If you’re editing text inside a component, changes may not reflect in all instances unless you edit the main component or detach the instance.

4. Inconsistent Formatting
   Avoid manually styling every text box. Use text styles to maintain uniform typography throughout your project.

5. Forgetting to Save Styles
   If you create a new text style but forget to save it, you’ll lose consistency and spend more time reapplying formats.
