🎉 We’re excited to announce our new Quest update:
Quest now supports the new version of Auto layout in Figma announced at Config 2022

Quest now supports new the Auto layout features in Figma

We just released support for:
• Absolute position — Choose to have items be placed anywhere in their frame, even on the edge or outside of their frame
• Negative spacing — You can now overlap things in Auto layout
• Stack order — Choose which direction you want to have overlapping elements overlap each other

Also…
We now support non-auto layout as well. Import frames and groups and they’ll simply come in as absolute position making it faster to set up your designs. We still highly recommend that you use Auto layout to if you want things to be responsive but now you have the choice on what to apply it to specifically.

The Quest plugin will auto-update in Figma so you can try it out right now. We can’t wait to see all the cool stuff you build ;)
