Course intro · Lesson 4

Set up your Figma file.

Make one place in Figma for your practice and assignments.

A bright editorial illustration about set up your figma file.

What you will learn.

Find one Academy file again, identify its three pages, and place one small item on the right page.

Before you begin.

Finish Start here first. Reuse C27 Academy — [your name] if it exists. If you cannot open a Figma file or find its pages, use the optional Find your way around Figma guide first.

Learn the concept.

A file holds your Academy work. A page is a named area inside that file. A section groups related work on a page; a frame holds a particular screen or design. You need the file and three pages now. Sections and frames are added only when a task needs them.

Words to know.

Your whole C27 Academy workspace in Figma Design.

A saved document

Page

One of the three named areas inside the file: Daily practice, Assignments, or Questions.

The idea in practice

See a worked example.

Start with the existing Academy file. Keeping three named pages makes the next assignment easy to place and retrieve.
