‫Hey, everyone.

‫We're going to talk a bit more about files.

‫Now, files can be a little tricky to just understand quickly.

‫I mean, maybe not so tricky.

‫This is where you're going to do all your designing, but using the resources available in the course

‫is basically one of those things that are really going to help you be successful at the end of the course.

‫So I'm going to talk about how to use those files and just how to access them.

‫So you can see here, if you've accessed a link that was given to you by the course, this is what will

‫happen.

‫You'll be pushed right into this link and you'll see, oh, ask to edit, don't click that.

‫That's just not what you're going to do here.

‫The easiest way to actually get here and get this file is to go and click this little arrow.

‫We're going to duplicate that file, we're going to click the arrow and we're going to duplicate the

‫file to our drafts.

‫And just like that, a new tab is made, a new file is made.

‫And if we go back, we can see that this is the new file.

‫It's our recent.

‫This is still one that is the original.

‫This is my file that I'm sharing with everyone.

‫And now you can use this file as well.

‫So this layer is locked, I believe, but.

‫You can go ahead and move it around and start editing this actual file.

‫So that's how you're going to duplicate files.

‫If you've downloaded the resources or if you have another file that you want to bring in here, you're

‫going to click the import file.

‫I mean, what you're going to do is you're going to take the Figma file like that.

‫Bring it right in.

‫And it has been imported.

‫We can click it.

‫And it's going to open up that new tab and here you'll be able to edit it as well.

‫So that is how you bring in files.

‫You can duplicate them, import them if you want to create new design files.

‫All you have to do is just click this new design file.

‫Right here, this big button.

‫So you click that it's going to open up a new file and it's going to bring you right inside.

‫And here you can click whether you want to name it something.

‫So I have my new design file and now you are on the canvas.

‫This is the canvas area and that is how you basically use design files in figma.
