All right, hands up who's never used this option here, called Section... if you got your hands up, we're going to look at it in this video... for using sections, for organizing your content... kind of like this, where we can section off mobile, desktop, tablet... we'll double back and change our kind of like component area for a section... why are we doing sections for organization here...

in our prototyping section of the course? Because in the next video we're actually going to use sections... to do do some pretty sweet prototyping... but I bet you, lots of you don't know the... like main purpose of section... so let's do that here, they're kind of awesome, okay, mildly awesome...

but we need to learn them so that we can use them in the next video... all right, let's jump in. All right, first up I've borrowed a file from the Figma community... thank you, Honza Uchytll. So I've borrowed it just so that I found something... that had mobile, and desktop, and iPad, different screens in it...

so this is a really good example of organizing using sections... sections are hiding under where we have frame... there's one called 'Section', we have to click on it... and we can just draw a box around stuff we want to organize... there you go, let's have a look at our layers... everything is inside Section 1, let's 'Command R' to rename it...

let's call this one "Mobile"... now could we not just do this with a frame? Hit the 'F' key for frame, drag it around this slot... and same thing, I'm going to name it, I'm going to call it "Desktop"... no, there's not a lot of difference between the two... except, there's just visual differences when it comes to organization...

in the next video when we start doing some cool prototyping it's magic... but for now, can you see the differences here... it's a, I don't know, is a little bit more different from all the other frames... it's got a little box around it... we can, like frames go, you, we're going to pick a background color... to help separate it out from the background...

same thing, we can do with a frame. One of the sweet things you can do with it... is double click the edge and it kind of wraps it around, leaving some padding... can you see, it leaves like a 100 pixel padding either side... and it's just a visual difference of kind of like... a hierarchy when you're trying to like separate things out...

trying to show developers or other people, or keep your ideas in some sort of check. Other things you can do with it... is you can click on the 'Section', and when you go to 'Share'... I'm going to share a 'View Link', can you see, it says, Link to Current Section... you can turn that on if you've got it selected... let's copy the link, and I'll open it up...

so when I send it to someone else, they open it up... and they get directed to this particular section... now frames to do that too. We're back, there's Anonymous, I opened it up in a private browser... and Anonymous has joined me... so let's wrap up the organizational parts for it...

so shortcut is 'Shift S', you can drag them out... you can convert things into sections... so this frame here now, maybe you have got something already... it's already sectioned out... you can right click it and say, 'Convert to Section'... you can grab a bunch of stuff and go, you, right click, and say...

'Wrap a New Section'... 'Command R', and this is going to be "Tablet"... because we're here, and because we're advanced - I'm going to undo that  - you can convert back... let's say that this one was a frame to start with... you can convert it to a section up here and toggle between them, there we go... it's easy to add stuff too...

you might decide that this particular screen needs to be in here... and it just jumps sections, like frames do. You can get rid of a section by right clicking it, and saying... 'Ungroup', weirdly, there you go... not unsectioned... you can't put sections inside of frames, interestingly.

So let's convert this to, back to a 'Frame'... and I want to say, inside of here I want a big frame, I'm going to say... 'Shift S' for sections, I want this to be my specific section... and it kind of works, except, it doesn't... it looks like it's inside of it, but can you see... it jumped out of that frame called Desktop, and just went above it...

it always wants to be the parent, it's bossy that way... so it's used for like high level organization... not for sections inside of frames. Other thing to note... is you can have sections within sections though, sure thing... I got a section here, let's give it a background color...

I can put another section in here, and another section in there... you see, I can get this hierarchy going, but the section has to be the high level... and that's about it... for us, I command you to go to Tab 2... it's 'Command 2' on a Mac, 'Ctrl 2' on a PC... because I want to go to my second Tab...

and I'm going to go to this section... this is perfect to be a section... it gets the sweet icon, it gets a slightly different title... I can double click the outside to make it all fit nicely... and I might work my way around and have welcome screens... and my kind of, I don't know, my signup process is a separate section...

you get the idea. All right, so we're good with sections for organization... let's get into the next video, we'll do sections for prototyping... which is super more fun.
