If you're anything like me, you probably spend a good chunk of your time in Figma organizing your design files. One of the things I like to do is to "nest" my components—that is, to put one component inside of another. This can be helpful for a number of reasons.For example, if you have a header and a footer that you want to use on every page of your website, you can nest those components inside of a "Page" component. Then, when you need to update the header or footer, you can simply update the Page component and all of the other pages will update automatically.

Another reason to nest components is to group together related items. For example, if you're designing a navigation menu, you might want to put all of the menu items into a "Menu" component.This can be helpful when it comes time to export your design, as you can simply export the Menu component and all of the associated menu items will be exported with it.

Nesting components is easy to do in Figma—simply select the component(s) that you want to nest and then click the "Nest" button in the toolbar (it looks like a little box with an arrow pointing into it). You can also nest components by dragging one component onto another in the hierarchy panel.

So there you have it—a quick overview of how to nest components in Figma. Nesting components can be helpful for organizing your design files and for exporting your designs.
