Understand the structure of a Framer project
Learn how to understand the structure of a Framer project. Now that you’re familiar with the Framer interface, it’s time to get familiar with the anatomy of the things you build, and unpack the content of a Framer Project. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.
Lesson details
Read a Framer project as pages containing sections, Frames, Stacks, Components, and content layers, with Assets and styles providing reusable systems. Follow the parent and child relationships in the layer tree to understand which container controls a layer’s size and position.
Keep page structure shallow enough to inspect and name the containers that matter. Clear ownership of layout, content, and styling makes responsive changes easier to predict.
Resize continuously between breakpoints after the layout looks right at its starting width. Flexible sizing problems often appear between the desktop and mobile canvases rather than on either one.

What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to understand the structure of a Framer project. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.
How should I test this layout across breakpoints?
Preview the page at wide, medium, and narrow widths, then resize between those points. Check wrapping, alignment, sizing, and reading order instead of testing only preset device widths. Adjust the Frames, Stacks, grid settings, or text controls covered in the lesson when the layout starts to break.
Can I use this layout workflow across breakpoints?
Yes. Preview the page at wide, medium, and narrow widths, then resize between those points. Check wrapping, alignment, sizing, and reading order instead of testing only preset device widths. Adjust the Frames, Stacks, grid settings, or text controls covered in the lesson when the layout starts to break.
What should I review after I understand the structure of a Framer project?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
