To close the outline mode view in Figma, which displays only the outlines of your design elements, you have a couple of simple methods.
This feature is useful for quickly seeing the structure and alignment of objects without fills, strokes, or effects. When you're done using it, you can easily switch back to the standard view.
Using the Keyboard Shortcut
The quickest and most common way to turn off outline mode is by using a keyboard shortcut.
- Simply press Shift + O on your keyboard.
This toggles the outline mode on and off instantly. Pressing Shift + O once will activate it (if off), and pressing it again will deactivate it (if on).
Navigating Through the Menu
Alternatively, you can disable outline mode by using Figma's menu options.
- You can navigate through the menu options in Figma to find the setting that controls outline mode.
While the specific menu path might vary slightly between Figma versions or interfaces, it is typically found under a 'View' or similar menu where display options are located.
