The best way to learn (and eventually master) Auto Layout is by doing. The team at Figma know this, so they made this playground file, encouraging you to try it out and play around with all the different Auto Layout settings.

Get that file here: https://www.figma.com/community/file/...
For the bonus exercises, you can duplicate my file here: https://www.figma.com/community/file/...

PS I'm still learning how to make videos for YouTube. If this video was helpful, please do drop a like or share it with a friend. If you want to help me, leave a comment letting me know what I can improve or what you want to see more of!
