# Flipping a Portion of Your Design

#### **When to Use It**

Use this feature when part of your design needs to be flipped for the reverse side of a printed piece — for example:

* Folded brochures
* Double-sided postcards
* Templates with mirrored sections

#### **How It Works**

1. **Select a flippable area**\
   Choose a frame or group within your print template that represents the section to be flipped.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If no layer is selected, you’ll see an empty state prompting you to select one frame or group within your print template.&#x20;

{% endhint %}

2. **Enable the Flip Layout toggle**\
   Turn on the *Flip Selected Frame 180° for Folded Print* option.\
   The selected section will visually rotate 180°, showing how it will appear on the reverse side once printed.

#### **Preview and Adjust**

To preview how your flipped design will appear, when you're done with your design, before clicking on "Add to Rechat" Button, you can click on "Preview Button and see printed layout simulated in preview window.

{% hint style="danger" %}
When **Flip for Print** is enabled in the Rechat plugin, your design will remain unchanged in Figma.

This avoids forcing you to work on an inverted layout. The flip setting is stored in the file’s metadata and passed to the print provider so output (e.g., folded brochures, flyers) is handled correctly.
