This beginner-friendly Figma tutorial will teach you how to design and prototype an interactive dropdown menu right inside Figma. We'll build a functional Figma dropdown component with click interactions to open and close the menu.

We'll start by reviewing different Figma dropdown design styles and examples to explore visual cues like arrows, hovers, and transitions that indicate dropdown functionality. Then we'll use Figma variants to build a reusable Figma dropdown component that can be configured with different content.

Next, we'll add interactivity to our Figma prototype using taps and clicks to toggle menu visibility. We'll use smart animate and auto layout techniques to create a natural Figma dropdown interaction complete with smooth open/close animation.
