# Tethered label

_UI micro-interactions · Figma Motion Path example_

A callout label stays pinned to an object as it travels the path — a moving annotation. It's a ready-made recipe you can tweak and apply in a click — every option below writes real, editable Figma Motion keyframes.

## How to create it in Figma

1. **Add example to canvas** builds the whole wired scene ready-made — the fastest way to see it.
2. To animate your own layers, set the tether / connected objects in the **Connector** section, select your layers, then Apply.
3. Tweak the variables — the **preview updates live**. Use the reset icon to restore defaults.
4. Click **Apply to selection** to write the animation, or **Add example to canvas** to drop a ready-made demo.

## Tips

- **Add example to canvas** builds every layer wired up, so you can play it immediately.
- The label rides the object frame-for-frame — great for callouts and live labels on a moving element.
