Which feature grows text frames automatically to fit imported text?

Explanation:
Auto-Size makes a text frame resize automatically to fit the text you place inside it. When a frame is set to Auto-Size in the Text Frame Options, it can grow (and, if allowed, shrink) in height, width, or both as soon as the imported text exceeds the current frame bounds. This means long passages can be brought in without manually resizing the frame or creating new frames, keeping all content visible. The other features don’t perform this specific automatic resizing: Smart Text Reflow focuses on reflowing text across frames and pages (and can add frames as needed), Find/Change is for searching and replacing text, and Baseline Grid governs line alignment rather than frame sizing.
