Can't find the "flow" button on the right hand side bar

Hi, I’m having a difficult time with my second project on Figma. I’m unable to create a flow on my responsive website design. I’ve tried duplicating the project/copy and pasting it to a new layer, and even tried to start building it from scratch again, but nothing is working. I’ve reached out to the support team twice but haven’t gotten a response yet. Can anyone help me?!

Thanks for the additional context, @Reem_Shalhoub!

Since you don’t have access yet, it’s likely not the issue.

From what our team can see, your issue happening because your design is not within a frame. You can’t have an interaction coming out of a group, nor can you set them as a flow starting point.

You can only add a flow, if your design is inside a non-group or non-section top level frame. If you put your layers within a frame (and give the layers more descriptive names rather than the default names), Flow should start working as expected.

thank you for your response @dvaliao. I’m trying what you suggested but i still am not getting anything. I tried creating the frame around each page and nothing is happening other than all the layers being grouped together. I’m sorry about the back and forth but is there a way to visually demonstrate this?

Hey @Reem_Shalhoub,

Sure - not a problem! I’m on a macOS device, so I’m using the ⌥ Option ⌘ Command G shortcut.
