I know Slides has been around for about 5 minutes, but I can’t figure this out. Is it possible to add button interactivity to Figma Slides - like having a ‘overview’ slide with links to individual slides later in the presentation? Right now, it seems to only support linear progression.
Basically, I’m looking for way to add a “jump to this section” button that skips around the presentation.
Hello, you can have nodes in your slide deck link to other slides by using the Link panel on the right!
@Silas_Tsui1 I feel pretty dumb asking this, but I don’t see a ‘Link’ panel anywhere. Any chance I can get a screenshot? Thanks!
yup, does this help?
I was looking for this too but I don’t have the option in the screenshot above 😭
I also would expect it to be in the animation tab, rather than design. So you can choose the transition style.
could you share a screenshot? which node do you have selected?
that’s a great point about setting transitions for links – i’ll share this feedback with our team, thanks!
Sorry, just saw this reply - I just checked back again and the option is there now. So either I had a blind moment or a bug was fixed 😅 Regardless, thank you for your help!
Will this only work with text elements? We have some buttons that help users navigate back to the title slide from any other slide but it doesn’t seem to show the “Link” panel…
Just following up on this, I feel like allowing both non-text elements and grouped text elements to act as nodes would be super helpful for more complex or lengthy presentations.
I totally agree. I think most designers will want to make custom buttons and whatnot to go to a desired slide. This is much more natural for a self-guided presentation. Basically what people are doing with prototypes today instead of slides.
Does any of you know if and how i could connect different slide decks with each other by using nodes in the same way as described above?
I’m having the same issue. I noticed that I can create a link with text but I cannot create a button.
It’s not ideal, but I just went the hacky route and used a text field filled with letters and set the opacity to zero. Then I set that on top of my buttons. I would imagine this functionality will be added later.
I don’t have the link option anywhere in Figma slides. Did this get removed? I can’t find any other information on it. I would love to be able to jump between slides!
@Laura_Heppell It only displays when you select text and are NOT in design mode. Have to be in normal slides mode.
Thank you!! I thought I tried every combination but I missed that one!
I’m having a hard time getting my links to the correct slides. For example, I select slide 14 in the dropdown but it links to slide 12 instead. Is anyone else having this problem?
