Right now, overlays in prototypes only work if the trigger and the overlay frame exist on the same page. This creates big limitations for real-world workflows:
-
Many teams work with a WIP page for ongoing design and a Presentation page for final client delivery. Moving frames between pages breaks all prototype connections.
-
Centralizing overlays in a dedicated page is not possible, since prototype actions cannot target frames outside the current page.
-
This forces designers to duplicate overlays on every page, which is error-prone and makes maintenance harder.
👉 Feature request: Please allow prototype links (including overlays) to reference frames across pages, with persistent connections that don’t break when moving components or screens between pages.
This would massively improve scalability for large prototypes and save hours of re-wiring interactions every time we restructure or clean up pages.
