Create one prototype across the pages in a file

I would love to be able to create one prototype across the pages in a file that resembles an actual website. This would be ideal for bigger projects and would be easier to maintain as well. We can connect the component libraries across all the pages anyways. A way to connect the prototype would be great in my opinion and that will give Figma a big leg up on other platforms.

What do you guys think?

+1 to having this feature. Links to another page open in a new window which is slow and annoying.

Is there a Plugin that can do that “leap” between pages to make a bigger prototype?

I’m also in the brink of having my giant client moving away from Figma due to the size of the prototype and the need to have it going from page to page. To show different user journeys.

Is there a roadmap somewhere we can see how far in the distance this might be?

Yes! I also see the other topics related to this, and would like to add an example to this larger idea.

Experiences are not necessarily exclusive on one device anymore. They are growing more fluid between devices- web, mobile, tablet, watch. As a designer, I would like to prototype and share experiences with my team and my clients, that transcend devices, and want to be able to share the story seamlessly, without jumping between prototypes for each device.

Example: A customer and his family go to a restaurant and take a table. They notice an iPad-like screen fixed to the table where they can place the order. This screen shows a QRCode that the user can access on their phones. The user’s other family members on the table can also do so, because it would be cumbersome to just have one person on the table access the QRcode. Now, everyone on the table are accessing the menu on their respective phones. As they drop in their personal orders, the screen in the center of the table is updated, so that the main/first user can take a final look to confirm and place the order.
When the user places the order, all members on the table get confirmation messages as well. Additionally every user gets a respective confirmation as and when their food items are ready.

As you can imagine, sharing this experience and telling the story would be hard, if I need to bounce between two prototypes- one with the ipad device and the other with the phone device.

Therefore, Figma needs to implement a way that prototypes can seamlessly move between the other, and not be limited to flows within just a page.

We need, multi-flow(exists today), multi-page, multi-device prototyping!

I’m still surprised to see this is not yet implemented. I’m working on a big application that requires some linking across multiple pages. Having all layouts on one page is a complete mess, but might be the only solution for now.
It’d be incredibly helpful, and I’d be very grateful, to have this feature implemented.

Thanks, Figma!
