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 !! With my very large company migrating over to Figma as our #1 Design app, this was a disappointing limitation to discover. We have a fairly large application that needs to have cross-page links be seamless in order to create a realistic prototype.

    Has anyone come up with a plugin to solve this problem yet? That might be the best way to approach solving this and get the attention of Figma by the sheer volume of us that would use it.

    +1 on this from a brand new user! I just went to start linking screens and cannot believe linking between pages is not possible. I’ve been able to do that for the past 4 years in Sketch and InVision

    Hi Josh - It has been about 9 months since your last update. Any good news for all of us? If each of these nearly thousand requests represents a company, how many designers are dreaming of this feature. Since using Figma, I look up this issue at least once a month to try to figure out a work around!

      This is exactly my issue as well

      I’m working to build a Design System in Figma right now and I’m very dismayed to find that the list of all Pages doesn’t show up in the Design Preview Mode. I have to launch each Page separately and cannot link between items on different pages. Big time sad face here.

      This essentially makes Pages 75% useless for me. Please add the ability to link between Pages and IMPORTANTLY: to see and be able to switch between the list of pages in Design Preview Mode

        +1 really need this to properly identify when different pages link to the same UI, currently have duplicates of the same UI and it isn’t clear to devs the UI already exists on another page when in prototype mode

        +1 for this idea. It was one of my view, but most shocking realizations that this wasn’t possible in Figma. I understand that it might be a bit difficult to implement elegantly, depending on the use case.

        The use case for me would that I just like to organize my designs in a nice way. So one design concept per page, where I also prototype everything. Then have an overall page I use in the prototype to link to these individual pages together. Would be super handy.
