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?

I am new to figma and just assumed that this would be possible. Its crazy it isn’t and unacceptable people have been asking for it for so long

I’m not a designer, but a Frontend dev. Doing my poor designing stuff quickly felt the need of navigating from one page to another, since maintaining pages in pages INSTEAD OF FRAMES is actually logic. Atomic design is the first thing to tell: segment as much as possible turn the whole idea in a bunch of atoms. Then mix them as you please.
Figma’s team are missing a big point and forcin the community to do bad practices in design, quite disapointing. after opening this topic now 1,5 years ago

@Figma_Support can you please at least update us on this? This is a crucial feature that is missing from Figma that is hamstringing a lot of us. It’s been over a year and a half and has been like a year since the last update. How have you not implemented this yet? How have you just ignored this for this long without even letting us know what’s happening?

We don’t need sleep. We need answers.

OMG, this can’t be real @Figma_Team @Figma_Support
Can you give us at least a update about it?

Same problems here. It’s extremely frustrating. You can’t created complexe component with overlay call and having it use across the pages. I just finish by moving the hall component to the main page just to be able to use it in a prototype.

Same with navigation btwn pages, i have to get everything in the same page. But when you work on a 1O0 screen pages it’s just becoming a job to keep it organise and clean. You finishing with component around pages duplicate everywhere. Just to be able to make the prototype.

I really hope you will take this tread in consideration. At least some news about it should be the minimum, personally more the time past and more im thinking moving to a tools who allow me to have a nice and clean files
