Create one prototype across the pages in a file

And sadly not part of the Config ‘advanced prototyping’ updates. Less shiny new, fix the basics please!

In desperate need for this feature for more complex prototypes

Regarding the last sentence: No idea.

Figma folks that are kinda active here always say that the forums are “community driven”. There’s clearly a need for a proper official supported forum / feedback platform (bug reports, feature requests, feedback, transparent roadmaps, changelogs, annoucnements, …) that is actively monitored and run by Figma Support and Community Managers. And whoever is reading this and is now thinking “Isn’t that what this forum is all about?” then I can only say yes, I absolutely agree, but it seems Figma doesn’t realize this forum needs way more official activity.

I don’t think this is a good idea for now.
Currently prototypes become very slow when there is a lot in it’s page. Getting this feature would mean that a prototype, made in a clean, minimal prototype page could get bogged down because of the contents of other pages. This performance issue would need to be solved first.

(After knowing about this limitation it’s also made it super clear for me and other editors that the prototype exists on one page and it’s easy to be extra careful with it)

I worked for many years on complex systems. Many pages, multiple flows in each page. That’s why I have used Axure for that…I am learning now Figma, and that’s the first thing that came into my mind (Axure does not use frames or artboards. its all pages).
So I guess that I am voting for this as well. Unless you have simple app, it makes sense to prototype also between pages. 🫣

Still waiting

The lack of this feature essentially ruins the concept of pages. Why would you split your project into pages if you can’t link the parts for prototyping?
Huge gap - works in any other application - PLEASE FIX!

WORKAROUND !
…that seems to work:

• install plugin “Prototype Quick Link”: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/832335368157959508/Prototype-Quick-Link
• enter file key (web address of your file)
• create a Flow starting point on the page you want to jump to
• stay on that page and use Prototype Quick Link to copy the address of the Flow starting point to clipboard
• create an interaction at the page you want to jump off from, choose “open link” and paste the address as a link.

Without using plugins: Create one prototype across the pages in a file - #243 by tank666.

Thanks tank666 for directing at your comment, which I hadn’t seen. My plugin workaround might run into problems when using the desktop app, whereas this one shouldn’t.
