Create one prototype across the pages in a file

This is a critical feature for us – and I imagine for anyone making a prototype that’s more complicated than a weather app. e.g. I have a page for onboarding, and then want to show where it finally hands-off too… without duping a whole bunch of screens.

+1 for this feature. Coming from an agency where we create large applications and websites, it is impossible for us to use the prototyping in Figma without creating a completely unorganized file.

I agree that having the ability to link to other pages directly within the Figma prototype dialog box would be helpful but the ability to “add links to text” to link from artboard to artboard (or frame to frame) or to external websites does exist in Figma, as described in this article:

Add Links To Text

OK, so it’s only TEXT that can have links added (not an object such as a button) but that text can be contained in a button, dropdown or whatever. Figma does add an underline to the text (can be overridden though).

I have used this workaround with a lot of success, what is your experience of LINKS in FIGMA?

I was very surprised as well that this was not a feature. After finding this out I thought I would copy and paste everything onto one Page BUT the interactions drop out. Too late to rebuild the file for user testing. Frustrating.

2 Requests:

1. Ability to have Interaction between Frames on different Pages.
2. Ability to have Interactions stay in place when coping to a different Page.

I don’t see any official response here… is this underway yet? Do we have a release date or version?

CHECKING IN @anon21722796

The folks I work with are still grappling with this problem.

Thanks for the consideration.

This is fucking ridiculous. I literally told my team the benefits of going to Figma from Sketch and I find out I can’t even link to a screen to a different page on the same file.

This is such a huge oversight from your product team.

This feature is utmost important for all Figma user, this one feature is where figma lags behind. Figma team do consider this and resolve the issue asap. Linking to different page is very important when you are working on huge websites and categories.

Definitely a must for prototyping. Even just adding an “open in the same tab” checkbox at the bottom of interaction details would do; at least until a better cross-page prototyping capability is implemented.

This is an enormous gap. I recently purchased Figma for my team. If I had known about this issue, I would have had reservations about Figma. Being unable to link pages is a ton of extra work. And the only quasi-workaround seems to be to put each screen on a separate page with each link opening a new tab; creating a ridiculous prototype experience. Please prioritize this as an urgent issue and at minimum give us a workaround where links don’t have to open new tabs…
