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?

Another +1 for this. Would unlock huge value to be able to navigate across multiple pages of a hifi prototype

I’m a starting designer and it took me just about a week to over grow from one page having it all. Performance with single page started to be pretty horrible so I added new pages for each web page I’m designing. Then I just to found out it is not possible to switch between pages using interactions. What a bummer.

I agree with the people here. Especially for components it would be very nice to have. I currently have components in a separate page. I have found that linking the main component to something (let’s say multiple frames) is the best way to do it because I’d only have to change stuff once. Unfortunately, the way this stands it means that my main components need to be on that specific page instead in order for the links to work properly.

+1 Just found out you couldn’t interact between pages. I’m so pissed.

@Jono_Young A noble attempt at a work-around 👏
When I try this, the object linking to the other page opens in a new tab but not in ‘play prototype’ mode. Is that what you’re experiencing or is there a way to open the the other page (in a new tab) but remain in play mode?

@Giblette_Ethan_M we have moved away from this approach and we are now using a single page with Flows to serve as a left nav menu.

A UI can be designed. A UX can be measured.
