Hi,
“Hide prompts when sharing a Make prototype” seems extremely straightforward, but is not yet possible, thus this feature request.
I love working with Figma Make and want to integrate it into the prototyping workflow. Unfortunately, sharing Make prototypes turned out to be a real headache. But without being able to share a prototype externally (and temporarily), the whole Make prototyping workflow doesn’t make sense, since copying the prototype pages into design doesn’t copy any interactions or animations.
The goal: Share the Make full-screen preview with external viewers, without showing the AI chat history
# Problem 1: Prototype viewable for logged-in users only
Sharing did not work for not logged-in users, for whatever reason. Figma support couldn’t help either, thus it might be a bug.
Workaround: Create a free account for the viewer, then share the full-screen preview
To shorten and speed up the whole thing, I decided to create an account for my client, and then share the preview with them (“view-only”). This is not a preferred process, but I thought it worth a try.
→ THIS RESULTED IN:
# Problem 2: Sharing only possible with the AI chat history
Unfortunately, sharing the prototype showed the AI chat as well – and I definitely don’t want my client to see my prompts. That would be akin to sharing all sketches and thoughts with the client.
→ NOT AN OPTION.
# Alternative with privacy concerns: Publish the prototype to the web
“Publish with a password” could be an alternative.
But considering privacy issues of the prototype (regarding text content, but also for image rights etc.), the following statement really concerns me:
“Note: If you downgrade from a paid plan to a free plan, any Figma Make files previously published to the web or the Figma Community will remain published and available at their figma.site subdomain.” (from https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/31304586129559-Publish-update-or-unpublish-a-functional-prototype-or-web-app, below “Unpublish a functional prototype or web app” )”
→ Come on, Figma: “Published” as the default state in the free plan for previously unpublished sites is a bit dubious, don’t you think? This really doesn’t inspire confidence and has to be changed!
Thanks for listening, and looking forward to the changes
D.
