Figma slides: more options to scroll slides

Many people use Flides (definitely use that name ;)) to embed the presentation on their website or share it to people.

As of today, the buttons to scroll slides are quite small. It’d be great to have more options, for example bigger “previous” and “next” buttons like swiper does (see BuiltForMars case studies).

I tried adding text with links but this comes with several downsides:

  • Need to update the links on every slide (= painful)
  • No animation when links between slides (which is actually another feature request)
  • The link is only on the text and not on the enclosing layout

These optional scrolling buttons could also come with different counters.
I reckon that would need to be another entity within Flides, some kind of footer that would be applied to all slides.

Hey @Antoine_Sochat, thank you for reaching out and sharing this insightful feedback!

I can definitely see how more prominent and customisable navigation buttons in Figma slides or “Flides” would enhance both the user experience and ease of embedding presentations on websites. The challenges you mentioned, like updating individual links and the lack of animations, are valuable points.

I’ll make sure to pass this along to the team for consideration. Upvotes and additional feedback from the community can really help prioritise feature requests.

Thanks again for taking the time to suggest this!

Hi! The team has acknowledged your feedback and shared that they’re actively working on the animation aspect of it. While we don’t have a timeline to share just yet, I’d recommend keeping an eye on the release notes for updates: Figma Release Notes.

Stay tuned!
