[LAUNCHED] Allow interactive prototypes to be used offline

Same here – being able to download prototypes to your smartphone for offline usage would be a blast. Not having to rely on mobile data when we do usability testing on the road is a great relief in Germany.

This is a huge necessity. Do we have any alternative way for offline viewing at this moment?

I am prepping my sales team to demo a prototype at an upcoming trade show, and the internet reliability is questionable. The reps need to be able to access the prototype offline. From what I can tell, they need to download the Figma app, open the prototype, leave their computer on, and then they can access it when they go offline.

Is there no way to open a local copy of the prototype in the app when they are offline? I’m worried if someone closes the app, they won’t be able to pull it back up. Thoughts?

Oh my. Unfortunately, it’s a huge prototype and the event is Tuesday so rebuilding isn’t an option. Thanks for the info. I will let them know. Hopefully, they’ll be able to hotspot!

Try my Demo Station plugin. It allows you to download a prototype as a ZIP-file to use it in offline.

This works perfectly! Thank you so much!

@MaxBazarov Now that I downloaded the zip file of the prototype how do I run it?

You open the html.

Unfortunatly, only page browsing is allowed. You can’t play with interactive components (hover, active…)

We use our prototypes to do user testing during tradeshows but internet connection can be spotty sometimes. It would be SO nice if there was an option to access the interactive prototype offline through the Figma desktop app.
