Has the functionality for sharing links to selected frame been removed?


I upgraded to Figma Desktop App version 116.2.4, and now I no longer see the option in the dialog that appears when I select a frame and hit the ‘Share’ button.


I double checked, by creating a new document with a couple of empty frames in, and still no luck.


Does anybody else suffer this issue? If it’s been removed, then it’s a massively frusrating regression – we frequently link to individual frames when working with developers and referencing design features.

same here. 🫠 can’t share any specific frame anymore through the share function.

After a quick investigation within my company, I start to think it is related to being a team owner or not. Team owners have the functionality while admins and other roles don’t.

I have the same issue. I cannot confirm the last finding, that it depends on whether you’re a team owner or not. I moved a file from a team where I’m an editor to a team where I’m the owner, and the interface is currently without the link to selected frame. Instead, I only see the options for publish to community or get embed code.


I’d really love this feature back, as it helps people navigate in complex projects with lots of frames.

Hello @MoniqueD, you can still use the feature with the following workaround:



  1. Right-click on your frame or section.

  2. Go to “Copy/Paste as”.

  3. Select “Copy link”.


Figma - Copy link

@MoniqueD I don’t see that option in my Edit menu:

If you right click on the frame you want to link directly to you should be able to chose copy link

Really Figma?

Why would you remove a feature that is used and loved by everybody? This is about paywalls and team accounts for sure. This is a terrible move. Please bring back a NONE confusing option that we know will send developers, product designers, design team to the EXACT frame I’m looking at.

Hey @Court_Kizer, sorry for the frustration!


To clarify from the workarounds already listed above, this feature was never removed; however, “Link to selected frame” was removed from the share dialog in August 2022.


I’ve updated this topic into a feature request as Tank also suggested a couple of years ago. We’ll pass this feedback onto the team for future consideration.

Same here. Can’t see any option to copy link.

Same for me. The “link to selection” is missing in the share form, and if I copy link from dialog (Command +L) this select the whole page instead the selected frame, even I’m owner of the project.
