Remove auto creating flow starting points

I love the new feature that allows multiple prototypes per page. One issue I’m having with it, is it assumes I want everything to be a new flow starting point each time I don’t link something from the first flow starting page.

It has a very linear mindset. When I work/prototype I tend to work on a section, then link it back and that creates many flow starting points on accident and I have to delete them.

It’d be nice if either - it only created the first one, and doesn’t assume you want many or there’s some kinda preference/setting where I can turn it off.

Do other people delete starting points or have work arounds? Or is there a preference/setting I’m missing where I can turn it off?

This should be something that must be explicitly made by the user. It’s extremely frustrating the way it works now.

I year passed, and nothing changed! How can I turn off this stupid auto creating flow points?

+1. I would like a simple toggle. I use hybrid presentation/prototype client facing links from Figma and any minor adjustment to a flow drops a start point and breaks the link.

So frustrating! This “auto creating link” bug/feature keeps blocking viewers from navigating all the screens on the page when in viewer mode. It’s wasting designers’ time to remove it every time (it auto creates upon making any edit on the page).

It’s impossible to navigate between frames in prototype mode using just the ← → keyboard arrows. I have to delete the flow every time. PLEASE FIX THIS!

I’d like to express my frustration as well… This is getting annoying. I don’t want to remove all these flows all the time, please make it so that we can turn it off.

Running into this same bug (or intended behavior?) every day, when creating presentations it is very very annoying!! Figma creates a new Flow starting point whenever I touch the interactions in a presentation…

Using Figma since 2018.
