Show frame name in prototype

We don’t show the Frame name but if you click on the little dropdown next to the prototype name you should see an option for open in editor. This will then take you back to your design file with the current frame selected and centered in view.

I name my frames to specify a feature or screen change, but when I go into present mode I loose all of that context. Some frames might have a slight change, but my client or devs don’t have context to the change and I think showing the frame name would help.

This seems a little more useful than adding a comment that needs to be turned on to see.

Hey Reggie, frame names aren’t currently displayed in the prototype presentation. Feel free to add this as a new topic though under the Product Feedback category.

Out of curiosity though is there a reason for not sharing the editor view in view mode?

We tend to use editor mode to present work to clients, but when we share those designs to view on their own we only give them view access to the prototype view. We want to make it seamless for them to review designs without needing to create an account or understand how to navigate the editor.

Example: Adding inline, above or below the page counter < 1 /13 >

Hmm… This sounds like a bug. Possibly try submitting a bug report?

You could also check out the Figma Help Center.

Hope this helps!

Nope note a bug just something Figma doesn’t currently support. We don’t show Frame names within the presentation view. 🙂

I see… Thanks for letting me know!

Feel free to vote for this suggestion and add anything relevant: Show frame name in prototype

I agree with @Marianna_Pascucci , although I’m aware of the Open in Editor option. Often I want to keep an eye on the frame name, which does not mean I want to jump immediately to the editor. A subtle option to show frame name (even on demand) would be useful to me.
