Combining Presentation View with Prototype View

[Jonas_Benjaminsson]

Is there a way to combining the presentation view and prototype view… eh, it’s actually the same view, with or without prototype interactions.

I often want to use the to view modes at the same time. Some frames I just want to showcase by easily navigate trough them by using the keyboard arrows (Presentation View) but in some special frames I want to show some more specific interactions (Prototype View). But then… all the frames without connections disappears because they don’t have interactions. Why can’t I do both. It’s time-consuming and annoying to make connections between a lot of frames just because of a small amount of frames needs interactions.

Please say that I just missed some detail and this actually is possible

I feel your pain. I don’t think there is a solution. Someone else asked a similar question, there were some answers on how to work around this:

Prototypes - wire everything or nothing

The thing that drives me most crazy in Figma is how you can preview any screen in prototype mode IF there are no connections/wires but if there’s even one, you can’t preview a specific screen unless it’s somehow chained to the starting screen. As I design, I try out LOTS of ideas. I duplicate screens and tweak things over and over on the same page. But if I want to check out how an interaction works, suddenly the tool is fighting me. I either have to copy EVERY new idea into a new page, or figu…
