I would really love to vote on this idea:
But it closed down.
What I would use it for:
One of the pages of my Figma files is usually dedicated to the Design System. I would love to be able to share this page as a prototype where users could select the text. For example color values, type values, ‘class’-names etc. Typing over manually is not great.
Yes I know I can create a separate Figma file with just the Design System and publish this, so other files can use it. But this is not ideal for two reasons:
- Most of the time I just work with one file, not separate design files. Having the styles and components library as a separate file would only complicate the workflow
- To be able to select anything in a file (not prototype) a user would need to register a Figma account while Prototypes can be accessed without an account.
As @Vlad_Radionov said: “I think it would be a great update to the Figma prototype if you could copy text from there.”
