Does figma do not support overlay prototype components in different pages? Or I am doing something wrong? I created button component with hover overlay effect (prototype) of listed menu items, hoverver If I use same component button in different PAGE drop down menu overlay doesn’t work. Is this a bug or figma doesn’t support prototypes across the pages?

I use firefox, it doesn’t work on app either


Video explanation attached figma-bug.mkv on Vimeo

I am facing the same issue. Overlays attached to interactive variants don’t work either


Same problem here…


I need to call an overlay from my component


and bring this component with the overlay interaction to my main prototype page



Right now I have to create multiples prototype switch case pages to call the same overlay interaction one by one


My case is an overlay dropdown menu - would like to call it in the component prototype not in the main prototype page


How we can make this a feature request?


Hey All, sorry for the trouble!


It currently isn’t possible to create a prototype across the pages of your file, but this is already on our radar for the future.
