I agree the term “Pages” seems a bit odd considering you could never actually have different pages or screens of an interface spread out across “Pages”, because as as you said, there is no way to link to these in a prototype.

I treat “Pages” as versions for my UI projects, or as categories for graphic design projects.

The point is to categorise and organise

I understand the point of Pages to separate designs into smaller bites. This is useful for allowing people (including yourself) to focus more easily on a single chunk at a time. Non-designers often have a much easier time navigating designs when they can flip pages vs pan and zoom across a canvas.

Where this falls on its face is when you want to use Prototyping, since Figma does not support the two of them together at all well. This was especially disappointing when I’d recently made a fairly large web app that I’d separated nicely into pages for stakeholders to review. When I needed to make the screens interactive, I had to reverse course and put every screen on the same page, so I could allow prototyping interaction between all of them.

I reported this issue to Support but it could be a very long time until it’s addressed.
