Switch to Enable / Disable the interactive components per instance

That will be a great feature – It will be extremely helpful if we can turn OFF all interactions inside components. This way if we create a prototype we will not make users think there is any interactivity where there is none – (simple example) a button that has an overlay. But at the same time we will have one library with both interactive and non-interactive components.

I do agree wit this sooooo much!

Hey guys!
There is a way to disable unwanted interactions. Simply right click the group which you want to disable the interactions for and click on “Remove interactions”.
In my case in the attached image I use this approach to remove interactions on everything that exists under the pop up that is currently on the screen.

Did you guys find a solution for this? The above mentioned “remove interactions” does not work for me when I select an instance of an element from the design system used in the file.

Anyone else is having an issue with turning off the interactive component?
I first created an interaction inside the variants, checked them out, then cancelled my actions. But the prototype still shows an interaction.
I have restarted the prototype, and Disabled Interactive Components, but it hasn’t worked.

Please help!

Aizhan -

Yep - been wondering too - checkbox you’ve identified doesn’t appear to enable/disable as expected.

However, IF you right click the instance of interactive component in Prototype tab, then you can “Remove interactions” (I’m assuming just for that instance). A quick check in prototype view showed me this functional procedure works. In my case, I am not seeing any onhover interactivity of the instance of the button that had that interactivity “removed.”

Ive just had an instance this morning where all interactive components on all my user journeys are activated. The checkbox does nothing. Something must have changed in a Figma update as I will now have to manually remove the interactions at a library level as we are demonstrating in 2 hours. There are too many screens to remove the interactions at a screen level. Has a recent update broke the “enable interactive component” checkbox?

I actually been trying to find this “Enable Interactive Component” box but couldn’t find it anywhere! Help?!

Twice now, I’ve done something that disables interactivity on my prototypes. No hover states, open overlays etc. I feel like I might be accidentally toggling to this state with a mistyped shortcut keystroke but I’m not sure. The first time it happened I was able to get it working again… somehow. But I seem to have done it again.

Same for me. The checkbox that was usually accessible by clicking on the canvas/ESC disappeared. This way I can’t disable the animations … It did work a few weeks ago, 100%.

Where did the option go to toggle “Enable Interactive Component”??? I need to disable all toggle switches in my prototype, not important when presenting a demo.

Has this been solved? I cannot disable the interactions embedded in the interactive components. Neither the “Remove Interactions” from the right-click dropdown nor deleting the interaction from the properties panel don’t work for me…
