Hi everyone!

I have 2 questions about Figma Sildes.

1. Am I blind or there is no slider to move between slides? And you need to scroll through a lot of slides? Any other idea how to do this?
2. I have table of contents on first slide. Is there any way to make it linked to the rest? Like Chapter 1 Blablabla - I clik there and it move me to the fight slide?

Hey @Lucja, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delayed reply!

To answer your first question, do you mean in Design mode or Present mode?

In Design mode, there is no slider, but you can use your arrow keys to move between slides.

In Present mode, you can also use your arrow keys or when hovering toward the bottom of your slides, controls will appear to navigate between slides.

As for you second question, yes - you can link your table of contents to the associated slide(s).

Just click on the text that you wish to link, then from the right, Design tab > go to the Link section where you will see a drop down menu that will allow you to choose the slide number you wish to link.

Hey @dvaliao , thanks for the response!

In Design mode, would be awesome to have some sort of slider…

Assume, you have around 100 slides and while navigating through them (let say from 4th to 70th slide to check something and back to 4th, imagine repeating it a couple of times), your middle finger will turn into a scrolling superhero in no time:)

In Present mode, also would be nice to have something like a box or a editable page number to jump to the desired slide…

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@dvaliao

I was just searching for ‘link to slides’ and came across this thread.

 

My version (125.2.3) does not have a ‘link’ section, only a ‘Text’ section with the link icon, when I select this I’m given a ‘Type or paste URL’ on the text field.

It seems there isn't a built-in slider in Figma for navigating slides, but you can use arrow keys or create custom buttons for faster navigation. For linking your table of contents, you can use Figma's Prototype feature to add interactions to the text, so clicking on a chapter will take you directly to the corresponding slide.

I found it, I had the pen icon selected on the bottom tool bar (above) but when it’s deselected there is a ‘Link’ panel as shown by ​@dvaliao
