Can You Prototype Across Pages Figma?

Last updated on December 14, 2022 @ 7:37 am

If you’re working on a web or app design in Figma, you may be wondering if it’s possible to prototype across pages. The answer is yes!

With Figma’s “Prototype” feature, you can link together multiple pages of your design to create a clickable, interactive prototype. This is a great way to test out the flow of your design and see how users will interact with it.

Here’s how to create a prototype across pages in Figma:

PRO TIP: If you are working on a Figma prototype that spans multiple pages, be aware that there is currently a known issue with the Page tool. When you try to add an interaction to a frame on one page that links to another page, the frame will become unselectable.

To work around this issue, you can add your interactions on the page that contains the frame you want to link from. Then, on the page, you want to link to, add a hotspot that covers the area where the linked frame would be. When you click on the hotspot, it will take you to the linked page.

1. Create your design on multiple pages in Figma.

Now when you click on the first frame, it will take you to the linked page. You can add more frames and links to create a complex prototype. When you’re finished, click on the “Play” icon to test out your prototype.
