How Do I Add Navigation to Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:56 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, which is primarily used by interface designers and user experience professionals. It is available as a web app and as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

One of Figma’s defining features is its ease of use and collaboration — it’s possible to work on the same design with multiple people in real-time.

Figma’s interface is clean and straightforward. The left panel contains the file explorer, where you can access all the files and folders in your project.

The middle panel is where you do your design work, and the right panel contains properties and settings for the currently selected object.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Figma, we recommend that you seek out help from someone who is before attempting to add navigation. Adding navigation can be tricky and if done incorrectly, could result in your Figma project becoming unusable.

To add navigation to your Figma design, first select the object that you want to use as the trigger for the navigation. Then, in the right panel, click on the “Interactions” tab.

In the “On Click” dropdown, select “Navigate To…”. A new window will open, where you can select the frame that you want to navigate to. You can also specify whether you want the transition to be animated, and what kind of animation you want to use.

Adding navigation to your Figma design is a simple process that can greatly improve the user experience of your design. By making it easy for users to move between different parts of your design, you can help them find what they’re looking for more easily. And by animating the transition between frames, you can add a bit of polish to your design that will make it more fun and engaging to use.
