how to make a clickable prototype in figma

braza points at the little blue node and shows you the drag-to-connect gesture that text tutorials can never quite explain.

a clickable prototype lets people tap through your screens like a real app. the whole thing hinges on one gesture - dragging a connector from a button to the next frame - which is almost impossible to follow in writing. here's the flow.

or do it yourself

  1. 1switch from the 'design' tab to the 'prototype' tab in the top-right panel.
  2. 2click the element you want to be tappable - a button, a card, an arrow.
  3. 3hover its edge until a blue '+' node appears, then drag from that node to the frame you want to open.
  4. 4in the interaction popup, set the trigger to 'on click' and the action to 'navigate to'.
  5. 5press the play (▶) button top-right to preview and click through it.
