How to Make the Figma Prototype Responsive

Quick summary

Making a Figma prototype responsive requires linking navigation components to prototype frames using the Prototype panel and interaction settings. Once configured with an On Click trigger and Navigate To action, clicking the navigation component transitions between frames seamlessly in presentation mode.

Steps

1. In your Figma design canvas, find and select the component you want to use as the navigation button.
2. Head to the right-side panel and click the Prototype tab.
3. Hover your cursor over the selected component to reveal the interaction handle.
4. Grab the Add icon and drag it to the prototype frame you want to connect.
5. In the Interaction settings, set the Trigger to On Click and the Action to Navigate To, then customize remaining settings as needed.
6. Repeat the same steps for your other navigation button to link the remaining frames.
7. Right-click the completed navigation component and select Copy.
8. Right-click the first prototype frame and select Paste Here, then paste the component into the other prototype frame as well.
9. Click the Present button at the top-right corner to preview and verify the output.
10. Click the navigation component in presentation mode to confirm your Figma design responds correctly based on your prototype inputs.
