Generating a Shareable Figma Link
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to generate a shareable Figma link.
Step 1: Open Your Design File
From your Figma dashboard, navigate to the specific design file you wish to share. Click on the file to open it.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Share’ Button
Towards the top-right corner of your screen, you will find the ‘Share’ button (symbolized by a box with an upward arrow). Click on it.
Step 3: Copy the Link
Once you click on the ‘Share’ button, a dialog box will appear. In this box, there’s a ‘Copy Link’ button. Click on it to copy the link to your clipboard. This link can now be shared with anyone you want to access the file.
Sharing a Prototype Link
In addition to sharing design files, Figma also allows you to share prototype links. Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Open Your Prototype
Open the specific prototype you wish to share.
Step 2: Enter the Prototype Presentation View
Click on the ‘Present’ button (symbolized by a play icon) in the top-right corner. This will open your prototype in the Presentation View.
Step 3: Copy the URL
Copy the URL in the address bar of your web browser. This is your prototype’s shareable link.
