Conditional interactions in Figma - Cheat Sheet & Quick Revision

Recall & Review

beginner

What are conditional interactions in Figma?

Conditional interactions let you create actions that happen only when certain conditions are met, like clicking a button only if a checkbox is checked.

beginner

How do you add a condition to an interaction in Figma?

You select the interaction, then add a condition by choosing a trigger and setting rules like 'If checkbox is checked' before the action happens.

beginner

Why use conditional interactions in prototypes?

They make prototypes behave more like real apps by showing or hiding elements, enabling buttons, or changing screens only when certain things happen.

Can you combine multiple conditions in one interaction in Figma?

Yes, you can combine conditions using AND/OR logic to make interactions happen only when multiple rules are true.

beginner

What is a real-life example of a conditional interaction in a prototype?

For example, a 'Submit' button only becomes clickable if the user fills in all required fields, mimicking real form behavior.

What does a conditional interaction in Figma allow you to do?

A Export designs as images

B Change colors automatically without user input

C Trigger actions only when specific conditions are met

D Create animations without triggers

Conditional interactions trigger actions only when set conditions are true, making prototypes interactive and realistic.

Which of these is a common condition you can use in Figma interactions?

A If a checkbox is checked

B If the file size is large

C If the user is offline

D If the screen resolution changes

Figma lets you use UI states like checkbox checked as conditions for interactions.

Can you use multiple conditions together in one interaction in Figma?

A No, only one condition is allowed

B Yes, using AND/OR logic

C Only if you use plugins

D Only for animations

Figma supports combining multiple conditions with AND/OR to control interactions precisely.

What happens if the condition in a Figma interaction is not met?

A The interaction still happens

B The prototype crashes

C The screen refreshes

D The interaction is skipped

If the condition is false, the interaction does not trigger, so nothing changes.

Why are conditional interactions useful in prototyping?

A They add realistic user behavior

B They make prototypes look static

C They reduce file size

D They speed up exporting

Conditional interactions simulate real user choices, making prototypes feel real and interactive.

Explain how conditional interactions improve the realism of a Figma prototype.

Think about how apps only respond after certain user actions.

Describe the steps to add a conditional interaction to a button in Figma.

Start from selecting the element, then add trigger and condition.
