Common Pitfalls

Here are common mistakes when sharing prototype links in Figma:

• Not setting permissions: If you don't set 'Anyone with the link', others may not access the prototype.
• Sharing design file link instead of prototype link: Make sure to copy the prototype link, not just the file link.
• Forgetting to publish prototype changes: If you update your prototype, ensure changes are saved before sharing.

Wrong way:
- Copy file link without setting permissions.

Right way:
- Click 'Share' -> Set 'Anyone with the link' -> Copy prototype link.

Quick Reference

Step	Action	Notes
1	Open Figma file	Start with your prototype file open
2	Click 'Share'	Top-right corner button
3	Set permissions	Choose 'Anyone with the link' for easy access
4	Copy prototype link	Use this link to share your prototype
5	Send link	Share via email, chat, or any platform

Key Takeaways

Always set link permissions to 'Anyone with the link' to allow access.

Use the 'Share' button in Figma to get the correct prototype link.

Double-check you are sharing the prototype link, not just the file link.

Publish your prototype changes before sharing to ensure viewers see the latest version.

Share the copied link via your preferred communication method.
