PRO TIP: This note is to warn you about the article “How Do You Do Interactive Components in Figma?”

Please be aware that the information in this article is outdated and no longer accurate. The Figma team has released new updates that make interactive components much easier to use. We recommend that you use the latest version of Figma when working with interactive components.

With the Frame tool, you can create an interactive frame by adding a frame within a frame. This is great for creating simple interactions like hover states or click events. To add an interaction, simply select the frame you want to add the interaction to and click the “add interaction” icon in the toolbar.

With the Component tool, you can create more complex interactions by adding event triggers and actions. To add an interaction, simply select the component you want to add the interaction to and click the “add interaction” icon in the toolbar. Then, select the event trigger (such as “on click” or “on hover”) and action (such as “go to page” or “show/hide element”) you want to use.

Creating interactive components in Figma is quick and easy – no coding required!
