Before you start your import
If your Figma file is set to private or password protected you will need to update the file settings in order to import to Optimal. Learn more about how this works and upcoming releases to improve this import process in this doc: How to import a private or password-protected Figma file to Optimal
How to import your Figma prototype
Create a new Prototype study in Optimal, add a study name, choose the location for your study to live then select ‘Figma link’ then ‘Create study’.
2. Go to the ‘Set up’ tab and click ‘Add prototype’.
3. Retrieve your Figma link.
Note: If the person uploading the Figma file to Optimal has view access only for that file, the owner or editor of the file must:
Check the box “Viewers can copy, save, and export from this file” under the design file share settings
or
Upload the Figma file themselves to Optimal
4. Paste your Figma link in the ‘Figma prototype link’ field, then click ‘Import’.
5. Your Figma prototype should appear in the Prototype Preview. If you make any updates to your prototype in Figma, you can Re-sync it by clicking ‘Re-sync to file’ at any time.
