Figma Creating Figma Prototype 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which easing option produces motion that starts slow, speeds up, then slows down?
- Linear
- Ease In
- Ease In and Out (Correct answer)
- Ease Out
Correct answer: Ease In and Out
"Ease In and Out" accelerates at the start and decelerates at the end.
Question 2: When using "After Delay" as a trigger, what is required for it to work?
- A click on the element
- The frame must be the active screen and a time delay set (Correct answer)
- An overlay must be open
- A component variant must change
Correct answer: The frame must be the active screen and a time delay set
After Delay automatically fires once the frame is shown and the set time elapses.
Question 3: What is a common use of the "Mouse Enter" and "Mouse Leave" trigger pair?
- Creating scroll animations
- Building hover-state interactions that toggle on and off (Correct answer)
- Exporting assets
- Resizing the canvas
Correct answer: Building hover-state interactions that toggle on and off
Mouse Enter shows a state and Mouse Leave reverses it for hover effects.
Question 4: In Figma prototypes, what does "Swap Overlay" do?
- Closes all overlays
- Replaces the current overlay with a different one in place (Correct answer)
- Opens a new tab
- Changes the device frame
Correct answer: Replaces the current overlay with a different one in place
Swap Overlay exchanges the visible overlay for another without closing it first.
Question 5: Which connection appears in the canvas to show a prototype interaction between two frames?
- A dashed grid line
- A blue arrow/noodle (Correct answer)
- A red constraint marker
- A green auto-layout badge
Correct answer: A blue arrow/noodle
Prototype connections are shown as blue arrows ("noodles") linking elements to destinations.
Question 6: What is the keyboard shortcut behavior to enter Figma's Presentation (Play) mode?
- It opens the prototype in a new viewer to test interactions (Correct answer)
- It exports a PDF
- It locks the file
- It deletes prototype links
Correct answer: It opens the prototype in a new viewer to test interactions
Presentation mode launches an interactive preview of the prototype flow.
Question 7: To create a reusable interactive element with multiple states, what feature is best?
- Boolean groups
- Component with variants and interactive components (Correct answer)
- Layout grids
- Export settings
Correct answer: Component with variants and interactive components
Interactive components let variants change state on triggers without manual links.
